Basic confidence in precious metals returns

The negative sentiment in equities was followed by a clearly positive price reaction last week. The bears then moved back into the neutral camp. Strategically, the reservations remain. Not so with precious metals. In the case of gold and silver, the basic strategic confidence may improve. The sentix data also signal further support for bonds.

Further results

• Equities: Neutrality rises again
• Bonds: TD index remains positive

Sentiment slumps

That was quickly! After the institutional investors expressed massive strategic concerns about the previous week, the stock market is now sliding. This has the consequence that the stock sentiment collapses significantly. The sentix indicators are already reacting, the other indicators (e.g. AAII) still have some way to go. A new medium-term perspective does not arise from the price decline. On the other hand, investor irritation remains high, which is likely to cause vola to rise further in the coming weeks.

• Bonds: Bottoming out progresses
• Gold: Good reasons for an investment
• sentix investor positioning in equities and bonds

Institutionals have particularly strong concerns

The different interest rate policy of the Bank of Japan compared with the other major central banks is fueling speculation on the currency side via the interest rate differentials. The yen continues to lose value, and investors are positioning themselves for a trend continuation. However, the medium-term strategic bias is taking a different path. These days, it is the medium-term outlook that particularly concerns investors in equities, bonds and currencies. In most cases, the bias clearly decouples from market movements and points in the opposite direction. This has consequences.

High short-term irritation

The price development of shares is increasingly puzzling investors. The consequence: instead of a good mood, we measure an increasing irritation via the Neutrality Index. As a rule, this subsequently leads to increased market volatility.

Further results

• Bonds: TD-Index in the buy zone
• FX: Rare pound signals

Germany's economy not a summer fairy tale

Written by Manfred Hübner | 05 June 2023
Posted in sentix Economic News

The German economy is currently experiencing a downright crash. Instead of a spring revival, the recessionary forces are coming back with a vengeance. Above all, the situation indicators are plummeting, signalling that the downward forces are currently very present. This is also being felt by the rest of the eurozone. With the largest economy on such a difficult path, it should come as no surprise that investors are increasingly bearish on the rest of the eurozone. The June overall index for the Eurozone economy drops again to -17 points. Internationally, only Japan is showing a positive sign with an increase in the overall index against the general trend.
