Contagion risk for other countries increases
After the Brexit shock and the obvious increase end of June the sentix EBI (Euro Break-up Index) calms down by the end of the month July 2016. The decline of 6.8 points to 20.3 points should not hide the fact that the value is still higher than before the Brexit referendum. The obvious calm in the capital markets does not seem to mean, the risk for a break-up of the euro zone has sustainably given away. In the background the risk of contagion rather increases. Several countries like Finland or Italy reach new annual highs in the country-EBI-indices.

Brexit – An analysis in three acts
- Act 1 (prelude): investors have long neglected the potential perils of a Brexit. As a logical consequence, fear mounted in the run-up to the referendum. The assassination of the British politician Joe Cox, however, ignited peoples status quo bias again. Until election eve, investors remained in denial. Therefore, the market was completely unprepared.
- Act 2 (Brexit): the victory of the leave campaign caused investors to enter the behavioural stage of recognition abruptly. Over the next days, sentiment and uniform behavioural pattern dominate markets. Although, these behavioural traits will not leave a lasting impact.
- Act 3 (outlook): while irrational exuberances should fade away over the coming days/weeks, the outcome of the Brexit referendum reveals structural interruptions for global markets. Such interruptions often built the basis for new, lasting market trends. It just depends on differentiation, in our opinion, the euro, US equities and German Bunds are to watch.

“Brexit” polls heavily influence investors’ opinion on European equities. The latest surge in popularity of the “leave” camp accompanied by falling stock prices dampens the mood. Market participants should brace for further falling stock prices as the referendum approaches. Investors’ sentiment has yet to reach negative extreme value.
