As we enter the third week of the crisis, the conflict in the Ukraine continues to dominate the financial headlines. And with Russia’s invasion of the nation, the world’s response has been swift. From sanctions and asset freezes to removing Russian stocks from portfolios, the financial retort to the invasion has been strong. Ultimately, these moves are set to severely punish the nation for its actions and stop the conflict before it gets even more serious.
The question is, what do all these moves mean for investors here at home?
We’ve already seen increased volatility due to the conflict. The hope is the contagion from the financial issues plaguing Russia won’t spread into the rest of the world’s economy. While the overall prognosis is good, some may come back to bite U.S. and global investors.
