[Bank of America Strategist Hartnett: Risk-Off Sentiment May Persist] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on October 2, Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett stated that investors might continue to avoid higher-risk trades until the U.S. dollar peaks and bond yields retreat from multi-decade highs. The Bloomberg Dollar Index has risen 3% from its September low, indicating that investors are increasing cash holdings and reducing leverage. He suggested starting to increase bond positions while warning that further declines in small-cap stocks and bank stocks could signal weakening market optimism about economic growth, which may ultimately put pressure on tech stocks.
