Gold & Silver Fear Index — October 2026: 53.3

The Gold & Silver Fear Index started October at its highest point of 56 on the very first day of the month. Early on, local law enforcement partnering with Safe Haven for Domestic Violence Awareness Month helped pull tension down. Market anxiety was driven by news that gold prices plunged 12.4% toward critical support, while news of a former Peace Corps employee being sentenced for theft served as a calming factor. The index quickly hit its low point of 52 on October 2 before leveling out. Ultimately, the month finished with a quiet overall average score of 53.3.
