Warning of potential volatility: 21-24 December

Volatility is one of the factors that investors in the financial markets analyse when making trading decisions. Financial market volatility is defined as the rate at which the price of an asset rises, or falls, given a particular set of returns. It is often measured by looking at the standard deviation of annual returns over a set period of time.
