What You Need to Know About Recent Market Volatility
As your financial professional, it is my goal to keep you updated on developments concerning the recent volatility in the financial markets.
On Thursday morning, February 24, the stock market tumbled after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an overnight military invasion of Ukraine.
Many experts believe that despite the weight of the turmoil, the mood among traders stem primarily from worries surrounding interest rate hikes. While many experts believe that the attacks take any aggressive move by the Fed off the table, all of this news, including the expectation of higher oil prices, make for another turbulent week in the markets.
Geopolitical sell-offs are typically short-lived. Unless something has changed with your investment time horizon, objectives and risk tolerance, there is no compelling reason to change your investment discipline. Your portfolio is positioned to perform in this volatile environment, and we believe investors who stick with their investment strategy and maintain a diversified portfolio are prepared for future market shocks.
I am always available to evaluate your account and provide you with guidance amid market changes. Please give me a call if you would like to set up a meeting or to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have.
NOTE: Past performance is no guarantee of future results. While there is no assurance that a diversified portfolio will produce better returns than an undiversified portfolio, and it does not assure against market loss, a diversified portfolio can reduce a portfolio’s volatility and potential loss.
