Telecoms sentiment upswing in the face of falling relative
Monthly survey questions on investors’ views on the medium-term outlook for European sectors reveal a less positive view on Energy and Basic Resources versus the market, which chimes with participants’ still negative medium-term strategic bias on Oil. At the same time, sentiment also weakened over the month in the case of defensive sectors such Healthcare, Food & Beverages and Utilities. However, on the more-defensive sector front an interesting divergence has also recently emerged in the case of Telecoms. Survey findings are consistent with a gradual improvement in sentiment towards Telecoms versus the market, even as the sector relative has hit ten year lows. See page 2 for charts.
