Commodities and Emerging Markets Sentiment still closely linked
The latest sentix survey indicates that while investors remain upbeat on the Chinese equity market, they remain cautious on the medium-term outlook for Emerging Equity Markets as an asset class. This chimes with their pessimism on Commodities, though survey respondents are less downbeat than they were in Q4 last year. Indeed, this is also evident in weekly survey readings on Crude and Gold, which continue to indicate a marked improvement in participants' medium-term strategic bias for both markets. A notable development, given sentiment towards Commodities and Emerging Markets remains closely linked (see Chart 3, page 2).
