BofA sees European industrials recovery 'delayed rather than derailed'
** BofA Global Research expects the short-cycle recovery in the European industrials sector to be delayed by higher energy prices and supply chain fragility tied to the war in Iran ** The broker expects Q2 industrial production to decelerate and capex decisions to be delayed ** BofA downgrades Swedish bearings maker SKF SKFb.ST to "underperform" from "buy", citing its high sensitivity to industrial production and auto exposure alongside potential margin impacts from higher steel prices ** The brokerage upgrades German braking systems maker Knorr-Bremse KBX.DE to "buy" from "neutral" noting the resilience of its rail business in the current market environment
