Every month, Awap surveys its community of External Asset Managers to gauge market sentiment.
Here are some key findings from the AWAP Barometer – April 2026:
• 92% increased the cash holdings in their portfolios during the first quarter
• 46% expect the S&P 500 to fall by at least 20% this year
• 0% expect oil prices to return quickly to pre-crisis levels ($60/bbl)
This first survey was conducted on 7 April.
Further editions will follow to track changes in sentiment.
