What Is Fluctuation?

The definition of fluctuation can be interpreted as an instability or imbalance of something. In an economic context, agility is often associated with the price or value of a product. However, not only that, the severity is also associated with several things. In simple terms, it can be interpreted that fluctuations are an indication of several factors so that there are price fluctuations.
 
For example, fluctuations in the rupiah against the dollar or the dollar's volatility against the rupiah, to the volatility of gold prices per year. Because, failure is a symptom of the rise and fall of positions, which are declared unstable or unbalanced.
 
Often susceptible to being influenced by various things. If the meaning of the word fluctuation is as explained above, then what is the meaning of economic resilience in the opinion of experts? The following will explain some of the definitions of obedience that are often used in several fields:

Fluctuations in the Economic Sector

In the economic sector, according to experts, fluctuations are irregular fluctuations in the amount (value). Economic volatility is the movement of product prices that swing up or down.
 
Meanwhile, another meaning of volatility in the economy is also the ebb and flow of the value of a price that occurs unexpectedly and cannot be predicted. These economic fluctuations are closely related to changes in the amount or quantity of something, such as the volatility of Indonesia's gold price, the volatility of the dollar exchange rate and the volatility of the rupiah value.

Fluctuations and Business Cycles

There are other meanings related to fluctuations, such as in a business cycle. The business cycle is a condition that describes the ups and downs of the production of goods and services in the economic sector. 

In the business cycle, volatility is the rise and fall of real gross domestic product (GDP) adjusted for inflation. The business cycle cannot be equated with the market cycle, because the market cycle is measured using the stock market index. Meanwhile, the business cycle is different because it refers to the irregular rise and fall of the amount of value.
 
In addition to the meaning of fluctuations in the economic sector, there are also several definitions of fluctuations that are used in other sectors. For comparison, it will be discussed briefly related to the use of corruption in sectors other than the economy and the business world.

Definition of Fluctuations in Other Sectors

Other sectors or disciplines other than economics that often use the term fluctuation are the world of medicine and geography. The definition of obedience is a medical dictionary, which shows the ups and downs of a patient's health condition in a certain disease. The term weakness is often used by doctors, to inform their patients regarding their health conditions.

There is also the term abscess fluctuation. Abscess fluctuations are a specific health condition, almost the same as severity in medical terms. An abscess is a condition of the body's natural reaction due to the resistance of the immune system to infections that attack certain tissues. It usually occurs in skin health and so on. The occurrence of ups and downs in abscesses in the body occurs and is unpredictable.
 
Meanwhile, in geography, the term fluctuation is a change in temperature over a large range in a short period of time or that occurs instantaneously. Fertility conditions in geography are used to measure changes in temperature and weather in a given area in different seasons. After knowing the meaning of the word fluctuation, in various sectors and disciplines.

Before entering the next discussion, we must also know the difference between fluctuations and volatility. Because, often many are confused regarding the two terms. Fluctuation is a term used to refer to a condition or state that is not fixed, changeable and often rises and falls. Meanwhile, fluctuation is often used to refer to something that has symptoms of abjectness.
 
More precisely, fluctuation is the nature of fluctuations that occur in a thing. By knowing the type of word, we will no longer be confused about distinguishing the word fluctuating or fluctuating. Then, if the disorder is a symptom or condition. So what are the factors that cause fluctuations? Here's the explanation. Before that, ask questions about trading through the Trader Assessment and find out what you didn't know! 

Examples of Fluctuation

Fluctuations are influenced by the existence of a market mechanism that can be in the form of an increase or decrease. To be clearer, here are some examples of fluctuations that occur in several things:
  • In a war situation that can result in uncertainty regarding the value of energy stocks. Moreover, oil is on the international market.
  • There are a number of problems that can cause uncertainty in domestic fish stocks.
  • A number of scientists have concluded that temperatures can also experience uncertainty. This will result in the spread of infectious diseases and will also affect the need for something in society.

Factors Causing the Occurrence 

There are several factors that cause the occurrence of inequality in the economic and business sectors. As explained above, fluctuating means a symptom of the rise and fall of a value or price. So there is definitely a cause for these symptoms. The cause of fluctuations cannot be separated from the benchmark value or price set by the government. The value and price are not well responded to by the community.

This causes a decrease or rise and fall in price (value). After experiencing these conditions, usually business people have policies and strategies to overcome them. Among them, determining the increase or decrease in product prices. Fluctuations in business usually occur in the agricultural/plantation, mining, stock and currency exchange sectors.

In each of these sectors, the meaning of the word kelabilan is still the same, which refers to a condition and symptom of the rise and fall of a value and price. First, in the agriculture/plantation sector, the abundant availability of agricultural/plantation products will affect the price of these agricultural/plantation products. In addition, if people do not really need these agricultural products, the price will increasingly experience unclear ups and downs.

Likewise in the mining sector, for example gold. There are often fluctuations in gold prices, even this has happened until now. Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, the volatility of gold prices in 2020, 2021 to today's gold prices has undergone very drastic changes up and down. The example of gold volatility is a description of the rapid change in the rise and fall of a price. Likewise with stock fluctuations and currency exchange rate fluctuations.

