Uncertainty has risen due to geopolitical tensions but also rising inflation and expected action from Fed. Discretionary trading risks have increased due to higher probability of random market fluctuations. Following strategies with sufficient diversification and tail risk protection is one way of navigating these markets. Risks of directional exposure to equities have increased significantly.
