Broken China sentiment

The latest sentix survey underlines the degree to which investors have lost faith in the Chinese equity market after recent sharp index reversals. Sentiment readings remain in a downward spiral and are now at historic lows. At the same time, survey participants are becoming ever-more downbeat on the market in terms of their medium-term strategic bias (see Charts 2 & 3, page 2). This latter development may be constraint for any rally in the market from its deep pessimism condition. We noted last week that widespread pessimism on Emerging Equity Markets as an asset class chimes with negative sentiment on Commodities.
