Navigating High Market Volatility: Insights from JustMarkets

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — High volatility contributes to making one of the most active environments in the world of finance. In addition, prices fluctuate quicker; price ranges increase, and news and technical levels, as well as liquidity areas, have greater influence. The opportunity that such volatility offers is attractive for active traders who may find chances to benefit from it. However, there are risks as well.

Volatility requires traders to have a strategy and risk management in place. The ability to work quickly and to be prepared for changing conditions at any second becomes vital.

Why Volatility Requires a Different Approach

It is important to note that volatile market environments differ from those that exhibit low volatility. It could happen that prices break support and resistance levels quicker, spreads are wider, and more often stops are hit. Thus, techniques and approaches that have proven themselves effective in low-volatility environments might need adjustments.

Things that traders must consider include:

broader price rangequickly emerging breakout or reversal scenariosa strong reaction to economic figureshigh slippage potential

Scalping in Volatile Markets

Scalping is one of those approaches that concentrate on taking advantage of smaller price movements. Under high-volatility circumstances, scalping may become very appealing due to the fact that prices cover greater distances in lesser amounts of time.

At the same time, volatility means higher risks. Being slow or even just late on entering the market may negatively impact the efficiency of your scalping system. That is why scalping requires trading liquid assets, narrow spreads, and quick executions.

In terms of volatile markets, successful scalping might require the following elements:

trading during market hoursavoiding poorly structured marketshaving pre-defined entry and exit pointsreducing exposure periodcarefully controlling positions

News Trading and Event-Driven Volatility

Trading the news means paying attention to how the markets react to different news events that have an impact on the economy or certain asset classes. Price action is likely to be sudden when news regarding consumer price index, interest rates, employment, and oil supplies, among others, is released.

The problem is that the initial reaction may not necessarily indicate the final outcome. Prices may move in one direction and reverse later because traders realize that their initial assumption was wrong.

Risk Management During High Volatility

Volatility plays a crucial role in making risk management more relevant. When volatility grows, it can happen that usual stop-loss settings become too narrow, while overpositioning may result in quick capital reduction.

To handle this situation, traders use smaller sizes, set wider stops according to the market environment, avoid being overexposed to assets showing high correlation, and employ take-profits more actively.

Why Platform Infrastructure Matters

High volatility calls for an execution infrastructure that ensures good execution. In fast markets, it is necessary to have an infrastructure that provides good order processing and enables smooth access to price information.

The JustMarkets trading platform has been designed to meet the needs of traders who use a trading style that benefits from high volatility markets. The trading infrastructure, which is very reliable, offers the following functionalities: efficient trading orders, risk management tools, real-time charting, stop losses, and take profits.

Conclusion

High volatility is a source of opportunity, but also requires discipline and organization. Because experienced traders do not merely react to market activity. Rather, they organize themselves for market action and employ the right strategy and technology.

Risk Warning: Trading Forex and CFDs involves significant risk and can result in the loss of your invested capital. This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

June 12, 2026

MUMBAI, India, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AU Small Finance Bank (AU SFB), India’s largest Small Finance Bank and the first institution in over a decade to receive in-principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to transition into a Universal Bank, has significantly enhanced its Foreign Currency Non-Resident [FCNR (B)] deposit rates, with the peak USD deposit rate increasing from 5.15% p.a. to 7.10%* p.a., effective June 10, 2026. This revision underscores the Bank’s strategic focus on strengthening its NRI franchise amid rising demand for stable foreign currency deposits and diversified funding sources.

FCNR deposits remain a key channel for mobilising overseas Indian savings into India, while offering protection against exchange rate fluctuations.

Available in US Dollars, FCNR deposits offer NRIs a fully repatriable investment avenue with income tax exemption in India on both principal and interest, along with attractive returns on overseas earnings.

Further strengthening its NRI proposition, AU SFB has also introduced zero forex margin and zero bank charges on eligible inward and outward remittances, placing it among the few private sector banks in India to eliminate embedded forex mark-ups that can typically erode up to 2% of transfer value.

Under this proposition, customers benefit from currency conversion at the Bank’s Interbank Reference Rate (IBR) with no additional transaction charges. This significantly enhances the efficiency of cross-border money movement for NRIs. With a compelling combination of high USD-denominated returns, zero-cost remittances, and seamless servicing, AU SFB is well positioned as a preferred banking partner for NRIs seeking efficient wealth management and savings solutions in India.

Dragonpass APAC Loyalty Index: 53% of High-Income Consumers Say Bank Rewards No Longer Match Their Lifestyle Needs

Published

52 minutes ago

June 12, 2026

SINGAPORE, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For years, loyalty programmes across banking, credit card, and financial institutions have been built around a familiar formula: collect points, unlock perks, repeat. But across Asia-Pacific, consumers are beginning to expect something different.

According to the APAC Loyalty Index released by Dragonpass, the region’s loyalty economy is rapidly shifting away from transactional rewards toward lifestyle relevance, emotional trust, and everyday utility. The study, which surveyed consumers across Southeast Asia and China, found that while “trust” remains the foundational driver of brand loyalty, consumers increasingly demand value that feels immediate and personalised.

The results highlight growing fatigue with traditional loyalty mechanics in the region. While 80% of respondents stay loyal to their bank because it is the most secure option for their money, 28% say their loyalty rewards simply do not match their lifestyle — and a striking 53% of high-income earners find their current loyalty rewards are misaligned with their actual needs.

Travel and Digital Concierge as the New Loyalty Levers

The Index highlights that travel remains the most powerful tool for customer retention. Younger consumers and affluent segments demonstrated a strong preference for integrated digital concierge services, premium travel experiences, and personalised lifestyle benefits. This highlights the convergence of financial services and lifestyle ecosystems across APAC markets.

“The traditional loyalty model was designed around transactions, but consumers today demand something far more intuitive and integrated into their lifestyle,” said John Su, Group CGO & APAC CEO of Dragonpass. “They expect their banks or financial providers to play an active role in their everyday lives. This is exactly where we have invested heavily, not only in spanning our global travel, dining, and premium lifestyle services, but in the technology that is designed precisely to close this gap, helping financial institutions deliver relevant, real-time value at every stage of the customer lifecycle.”

For banks, fintechs, and payment brands, the implications are significant. As competition intensifies and switching barriers continue to fall, loyalty is increasingly becoming a strategic growth lever rather than a marketing add-on. The brands most likely to retain high-value customers may ultimately be those that can turn loyalty from a points programme into a seamless part of consumers’ lifestyles.
