Volatility refers to the degree of variation or fluctuation in the price of a financial instrument, asset, or market over a specific period of time. It is commonly used to measure the level of risk or uncertainty associated with the price changes of stocks, currencies, commodities, or other securities. High volatility means that prices move up and down quickly and by large amounts, while low volatility indicates more stable and predictable price movements. Volatility is often expressed as a percentage and can be calculated using statistical measures such as standard deviation or variance.
