Markets also respond to uncertainty people cannot see

A market reaction may reflect fear of disruption before the full economic effect is known. Transport closures, energy shortages, conflict and cyber-enabled crime can change behaviour quickly, even when the final cost is still being measured.nnThe right response is not to treat every movement as a forecast.
