US Dollar optimism extreme versus Euro

The latest sentix Economic Indices, released today, revealed a further increase in the eurozone Economic Index (gaining 3.4 points to +15.1). This more upbeat assessment of the eurozone macro outlook is also colouring investors’ views of bonds. Monthly survey readings based on investors’ views on the macro outlook as a bond ‘theme’ indicate that economics is seen as having become less ‘bond bullish’ on a six month view (Chart 3, page 2). However, on other side of the Atlantic, the slide in sentiment towards US Bonds has been even more marked, with survey readings heading to the lower end of their 2012-15 range. At the same time, US rate rise expectations are bolstering dollar sentiment, with readings on EUR/USD having fallen to historic lows in the latest survey. US bond and currency sentiment has seen some especially sizeable moves recently (Charts 3 and 4).

Rohstoffmärkte in der Positionierungsfalle

In den letzten Wochen bekundeten die Anleger eine steigende Zuversicht gegenüber den Rohstoffmärkten. Sowohl der Strategische Bias zu Öl und Gold, als auch das sentix Assetklassen-Sentiment stiegen deutlich. In der Folge war auch eine Portfolioanpassung zu beobachten. Gemessen an der Positionierung der „large speculators“ im COT-Report ist ein signifikanter Anstieg der Investitionsgrade feststellbar. Diese Entwicklung dürfte sich kurzfristig als Bürde erweisen.
