SPXT - U.S. Equity Investor Sentiment Slides To Lowest For A Year Amid COVID-19 And Policy Concerns
- A new survey from IHS Markit reveals that US equity investors' risk appetite has deteriorated to the worst level recorded over the past year as concerns mount over the ongoing pandemic and investors perceive falling equity market support from monetary and fiscal policy.
- The survey's Risk Appetite Index fell from +14% in August to +1% in September, barely above the zero level that separates risk tolerance from risk aversion and registering the lowest degree of risk appetite yet recorded by the survey.
- Sentiment towards IT/tech, real estate, and communications services has also fallen compared to August, though only utilities and real estate are seeing overall net bearish sentiment.
