Europe Fear & Greed Index — Saturday, 17 October 2026

On Saturday, 17 October 2026, the Europe Fear & Greed Index read 25 out of 100 (Fear), down 8 points from 33 on Fri 16 Oct.

Why it read 25

The gauge sits at 25 (fear) amid stress in credit and banking: junk-bond demand and bank shares are at or near their weakest readings (2 and 0), recent price momentum is also at an extreme low (9), and negative news (19) about a global AI stock sell-off hitting European chip and tech names adds to the gloom. Some relief shows up in today's headlines about DAX gains and easing chip selling, and in short-term volatility pricing (68, in greed territory), which helped keep the reading from falling further.
