Markets are cyclical, and that’s an inevitable truth that every investor needs to remember when risking their capital in the financial markets, no matter what asset class or individual company they decide to invest in. No profits can be made without volatility, though the same counts for losses, and the differentiating factor all comes down to the timing of market entries and exits.
Today is an uncertain time in stock market history, with volatility regimes rising for fundamental and external reasons. For example, the recent trade tariffs implemented by President Trump in the United States economy cloud the ability to forecast future economic activity and growth, indirectly creating “choppy” financial markets.
