To quote from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_risk

Market risk is the risk that the value of an investment will decrease due to moves in market factors. The four standard market risk factors are:

  • Equity risk, or the risk that stock prices will change.
  • Interest rate risk, or the risk that interest rates will change.
  • Currency risk, or the risk that foreign exchange rates will change.
  • Commodity risk, or the risk that commodity prices (i.e. grains, metals, etc.) will change.
