Macro uncertainty boosting bond sentiment

The latest sentix Economic Indices, released today, revealed a further decline in both eurozone (EZ) economic expectations and current situation readings, while the EZ overall headline reading fell from 13.6 to 11.7 (its lowest level since January). This more downbeat assessment of the eurozone macro outlook is also colouring investors’ views of bonds. Monthly survey readings based on views on the macro outlook as a bond ‘theme’ indicate that economics is seen as having become more
‘bond bullish’ on a six month view (Chart 3, page 2). This is consistent with the gradual improvement in sentiment towards bunds that has been seen in recent months. The sentix survey continues to indicate that macro matters for bonds.

Die Fed ist in einer „lose-lose-Situation“

Der Strategische Bias für Aktien fällt weiter. Auffällig ist, dass dieser Prozess von den Privatanlegern ange-führt wird. Die Investmentprofis sehen das anders. Für sie ist die Aktienanlage alternativlos – komme da, was wolle! Sind Kursverluste wirklich alternativlos? Dies würde ein Endanleger anders sehen. Das Fatale ist, dass das Argument der Alternativlosigkeit sogar immer stärker wird, je mehr die Kurse fallen...

Equities unloved; but Going for Gold

While the latest sentix survey suggests investors have become a little less pessimistic on the near-term outlook for equity markets, survey readings based on investors’ views on equities from a medium-term strategic perspective continue to weaken. At the same time, monthly questions on positioning revealed that levels of over-investment in equities have fallen below longer-term average levels. A high degree of caution remains the dominant survey theme on global equities. In contrast, investors are warming to Gold, with near-term sentiment and mediumterm strategic bias readings pulling further away from their mid-summer lows. Caution on equities may be bolstering investor sentiment towards Gold (Charts 3-4).

Alibi-Pessimismus

Abermals messen wir in unseren Daten, dass die Anleger Respekt vor den anstehenden 4 Wochen haben (Sentiment bei -25 Prozentpunkten), aber mittelfristig ungebrochen den (europäischen) Aktien die Treue halten (Strategischer Bias bei +28 Prozentpunkte). Daran kann auch eine charttechnisch besorgniserregende Entwicklung zum Wochenausklang nichts ändern: Immerhin lösen nahezu alle Indizes ihre Flaggen-Konsolidierungen, die als Reaktion auf das August-Tief ausgebildet wurden, nach unten auf. Ins gleiche Horn stößt auch der Styles-Index „Anlagehorizont in Aktien“, der einen neuen Rekordstand vermeldet.

Equities really without alternatives in the medium-term?

At first glance investors’ expectations have barely changed. But this means that the inconsistent behavioural pattern remains intact – and continues to sound a note of caution. We particularly dislike that investors – as before – do not allow for the much worse price behaviour and instead prefer to sit out the correction. Positive news come from the gold market where a new basic conviction builds up.
