Based on data from the World Uncertainty Index (WUI)—a quarterly index developed by researchers and published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED)—global uncertainty did reach an all-time high in late 2025/early 2026, surpassing levels seen during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. - https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/2038436294229930391?s=20 Abstract-📊 "We construct the World Uncertainty Index (WUI) for an unbalanced panel of 143 individual countries on a quarterly basis from 1952. This is the frequency of the word “uncertainty” in the quarterly Economist Intelligence Unit country reports. Globally, the Index spikes around major events like the Gulf War, the Euro debt crisis, the Brexit vote and the COVID pandemic. The level of uncertainty is higher in developing countries but is more synchronized across advanced economies with their tighter trade and financial linkages. In a panel vector autoregressive setting we find that innovations in the WUI foreshadow significant declines in output. This effect is larger and more persistent in countries with lower institutional quality, and in sectors with greater financial constraints." - 📉 https://ideas.repec.org/p/nbr/nberwo/29763.html Economic Policy Uncertainty Index- 🧮 'We develop indices of economic policy uncertainty for countries around the world. Daily US Economic Policy Uncertainty (7-day Moving Average) - https://www.policyuncertainty.com/index.html thecsrjournal, 5w, 'Global uncertainty reached an all-time high of 1,06,862.2 in the third quarter of 2025, according to the World Uncertainty Index (WUI), marking its highest recorded level.- "The spike surpasses uncertainty seen during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the 2008 financial crisis, and even the 9/11 attacks. The WUI measures how often the word “uncertain” appears in Economist Intelligence Unit country reports." #GlobalEconomy #WorldUncertaintyIndex #Markets #EconomicTrends https://www.instagram.com/p/DU7YphcEzl7/? utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
