What is FearAlert's New Zealand sentiment score?

The NZX 50 market's emotional barometer

The New Zealand Fear & Greed Index is a composite sentiment score for the New Zealand Stock Exchange, calculated from five market factors using the NZX 50 (^NZ50) and the Smartshares NZ Top 50 ETF (FNZ.NZ). It scores overall New Zealand market sentiment from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed).

Whether you're monitoring NZX equities for contrarian entry points or managing portfolio risk, FearAlert turns New Zealand market sentiment data into an automated email alert so you never miss the signal.
