Heightened uncertainty on Equities in near-term

The latest Sentix survey throws up a couple of interesting angles on Eurozone equities and bonds. In the case of equities, elevated Neutrality readings point to a high degree of underlying uncertainty on the near-term outlook for equity indices such as the EuroSTOXX, even though sentiment readings are modestly positive (see Charts 5-7, page 3). This suggests there is potential for increased volatility in the coming weeks. In the case of bonds, investors are less upbeat than they were earlier in the year, from both a near-term and medium-term strategic perspective. However, sentiment has begun to revive in recent weeks. Monthly survey questions focussed on investors views on the economic outlook suggest this recent revival has reflected a growing belief that the macro backdrop has become less bond-bearish on a six month view (see Chart 3, page 2). Macro continues to matter for bonds.
