UBS Says CTAs Dumped 75% of Equities, Sees Sage AI Pricing Power and Reworks High-Yield Desk
UBS said commodity trading advisers have cut 75% of global equity exposure since the Middle East conflict began, leaving them nearly neutral on stocks. The bank reiterated a “buy” rating on Sage, citing AI-driven pricing power, and set a 1,025 pence target. Sage shares traded at 842.4 pence Tuesday. UBS is also restructuring its European high-yield trading desk, according to a separate report.
