Investors in the oil market view the downtrend to continue
Since early May, oil prices have come under pressure again. Meanwhile, the lows from the beginning of the year have been reached again. This has not only pushed the sentiment to a bearish extreme but now also means that investors tend to extrapolate the negative trend. The sentix Overconfidence Index indicates this. This could support the oil prices in the short term.

Sentiment for gold at low point
sentix Sentiment for gold falls to a new all-time low. Never before since the start of the survey in 2006 was the mood among investors thus as bad as at the moment. In the past, such extreme situations were precursors of price reversals at the bottom. But we may have to wait still some time before such a reversal occurs.

Investors’ basic conviction for gold is fading. This is mirrored by the sentix Strategic Bias for the yellow metal which continues to fall although the Greek crisis and a favourable seasonal pattern should lend support. Rather do investors expect US yields to rise, though, and, at the same time, they lose their inflation fantasies. Both goes against higher gold prices.
