Stretched sentiment on FX and Equities as CB meetings loom large

The latest sentix survey provides a timely insight into investors’ thinking heading into a key period for markets, with December’s ECB and Fed meetings having cast an increasingly long shadow across markets in recent weeks. The survey highlights several areas in which sentiment has become notably stretched. In FX, investors remain extremely pessimistic on the near-term outlook for the Euro versus the US dollar. This is in marked contrast to the high optimism that is evident on equity indices such as the EuroSTOXX. Such stretched sentiment suggests a lot of central bank (CB) news is already built into FX and equity markets, which may leave them vulnerable to any disappointment. In the case of equities, the survey also suggests investors have become highly uncertain about the medium-term strategic outlook (Charts 2-4, P2). It could make for a volatile ride for markets in the coming weeks.

Die „Wellness á la EZB“ sorgt bei den Anlegern für gute Stimmung und dennoch dürfte damit zunächst der Höhenflug eine Unterbrechung erfahren. Dafür spricht nicht nur das saisonale Muster.

High optimism on Equities contrasts with continued Commodity caution

The latest sentix survey points to highly elevated investor optimism on global equity indices. Survey readings on the near-term outlook for European and US markets are running at the high-end of their historic range, though investors have also become a little less positive on equities from a medium-term strategic perspective (see Charts 5-6, page 3). However, on the other side of the sentiment divide, investors have become more cautious on commodities as an asset class in the past month. This chimes with their slightly less positive view on the outlook for Emerging Equity Markets (Charts 2-4, page 2). Sentiment on EM Equities and Commodities remains closely linked.
