Will there finally be a sustainable economic upturn? At least the economic recovery in the eurozone and world-wide is continuing. We are measuring the sixth consecutive rise in the overall index for the eurozone. The index rises to -5.9 points. Expectations for the eurozone have even risen for the seventh time and, at +5 points, are at their highest level since February 2022. The economic signals are also stabilising internationally.

Bull bump

The geopolitical uncertainties and reduced prospects of an interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve have caused unrest on the stock markets and a slump in sentiment. However, the sentiment data points more towards consolidation and less towards the risk of a general trend reversal. Commodities in particular have benefited in the current environment. We are seeing bullish sentiment for gold and crude oil and thus a deterioration in the risk situation.

Party with the handbrake on

The stock markets remain in a bull trend for the time being. Nevertheless, the mood for dividend stocks is only cautiously positive. At the same time, the risk situation already indicated a month ago has intensified, particularly for Europe's stock markets. A correction is long overdue, especially as the investment behavior of private investors appears increasingly risky. The risks on the bond market are significantly lower. Precious metals are now also showing increased risks.

• EUR-CHF: Massive mood impulse

Negative sentiment divergence

Imagine it is a bull market and investors are not infected by it. That is exactly the case. Prices are not sparking jubilation among investors. On the contrary. With the constant new highs, strategic scepticism is growing. But the proportion of bears is also growing in the short term. A clear negative divergence has emerged in sentiment, reminiscent of the end of 2021. Bull markets are not only ended by euphoria, but sometimes also by a rational rejection.
