Equities: Risk-off rotation after weak global sentiment – Danske Bank
Danske Research Team highlights another weak session for global equities, with major indices down and a defensive rotation within sectors. Materials, industrials and technology underperformed, led by semiconductors. Asian markets opened lower, following Wall Street’s tone, while US equity futures turned marginally higher, suggesting only a tentative stabilisation after the prior day’s sell-off.
Defensive sectors outperform in risk-off trade
"Global risk appetite was weak again yesterday, with a sharp decline across major equity indices, with global equities down 1.3%."
"The rotation within equity was a classic defensive rotation on a risk off with min vol and value outperforming peers."
"Defensive sectors rose with the exception of health care."
"The materials and industrials were among the weakest performers, yet the much in-focus tech sector also dropped markedly."
"This morning, Asian markets are in the red, reflecting the tone set by US markets yesterday."
