Beacons amidst the prevailing gloom on Commodities and EM

While near-term sentiment towards global equity indices is running at modestly positive levels, the latest sentix survey suggests investors remain deeply cautious on developed and emerging markets from a medium-term strategic perspective. In the case of emerging markets, the latest survey provides a couple of bright spots amidst the prevailing gloom. For one thing, investors have become a little less downbeat on Chinese equities from a medium-term strategic perspective, albeit survey readings remain close to historic lows. For another, survey readings suggest investors have become less pessimistic on commodities as an asset class, against a backdrop of less extreme near-term pessimism on Crude Oil. A sustained improvement in commodity sentiment would be good news for EM Equities, given that sentiment on both asset classes remains closely linked (see Charts 2-4, page 2).

Spannung an der Währungsfront

Die starken Kursverluste bei Aktien seit Jahresbeginn führen interessanterweise noch nicht zu wirklich Angstgefühlen bei den Anlegern. Das sentix Sentiment ist zwar moderat bearish, aber von Panik oder gar Aufgabestimmung kann derzeit nicht die Rede sein. Es scheint so, als hoffen viele Anleger nach wie vor auf die rettende Hand der Notenbanken.

Investors defensive bias in Sectors and FX

The latest sentix survey underlines the heightened caution that is colouring investors’ views on markets. While survey readings based on investors’ mediumterm strategic bias have a stopped falling, they remain well down on 2015 highs. At the same time, monthly survey questions on sector preferences reveal a notable deterioration in sentiment towards Financials and a broad range of Cyclicals (spanning Resources to Industrials), set against growing optimism on Defensives such as Healthcare and Food & Beverage. This chimes with FX sentiment developments. Investors have become increasingly biased towards further Yen strength versus the dollar. In short, survey participants are on the defensive both in terms of Equity and FX markets (see Page 2).

Kurzfristig überzogen, aber nicht vorbei

Bei der aktuellen Börsenkorrektur handelt es sich um mehr, als nur einen Betriebsunfall zum Jahresstart. Nachdem der Strategische Bias bereits seit Wochen fällt und die Anfälligkeit der Aktienmärkte unterstrich, wird beim Blick auf den sentix Konjunkturindex auch klar, wo das Problem liegt. Es ist eben nicht nur „die Technik“. Positive Indikationen gibt es dagegen von den Rohstoffmärkten zu vermelden.
