"Correction Fears Are Mounting" (1156 Gmt)

Here is an interesting feedback from Barclays' equity strategy team, which reported that sentiment is not that bullish among investors.

"As markets have turned decidedly more risk-on, correction fears are mounting among many investors we speak to", the strategists write in their latest note.

So what's troubling these investors?

"A few technicals look stretched, with RSI (Relative Strength Index) outright overbought for S&P500 (but not for SX5E), Put/Call ratio back to the lows and looming negative September seasonality, while U.S. elections, jittery bond market and second virus wave in Europe are potential headwinds", Barclays says.

Anyhow, their strategists remain quite confident even if one can never rule out a sudden change of trend.

"We remain of the view that the unwind of the massive flight to safety seen ytd is likely closer to the beginning than the end, and that the still light positioning as a whole provides positive asymmetry to equities".

Here's the RSI showing how the S&P is arguably overbought and how the EURO STOXX 50 isn't:
