Professionals are on the brakes

The main finding from investor behavior this week is that the strategic bias is eroding for many equity markets. This is particularly striking for US equities. Only the China bias is resisting this gravity. A historical comparison shows that these different developments have occurred again and again, and even out of time. This will also be the case in the Corona crisis. In the end, China is not an island either.

Waiting for the "rally of hope"

The mood for stocks remains depressed. In view of past experience, a technical countermovement is more than overdue. Now that the maturity of futures is also behind us, it would now be time for such a recovery. But what is normal in these times? In any case, the robust strategic bias of investors is beginning to crumble. Investors are realising that the hope of a quick return to normality was probably deceptive.

"Bias Rise" as a Hope

Sentiment for equities had recently fallen sharply. This week we are measuring a slight increase in sentiment for US equities of 8 percentage points, even though the absolute value of -34 percentage points still remains in bearish territory. Surprisingly, investors are showing confidence as they look to the medium term. There are some signs of easing - at least in the short term.

Welcome to Absurdistan

Anyone who thought that the bond markets had already experienced their greatest possible exaggeration in the summer of 2019 has recently been proven wrong in the wake of the Corona crisis. We would not have thought that the yield on 10-year Bunds could once again reach a new all-time low. For US bonds we were somewhat more opti-mistic (and therefore had a long position in our fund here), but a fall in interest rates from 1.5% to 0.5% within a month was beyond our imagination.
