Market sentiment analysis as of 19 February: "All sails set"

Joachim Goldberg

According to the latest Bank of America survey of international fund managers, further shifts in equity exposure towards the eurozone have apparently taken place in recent weeks. On the other side of this demand are institutional investors, who have moved even further to the short side for the fifth time in a row, possibly also attracted by significantly rising share prices. In the meantime, 58% of those surveyed are betting on a falling DAX, which at the same time gained another 3.6% in the last reporting week alone. For Joachim Goldberg, the prospects for the DAX therefore remain good, especially as the stock market barometer could receive a further boost from an additional short squeeze.

Investors with bullish expectations are long, investors with bearish short. Cost prices and imbalances can be deduced in particular from the changes. Often the sentiment index functions as a counter-indicator because there is no potential demand, but this does not fit in every market situation.
