This quarter showed a marked decline, reflecting a broader shift in retail investor sentiment in line with global and domestic economic uncertainty. Having closed at a confident 57 in the April-June quarter, the Index trended downwards to average 38 across the three-month period. While sentiment started in the confident range, it progressively retreated.
Customers opted increasingly toward savings versus investing, and the percentage invested in individual companies dipped. By the final week of September, the Index had fallen to 31 in the cautious range, touching lows not seen since late 2024.
