The consolidation in EUR/USD could soon be over. EUR/JPY is attracting attention with an increased overconfidence risk.

High Overconfidence in UK

Investors are showing great interest in small and medium-sized companies in Germany. The ongoing economic recovery is progressing dynamically (see sentix economic indices from July), so that investors are sensing catch-up potential in this segment in particular. The bias can increase here, while the blue chip indices are more likely to go into reverse. The first signs of overconfidence can be seen in the UK. Risks are also increasing on the Nasdaq. The set-up for gold, on the other hand, remains constructive. The crypto market is showing signs of euphoria.

• Equities: The MDAX is back in fashion
• Bonds: Weak
• Precious metals: Gold remains interesting

Bais goes straight up, neutrality too

The calm on the stock market is by no means transferable to current investor behaviour. Investors are highly irritated: The Super Neutrality Index for European equities remains at a challenging level and is incubating a volatility impulse. This could unload over the summer months. Investors are looking through potential summer weakness and the medium-term bias for equities is firmly to the upside. Can bonds/rising oil prices shake this confidence? What role does the US dollar play in this?

Further results:

• Bonds: Rising oil prices could be a burden
• Precious metals: Consolidation is coming to an end
