Investors upbeat on Equities; but uncertain on Oil

The latest sentix survey revealed a sharp pick-up in near-term optimism on equities, alongside a continued positive view on the outlook for global equities from a medium-term strategic perspective. In the case of the eurozone, this comes at a time when survey readings based on participants’ medium-term strategic bias on Bunds are becoming more negative. In short, those investors polled favour eurozone equities in absolute terms and versus bonds in the medium-term. In commodities, while sentiment on Oil is relatively neutral, the survey points to heightened near-term uncertainty on Crude ahead of this week’s OPEC meeting. This suggests increased volatility is possible as news filters out of the meeting in Algiers.
