Talk:Market risk

Comments
I am not sure where this conclusive list of market risk factors come from. Quote needed. And I clearly disagree. Depending on the structure of a product, anything which is either traded on a market (stock or bond prices, FX) or derived from the prices of something traded on a market (interest rates, volas, ...) may represent a market risk.

All this time I thought the only risk was that traders would get a margin call?

Why are two of the four limited to “stock or other index prices,” are these the only things that have what you are calling "market risk?"

What about the risk that the relationship between two contracts might change?

Or carrying charges, or 911, or just the risk that a trendline will break etc.

If you are redirecting “Risk (Futures)” here then you have to include “futures,” in the limited descriptionsGT


 * I think that 'list' is problematic too. I have reworded the intro and also added a proper, recognised definition. Furthermost (talk) 00:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Systemic risk
Anyone could explain clearly what is the difference between Market risk and systemic risk? They seem to be exactly the same thing to me but two different articles exist... Why? --Bombastus 11:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

because Idiosyncratic risk is encompassed within market risk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.194.85.209 (talk) 19:56, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

market risk factors
The article claims there are five standard market risk factors, but only four are listed. Either one is missing or the number must be wrong. Corrective? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.217.24.247 (talk) 17:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC) Market Risk and Systematic Risk are the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.6.66 (talk) 17:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Not All Word Must Begin With A CAPITAL Letter!!
This article had red links to Variance Covariance. Obviously those are inappropriate capitals. One of them said this:
 * Variance Covariance matrix.

The tiniest amount of common sense would make it obvious that for many years Wikipedia has had an article titled covariance matrix and a redirect to that article from variance-covariance matrix (with a hypen) and variance–covariance matrix (with an en-dash), and yet somehow someone failed to suspect that an obviously incorrect way of writing it would explain the red links.

Could some common sense be applied here. Michael Hardy (talk) 16:18, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
