Мания на рынке акций США пока не предвещает его обвала — Bloomberg Intelligence
Инвесторы берут на себя повышенные риски, и это чревато скорым ростом волатильности. Тем не менее с точки зрения истории в ближайшие месяцы рынок акций США может показать неплохую динамику, пишут стратеги Bloomberg Intelligence.
Индикатор «Пульса рынка», разработанный Bloomberg Intelligence (чем выше значение, тем больший градус «мании» наблюдается на рынке акций США). Источник: Bloomberg
Внутренняя динамика S&P 500 улучшается: рост акций становится все более широким, т. е. все больше компонентов индекса тянут его вверх. С одной стороны, это означает, что октябрьское дно может оказаться устойчивым, а с другой — на рынке акций США наблюдается явная мания, пишут стратеги Bloomberg Intelligence.
В частности, индекс «Пульса рынка»*, который разработали эксперты компании, достиг уровней «мании» и все глубже уходит в эту территорию. Это говорит о повышенном уровне риска, который берут на себя инвесторы, а также предвещает скорый рост волатильности, пишут стратеги Bloomberg Intelligence.
*ProFinance.ru: данный индекс оценивает настроения инвесторов с помощью нескольких метрик, включая динамику маржинального кредитования, разницу в динамике между циклическими и защитными секторами, разницу в динамике между высокодоходными облигациями и облигациями инвестиционного уровня, различные корреляции итд
Впрочем, по их данным, история указывает, что с точки зрения статистики в ближайшие три месяца обвала рынка акций США ждать не стоит. Данные за последние десять лет говорят о том, что за три месяца после того, как индикатор «Пульса рынка» достигал «маниакальных» уровней, Russell 3000 подрастал в среднем на 1,7%, а S&P 500 — на 3,1%.
