A shift in the seasonal pattern is drawing nearer

Investors continue to anticipate a restrictive central bank policy and the resulting headwinds for bonds. At the same time, however, conflicting signals on the bond market are becoming more pronounced, particularly as bargain hunters are becoming increasingly active at the current yield levels. For equities, rising interest rates remain a latent burden. These concerns are already reflected in market sentiment. In the medium term, however, investors are trying to look beyond the interest rate headwinds and are hoping for a swift end to the current weak seasonal trend in equities.

The assessment of the global aggregate in the sentix Economic Sentiment Index rose once again in October 2026. This sixth consecutive rise, taking the index to 16.8 points, marks the highest level since February 2022.

The eurozone, by contrast, continues to struggle to achieve an upturn. So far, only stabi-lisation has been achieved in Germany and the eurozone as a whole. This is because expectations have suffered a distinctly noticeable setback. The eurozone composite index has therefore fallen by 2.4 points.
