How The Russia-Ukraine Conflict Hits The U.S. Economy

Investor focus is on Russia invading Ukraine as uncertainty looms about how the conflict will affect financial markets. David Stryzewski says Russia’s attack will lead to a more significant impact on the U.S. economy as it pushes gas prices and inflation higher as well as dents consumer confidence. Stryzewski explains how the crisis is likely to intensify supply chain issues, and that the prices of commodities like wheat and aluminum, which are significant exports from the region, have already increased.
