Questions

What is the Asia Fear & Greed Index?

A 0–100 gauge of sentiment in Asian equities. It fuses 8 signals — market-based readings plus AI-scored news — each measured against its own multi-year history, so 0 is extreme fear and 100 is extreme greed relative to how the market usually behaves.

How is this different from CNN's Fear & Greed Index?

CNN's index reads the US market only. This gauge is built from Asian inputs — from China risk pricing and the yen to semiconductor strength — plus regional news, so it can disagree with the US mood.

How often does it update?

The pipeline refreshes about every 30 minutes around the clock, and the listed-fund legs ride live quotes during US trading hours, so the reading moves through the day rather than once after the close.

Why did the gauge move today?

The Sentiscale app explains every reading in plain language, with each claim tied to the scored headlines behind it and independently verified. The number is free; the explanation is what the app adds.

Is this investment advice?

No. The gauge measures sentiment. It is context, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

The free iPhone app carries this gauge on a lock-screen widget and explains every move in plain language, cited to source.
