Risk On / Risk Off Barometer

The Risk On/Risk Off Barometer* is an innovative tool designed to measure the level of risk appetite in financial markets.

By utilizing a combination of cyclical and defensive assets, key currencies such as the Australian dollar, volatility indices like the VIX, and cyclical commodities like copper, this indicator provides a clear and immediate analysis. It shows whether investors are seeking risky opportunities (“Risk On”) or safe havens (“Risk Off”). Ideal for those looking to monitor market trends and make informed decisions, it is a powerful tool for traders and investors attentive to risk dynamics.

The indicator takes values between 1 and -1. Values above zero indicate a Risk On phase, while values below zero signal the presence of Risk Off.
