Trump disturbs - and benefits
Anyone who thought that after the Italian parliamentary elections there would be calm on the political front is mistaken. Elections and the euro crisis have indeed faded into the background for investors, even though it is far from easy to form a government in Italy. Instead, the fire head on the other side of the Atlantic is making headlines again and is unsettled with protectionist slogans. For Trump himself, however, this seems to be paying off.

Institutional investors without clear equity positioning
Professional investors are paid to outperform by clearly positioning themselves against their benchmark. However, many institutional investors are currently retreating to their benchmarks in the "neutral corner". This is an unusual development and cause of a great disorientation - in the short and medium term.

A single repetition
In December last year, we published an unusual data constellation at this point. While the sentix overconfidence in-dex for equities showed an upper extreme, indicating increased risk exposure, the counterpart for US bonds was at a low. The difference between the two observations produced an extreme signal, which had only been reached once before - on the eve of the financial crisis. Now, in February 2018, another such extreme signal is emerging. A unique repetition!

sentix policy barometer: Stress increases
In February 2018, according to the investors surveyed by sentix, the pressure on the financial markets from policy-makers will noticeably increase again. The sentix policy barometer drops from -0.1 to -0.34 points. The main reasons for this are the tugging around the "brexit", but also the forthcoming elections in Italy.

Risk appetite for equities reaches all-time high
Investors are showing an unprecedented level of risk in their equity exposures. An indicator of this is rather the preferred investment themes and styles than the total equity exposure. Especially stocks in the emerging markets are very popular with investors. Furthermore, investors increasingly see IPOs as a promising investment opportunity. In addition, investors are more and more pro-cyclical.

Historical signals - Financial crisis greets!
In summer 2007, the world of investors was still in order. Equities should rise, interest rates should also rise - and problems such as the looming subprime crisis are best ignored. This recipe for success proved to be a capital failure. Are investors currently making another historic mistake? The danger that show the sentix overconfidence indices, exists at least.

Very good sentiment on the stock market
How much the world can change for investors within two months! In the middle of August, we had still measured panic among the investors. Two months later, the mood has changed completely. Now there is almost a euphoric sentiment. In August, the (still unresolved) North Korean conflict was in the center of consideration, now it is the prospect of a further expansive monetary policy and the robust economy that the investor is concerned with.

sentix policy barometer: After the election comes the discomfort
Prior to the election, investors were still deeply relaxed. What should happen at the Bundestag elections, when the re-election of Chancellor Merkel seemed a safe bet. Now Germany is politically blocked by difficult coalition negotiations in the short term. And the next elections, which are seen more critically, are coming closer now!
