Better, but not yet good

The first half of the week caught investors cold and considerably dampened the mood on the stock market. At the same time, there has been an improvement in basic strategic confidence. However, a look at the TD Index, e.g. for the Nasdaq Index, shows that this does not yet give a buy signal.

Investors remain stubborn

Investors are turning more and more to interest rate investments. The strategic bias for U.S. Treasuries climbs unwaveringly from week to week. We are currently measuring the highest value in the bias for U.S. longs since September 2006, and even a 20-year high for Bunds. This means that bonds are gradually stealing the show from equities and mutating into a serious competing investment. Precious metals also continue to score. Mining shares are also getting some of this shine.

Further results

• Bonds: Bonds, bonds, bonds - 20-year high in bias
• Goldmines equities: Benefit from the shine of gold
• sentix sector sentiment

Ex-pectations in particular slump to -19.0 points, the lowest level since December 2022. The German economy is also hard hit. The situation scores drop by 6.7 points, while expectations fall to -19.8 points. In the international con-text, the negative signs also dominate. For the US, the decline in expectations is striking. Here, the overall index reaches -17.5 points, the lowest level since November 2022. There is not much left of the laborious economic recovery of 2023.

Weak underlying confidence leads to nervousness

Nervousness about shares is on the rise. On the surface, the poor sentiment in equities gives hope. But the real tension is between the measurable serenity in the VIX Vola Index and the high neutrality of investors, which expresses their irritation about current market events. This tension should dissipate in the coming weeks. And as is almost always the case, this will happen through rising volatilities and a directional impulse.

Further results

• Bonds: Euroland bonds with rising fundamental confidence
• Gold: Still positive, but signs of fatigue
• sentix economic index: 08.05.23 at 10.30 AM CEST
