Investors move back onto the defensive

The latest sentix survey suggests investors have become more defensive in their investment preferences. At an asset level, the large negative gap between views on the medium-term outlook for Eurozone bonds versus equities is continuing to close. Survey questions on investors’ opinions on the medium-term outlook for sectors versus the European market also reveal a less ‘risk-on’ bias, with readings on Energy, Basic Resources, Autos and Banks reversing some of their recent gains. On the other side of the sentiment divide, pessimism on Food & Beverage is lessening, while Healthcare readings bounced back from historic lows. On a similar tack in commodities, investors’ medium-term strategic bias on Gold is becoming more positive. In short, it appears that the ‘risk-on’ bias baked into investor sentiment is weakening.

A beacon amidst the gloom on Bunds

T he latest sentix survey indicates that investors’ deeply negative medium-term strategic bias on Eurozone bonds has begun to moderate, set against economic expectations that are seen as a slightly less bearish theme for bonds. This fits with the February sentix economic survey, which revealed deteriorating expectations for the eurozone economy (readings dropped from +20.0 to +14.3). At the same time investors’ strategic bias on equities has become less positive. In a relative context, therefore, investors’ underlying negative medium-term strategic bias on eurozone bonds versus equities has moderated, along with expectations for the EZ economy.
