VOLATILITY...It’s a Balancing Act | News or Noise with Chris Perras

2022 has been a mess across virtually every asset class globally.  Except for a few industries like domestic utilities, and a few energy-related commodities like natural gas or lithium, asset class returns have been negative year to date and highly volatile at the same time.  Music to the ears of short-term traders, but the worst of both worlds to most longer-term investors.

Year to date, there is almost no asset class I can find that has escaped a year of high volatility and negative returns.  A few that have are the dollar currency and domestic utilities, and energy-related equities and their commodities.  Unfortunately, neither of these categories make up a large portion of the indexes here in the states, so every broad index I track here in the states is down year to date.
