Market Volatility and Stock Movements
Stock markets have recently experienced significant volatility, with particularly dramatic falls seen in the Japanese market. The Nikkei 225 index, for instance, fell over 12% in just two days, marking it as one of the worst declines in history. Such rapid shifts serve as a reminder of the underlying volatility that can catch investors off guard, especially after a long period of relative stability. The fear instigated by these market movements has prompted discussions on whether selling at the first sign of trouble is advisable or whether investors should brace for potential rebounds.
