The markets and instruments which describe sentiment – all explained here

Markets move on the simple metric of risk. Either risk on or risk off, the constant see-saw of sentiment which oscillates back and forth every second of every trading day. And when you think about it the logic is very simple. Money chasing higher risk for higher rewards or lower risk for lower rewards, safe haven in other words. It is this constant search for returns which drives all markets whether bonds, commodities, equities or forex. So which indices and markets do we search for clues and signals as to market sentiment and in this video we explain where to look from the VIX to the S&P 500 and the volatility indices.
