BlackRock abandons 60/40 portfolio, shifts to commodities targeting 300-400% returns amid bond market breakdown.

BlackRock is moving away from the traditional 60/40 stock-bond portfolio due to simultaneous declines in both asset classes caused by inflation and geopolitical shocks. The firm is pivoting to a 'Plan B' strategy focusing on commodities like copper, gold miners, uranium, and energy producers, which historically have yielded 300-400% returns during similar market rotations. This shift is driven by rising bond yields and energy supply disruptions, signaling a major structural change in asset allocation to capture real economic strength.
