Bonds sentiment bashed; Banks and Healthcare sentiment boosted
The US election result has cast a shadow across the latest sentix survey. At an asset level, pessimism has grown more notable on bonds, with readings on bunds sentiment becoming even more deeply entrenched at the low end of the historic sentiment range (see Chart 8, page 4). In terms of opinions on the US, the gap between investors’ strategic bias on the S&P 500 versus US 10Y Treasuries has also sharply increased. Bond sentiment on both sides of the Atlantic has been a notable casualty from the unexpected US election result. In a European equity context, the big winners have been Banks and Healthcare, where sentiment has markedly improved over the past month relative to the market. See page 2 for charts.
