Risk-On / Risk-Off

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

Current Regime

Neutral

Score

Risk-Off Neutral Risk-On

The automated basket is reading neutral with no clear risk regime taking control.

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

AUD is the strongest growth-sensitive currency in the basket. CHF is leading the defensive group. Gold is bid (XAUUSD 0.35%), which is reinforcing a more defensive tone. Growth-linked currencies are showing broader relative strength than the haven group. Risk and haven flows are still fairly balanced overall.

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.
