INVESTOR SENTIMENT FOR STOCKS IS OUTPACING BONDS
Investors are becoming more optimistic about stocks than bonds, just as the Federal Reserve begins cutting interest rates, according to SentimenTrader's Jason Goepfert.
The spread between the sentiment for stocks, measured by the Intermediate-term Optimism Index, is now more than 50% higher than the Bond Optimism Index.
Data shows that this disparity doesn't actually provide a clear signal for the S&P 500 .SPX beyond a near-term decline. But the benchmark 10-year Treasury note US10YT=RR showed a strong tendency to rally three to six months after stock sentiment outpaced bond sentiment, Goepfert says.
Two groups of S&P 500 stocks tended to do better than others: Consumer Staples .SPLRCS, which is among the most defensive of sectors, and technology .SPLRCT, the most cyclical one.
Trading usually follows a pattern in which cyclical and large cap stocks tended to show increasingly poor average returns before increasingly positive ones. Small cap stocks surprisingly showed relatively positive performance across all time frames even as other stocks struggled, Goepfert says.
