Mood slump

In the course of the week, the stock markets surprised us with sharp declines. On the part of our data, the weak basic confidence in particular spoke in favour of a certain caution. A clearer signal was provided by US option data. The put-call ratio was at very low levels and clearly showed speculative exaggeration. Adjustments are now being made to both indices. What does the slump in sentix sentiment indices mean?

No cheers for economic stimulus, ECB and price jumps

For almost two years now, there has been a marked discrepancy in EUR/USD between private and institutional investors: Since then, the professionals have been much more positive about the Euro in the medium term. Thus, even at the current edge, they are showing greater basic confidence in EUR/USD, while private investors are only slowly venturing out of cover. The currency trend is having a positive effect on European stocks. But surprisingly, the stock market sentiment remains in the basement.

The signs are pointing to a global economic upturn. This is not too difficult after such a serious standstill of the real economy as we experienced in April. This is why the sentix economic indices also show a mixed picture. On the positive side, expectations are rising sharply. The economy is waking up from its deep sleep. But the road to normality is long. The situation values are still deep red and thus continue to indicate a recessionary environ-ment. The question now is how strong and how far the global economy can recover. We will shed light on this in the following analysis.

Lack of confidence

Sentiment for US equities has further neutralized and now marks the highest level since mid-February 2020 (market high in the S&P 500). One of the minimum conditions for an end to the recovery movement has thus been met. Although the slight underinvestment in the market still provides support, the lack of medium-term confidence for equities is increasingly becoming a burden.

• Equities: China is not a paragon
• Crude Oil: Instis plan to turn off the oil cock again
• Precious metals: Gold good, silver better
