Question asked 17/10/2026

YEAR TO DATE

Good Morning, Well, it has sometimes felt like the "year of waiting" this year. I'm not a day trader, so I suppose I'm more susceptible to the highs and lows by holding stocks. But the All Ords began the year at 9208 and went through 8686, 9430, 8571 and 9445 to be at 8921 as I write, down about 3%. That to me is very volatile. Is this our market now or do you see things settling down into 2027? Thanks gents.
