How to enjoy volatility
Financial Express Hyderabad
|May 09, 2025
As always, and more than ever right now, anything can happen. Be more conservative than ever, use a structured hedging approach, and follow it with discipline
IT CAN'T BE repeated enough but the market is like the ocean — nobody can truly comprehend it and, from time to time, it can throw up sudden squalls that send volatility shooting higher. This process can turn self-sustaining for at least some time, as people who are caught wrong-footed have to unwind positions and take losses.
Over the last three months, rupee volatility (historic 100-day) has shot higher (to nearly 6%) from its 20-year low of around 1%, reached in November 2024. In the process, the rupee has bounced around wildly, hitting a low of nearly 88, recovering to 85, falling again to near 87 and then strengthening above 84 to the dollar, and is around 84.50 today.
