European indexes have entered a new phase of bull market. The buying pressure is strong, while the pull-backs are shallow. There's a nice upside potential for 2014. Investors should see every pull-back on the market as buying opportunities.
A pick-up in the euro zone's macro indicators and a more dovish European Central Bank have prompted investors to scoop up European assets in the past few months, and the trend has extended into the new year.
Investment inflows from U.S. investors into European equities accelerated in the second week of 2014, according to Thomson Reuters Lipper data, signaling further investor appetite for Europe after last year's record inflows into the region.
The Lipper poll of a hundred U.S.-based funds invested in European equities, which include exchange-traded funds' (ETFs) holdings, shows the funds poured $815 million into European equities in the seven days to Jan. 15, nearly twice the pace of the last few weeks and the biggest inflow since late October. The European markets could see a better year than the US markets.
