A lookback at 2016

26 July 2018

If you look at Brexit, everyone was expecting a massive volatility spike, but what happened was very short-term.

With Trump’s election, people expected the market to go down and the exact opposite happened. Pricing wise, the same thing happened: no real volatility spike.
