On February 3rd, financial markets saw their first spike in volatility in over seven years which rattled the cage of traders and investors across asset classes. Well over $2 trillion were wiped off portfolios in a very short period and while assets have rebounded since then and recovered losses, it opened up discussions about what will be next for financial markets. The preceding period of low volatility was unprecedented and while the majority may have felt comfortable, professionals have warned about the dangers.
