Germany still in crisis

The sentix Economic Indicator for January shows the third consecutive improvement in the overall index for the eurozone. Situation and expectation values both rise by 1 point. And yet this is unlikely to be a turnaround. This is partly due to Germany, whose economy is still in recession and therefore in crisis. Internationally, there is positive news from Asia and Latin America. However, it is questionable whether this will be enough to reverse the global trend. This is because a new problem is on the horizon with regard to inflation and therefore central bank policy.

Superficially bullish data

At the turn of the year, investment professionals took a record-breaking neutral stance. This has strategic implications.
The price weakness on the stock markets at the start of the year also triggered initial reactions. Fears quickly arose and portfolio risks were adjusted in the portfolios as a first step. At the same time, the bias increases again. Old buying reflexes are being revived. Despite the stabilization tendencies indicated by sentiment, strategic reservations remain at the end of the day.

The bias decline continues

The starting position for equities remains unfavorable from the perspective of investor behavior. The overheated sentiment is only slowly receding, while the strategic bias continues to decline. As a result, there is little change in the balance of both forecast instruments: the TD Index remains in the sell zone. This applies to European equities as well as the US equity market. At the same time, the willingness to take profits on bonds continues to increase. This is particularly noticeable in the institutional camp.

• Bonds: Profit-taking willingness increases
