Europe Fear & Greed Index — Friday, 16 October 2026

On Friday, 16 October 2026, the Europe Fear & Greed Index read 33 out of 100 (Fear), up 13 points from 20 on Thu 15 Oct.

Why it read 33

The gauge is at 33 mainly because the market-based signals are flashing alarm even though the news is upbeat: bank stocks are badly lagging the broader market (2/100), junk-bond demand is very weak (6/100), and volatility is high (12/100), with price momentum also deeply fearful (22/100). Today's headlines about a DAX rally, easing chip selloffs and strong AI chip demand coincided with an extreme-greed news reading (92/100), but that was not enough to offset the stress showing up in prices and credit.
