BofA IQ Credit Strategist: 'we prefer to continue hedging Iran war risks. Long the Chemicals sector is one such hedge'

BofA IQ Credit Strategist: 'we prefer to continue hedging Iran war risks. Long the Chemicals sector is one such hedge'.

The analyst comments "Last week, the risks for IG spreads were a blend of heavy supply and the Iran war. The supply overhang has been largely resolved after the $115bn in issuance. This positive technical for the second half of March is now offset by the lack of any resolution of the Iran conflict. Continued sizable tail risks from Iran suggest spreads should be biased wider in the second half of March as well. We position for slower supply by being

BofA Investment Grade Credit Strategists: 'recession risk remains low'

BofA Investment Grade Credit Strategists: 'recession risk remains low'.

The analyst comments "IG spreads reached near cyclical tights this week on the combination of strong technicals, declining tariff uncertainty and a resilient US economy.
