Sentiment setback for Commodities and Emerging Markets
Monthly survey questions looking at investors’ views on asset classes suggest that sentiment towards both Emerging Equity Markets and Commodities has weakened over the past month, albeit readings remain well above their Q4 2014 lows. This development chimes with the less positive view on the medium-term, more strategic outlook for the Chinese equity market that has emerged in recent weeks, as well as renewed pessimism on Crude Oil and Gold (see Charts 2 and 3, page 2). The sentix survey continues to underline the degree to which sentiment towards Commodities and Emerging Equity Markets remains closely linked.
