Macro and dollar concerns boost Bonds, Gold and EUR/USD

The latest sentix Economic survey underlines the degree to which participants have become downbeat on the global economic outlook, as momentum in Germany and the US has faltered. The eurozone overall index fell over 3 points to +6.0 in February, while the US index declined to its lowest level since October 2012 (at +3.7). Such macro caution is casting a long shadow across investors’ views on the medium-term outlook for markets. For one thing, heightened uncertainty over the global macro outlook is an increasingly positive theme for bonds. For another, recent dollar weakness chimes with an increasingly positive medium-term strategic bias on Gold, alongside an ever-more upbeat bias on EUR/USD. See Page 2 for charts.

Paukenschlag der Bank of Japan

Vor zwei Wochen wagten wir einen Ausblick auf die nachfolgenden Notenbanksitzungen. Während es bei EZB und Fed relativ klar war, dass wenig Substantielles geliefert werden würde, war für uns die Bank of Japan eine Blackbox. Tatsächlich war es die BoJ, die am Freitag die Marktteilnehmer mit einem Maßnahmenpaket überraschte. Dieses Paket, seine Wirkung auf die Anleger und Märkte betrachten wir in unserer aktuellen Investmentmeinung.

Geänderte Einschätzung: US-Bonds

Festive hangover yet to lift from Equity sentiment

It has been a chastening start to 2016 for risk assets, with the European and US equity markets ending the month down 7% despite a firmer showing last week. The latest sentix survey suggests the recent bounce in oversold equity markets has done little to lift investors’ spirits. The level of survey participants’ over-investment in equities has fallen below longer-term average levels. Perhaps more worryingly, the survey also suggests investors are becoming ever-more downbeat on the mediumterm strategic outlook for equities (see Charts 2 & 3, P2). Deep pessimism remains the dominant theme on equities, while on the other side of the sentiment divide investors are becoming more upbeat on the strategic outlook for bonds (P4).

Parallelen von 2008 und 2016

Menschen machen Märkte – eigentlich eine einfache Sache. Doch was treibt Menschen an? Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass es drei Grundmotive sind: Das Wissen (Ratio), die Stimmungen (Emotion) und die Handlungen (Aktion) der Anleger. Für eine treffsichere Marktanalyse ist dabei unerheblich, was genau – im „fundamentalen“ Sinne – die Wahrnehmungen und Stimmungen der Anleger beeinflusst hat. Wenn bestimmte Konstellationen bei Stimmungen oder Handlungen zu beobachten sind, sind voraussehbar wiederkehrende Handlungsmuster der Anleger wahrscheinlich und damit Vorhersagen über künftige Marktentwicklungen möglich!

Beacons amidst the prevailing gloom on Commodities and EM

While near-term sentiment towards global equity indices is running at modestly positive levels, the latest sentix survey suggests investors remain deeply cautious on developed and emerging markets from a medium-term strategic perspective. In the case of emerging markets, the latest survey provides a couple of bright spots amidst the prevailing gloom. For one thing, investors have become a little less downbeat on Chinese equities from a medium-term strategic perspective, albeit survey readings remain close to historic lows. For another, survey readings suggest investors have become less pessimistic on commodities as an asset class, against a backdrop of less extreme near-term pessimism on Crude Oil. A sustained improvement in commodity sentiment would be good news for EM Equities, given that sentiment on both asset classes remains closely linked (see Charts 2-4, page 2).
