Stock Market Volatility

Stock market volatility refers to the rapid and unpredictable fluctuations in stock prices over time. It measures the degree of risk and uncertainty associated with investing in the stock market. When volatility is high, stock prices can swing widely, leading to both significant gains and losses. Conversely, when volatility is low, stock prices tend to remain relatively stable. Volatility is influenced by various factors such as economic conditions, political events, and market sentiment.
