A Real-Time Snapshot of Global Market Sentiment
Financial markets constantly rotate between Risk-On and Risk-Off conditions. Understanding which environment you’re trading in can make the difference between riding momentum and fighting the market.
Our Risk-On / Risk-Off Meter is designed to give traders a clear, visual snapshot of current market sentiment—helping you align your trades with broader risk appetite.

What Is Risk-On vs Risk-Off?

• Risk-On markets reflect confidence and optimism. Traders and investors are willing to take on risk, favoring assets like:
  • Stocks and indices
  • High-yield and emerging-market currencies
  • Crypto and growth assets
• Risk-Off markets reflect caution and uncertainty. Capital flows toward safety, typically into:
  • Safe-haven currencies (USD, JPY, CHF)
  • Gold and defensive assets
  • Bonds and low-volatility instruments

Markets can shift rapidly between these two states due to economic data, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, or unexpected news.

How the Risk-On / Risk-Off Meter Works

The meter aggregates key market indicators to assess overall risk sentiment, such as:

• Equity market performance
• Volatility levels
• Currency strength and capital flows
• Commodity behavior (e.g., gold vs growth assets)
• Correlation shifts across asset classes

These inputs are combined into a single, easy-to-read gauge that reflects whether markets are currently leaning Risk-On, Neutral, or Risk-Off.
