Summary
55 is the latest reading on CNN’s Fear & Greed Index, down from 63 in mid-May and 71 on May 1, leaving sentiment in neutral but edging toward fear.
That drop comes even as major stock indexes hover near record highs, signaling a widening gap between market performance and investor confidence.
Warren Buffett’s long-running advice in such periods is to keep buying rather than panic, arguing investors should be “greedy when others are fearful.”
His 2008 call during the financial crisis was followed by a gain of more than 1,000% in the S&P 500, underscoring the case for steady long-term investing through volatility.
