Markets may look calm, but the real risks are hiding under the surface. In this episode of Trader Talk, Kenny Polcari sits down with Amy Wu Silverman, managing director and head of derivatives strategy at RBC Capital Markets, to break down why low short-term volatility may be lulling investors into a false sense of security. Silverman explains how longer-term volatility is quietly rising as traders hedge against growing risks like tariffs, recession fears, and geopolitical uncertainty. They also explore how social media, algorithms, and even fake headlines can ignite sudden market swings, leaving unprepared investors vulnerable.
Trader Talk with Kenny Polcari on Yahoo Finance delivers expert analysis and actionable insights, empowering you to navigate market volatility and secure your financial future.
