The tension of the possibility of war is compelling for the markets, and at the same time, there are concerns that it may cause a harder landing for the world at a stage where it is difficult to determine a policy after the pandemic plus the global inflation crisis. There are risk factors to be evaluated at different layers in a wide range from energy flow to financial system embargoes.
The United States is preparing 8,500 troops to support NATO forces in Eastern Europe. However, soldiers will not be sent to Ukraine at this stage.
