A striking difference of opinion

The divergence in opinion between retail and institutional investors could scarcely be greater in the medium term than it is at present: we are seeing very marked differences in equities (US and DAX, Eurozone) and also in the price of gold. For crude oil, there are a string of extreme values that point to a high risk assessment and suggest taking a contrarian stance. Overall, fears of an energy crisis remain the dominant theme shaping market sentiment. As a result of the persistently high levels of pessimism, there are once again a multitude of TD buy signals across a wide range of markets. Furthermore, the bears are showing increased overconfidence regarding US equities.

Further results

  • Gold: Resistance from institutional investors
  • Crude oil: A fourfold increase in risk
  • sentix investor positioning in equities, bonds and others assets

Level of anxiety comparable to Trumps` Liberation Day

The Iran conflict is having a profound impact on investor behaviour: Equity market sentiment is plummeting across the board. Fears of an escalation and an energy crisis are unnerving investors just as much as they were when tariffs were announced following Liberation Day. However, some indicators still appear to have room for improvement (e.g. AAII). In the medium term, investors are banking on TACO: “Trump Always Chickens Out – Trump always backs down!” The strategic bias remains stable, or is even climbing in some areas. The situation regarding bonds remains problematic. Crude oil is overbought, whilst precious metals are becoming more attractive.

Further results

  • Bonds: Rising yields are increasing pressure on risk assets
  • Commodities: Oil is overbought; precious metals offer tactical opportunities
  • sentix Styles – Risk appetite and investor preferences

is fear turning into panic?

The markets are still dominated by hopes of a swift resolution, particularly among professional investors. In the short term, fears regarding equities are high, but in the medium term, oil prices are expected to fall significantly. This should also ease the pressure on bonds. This view could be put to the test in the short term. In the case of silver, we are seeing a sharp drop in underlying confidence. Investors appear unconvinced about both precious metals and the economy in the short term.

Further results

  • Bonds: Basic confidence continues to fall
  • Oil: Further loss of confidence in oil
  • sentix sector sentiment
