sentix policy barometer: The Brexit is increasingly becoming a burden
Since the beginning of the year, investors have perceived political issues as clearly weighing on the stock markets. So far, geopolitical issues and US President Trump have been the main influences. Despite the Turkish crisis, the sentix policy barometer has not deteriorated in this respect. But another topic is moving ever stronger - and negative! - into focus.

End of the holiday period
With the end of the holiday season in Central Europe, investors are also rethinking their minds. Medium-term ex-pectations for shares in the travel and leisure sector are falling significantly. This creates a sales readiness that speaks for an upcoming relative weakness of the sector.

Party without atmosphere
We observe a very rare phenomenon at sentix: the US stock markets are going up, the Nasdaq is climbing from one all-time high to the next - only the enthusiasm of investors is missing. The reasons are "fundamental".

Automobiles and banks - two unloved sectors
In recent weeks, two sectors in particular have made negative headlines: the automobiles industry and the banking sector. In both cases, these are coming from home-grown problems of individual companies as well as from a specific political component. Both together has strongly depressed investor sentiment in the sectors, resulting in an interesting constellation for contrary investors.

Sentiment comeback of the US dollar
The US dollar has made a respectable comeback in the last four weeks. Against the euro, the greenback appreciated by around 6 cents and also strengthened against the Japanese yen. This has significantly changed the mood, as measured by the sentix sentiment. In the short term, investors are not as bullish for the dollar as they have been since the end of 2016.

Oil and oil stocks are running hot
The uncertainties in the Gulf region, which continue to be fueled by the termination of the Iran nuclear agreement by the USA, and the sharp rise in prices are leaving their mark on investors' sentiment. Investor sentiment on oil has reached its highest level since the end of 2016, and oil shares are also in high demand. But here, too, we are now measuring euphoric trends in the sector sentiment. A contrary chance is looming!

sentix policy barometer: Geopolitics burdened
Political risks are again rated significantly more negatively by investors. The sentix policy barometer fell by 0.11 points in April to -0.59. This is the lowest value since the start of the survey in April 2017. No wonder, since at the time of the survey the Syrian conflict was on the verge of a dramatic escalation.

Clearance sale
Retail shares are not really generating any storms of enthusiasm among investors at present. On the contrary: the in-vestor sentiment measured by sentix is in the negative range with more than 1.5 standard deviations. This is the lowest value since 2006, but it offers a contrary opportunity!

Trump disturbs - and benefits
Anyone who thought that after the Italian parliamentary elections there would be calm on the political front is mistaken. Elections and the euro crisis have indeed faded into the background for investors, even though it is far from easy to form a government in Italy. Instead, the fire head on the other side of the Atlantic is making headlines again and is unsettled with protectionist slogans. For Trump himself, however, this seems to be paying off.

Institutional investors without clear equity positioning
Professional investors are paid to outperform by clearly positioning themselves against their benchmark. However, many institutional investors are currently retreating to their benchmarks in the "neutral corner". This is an unusual development and cause of a great disorientation - in the short and medium term.
