Our Sentiment Index, produced in collaboration with Radiocor Il Sole 24 Ore, always attracts the interest of the financial press, providing a clear picture of what financial market participants expect.
For the May 2025 edition, the Sentiment Index sinked to sinks to -55 points, reflecting deepening concern over U.S. trade policy and global economic outlook. The survey reveals that sweeping tariff announcements by the Trump administration — widely perceived as a protectionist pivot — have triggered major concerns among analysts. Only 5% of respondents now expect improvements in Italy’s macroeconomic outlook over the next six months, while 60% foresee deterioration, up 19 points from April. The collapse in optimism has also dragged down sentiment on the European economy, with even sharper declines noted in expectations for the United States, where the sentiment index plunged to a staggering -85 points.
The publications that have reported on the Sentiment Index, in addition to Radiocor with which we collaborate, we would like to mention Advisor, InvestireMag, Lamiafinanza, InvestmentWorld and Bluerating.
