Any comments on the volatility in the stock markets over the past 2 weeks. The ISEQ index is down 190 points today already putting its losses for the last week at nearly 10%.
Equally, the FTSE, DAX and CAC are all down around 60 points. The HANG SENG index lost 500 points overnight - all this despite the brief rally on Friday and spread betters predicting a 40 point rise in London this morning.
Emerging markets geting hit the worst - Saudi market is down 50% in the past 4 months and the indian market lost 10% overnight and suspended trading (although it made up some of those losses later).
Can't understand the extent of the losses. profits are good and GDP growth is improving everywhere. Interest rates are on the rise but valuations and p/e ratios aren't as bad as they have been in the past. This is looking like another Black Monday (in the style of 1987).
