Astonishingly little emotion

In terms of news, there has been a lot going on in the markets in recent days. Wobbly banks, huge support measures, at the same time rising key interest rates. The indices on the stock and bond side are whizzing wildly back and forth. Surprisingly, this is causing little emotion among investors. It almost seems as if a natural behavior pattern is being suppressed. In precious metals, the pulse of investors is rising. This is where emotionality comes to the fore.

  • Bonds: Bias constructive, offensive positioning puts the brakes on
  • Silver: There could still be something
  • sentix investor positioning in equities and bonds

Strategic bias jumps

The FED's clear commitment, also underpinned by corresponding monetary actions, to nip the banking crisis in the US in the bud as far as possible, is convincing investors above all from a strategic perspective. The basic strategic confidence in US technology stocks has jumped significantly. This has only happened 8 times before. On average, the Nasdaq was up 6% 8 weeks later.

Further results

  • FX: Surprisingly little movement in EUR-USD
  • Gold: Overheated sentiment

U.S. equities wobble violently

It often takes a trigger to shake the weak underlying structure of the market. With the bank runs in California, there is now movement. Investors do not recognize a buying opportunity in the price decline, but lower their thumbs: The strategic bias for the S&P 500 falls to a 26-week low! In parallel, bonds can profit. The buy signals from the sentiment came at the right time. A liberation blow could have succeeded.

Further results:

  • Bonds: Contrary buy signals at the right time
  • Silver: Striking bias reaction
  • sentix sector sentiment

Headwinds increase again

Print

After several months of improvement in investors' assessments of the economic situation and expectations, there is a new headwind for economic development at the beginning of March. In the Eurozone, the economic situation scores improved again, for the fifth time in a row. However, the economic expectations show that we are by no means at the beginning of an upswing. Eurozone economic expectations dropped sharply to -13 points. The situation is similar in the other regions of the world. The expectation values are characterised by clear de-clines across the board.

Compendium and data package expanded

Print

The sentix Compendium has been expanded to include entries on the indicator groups Policy Barometer, Risk Aversion Indices and Risk Levels. The explanations are available in German and English.

For some time now, we have been collecting weekly data on risk levels. These are published monthly under SNTZRLxx. This is the data from the survey of the third week of a month. Data customers who obtain the data via our website can use the tickers of the RISK family. Here, all data points requested are collected in a weekly frequency. There is no data publication in the fourth week of a month, as in this week the sentix positioning information allows a detailed look at the portfolio positioning and risks.

The tickers of the RISK family are:

  • RISKRLI0
  • RISKRLP0

The data is now included free of charge in all data subscriptions of the SNPB data package. The tickers are activated automatically.
