Increased energy costs are expected to drive inflation higher, while supply constraints are reducing productivity, putting pressure on economic growth. Despite increased volatility in the Russell 2000 index skew, the overall market has remained calm during the early weeks of the conflict. Longer-term market expectations remain stable even as cease-fire talks begin, suggesting persistent risk premiums. Additionally, higher oil prices have pushed real yields up, increasing the opportunity cost of holding gold, which does not yield returns.
