2008 as a template

One of the weakest developments in the sentix data set is the bias for Chinese equities. This falls significantly compared to the rest of the equity markets and has given up 22 percentage points in the last four weeks alone. This indicates an increasing willingness to sell. Investors are also sensing trouble with Bitcoins. All in all, many things follow a certain pattern, especially if you compare today with 2008.

• Bitcoins: Risk off mode
• Volatility: Calm before the storm

Weather forecast announces hot autumn

Investor behavior remains tense, and the ratio of medium-term confidence to short-term sentiment is extremely unfavorable. This is reflected in the time differential index for the Euro Stoxx 50 (chart), which is at a high level with a balance of +12 percentage points. Consequently, there is a risk that a hot fall on the stock markets will seamlessly follow the climatically hot summer.

Fruther results

• EUR/USD: Development against the Euro
• Silver: Still too high overconfidence of the bears
• sentix sector sentiment
