Bears in short supply

The share price gains have had a significant impact on investor sentiment. Bears in particular have become scarce in the short term. We are measuring the lowest level in the sub-index for US equities since the end of 2019. At the same time, we are hearing a decline in basic strategic confidence in equities. In turn, investors' investment horizon for bonds is lengthening again.

Short-term euphoria

There was a surprisingly positive price reaction for shares last week. This obviously made a big impression on investors and literally euphorised sentiment. This is likely to prove to be a short-term buzzkill, especially as there are now medium-term question marks for investors. These need to be "consolidated".

• Bonds: A leap for joy here too
• Gold: Ongoing consolidation
