An astonishing amount of fear

That happened surprisingly quickly: sentiment on the stock market has deteriorated very rapidly – even though the falls in share prices have so far been modest. Whilst we have not yet reached classic ‘sentiment-driven buying’ levels, the prevailing scepticism alone is likely to provide support for the stock market. Things are now set to get interesting for gold and bitcoins too. We are seeing extraordinary developments in the sentix data set in these areas.

• Precious metals: The atmosphere is now buzzing
• Bitcoin: A leap for joy

Gold is captivating investors

Never before in sentix’s history has the underlying medium-term confidence in the yellow precious metal been as high as it is this year. Does this mean the gold price has already reached a dangerous peak of euphoria? We’ll show you two charts that suggest otherwise. The situation regarding shares is slowly becoming significantly riskier. Whilst underlying medium-term confidence continues to rise, the risk assessment is also increasing in parallel.

• Equities: Bias and risk are on the rise
• USD/JPY: OCI warning signal

New all-time highs drive sentiment

On the equity market, sentiment improved abruptly at the start of the new month. A strong price advance to new all-time highs across many markets has shaken investors awake – and driven up sentiment readings. The wave has also caught gold and silver, where we are measuring a sentiment impulse. By contrast, the impulse largely passes Bitcoin by.

• Precious metals: Gold and silver with a sentiment impulse
• Bitcoin: The risk-on move passes Bitcoin by

Position risks in USD-JPY are materialising

While the comeback of chip stocks drew heavy commentary over the course of the week, investors’ strategic underlying confidence in tech equities shows no reaction. The equity move is ageing. For Chinese equities there is an interesting OCI signal. Gold and gold mining stocks, by contrast, enjoy high underlying confidence. In USD-JPY, considerable positioning risks are now coming to a head.

Further results

• Equities: The recovery is ageing
• Equities: China rather than the US
• Gold & gold mining stocks: High investor confidence

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.

Further results

• Crude oil: Will March 2026 repeat itself?
• Gold & silver: Investors appear relaxed
• sentix investor positioning in shares, bonds & other assets
