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

Volatility signal parallel to the outbreak of war

The stock market is faltering and is now facing a particularly tough test with the outbreak of war in Iran. The shift away from US equities continues unabated and is meeting with a setup in the sentix data that promises a surge in volatility. The Super Neutrality Index is rising to a multi-year high. At the same time, equity investors are seeking refuge in Europe. Will this work out? In this environment, the oil market is likely to cause price volatility.

Mixed data in equities

We are currently seeing conflicting signals on the stock market. Fundamental confidence in the DAX is rising significantly, especially among professionals. Despite a high OCI value, this points to opportunities in the spring. In contrast, investor irritation with US equities is rising significantly. At least in the short term, the risks are growing here. Impressive data is also available for EUR-USD, EUR-CHF, gold mines and crude oil.

Further results

  • Crude oil: Bullish sentiment in the short term
