How to use "Volatile" in context?
Volatile is a perfect word to describe something that is highly unstable. These types of things can change quickly and unpredictably, which makes them difficult to control. Things that are volatile can include stock prices, political situations, and even the weather.
Because volatility is so unpredictable, it can be hard for people to make decisions based on it. This can lead to problems in business and financial markets, as well as in relationships.
Despite its unpredictability, volatility can be an important part of the economy. It helps to keep prices stable, and it allows companies and investors to make investments quickly and easily.
