Asia Fear & Greed Index — Thursday, 15 October 2026

On Thursday, 15 October 2026, the Asia Fear & Greed Index read 34 out of 100 (Fear), down 9 points from 43 on Wed 14 Oct.

Why it read 34

The gauge sits at 34 (fear) amid a sharp Asian stock selloff, with Korea's KOSPI falling about 9% and Japan's Nikkei nearly 5% alongside inflation worries, AI funding fears and rising US yields. News sentiment and price momentum both read zero, and safe-haven and junk-bond readings pointed to strong demand for bonds over stocks and away from high-yield debt, while strong readings for China and Japan relative to the region and a milder volatility reading offset some of that weakness.
