iFlow® Mood
BNY’s iFlow Mood Index* measures the differences in investor flows into developed market equities and short-dated government paper, capturing the “mood” for risk. Since recording a low after the first year of the pandemic, sentiment has generally been positive, with temporary dips around major supply shocks involving geopolitical and trade conflict. In the first weeks of 2026, the mood for risk has declined, with a pickup in equities selling against steady flows in core sovereign bonds.
*BNY's iFlow Mood Index is a measure of investor preference for stocks or bonds.
