How each index is built

Every regional index uses the same four-component template. Each component is normalized via a trailing percentile rank so scores stay comparable across markets and regimes.

Market Momentum 25%
Index level vs its 125-day moving average. Captures whether the market is stretched above or below trend.
Volatility 25%
Downside deviation of daily returns. Inverted — calm = high score, turbulent = low.
Currency Safe-Haven 25%
Recent change in the local currency vs USD. Weakness usually accompanies risk-off equity flows.
Foreign Investor Flow 25%
Net buying or selling of local equities by overseas investors, percentile-ranked over the trailing window.

Weights are intentionally equal. None of the four reliably predicts the others, and over-engineering the weights would just curve-fit history. Each regional page documents its specific data sources and any market-specific adaptations.

Read this as a contrarian reference point, the same way the original US Fear & Greed Index works. Extreme readings are worth noticing — they're not a signal to trade on alone.
