Increased volatility and higher yields part of package that comes with market normalcy: DBS

SINGAPORE (Feb 7): Don't panic, markets are simply showing signs of normalcy with more volatility and higher yields despite ongoing bouts of risk aversion, says DBS.

For the past few years, volatility was suppressed via monetary policies by the G3 central banks amid downside risks to growth as well as inflation. But the market got used to this period of low rates.

However, things changed last year when synchronised global growth took hold and drove commodity prices up with it.
