Stock Market Volatility in Perspective

Submitted by Affiance Financial on November 5th, 2018

We believe the stock market’s 10% decline from the September 20th high is due to a confluence of three major fears for investors.

Third is the fear of trade wars, especially with China. We believe that recent stock market weakness reflects temporary risks and is NOT a precursor to deeper economic problems.
