At the beginning of March, the global economy is on a sustained recovery path, increasingly driven less by expec-tations for the future and more by improvements in the assessment of the situation. The global situation index rises for the tenth time in a row to 5.5 points, the overall index even for the eleventh time in a row to the best value since March 2018. The picture is basically the same in all world regions, the upswing is thus broad-based. In Euroland, the situation assessment also improved significantly from -27.5 to -19.3 points, despite continuing re-strictions in many countries.

US Bonds with Countercyclical Buy Signal

Recently, rising yields have put US technology stocks in particular under pressure. Due to the high weight in the main indices, this also had consequences for the broad market. All the more remarkable is the recent turn in the strategic bias for U.S. Treasuries. This has risen by more than 11 percentage points in the last three weeks. Such a rate of change promises purely statistical recovery potential for U.S. bonds. The equity markets should benefit from this.

Equities: Stable underlying confidence, sentiment supports

The situation in the Eurozone remains stable and calm. The entry into a European fiscal union, as Federal Finance Minister Scholz formulated it last week in the Bundestag on the occasion of the deliberations on the planned debt issuance by the EU Commission, probably also contributed to this.

Renewed TD signals

The market environment for equities is not good at the moment. A look at the proportion of shares above the 50-day line, for example, shows a divergence for the S&P 500 Index. Such a divergence has been a harbinger of corrections in the past. It is therefore surprising that the sentix sentiment indicators show price opportunities. After all, the sentiment values are already clearly gloomy. What will prevail?

Bonds: Positioning becomes support
Gold: The worst seems to be over
