Negative sentiment divergence

Imagine it is a bull market and investors are not infected by it. That is exactly the case. Prices are not sparking jubilation among investors. On the contrary. With the constant new highs, strategic scepticism is growing. But the proportion of bears is also growing in the short term. A clear negative divergence has emerged in sentiment, reminiscent of the end of 2021. Bull markets are not only ended by euphoria, but sometimes also by a rational rejection.

Bullish sentiment in the precious metals sector

The consolidation signals for the equity market remain intact. Both the weak underlying confidence and the high values in the TD Index signal more risk than opportunity. Defensive asset classes, on the other hand, are much more appealing from an investor's point of view. Basic confidence in the bond market, for example, is rising steadily. The same applies to precious metals. However, a short-term overheating of sentiment is indicated here.

Buying Instis without a real conviction

Now the Japanese stock market has also been hit: since this weekend, the Nikkei has also been affected by overconfidence risk (analogous to the USA and the Euro zone). This is causing increasing risk signals in sentix Risk Radar. Investors also regard the high prices in the indices as expensive and no longer see any potential for most stock markets in the medium term. It is therefore all the more astonishing that institutional investors are increasing their position risk without any real conviction. The situation looks better for bonds and gold.

Upswing (still) without Germany

Print

At the beginning of March 2024, the sentix economic indices are improving for the most part, albeit still in mostly small steps. The overall Eurozone index rises by 2.4 points to -10.5 points. This is the fifth increase in a row. The situation also improved for the fifth time and expectations even for the sixth time (+3.2 points to -2.3 points). Nevertheless, one cannot speak of a typical spring revival. This is because Germany, as an economic heavy-weight, remains the ghost driver and is hampering the recovery. The situation looks more favourable in the other global regions. The USA, Asia ex Japan and Latin America are particularly favourable.

Crisis in Germany remains stubborn

Print

The sentix economic index for the eurozone rises by +2.9 points to -12.9 points in February, the fourth consecutive increase. Nevertheless, the recovery process remains sluggish. This is mainly due to Germany. The current assessment there fell to -39.3 points, while expectations recovered only sluggishly by 2.3 points. With the expectations component still at -14.0 points, the recession theme therefore remains. Internationally, there are increasing signs of recovery. The US region in particular is scoring well, with the overall index rising by 5.9 points to 12.1 points. Asia also continues to impress. The Asia ex Japan (China) region and Japan itself continue to try to develop economic momentum. As a result, the sentix Global Aggregate climbs to its highest level since February 2022.
