Politics reach their aim – EBI continues its fall

In May, the sentix Euro Break-up Index (EBI) falls from 9.8% to 9.0%. This again marks a new low in the history of the now two-year old indicator.

This month two developments are outstanding: Firstly, the national EBI for Italy now stands at 1.5% and thus, for the first time since the beginning of the year, clearly below the 2% threshold. Investors' nervousness surrounding Italy's government change in February has now faded a little. Secondly, the German index climbs from 1.0% to 1.7%. The European elections and the discussion about the euro-skeptic German party AfD have made investors once more aware of the fact that there is still a non-negligible number of euro-critics in Germany. This development now makes the German EBI the third highest behind the ones for Greece (6.7% after 7.1%) and for Cyprus (3.7% after 4.1%).

Medium-term sentiment readings on EUR/USD are running at historic extremes (Chart 3, page 2), while pessimism on the near-term prospects for Euro versus USD is also becoming relatively extended in a historic context (Chart 4). In short, Sentix survey participants remain deeply pessimistic on the Euro versus USD in both the near and medium-term.

Investors extremely pessimistic again for banks

The euphoric mood for bank stocks observed at the beginning of the year has completely disappeared this month. In May, sentix Sector Sentiment falls for banks more strongly than for any other sector. Only for utilities investors are similarly pessimistic at the moment. The recent performance of bank shares does not explain such a weak sentiment, though. This is why there is now a chance for these stocks to recover.
