Seasonal weakness ahead

Before the start of a seasonal weak phase, sentix sentiment data sends contradictory signals. Basic strategic confidence is falling, paving the way for profit-taking.

Equity Sentiment wobbles around

The stock sentiment does not provide a clear trend at the moment and is hovering around the zero line. At the same time, the bias is eroding, which does not bode well for the upcoming expiration week. Clearly better develops the investor behavior on the commodity side. In addition to crude oil, silver in particular looks very good. The TD index gives a new buy signal.

Further results:

• Crude oil: Constructive

February data in the sentix economic indices come in better than expected. In Euroland, the overall index rises for the fourth time in a row, improving by 9.5 points to now 8 points. The increase signals that a recession is off the table for the time being. Instead, the scenario of stagnation is gaining in contour. In Germany, too, the overall index improved by around 10 points. Both the current situation (+9.2 points) and the economic expectations (+10.2 points) signal an easing of the situation, but not a final all-clear. For the economic region Asia, things are looking better again: With the fifth increase in a row, the economic region is continuing its initiated upswing: The overall index rises by +10.3 points to now +11.7 points. The assessment of the current situation and expectations are moving up together.

Strategic irritation with bonds on the rise

The markets have coped surprisingly well with the interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve and the ECB, both to the expected extent. This is also due to the fact, as the sentix Theme Barometer shows, that the pressure from the central banks currently seems to be easing. But while some seem to confuse the end of interest rate hikes with interest rate cuts, the sentix Inflation Barometer shows that a real all-clear cannot yet be given for inflation.

Further results:

• Equities: Positive development in the US equity bias
• FX: Euro bias dips
• sentix Economic Index: Monday, 06.02.2023, 10.30 a.m.
