Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Portfolio trembles when the markets shake
Every dollar dances to forces we can't fake
Three titans rule this financial maze
Interest rates climb, equity sways
Currency shifts in international trades

[Chorus]
Market risk strikes when prices collide
IRE - Interest, Risk, Equity ride
Currency swings from side to side
IRE burns bright, you can't hide
From the forces that make portfolios slide

[Verse 2]
When central banks whisper, bond prices scream
Rising rates murder your fixed-income dream
Stock indices tumble like autumn leaves
Your balanced basket suddenly grieves
As correlations tighten their weave

[Chorus]
Market risk strikes when prices collide
IRE - Interest, Risk, Equity ride
Currency swings from side to side
IRE burns bright, you can't hide
From the forces that make portfolios slide

[Bridge]
Systematic danger lurks in every trade
Beta measures how your stocks parade
When markets crash, diversification fades
All assets bleed in synchronized cascade
No single stock can escape this blade

[Verse 3]
Dollar strengthens, foreign holdings shrink
Exchange rate shifts faster than you think
Inflation whispers, real returns decline
Your paper profits vanish by design
While market forces realign

[Chorus]
Market risk strikes when prices collide
IRE - Interest, Risk, Equity ride
Currency swings from side to side
IRE burns bright, you can't hide
From the forces that make portfolios slide

[Outro]
Three pillars crumble when panic spreads
Interest, equity, currency threads
Weave the tapestry of market dread
Remember IRE when fear is fed
