News Topical, Digital Desk : Amid the ongoing chaos in global markets due to the Iran war, the SEBI chairman has advised small investors to remain patient. According to him, volatility is a natural feature of the market. SEBI chief Tuhin Kant Pandey said on Saturday that volatility is a natural feature of financial markets and the true test of a market is its ability to continue to function fairly and efficiently even under stressful conditions.

According to him, history has shown that fluctuations are not permanent, so maintaining proper market functioning in this challenging environment is crucial. He believes that the Indian market will continue to grow rapidly.

Impact of Global Uncertainty The Chairman stated that the current global economic environment is being influenced by several factors that are reshaping markets. These include geopolitical tensions, technological change, and the rapid flow of information. He said, "If today's markets were to be described in one word, it would be uncertainty." According to the Chairman, geopolitical tensions are increasingly impacting economic relations. The ongoing conflict in West Asia has disrupted energy supplies, leading to increased volatility in global oil and gas markets. He also noted the impact of rapid information dissemination, noting that today's markets operate in an information-heavy environment where news spreads quickly and influences investor behavior. He said, "News travels fast, opinions spread even faster, and most importantly, markets now react almost instantly to any story or news.

Volatility doesn't last forever ." The SEBI Chairman said that markets experience turmoil during global crises, but history shows that such volatility is not permanent. He said, "One thing is clear: periods of extreme volatility don't last forever." Citing examples like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, he said that markets experienced significant fluctuations during these events, but over time, they stabilized. For retail investors, he advised that maintaining patience is the best strategy during times of uncertainty.
