Europe Fear & Greed Index — Monday, 12 October 2026

On Monday, 12 October 2026, the Europe Fear & Greed Index read 19 out of 100 (Extreme Fear), up 2 points from 17 on Fri 9 Oct.

Why it read 19

The gauge reads 19, in extreme fear, as bank shares lag the broad market badly (0/100), junk-bond demand is very weak (2/100) and price momentum is very poor (3/100), which coincided with worries about higher oil prices, elevated bond yields, Ukraine-Russia energy tensions and a tech selloff in the US and Asia. Investors also favoured bonds over stocks and volatility readings showed extreme fear, while small companies holding up relatively well (60/100) was the one bright spot.
