Crash signals are getting louder for European stocks, says BofA
European stocks are facing a sharp reversal, according to a key BofA price momentum gauge.
TL;DR
- Bank of America's European Momentum Conviction Indicator (MCI) has dropped to 17, signaling a high risk of a price crash.
- A reading below 30 on the MCI typically indicates a potential 12-month price momentum crash over the next 4-8 weeks.
- The indicator's decline is attributed to rising implied volatility, momentum volatility, and trend reversal risk.
- This warning coincides with significant investor outflows from Europe-focused equity funds.
- Concerns are rising about a potential equity market correction, with some analysts noting diverging views between bond and equity markets.
