The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed an increase in the overall fear level, while the index remained in the “Fear” zone on Monday.

U.S. stocks settled lower on Monday, with the Dow Jones index dipping more than 400 points during the session. Large tech stocks fell again on Monday, with shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) declining 3.3% and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) losing 1.4% during the session.

Although major indices settled lower on Friday, they still recorded gains last week. The blue-chip index gained around 0.4% last week, ending a three-week losing streak, while the S&P 500 added 0.7%. The Nasdaq, meanwhile, rose about 0.8% during the week.

U.S. pending home sales increased 2.2% month-over-month in November, following a revised 1.8% gain in October and above market estimates of a 0.7% increase.

At a current reading of 27.9, the index remained in the “Fear” zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 30.8.

The Fear & Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
