Buying without conviction

This trend is highly explosive: institutional investors are scrambling to meet their benchmarks in the bond market and buying bonds, even though they demonstrably do not believe in the asset class. The strategic bias is proving extremely weak for both German government bonds and peripheral bonds. Trading in the portfolio contrary to their fundamental convictions could once again come back to haunt investors. On the stock market, the forces of bulls and bears are currently balancing each other out. Emerging volatility is evident in the Japanese yen.

Striking parallels with April 2025

The stock markets have had the difficult week we expected. However, it was not the bulls who were caught out, as we had anticipated, but the bears. They were caught off guard by the S&P 500’s rise to new highs and have largely capitulated. The parallels with April 2025 are clear. Will the bull run now continue unabated?

A difficult week ahead

The markets could be in for a difficult week. And not just because the peace talks in Pakistan have ended without result. But because the data we measured in our latest survey points to short-term problems. It seems that it was only the prospect of peace that made professional investors, in particular, realise that economic headwinds and interest rate rises would not be eliminated even in the event of a ceasefire.

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
