Bank of America favors mid-cap stocks like PBF Energy and Par Pacific Holdings
What happened
Bank of America strategists favor mid-cap equities because they possess lower rate risk compared to small-cap stocks. High 10-year Treasury yields increase vulnerability for small caps due to higher leverage and refinancing risks. PBF Energy and Par Pacific Holdings are listed among the top-ranked U.S. mid-caps.

Why it matters
The preference for mid-caps is driven by their reduced exposure to interest rate volatility compared to small caps. Small caps face increased vulnerability in high-rate environments because of greater corporate leverage and refinancing risks.
