Investors still on the Defensive

The latest sentix survey suggests that investors remain on a defensive footing in terms of their sector preferences. While pessimism on Basic Resources versus the market has receded a little in the past month, Energy remains deeply unloved. At the same time, survey participants continue to become less optimistic on cyclical sectors such as Autos, Chemicals and Industrial Goods & Services (Chart 2, page 2). This is in sharp contrast to improving sentiment towards defensive sectors such as Healthcare and Food & Beverage. Indeed, the past month has even seen investors become a little less pessimistic on Utilities (Chart 3). Investors’ equity sector preferences versus the market continue to be tilted away from cyclical sectors towards defensives.

Erholung in China gewinnt an Kontur

Große Verunsicherung, um nicht zu sagen Panik, befiel in den letzten Wochen so manchen Anleger, wenn er an chinesische Aktien dachte. Ein Einbruch um mehr als 30% binnen vier Wochen war zu viel, um noch an „normale“ Marktverhältnisse zu glauben. Und selbst die chinesische Administration wurde von der Abwärtsdynamik überrascht und wusste sich nur mit außergewöhnlichen Markteingriffen, wie einem Verkaufsverbot für bestimmte Aktienwerte, zu helfen. Doch diese Phase scheint abgeschlossen. China-Aktien werden von bearishem Sentiment und neuem Grundvertrauen gestützt.

Seitdem Mario Draghi die EZB auf ein umfassendes „Quantitative Easing“ eingeschworen hat, profitieren die europäischen Aktienmärkte von einem massiven Vertrauenskapital. Dieses ist deutlich größer als für andere Aktienmärkte und hat zu einer Outperformance der Euro-Aktienmärkte gegenüber ihren US-Pendants beitragen. Und dieser Trend ist noch nicht zu Ende!

Despite the increasing confusion surrounding the fate of Greece the composite index for the euro zone rises in July. While investors’ 6-month expectations remain about stable, their assessments of the current situation improve significantly. This constellation signals that market participants already behave as if the euro area was in a boom! In addition, the strong rise of the US index stands out. At the same time, though, the picture for the emerging-markets regions gets ever cloudier which, all in all, points to a world economy losing further steam.

Heightened uncertainty on Equities in near-term

The latest Sentix survey throws up a couple of interesting angles on Eurozone equities and bonds. In the case of equities, elevated Neutrality readings point to a high degree of underlying uncertainty on the near-term outlook for equity indices such as the EuroSTOXX, even though sentiment readings are modestly positive (see Charts 5-7, page 3). This suggests there is potential for increased volatility in the coming weeks. In the case of bonds, investors are less upbeat than they were earlier in the year, from both a near-term and medium-term strategic perspective. However, sentiment has begun to revive in recent weeks. Monthly survey questions focussed on investors views on the economic outlook suggest this recent revival has reflected a growing belief that the macro backdrop has become less bond-bearish on a six month view (see Chart 3, page 2). Macro continues to matter for bonds.
