CTAS: A TURNAROUND IN SIGHT?
With a rollercoaster April drawing to a close, investors are hopeful for quieter markets next month.
On a positive note, UBS has some encouraging news.
The Swiss bank says that after weeks of selling, CTA (Commodity trading advisors) funds, which use computer programs to follow price trends, may finally turn bullish.
UBS expects $20-25 billion of potential CTA inflows into stocks over the next two weeks, following $40-50 billion of global stock sales since early April.
"If S&P prices remain above 5300, CTAs will be buying".
