Better, but not yet good

The first half of the week caught investors cold and considerably dampened the mood on the stock market. At the same time, there has been an improvement in basic strategic confidence. However, a look at the TD Index, e.g. for the Nasdaq Index, shows that this does not yet give a buy signal.

TD indices head back into the sell zone

The stock markets continued to surprise positively this week. The weak sentiment allowed for tactical recoveries. And indeed, we measure some short covering, which is also reflected in the increased bull ratio. But this was not a strategic liberation blow.

Investors remain stubborn

Investors are turning more and more to interest rate investments. The strategic bias for U.S. Treasuries climbs unwaveringly from week to week. We are currently measuring the highest value in the bias for U.S. longs since September 2006, and even a 20-year high for Bunds. This means that bonds are gradually stealing the show from equities and mutating into a serious competing investment. Precious metals also continue to score. Mining shares are also getting some of this shine.

Further results

• Bonds: Bonds, bonds, bonds - 20-year high in bias
• Goldmines equities: Benefit from the shine of gold
• sentix sector sentiment

Ex-pectations in particular slump to -19.0 points, the lowest level since December 2022. The German economy is also hard hit. The situation scores drop by 6.7 points, while expectations fall to -19.8 points. In the international con-text, the negative signs also dominate. For the US, the decline in expectations is striking. Here, the overall index reaches -17.5 points, the lowest level since November 2022. There is not much left of the laborious economic recovery of 2023.

The Eurozone economy continues to recover at the beginning of April. The major upheavals feared as a result of the gas and electricity price crisis in Europe have failed to materialise this winter. The situation assessment of the 1,300 investors surveyed by sentix reflects this with the sixth consecutive increase in the situation values for the Eurozone. The fact that this is not an all-clear signal becomes clear when looking at the expected values. They remain negative. In Eastern Europe, a friendlier picture is painted, with an increase in both components. For the USA, we measure a deterioration of the situation and expectations, contrary to the trend. This should not go unnoticed!
