What is the Volatility?

Modified on Thu, 6 Feb at 6:09 PM

Volatility measures the extent of price changes in a financial asset, serving as a key indicator of market risk. 

Higher volatility means larger price swings, which can increase short-term profitability but also make the investment riskier, as potential losses grow along with potential gains. Conversely, low volatility indicates smaller price movements, making the asset a lower-risk investment. 

Like liquidity, volatility influences the spread, with higher volatility typically leading to increased trading costs due to elevated risk.
