There are several standard market risk factors, including:

• Equity Risk: the risk that share prices will change.

• Commodity Risk: the likelihood that a commodity price, such as that of a metal or grain, will change.

• Currency Risk: the probability that foreign exchange rates will change.

• Interest Rate Risk: the risk that interest rates will go up or down.

• Inflation Risk: the risk that overall rises in prices of goods and services will undermine the value of money, and probably adversely impact the value of investments.
