Second setback in a row for the euro zone

Print

The composite index for the euro zone drops in April from -10.6 points to -17.3 points and stands now slightly below last December's value. While the election in Italy led to the first setback for the index in March, the Cyprus issue is, amongst others, an additional strain in April: both sub-indices, the assessment of the economic situation and the 6-month expectations drop again. Expectations are now in the neutral zone. The composite index for Germany is no longer able to keep its distance from the negative development in the euro zone, expectations drop palpably – also taking into consideration weaker assessments for Germany's export regions, especially in Asia ex Japan. The global index drops the second month in a row.

Der DAX hat wieder einmal die Marke von 8.000 Punkten erreicht. Das sentix-Sentiment, also die Erwartungen der Anleger auf Sicht von einem Monat, steigt kräftig. Die Luft in diesen Höhen wird dünner, zumal die 8.000 Punkte für viele Anleger das Signal darstellt, dass der Markt nun definitiv „oben" ist. Dass der DAX tatsächlich umgehend in eine gewisse Atemnot gekommen ist, zeigt innerhalb des sentix-Datenkranzes der Strategische Bias. Dieser stellt die 6-Monats-Erwartungen der Anleger dar, und er ist nun spürbar eingeknickt. Viel mehr als diese „magischen" 8.000 Punkte trauen die Investoren dem DAX derzeit offensichtlich nicht zu. Das haben wir in unserer aktuellen Wochenanalyse so geschrieben. Auch haben wir dort darauf hingewiesen, dass es sich bei diesem Phänomen um den in der Behavioral Finance bekannten „Ankereffekt" handelt: Die Marktteilnehmer haben ihre Erwartungen für DAX-Höchststände an dieser Marke verankert. Denn bisher wurden die 8.000 Punkte zwar schon ein paar Mal, nämlich exakt vor 13 Jahren sowie Mitte und Ende 2007, knapp überschritten – aber danach ging es dann jeweils bald wieder abwärts.
