How it's used
Primarily used in financial journalism and economic discussions, this term describes capital that moves rapidly between markets to exploit interest rate differences or currency fluctuations. It carries a negative connotation of instability, as the sudden withdrawal of such funds can cause significant market volatility.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general investment capital, as it specifically refers to speculative, short-term funds that lack long-term commitment to the local economy.
