'It is too early to say what impact this out-performance in the current quarter will have on the outcome for 2020 given heightened levels of volatility in the market may not persist'. This is from this morning's Plus 500 tradiing update. PLUS500 are a spread and options broker. Even they appear to think that this current period of excessive volatility 'may not persist'.
I am convinced that what we are seeing is the market looking for a reason to sell off and the virus outbreak is that reason. Yes, it's a serious issue but it isn't a systemic threat compared to Oct 2008 when the global financial system teetered on the brink. This is a temporary phenomenon. If you have the cash then load up at lower prices
