Article Abstract:

Share prices may be affected by volatility. Daily fluctuations can give clues to investors about future performance. Volatility can vary according to external circumstances. It was low at the time of the second world war, and high in the mid 1970s. Very high levels of volatility tend to be linked to rises in share prices, as do extremely low levels of volatility. Volatility indicators for 1995 suggest that shares may not perform well in 1996.
