Swiss consumer sentiment index improved in the 2nd quarter - SECO

According to the report from the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), sentiment amongst Swiss households is improving. The results of the April survey show that expectations regarding general economic development in particular are becoming more positive. The likelihood of households making major purchases has also risen.

As of April 2021, the consumer sentiment index has climbed to -7 points. This returns it approximately to the pre-crisis level of early 2020, and is closing in on its long-term average (-5 points). The primary reason for this significant improvement in sentiment is households’ expectations regarding general economic development. The relevant sub-index climbed from -18 points in January to +3, the highest value recorded since autumn 2018. This indicates that consumers are expecting the economic recovery following the crisis plagued year of 2020 to continue over the coming twelve months. 

Increasing likelihood of making major purchases has also helped to raise the consumer sentiment index. However, the relevant sub-index (current level: -13 points) has not yet recovered to its pre-crisis level. Households’ assessment of the labour market is also more positive than in previous quarters, but it remains considerably more negative than before the outbreak of the crisis. The index on expected unemployment (90 points) has improved considerably, but the index for job security has remained at a very low level since last autumn.

In the wake of rising inflation rates, price developments are weighing on purchasing power. As a result, the sub-indices on past and future price developments have increased compared to previous surveys.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
