A low leverage environment describes a market condition where participants use relatively little borrowed capital to finance their investments. This situation implies reduced speculative activity and lower systemic risk, as forced liquidations due to price volatility are less frequent. Markets operating with low leverage tend to show more stable price movements and are generally considered healthier. It often follows periods of debt reduction.
