Market Risk Reset

Definition

A market risk reset describes a significant adjustment in the overall risk perception and pricing across a financial market, leading to a re-evaluation of asset values. This event typically follows a period of heightened risk-taking or unsustainable valuations, prompting investors to adopt a more conservative stance. It can result in broad asset price corrections and a shift in capital allocation. Such resets are often driven by macroeconomic changes or unexpected market shocks.
