Usage Note
Volatilità is invariable in the plural (like all Italian nouns ending in an accented vowel — le volatilità). It is used in financial contexts (volatilità dei mercati) and in chemistry/physics (ease of vaporization). The written accent signals final stress. Compare instabilità (instability), which is broader; volatilità implies rapid, unpredictable fluctuation.
Examples
"La volatilità del mercato preoccupa gli investitori."

Market volatility worries investors.
