It's not over
Article Abstract:
Stock market volatility in the United Kingdom could continue, according to Charterhouse's Richard Jeffrey. World economic certainty is one factor affecting stock markets, and economic weakness could continue in Asia. Wage inflation could also be a problem in the US and UK, where labor markets have tightened. Interest rates would have to be raised if wage inflation led to more general inflation, and an early rise in interest rates would help prevent rates from having to be raised more at a later date.

A price worth paying
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom stock prices have become more volatile in terms of prices of stocks in the FTSE 100 index. Volatility does not indicate that stock prices are due to fall, and volatility may decrease before stck price falls. Daily volatility can help long-term investors by making stocks appear to be risky and improving returns. Volatility may be caused by a number of factors including technological development and economic problems. Investors cannot achieve both high returns and low risk levels.
