WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON STOCKS, THE MONKEY WAY π
Monkey sees war getting worse.
Monkey asks: βWhy stocks go down?β
Because war can threaten oil supply and shipping.
Oil goes up in value.
Expensive oil means transportation and production cost more, which can push inflation higher.
Now investors worry interest rates stay higher for longer.
Bond yields rise.
Higher yields make stocks less attractive.
Monkey isnβt just scared of the war.
Monkey is scared of expensive oil and higher rates.
