Investor sentiment

Friday 17 October. Just a week after the US president tweeted about tariffs for China again, pulled back his remarks over the weekend and China ‘retaliated’. Two days before the first tweet, investor sentiment was measured at 52 ‘neutral’. Just nine days later it is at extreme fear. The tweet was not the only contributor to this decline, but its initial importance cannot be underestimated.
