Asia Fear & Greed Index — Thursday, 1 October 2026

On Thursday, 1 October 2026, the Asia Fear & Greed Index read 30 out of 100 (Fear), down 2 points from 32 on Wed 30 Sep.

Why it read 30

The gauge sits at 30 (fear) as heavy selling pressure weighed on sentiment: Indian stocks are on a record losing streak amid foreign outflows and rising US yields, coinciding with recent price momentum at 5 and the news mood at 11. Investors are also demanding much higher returns to hold risky emerging-market debt (junk-bond demand at 0), while Japan's relative strength (69) and middling chip and China readings (53 and 46) offset some of the weakness and kept the overall reading out of extreme fear.
