INTWKLY → World and Regional Indicators → Risk-On Risk-Off Index (RORO)

The RORO index was added to INTDAILY and INTWKLY. This index is a multifaceted measure designed to capture the realized variation in global investor risk appetite. It uses daily data from asset markets in the US and the euro area. It presents an aggregation of risk-on risk-off states of the world based on four broad categories reflecting variation in advanced economy credit risk, equity market volatility, funding conditions and currencies and gold. Data are sourced from FRB KC and start in May 2003.

Chart: The period of the Global Financial Crisis (fall 2008) and the early days of the COVID pandemic (3/2020) display some of the biggest risk-off movements, peaking above 10 standard deviations. The S&P downgrade of the US credit rating (8/2011), the collapse of Credit Suisse (3/2023), and liberation day (4/2025) also illustrate noteworthy examples of significant risk-off dates, reaching 5.8, 3.6 and 4.6 standard deviations, respectively.
