Market Sentiment: Why It Matters?
2015 ISEO Summer School Your Lecture with Prof. Arkerlof
Keynes(1932) “the market will be subject to waves of optimistic and pessimistic sentiment.” Winter (1986) “Perceptions of phenomena in the external world, interpreted by the perceiver as perceptions of “facts”, are actually fundamentally (but unconsciously) shaped by the perceiver’s own beliefs and expectations.” It’s all about perceptions……

Definition Previous Definition: Noise Traders’ Beliefs According to Delong, Shleifer, Summers, and Waldmann(DSSW)(1990), the investor sentiment, refers noise traders’ beliefs based on non-fundamentals and was originally attributed to the psychological theories. Definition of Market Sentiment: Economy sentiment is an aggregate level of individual beliefs about future economy performance. Exchange rate sentiment is an aggregate level of investors’ beliefs about the future risk and return of exchange rate.

Background • Frankel and Froot (1986) have applied survey data in the
Foreign Exchange Market to explain the US dollar bubble. The interest differential between Europe and US fell suggesting an increase of risk perception, if anything shifted to US.
• Cheung and Chinn (1999). Taylor and Allen (1992) focus on the use of technical analysis. This approach simply summarize the responses of the subjects and get the proportions of respondents and it leaves no space for other econometric analysis to test the causality and the marginal effects.

Data • The investor sentiment indices dataset SENTIX, which
surveyed more than 4,400 investors including over 1,000 institutional investors from 2001. As a very unique dataset first, distinguishes the institutional investors and private investors. Second, it’s an online survey which allows different international investors take surveys in different locations.
• It has both economy sentiments for US, Europe and Japan, as well as the exchange rate sentiments for EUR/USD and USD/JPY. SNX, ZEW and US consumer confidence index are correlated significantly. Survey-Based Data is also correlated with Market-Based Proxy such as VIX.

Some Striking Facts • Sentiments during recessions are significantly lower than the
normal periods. However, the standard deviation of the sentiment doesn’t change a lot during recessions, since sentiment can be consistent over long periods. As you can see from the figure and table. Sentiment is usually very high right before the recessions, which is consistent with over-optimism.
• Low sentiments always happen during the recessions, but high sentiments are relatively random.

Results • Market Sentiment will affect the predicting power of the
fundamentals.
• 84.6% difference between the change in exchange rate during the normal period and high sentiment period is explained by the unexplained factor, the latent difference between high sentiment and low sentiment.
• Only 15.4% difference can be explained by the explained
variable(the difference of the fundamental during different period)

Conclusion
• One possible extension could be researching on sentiment in foreign exchange markets into other currencies, periods or surveys.
• Low sentiment can easily spread out, and it may lead to the instability in asset market. Do we need some financial regulations to offset the shift of market sentiment?
• High sentiment is relatively random, which could be an interesting topic to investigate.
