Investor Confidence… The Smart Money Shrugs Off the January Meltdown
The latest State Street Investor Confidence Index results for January are now available, and the results are surprisingly not that different from those reported for December. Apparently, the January downdraft hasn’t had any impact on institutional investors (yet). The Global ICI decreased to 108.8, down just 1.7 points from December’s revised reading of 110.5. The decline in sentiment was driven by a decrease in the North American ICI from 110.5 to 108.8 along with the Asian ICI falling 1.5 points to 102.9, and the European ICI falling 0.1 points to 103.4. Still, the numbers show that stocks are preferred over safer bonds by the “smart money”.
