Researcher from University of Economics in Katowice Provides Details of New Studies and Findings in the Area of Risk Management (Stock Indices Breakdown during the Pandemic as the Most Dynamic Bear Market in History: Consequences for Individual …): Insurance – Risk Management

2022 DEC 09 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Current study results on risk management have been published. According to news reporting out of Katowice, Poland, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “The breakdown of stock indices is an obvious part of the financial market cycle.”

The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from University of Economics in Katowice: “A common question about a bear market is the time and the depth of the downtrend, as well as the speed of the following recovery. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread globally, it induced huge price drops in a very short period, and an uptrend with new historical highs afterwards. The results of this research show that the pandemic breakdown was the fastest bear market in history; however, it does not confirm that future downtrends will be at the same or even greater speed.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “The consequences for individual investors have forced them to prepare for possible similar market behavior in the future, and to adjust their trading techniques and strategies to these conditions.”
