Major Security Indices The major indices have experienced increased volatility as concerns about China's growth rate, the Fed changing its rate policy and oil prices have made investors cautious. The markets began the new year with the worst performance ever but have rallied back since mid-February. Expectations for second quarter earnings are muted, however the rise in oil prices and weakening US Dollar could provide some positive surprises. U.S. economic data remains positive.
