Investor Sentiment

Investor sentiment is the overall mood or attitude of investors toward financial markets or an asset class, reflected in price trends and trading behavior. It captures whether investors are generally optimistic or pessimistic and can diverge from underlying fundamentals.

Example: After a market decline, sentiment indicators showed a more cautious mood among investors even as earnings data remained solid, illustrating how sentiment can diverge from fundamentals.
