Understanding Currency Volatility
Currency volatility measures the degree of variation in exchange rates over time. Annualized volatility expresses the standard deviation of daily returns scaled to a yearly figure. A currency with 10% annualized volatility means its exchange rate typically fluctuates within a 10% range over a year.
Low-volatility currencies (like SGD, CNY) tend to be managed by central banks or pegged to other currencies. High-volatility currencies (like TRY, BRL) often reflect economic instability, high inflation, or political uncertainty.
