Risk-On / Risk-Off Meter
Macro mood at a glance — equities, commodity FX, gold, oil, and fear gauge blended into one score. Educational composite for mandate-desk context, not a trade signal.
Neutral
Score: -11.7 / 100
Mixed signals — no clear macro tilt; reduce size or wait for clarity.

How it works: Each asset gets a session % move and a risk bias. Gold and VIX rising tilt risk-off; equities and AUD/NZD rising tilt risk-on. The needle is a weighted composite — not a live Bloomberg feed.
Kodiac mandate desks use defined risk parameters, not macro meters. Use this for context before sizing — pair with our position size and performance register for verified mandate-desk history.
Risk-on
Investors buy growth: stocks up, commodity FX firm, yields rise. Carry trades (AUD/JPY, NZD/JPY) often work.
Neutral
Cross-currents — mixed data or pre-event positioning. Good time to cut size and wait for a clearer regime.
Risk-off
Safety first: gold bid, yen/chf firm, equities soft, VIX elevated. Capital preservation over aggression.
