Risk-On / Risk-Off

A quick read on whether markets are leaning toward risk appetite or defensive positioning.

Current Regime
Risk-Off
Score
-43
Risk-Off Neutral Risk-On

The automated basket is leaning risk-off as defensive currencies are outperforming the growth group.

Score Guide
-100 to -61 = Strong Risk-Off
-60 to -21 = Risk-Off
-20 to 20 = Neutral
21 to 60 = Risk-On
61 to 100 = Strong Risk-On
NZD is the strongest growth-sensitive currency in the basket. JPY is leading the defensive group. Gold is relatively steady (XAUUSD -0.15%) and is not materially shifting the current regime read. Defensive currencies are showing broader relative strength than the growth group.

How To Use This

Currency strength helps you see which currencies are currently leading and lagging on a short-term basis.

Risk sentiment helps you judge whether markets are leaning defensive or growth-seeking right now.

Use both together as tactical context, then confirm your trade ideas with your own higher-timeframe trend work and lower-timeframe execution plan.
