The Russo-Ukrainian War and the Currency Conflict
The Russian war in Ukraine caused
a state of uncertainty, which caused a great wave of flight from risky asset
markets to the list of safe havens, which positively reflected on the strength
of the US dollar, and gold, which continues to record highs, with the continued
demand of investors and financial surpluses as one of the Most important safe
havens.
The
US dollar is the backbone of the global economy and is the safest currency to
hold. Therefore, in times of uncertainty, investors and financial surplus
owners prefer to turn to the US green paper as one of the safe haven assets and
tools. A strong boost to the dollar from the Federal Reserve
Meanwhile,
natural gas prices in Europe hit record highs last week on concerns about what
will happen to energy exports from Russia, while the United States, itself a
major energy producer, is under fire for rising costs, but to a lesser extent.
The US economy also appears healthy, despite the high inflation, as 678,000
jobs were added during the month of February (February), according to recent
data from the US Department of Labor.

investors to abandon riskier markets, such as Brazil, Turkey or Mexico, and a
stronger dollar could add to the pressure.
