Market dynamics are deeply interconnected, with shocks in one sector affecting others, as highlighted by historical events like the 1987 stock market crash that led to a significant decline in cattle prices. This reflects the perception of volatility, where traders often sell off assets to cover positions during crises, triggering a cascade of price drops across different markets. Algorithms further exacerbate these rapid fluctuations, allowing market corrections to occur much faster than in the past, often within days instead of weeks. Consequently, understanding the nature of financial assets and how they are impacted by shifting market conditions is crucial for navigating the current economic landscape.
