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!

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.

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!

Doubts about the value of Bitcoin & Co are increasing
Despite the fierce rally of Bitcoin & Co, the loss of confidence in crypto currencies is continuing rapidly. Already since May this year, investor sentiment has fallen steadily, pointing to obvious investors' concerns. The most recent development shows that the value of the "assets" cryptocurrency is clearly disputed among investors. Bitcoin & Co could thus enter a crisis of confidence.
