Investor sentiment rose moderately across all markets we follow except the US, the UK, and (by extension) global developed markets, where sentiment continued to weaken but has stopped short of turning full-on bearish, ahead of key interest rate decisions by the Fed and the BoE this week.
Investor sentiment changed little last week, remaining neutral in all markets we track except Europe, where investors turned slightly more negative, ahead of the ECB interest rate decision meeting this Thursday.
Investor sentiment has settled in the neutral zone across all markets we follow, unable to resist the call from low volatility levels, but unwilling to directionally commit amidst an uncertain macro picture. The only thing investors can confidently say about returns right now is that they’d like more of it. Last week’s Jackson Hole gathering of major central bankers didn’t really clarify things for them either. Released statements weren’t so obviously wrong. But then again, they weren’t so obvious, period.
Investor sentiment remains on the defensive in all markets we track, except two: In Australia, where the RBA’s decision not to raise interest rates two weeks ago has raised hopes that the central bank might be all but done with rate hikes in that market. And in China, where hopes have once again been raised that a (credible) large and much-needed stimulus package will be unveiled this week.
Investor sentiment has bottomed out in every market we follow, except in China where investors remain unconvinced for now by the latest stimulus measures announced by the authorities, and in the UK where sentiment continues to decline, turning bearish this week in light of the Bank of England interest rate hike.

Investor sentiment continued to weaken last week in all markets we follow except China, where it recovered from bearish to neutral following repeated talks of upcoming stimulus. The recent decline in sentiment is limiting gains in some markets (Asia ex-Japan, Australia, China, Global Emerging markets, Europe, and Japan), and keeping them range-bound for the time being.
Investor sentiment continued to decline last week across all markets we follow, ending at fresh 2023 lows in Australia, China, Developed ex-US Markets and Europe (with Developed Markets narrowly escaping that fate — for now).
Investor sentiment fell another notch last week in all markets we follow, taking stock prices down with it — perhaps we are seeing a new adage in the making: “Sell in July and don’t ask why”?
Investor sentiment continued to ease last week, settling into the neutral zone ahead of the Q2 2023 earnings reporting season.

Investor sentiment continued to decline in all markets we track except in the UK, where investors remained bullish and, in the US, where sentiment became strongly positive but failed to turn bullish for the second time this month.
