March 2026 Stats Reveal a Shockwave Across Financial Markets
We are back with our regular monthly review of KB Meter’s indicator statistics. In March 2026, the picture that emerges across financial markets resembles an earthquake, striking for both the speed of deterioration and the breakdown of traditional correlations.
In March 2026, our scoring system recorded the sharpest deterioration of recent quarters: the average Health Score dropped from 58.3 to 46.1 (−12.2 points, −21% in a single month), with the share of bullish instruments collapsing from 68.5% to 8.7%, while the Turbulence regime—virtually absent in February (9.2%)—rose to 39.4% of the sample. This is not an orderly technical correction; it is a simultaneous and disorderly repricing across multiple asset classes.
These figures reflect the market impact of the escalation and persistence of the U.S.–Israel–Iran conflict, alongside tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, compounded by signs of weakness in the U.S. labor market (−92,000 jobs in February, unemployment rate at 4.4%). The result is a potent mix: latent stagflation risk, elevated volatility, surging energy prices, declining bonds, and a sharp correction in global equities.
The most concerning signal this month is not the absolute level of scores—still بعيد from extreme lows—but the speed of deterioration and, above all, the breakdown of traditional asset-class correlations: neither long-duration bonds nor gold have acted as safe havens. The market has sought—and found—protection exclusively in ultra-short-term liquidity. Let’s now examine the full set of March 2026 statistics captured by our scoring system.
