If markets are the Winter Olympics, then equity trading is the downhill skiing event -- especially given the increasingly fast pace at which investors have to navigate two-way risks that come with volatility's rise toward long-term average levels.
That means today's European equities rebound from their worst week since January 2016 may not last long, given several uncertainties likely to keep volatility up. Further euro strength, for one, will complicate the outlook for the region's stocks. There's also risk posed by major central banks paring unprecedented stimulus, which could send bond yields further higher and inflict more pain on stocks. And while the presence of more price swings brings good news in some ways, traders will have to pick up the pace to capitalize on opportunities for gains.
