Investors are starting the new year 2026 with optimism. The sentix economic index shows an improvement in sentiment in almost all regions of the world covered. While the eurozone, and Germany in particular, continue to struggle with structural challenges but are showing signs of bottoming out, the US and, in particular, the Asia re-gion are providing new impetus for growth.

Few bears, much irritation in equity markets

Despite the encouraging performance of international stock markets, investors remain largely unmoved. Although there are currently few pessimists in the market, new optimists are few and far between. Irritation is growing, as clearly demonstrated by the still comparatively weak underlying confidence. A week after the coup in Venezuela, disillusionment is spreading in the crude oil market.

• Crude oil: Blow to the bulls
• EUR-USD: Neutral sentiment

Fundamental confidence in equities remains weak

The current mood is reminiscent of the turn of the year 2024/2025. Back then, too, there were few bears in the market, and the trend was rising. This was followed by a weak start to the year. The current weakness in strategic confidence is similar. In contrast, investors are bullish on oil in the medium term – even before the US intervention in Venezuela. The overheated silver euphoria is cooling down in a constructive manner.

• Crude oil: The new investor favourite?
• Silver: Euphoria subsides

Neutral sentiment, weak underlying confidence

As the year draws to a close, sentiment on the stock market continues to neutralise. However, investors' weak underlying confidence remains striking, which does not exactly bode well for a stock market upturn. Medium-term scepticism also dominates the bond market. We are also measuring significant movements in strategic underlying confidence in USD-JPY and silver.

Further results

• USD-JPY: Sharp decline in strategic bias
• Silver: Profit-taking likely
• sentix Styles – Risk appetite and investor preferences
