Seitdem Mario Draghi die EZB auf ein umfassendes „Quantitative Easing“ eingeschworen hat, profitieren die europäischen Aktienmärkte von einem massiven Vertrauenskapital. Dieses ist deutlich größer als für andere Aktienmärkte und hat zu einer Outperformance der Euro-Aktienmärkte gegenüber ihren US-Pendants beitragen. Und dieser Trend ist noch nicht zu Ende!

Despite the increasing confusion surrounding the fate of Greece the composite index for the euro zone rises in July. While investors’ 6-month expectations remain about stable, their assessments of the current situation improve significantly. This constellation signals that market participants already behave as if the euro area was in a boom! In addition, the strong rise of the US index stands out. At the same time, though, the picture for the emerging-markets regions gets ever cloudier which, all in all, points to a world economy losing further steam.

Heightened uncertainty on Equities in near-term

The latest Sentix survey throws up a couple of interesting angles on Eurozone equities and bonds. In the case of equities, elevated Neutrality readings point to a high degree of underlying uncertainty on the near-term outlook for equity indices such as the EuroSTOXX, even though sentiment readings are modestly positive (see Charts 5-7, page 3). This suggests there is potential for increased volatility in the coming weeks. In the case of bonds, investors are less upbeat than they were earlier in the year, from both a near-term and medium-term strategic perspective. However, sentiment has begun to revive in recent weeks. Monthly survey questions focussed on investors views on the economic outlook suggest this recent revival has reflected a growing belief that the macro backdrop has become less bond-bearish on a six month view (see Chart 3, page 2). Macro continues to matter for bonds.

Since early May, oil prices have come under pressure again. Meanwhile, the lows from the beginning of the year have been reached again. This has not only pushed the sentiment to a bearish extreme but now also means that investors tend to extrapolate the negative trend. The sentix Overconfidence Index indicates this. This could support the oil prices in the short term.

Contrarian-Signale an den Rohstoffmärkten

Die Rohstoffmärkte stehen gewaltig unter Druck. Während Gold und Silber bereits ihre bisherigen Jahrestiefs unterschritten haben, notiert das Rohöl derzeit genau wieder auf den Tiefständen von Januar dieses Jahres. Parallel dazu hat sich die Stimmung massiv eingetrübt und inzwischen pessimistische Extremwerte erreicht. Das alleine reicht als Contrarian-Signal jedoch nur dann aus, wenn sich gleichzeitig eine Wertwahrnehmung einstellt. Mit Blick auf die sentix-Headline-Indizes für den Strategischen Bias von Gold und Öl kommt da noch keine Hoffnung auf. Interessant wird ein Blick in die Details.
