Surprisingly low investor sentiment in equities

Financial markets remain unsettled by developments in the Middle East. As already seen in late March, oil sentiment is very bullish, while professional investors in particular do not believe in persistently high oil prices. We are measuring a comparable sentiment picture in equities as well. Short-term uncertainty? Yes. A medium-term problem? No. And because investors tend to follow sentiment in their positioning behaviour, the positives currently prevail despite seasonality.

Equities: A dip in sentiment and TD buy signals

The stock market is taking a breather, and fear is quickly setting in. However, as underlying confidence in the medium term remains virtually unchanged, a whole series of TD buy signals are emerging for a wide range of stock markets. Conversely, it is ‘crude oil’ that is sending out a new sell signal following its recent rise. As for precious metals, the positive indications are growing stronger.

Crude oil: Risk Radar highlights opportunities

From a high-risk situation to a position of opportunity: crude oil has swung between both extremes over the last three months. Crude oil prices have eagerly seized upon the latest opportunity highlighted by the risk radar (which had signalled opportunities). With the latest escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, a suitable trigger was quickly found. This has direct implications for bonds. Nevertheless, investors are radiating confidence in equities. This confidence is even stronger when it comes to precious metals.

A resurgence of confidence and impulsive emotional reaction

Confidence is growing in the bond market. Falling crude oil prices are easing the pressure on inflation figures and fuelling medium-term price potential for fixed-income securities. This is also benefiting the equity bias, although the rise in the US is coming against a backdrop of already high OCI figures. The situation is different in Germany and the eurozone. There is also a favourable setup for precious metals. Here, there are several buy signals emerging simultaneously.

Further results

• Bonds: Signs of easing

Germany is following suit

The sentix Economic Sentiment Index is sending out a positive signal in July: the economic outlook for the euro-zone is brightening noticeably, underpinned by a marked improvement in expectations and growing investor confidence. Germany, in particular, is providing a boost, as the latest political measures appear to be building confidence and noticeably lifting sentiment. A broad-based upturn is also evident globally: all economic regions are growing, whilst the Eurozone and Germany – previously sources of pressure – are now also contributing to the recovery. This further reinforces the signs of a dynamic global economic recovery.
