Bank of America’s bull-and-bear indicator rose to 9.6 on July 23, marking its highest reading since December 2020 and the third-highest level seen over the past 24 years. The gauge points to extremely optimistic market sentiment. It tracks several inputs, including flows into stock and bond funds, equity positioning by hedge funds and fund managers, credit market conditions, and market breadth. According to the analysis cited in the report, the latest move higher was driven mainly by lower cash allocations among fund managers. That cash position fell 0.5 percentage point from the previous month to 3.6%, putting it close to the lowest level in 13 years. The reading suggests investors have become significantly more constructive in their market stance.
