Not really a new situation

Sentiment for US equities remains moderately bearish, acknowledging the recent weakness in the US equity market. Volatilities have risen, the P/C ratio has touched the last reversal levels. The strategic bias does not yet show any bargain hunters. This speaks for a continuing corrective movement. The European stock market is benefiting from "less technology". Nevertheless, the bond market could become a killjoy here as well.

Further results:

• Bonds: New 52-week low in bias
• Bitcoins: Negative sentiment impulse
• sentix Sector Sentiment

Paradox sentiment situation

The S&P 500 is rushing from one all-time high to the next. Surprisingly, this process is relatively "unemotional". Sentiment for equities in the USA is just about neutral. At the same time, fewer and fewer investors are following the upward trend at the strategic level. Medium-term reservations are growing and in the end are also reflected in sentiment. The situation is different in the precious metals sector. There, investors are rejoicing over the successful liberation blow.

Further results:

• Bonds: Strong bias discount
• Gold: Sustainably good starting position

No supportive market low reached yet

Sentiment in equities has deteriorated over the course of the week. The chart of the week shows the link between sentiment and the volatility structure in equities. This might give the impression that sentiment could already be negative enough for equities to rise. But this is not the case, in our opinion. Rather, there is still a lack of a sufficiently large number of bears for a supporting market low.

Further results:

• Bonds: Basic confidence turns down again
• Commodities: Positive focus continues

New 26-week lows in the bias

The high long positioning in the euro/US dollar is still weighing on the exchange rate despite the reduction. The recent recovery of the European currency has not led to a lasting change in the bias. A strengthening of the US dollar should be the logical consequence. In addition, investors' basic strategic conviction about equities has also deteriorated further. The willingness to take profits is clearly increasing.

Further results:

• Bonds: Price weakness indicated for BTPs
• Gold: It looks quite good
• sentix investor positioning in equities and bonds
