US trade and fiscal policies amplify bearish trends in stock market — Citigroup

US trade and fiscal policies amplify bearish trends in stock market — Citigroup

According to Citigroup, investor positioning in American equities has turned more cautious. The growing bearish sentiment reflects uncertainty surrounding both trade and fiscal policies of the US administration.

The organization's experts note mixed dynamics among S&P 500 components, while exchange-traded fund (ETF) positioning remains close to neutral.

Meanwhile, European stocks continued to show positive momentum. According to Citigroup, EU equity positioning remained broadly stable despite growing pressure from the US administration.

Citigroup also highlights that investor sentiment remains contingent on shifts in the macroeconomic landscape. Currently, ambiguous policy initiatives of President Donald Trump continue to weigh on market positioning.
