Gold & Silver Fear Index — April 2026: 40.1

The Gold & Silver Fear Index averaged 40.1 in April 2026. Early in the month, concerns over dangerous nuclear brinkmanship pushed tension up, causing the index to peak at 44 on April 7. The index reached its lowest point of 38 on April 28, even as headlines highlighted that most of Silver Falls reopened following storm damage. Fears rose again later in the month due to the risk of a fresh US-Iran conflict and news that the U.S. was considering renewed airstrikes. April ended with gold prices struggling while stocks hit new record highs despite the ongoing Iran war.

Scores in this month were computed by the first-generation engine (v1).
