Frankfurt Stock Exchange calculates indicator for private investor sentiment
Bull/Bear Index tracks market opinion of 600 private investors
May 23, 2013--Frankfurt Stock Exchange is now measuring the expectations of private investors for the first time with its Bull/Bear Index. Until now, the indicator only measured the expectations of institutional investors.
The survey has now also been extended to include questions on individual securities and point forecasts. In cooperation with Comdirect Bank, around 600 selected private investors provide weekly information on whether they are optimistic or pessimistic about the market. The data is collected every Wednesday and available from 6 p.m. on the website www.boerse-frankfurt.de under "Sentiment Indicators".
The Frankfurt Stock Exchange asks investors whether the DAX will rise, fall or move sideways in the next four weeks. Participants also state the level they expect the DAX to be at. This information can reveal the strength of a trend and enable more detailed statements about investor sentiment. The decisive factor is that the investors questioned are actually active in the market. The statements thus reflect real investor behaviour and are particularly meaningful.
