Risk-on is flavor of October By Prieur du Plessis, on October 31st, 2011 posted in: Investment, Markets, Money  It is fascinating how financial markets moved from risk-off in September to risk-on in October. As shown in the chart below, courtesy of Arthur Hill of StockCharts.com, one can measure investors’ sentiment by comparing the line charts of four ETFs. “The S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and US Oil Fund (USO) rise when risk is ‘on’, while the 20+ year Bond ETF (TLT) and US Dollar Fund (UUP) rise when risk is ‘off’. SPY and USO bottomed and surged as TLT and UUP peaked and plunged,” shows Hill.
