Neutral mood

The behaviour of speculative small investors is currently the subject of much debate. This can be seen in the very low values in the US equity put/call ratio. However, in our opinion this indicator is not representative of the actual sentiment. According to our sentiment, a certain skepticism continues to dominate overall. However, individual sub-segments, especially in the technology sector, are rightly subject to criticism, as a glance at our strategic bias in the analysis reveals.

Nasdaq records without euphoria

It remains astonishing how strongly sentiment and the put-call ratio diverge. The chronically negative sentiment is supporting the S&P500, while small investors in particular on platforms such as "Robin-Hood" are stirring up the options markets. All-time highs on the Nasdaq do not create a jubilant mood! Only when pessimism falls should the market have reached its top. In addition, a seasonally strong equity window will open again in the short term.

Third consecutive increase

The sentix economic indices for the euro zone and many other regions improved in July for the third time in a row. The Euroland overall index rose by 6.6 points to -18.2 points. The biggest leap forward was made by the values for Switzerland. Here the overall index rises from -14.4 points to -1.6 points! Nevertheless, too much optimism seems out of place. On the one hand, expectations are falling slightly in almost all regions. On the other hand, investors continue to assume that the economic slump caused by the Corona crisis will not be offset within a year!

Unfavourable development

"Moods up, bias down." This reaction in investor behaviour is basically an unfavourable development for equities. Nevertheless, the stock market could once again venture a (short-term) upward attack. This is because seasonality has opened another positive window of opportunity. This week, the stock markets in China and the gold and silver mine complex are conspicuous. In addition, there is a rare constellation in Bitcoins.

Relaxation is the order of the day

Posted in sentix Euro Break-up Index News

The excitement of some investors about the stability of the Eurozone, which was visible in EBI index values in recent months due to the Corona crisis and the ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court on ECB policy, has subsided again. The Euro Break-up Index fell significantly to 7.7% in June.
