BlackRock Upgrades U.S. Treasuries to Lock In Income, Favors Short-Term Bonds

BlackRock Investment Institute upgraded U.S. Treasuries in its Oct. 11 weekly commentary, preferring short-term bonds. It said higher yields — the income relative to price — improve potential returns. For savers, that means locking in steady interest now. I'm skeptical of timing calls, but the income math is straightforward.
