Investors are looking through Greece
49.5% of investors currently expect a “Grexit” to happen within the next twelve months. This is shown by a new survey conducted by sentix over the weekend. At the same time the basic conviction for European stocks rises strongly. Consequently, investors anticipate a “happy end” of the Greek drama. A resumption of the bull market is thus near.

Extremely bad sentiment for European utility shares
sentix Sector Sentiment for utilities falls to a sector-specific all-time low. Only once before since 2002 was the mood for a sector worse among investors. But in relation to the whole market European utility stocks’ performance has stabilized since March. All in all, the signals point to a renewed contrarian opportunity.

Lowest sentiment for the Bund future since March 2012
sentix Sentiment for the Bund future falls to its lowest level since March 2012 when the Greek debt was restructured. In the past such a bad sentiment among investors subsequently has led to a rise in the Bund future. This time, too, we interpret the extreme reading as a contrarian signal!

Some calm before the showdown
In May, the sentix Euro Break-up Index recedes from 49.0% to 41.2%. Investors obviously take – despite Greece’s still unclear future – comments of the Hellenic government serious that the country wants to keep the common currency. And a default on its debt could still be an option while staying in the euro! At the same time, investors rate dangers of contagion emanating from a possible euro-exit of a country as fading.

Sentiment impulse for gold!
As the latest sentix Global Investor Survey shows sentiment is clearly brightening for gold. At the same time, investors’ basic conviction for the yellow metal increases. Consequently, the improvement in sentiment is a kick-start signal for the market. This, in turn, points to rising gold prices in the coming months.

Euro with a Greek breather
Investors’ basic confidence in the euro erodes. This is signaled by a falling sentix Strategic Bias for the EUR-USD currency pair. Consequently, a period of US-dollar strength is set to lie ahead. But longer term the common currency should be on the rise again.

Bond investors forced into ultra-long maturities
As yields approach the zero line for 10-year bunds investors are looking for ever longer maturities. This is the bottom-line from last weekend’s sentix survey on investors’ duration preferences. Their bias for German government bonds with a maturity of more than ten years is currently as strong as never before.

Draghi put to the test: one out of two investors expects a “Grexit”
In April, the sentix Euro Break-up Index jumps to 49.0% from a previous 36.8%. Thus, European politicians’ promises to pursue the scenario of Greece keeping the euro are not taken at face value by about the half of all investors. In 2012 Mario Draghi calmed down investors with his ultimate commitment to the euro. But is his pledge still valid for Greece today?
