Zed Francis on How Market Risk and Volatility Have Changed

Schwab Network

“It’s absolutely amazing to be honest.” Zed Francis looks at realized volatility over the past few months. “Risks used to be centered in a handful of institutions that reacted in a very similar fashion, ie banks…now risk is spread around,” which can mute market reactions. He also discusses hard economic data vs soft data and what they’re telling markets. He thinks tariffs will have “benign” effects on megacaps this quarter.
