BlackRock is an American multinational investment company that has its headquarters in New York. It is the world’s largest asset manager with around $10 trillion in assets. So, with the US hiking interest rates is this a good time to enter into a seasonal BlackRock buy for Q4? Financial stock can gain as interest rates rise and profitability can increase for financial products, and BlackRock's seasonal gains are strong.
BlackRock stock has enjoyed some significant gains between October 01 and December 31. In the last 22 years, BlackRock has moved higher 19 times and only lost value three times.
Major trade risks: The major risk here is if there is a sharper slowdown in the US economy and the Fed engineers a ‘hard landing’ which can result in another leg lower for stocks.

Gold price loses momentum, with Fed speakers in focus
Gold price trades with a bearish bias on Friday after retreating from the nearly $2,400 barrier. The bullish move of precious metals in the previous sessions was bolstered by the softer-than-expected US inflation data in April, which triggered hope for rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve.
LINK price jumps 10% as Chainlink races toward tokenization of funds
Chainlink price has remained range-bound for a while, stuck between the $16.00 roadblock to the upside and $13.08 to the downside. However, in light of recent revelations, the token may have further upside potential.
April CPI: Worst good news ever
The monthly rise in prices based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in slightly lower than projected, sending a wave of euphoria across the financial landscape. The consensus is cooling inflation puts Federal Reserve interest rate cuts back on the table.
