Various coronavirus vaccines are vying for regulatory authorization. That led Credit Suisse to "de-emphasize the near-term" and focus on how the US economy would launch out of its virus slump. The team said "the virus will be a fading memory" in 2022 and the rotation to cyclical stocks will be "largely behind us."
