FEARWhy it read 46
Weak stock-price momentum and narrow market breadth are pulling the gauge toward fear, coinciding with 19-year-high Treasury yields and building Fed rate-hike expectations that weigh on stocks and borrowing costs. Offsetting that, a calmer volatility term structure and steady demand for riskier bonds keep the overall reading balanced near neutral, even as an EU energy crisis adds a mild inflationary drag.
