Market Risk

Summary

The risk of losses in financial markets due to changes in market prices, including equity, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices.

Detailed Description

Market risk, often referred to as systematic risk, arises from fluctuations in the market that can affect the overall portfolio value. Unlike specific risks, which can be mitigated through diversification, market risk is inherent to the entire market and cannot be eliminated through investment strategies. It is an important consideration for all investors and is a critical factor in the pricing of assets and risk management.
