Continued Atrocities in Ukraine

March 13, 2022

From the desks of Stanley Katz & Lauren Madera

STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY!

Certainly, the atrocities in Ukraine have our utmost attention. It makes it easy to understand why all three major US stock market indices lost ground again last week (i.e., DJIA: -2.00%, S&P 500: -2.88%, Nasdaq: -3.54%), leaving the year-to-date results -9.34%, -11.79% and -17.90% respectively. WHEW! The surge in oil prices taxes all consumers (through higher gasoline prices, for example), putting additional pressure on consumers’ wallets. In addition, the Federal Reserve meets this week with a much anticipated Fed Funds rate hike of at least 0.25%. With the economy already starting to slow down, an explanation may be necessary as to what a rate hike will do to squelch war-induced energy price increases and supply-chain-induced inflation!  Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s “Where Russia Matters Most” link below provides some interesting insights.

With the war top of mind, the Schwab commentary “Fog of War” broadens the perspective on its impact globally.  Click the link below for a good read.

Below are links to a number of third-party research reports that we have read and analyzed over the past week. We hope you will find the information interesting, useful, and worthwhile.
