“Our index of global sell-side recommendations is back to peak bullishness levels reached in 2000 and 2007, after which global equities halved. Analysts are net buyers of every sector in every region, but then they usually are. They are still bullish on cyclical sectors suggesting few fears of oncoming global recession.” – Robert Buckland, chief global strategist, Citibank
