Asia Fear & Greed Index — Wednesday, 12 August 2026

On Wednesday, 12 August 2026, the Asia Fear & Greed Index read 53 out of 100 (Neutral), up 3 points from 50 on Tue 11 Aug.

Why it read 53

A calm-volatility reading is pulling the overall gauge toward neutral even though sentiment underneath is shaky, with weak news flow and falling momentum coinciding with rising oil prices, a leadership exit at Tata, and sustained foreign fund selling in consumer stocks. Beneath the surface there is a sharp split, with resilience in China and Japan-linked stocks and credit markets contrasting with stress in semiconductors, showing the market is more divided than the single neutral number suggests.
