Investors still constructive on medium-term outlook for Equities

While near-term optimism on equities has weakened in the past week and remains at relatively modest levels, the latest sentix survey indicates that investors are becoming more constructive on global equities from a medium-term strategic perspective. In the Eurozone, investors’ over-investment in equities is edging back up towards longer-term average levels (see Chart 7a, p3). In the case of Asian equity markets, investors have also become markedly less negative on Japan and China from a strategic perspective (Charts 2-3, p2). This chimes with their more upbeat views on the outlook for commodities.

A move towards risk-on is still evident in survey readings based on investors’ medium-term strategic bias on markets.
