Description

A statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index.

Volatility measures the degree of variation in trading price series over time, often expressed as a standard deviation of returns. High volatility indicates larger price swings and is associated with higher risk, while low volatility suggests more stable prices. This metric is essential in option pricing, risk assessment, and in determining market sentiment.