If it is a stock price, stock price is a condition that rises and falls in stock prices, which occurs due to the strength of supply and demand from investors. The higher the demand, the higher the price will be, this is also known by another term, namely demand volatility. Demand fluctuations are symptoms that occur in price changes resulting from the strength of supply and demand.

The higher the demand, the higher the price will rise, if the demand is less, the price will fall. Therefore, demand failure is a symptom that occurs due to cause and effect. Meanwhile, currency fluctuations or fluctuations in the rupiah exchange rate have different conditions. Currency fluctuations are the ups and downs in the price of one currency relative to another.

The price change is caused by the demand and supply in the market for a particular currency compared to another. The meaning of money exchange rate fluctuations is very closely related to the demand and supply of currency. This is also often referred to as the term foreign exchange weakness, or dollar weakness or rupiah elasticity, depending on the currency that changes.

As Indonesians, we often hear news related to the weakening of the rupiah against the dollar, which means that the price of the rupiah is moving against the dollar. It can move up, or move down. Some of the areas where fluctuations often occur that have been described above, in general, are caused by several things that cause them, namely:

  1. There is an increase or decrease in the price of the product.

  2. The price of using production technology that aims to increase production can be the cause of failure.

  3. The lack of export demand can have an impact on market price adjustments, this can also be the cause of failure.

  4. Seasonal and weather factors can also be factors that cause the price of a product. Because in certain seasons it can affect the distribution and availability of products.

  5. Fluctuations in the mining sector, in this case gold is often volatile and unstable. This is influenced by the exchange rate of money from rupiah to dollar.

After knowing the factors that cause fluctuations in several fields, the phenomenon of rising and falling a price can of course have a big impact, especially on business investment.

The Impact of Price Fluctuations on Business Investment

Because fluctuations are a condition of rising and falling prices in the context of economics and business, what are the impacts or influences of price volatility on business investment? The influence of poverty has a great impact on business investment. However, it must first be seen the shape and degree of fluctuation. If the fluctuation that occurs is an increase in price, then it will automatically increase investors.
 
On the other hand, if the volatility that occurs is a price decline, then it will make investors stay away. If investors force investment when prices are rising, then investors are betting on the production of goods on a large scale but the demand from consumers is very small. If this condition occurs, it is likely that investors will continue to invest capital.

Because the capital of the investors will remain attached to the company, while betting that they will get high profits or profits. However, it is different if the condition is the opposite. If it is in a condition of price fluctuations, investors will be hesitant to invest their capital in the company. Although at the same time there will be an increase in demand and a decrease in prices.
 
However, sometimes the profits obtained by investors are less, even not in accordance with the duration of time, from the time the first investment is made until the profit is obtained. From the explanation above, it can be concluded that price fluctuations can greatly affect business investment. However, it depends on the form of the degree itself. Both the volatility of rising prices and falling price fluctuations will have a different impact on each investor who invests.

In contrast to price fluctuations in business investments, there is also an impact of the volatility of money values on the prices of goods. One of the most feared impacts is that currency volatility will have a major impact on the prices of imported goods. The lower the rupiah to dollar exchange rate, the more it will increase the price of imported goods. Because, Indonesia's foreign trade uses the US dollar as its means of payment.
 
Therefore, the exchange rate of the rupiah against the dollar has a great influence on foreign trade, especially on the prices of imported goods that are needed by the community. This will also make it more difficult for people to get their needs. If the conditions of economic fluctuations can have a bad impact on the economy. So is there a way to overcome economic weakness? Check out some of the ways below.

How to Cope with Economic Fluctuations

Every economic condition always has a way out and how to overcome it. Including how to deal with economic fluctuations. Here are some ways to overcome economic poverty. Especially the failures that occur in the fields of agriculture and plantations, mining, and so on. Here are various ways to overcome it:
  1. In the field of agriculture and plantations, farmers can make new combinations of various commodities on one land using agroforestry systems. That way, farmers do not only rely on one commodity with one agricultural system. When one commodity fluctuates, another commodity can be an alternative.
  2. In the mining sector, for example coal, producers are obliged to be efficient by reducing the stripping ratio which causes swelling production costs. So, when failure is inevitable, the production costs that have been saved can be saved as an alternative. For gold mining, the price of gold is highly related to the value of the dollar. The more stable the value of the dollar against the rupiah, the more stable the price of gold will be to avoid fluctuations.
  3. Avoid conducting transactions to buy and sell production goods through middlemen or intermediaries. Because it can damage the price of goods and fluctuate. Fluctuating is the condition of production goods that are experiencing ups and downs. Producers will also get more profits, and buyers can get cheaper prices, if the transaction process does not go through middlemen.
  4. Always do careful financial management, this aims to be able to save production costs to be smaller than sales costs. The cost savings can be allocated to alternative funds to be used as unexpected expenses if bad conditions occur.
How important it is to know what fluctuations are and how they are affected and how to overcome them. Because, fluctuations are conditions that can occur at any time, by knowing everything exactly what fluctuations are like, we can prepare various steps to overcome them.
