The CNN Fear and Greed Index ends the week at 64, in the Greed area. This makes the first week in the last nine weeks where the indicator has closed the week in the Greed area. The last Greed reading was June 2, 2026. With the war in the Middle East still unresolved, it is premature to put much meaning on one reading. External events could easily send the market up or down depending on the news. But it is an encouraging sign.
