War: Bigger Inflation & Recession Shocks, Rate-Hikes Are Smaller Authored by Patrick Hill via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, (The Ukraine War) “means a bigger inflation shock, a smaller rates shock, and a bigger recession shock.” - Bank of America Corp. chief strategist Michael Hartnett, 3-4-22 The war triggers a huge surge in oil prices, consumer sentiment is already falling, and the Fed is likely to raise rates slowly because of the war. We examine how: economic sanctions can cause inflation during wartime, consumer sentiment declining, real retail sales under pressure, GDP is weakening, and a unique oil price ratio to 10 – 2-year bond spread indicates a coming recession. Severe Economic Sanctions Against Russia Enacted After weeks of planning, as the Russian forces massed on the Ukraine border, it became evident to Western leaders that they must act. During the first few days of the war, the European Union and the U.S. set in motion economic sanctions, including freezing significant oligarch assets in western banks, including Vladimir Putin’s assets, freezing four important Russian bank assets in the west, and cutting off Russian access to the inter-banking SWIFT system.

BANGKOK: Thousands of Russian tourists in Thailand are struggling to find a route home, Thai officials said on Sunday, as international sanctions imposed over the war in Ukraine hit holiday-makers. Russia’s invasion in February provoked a host of international measures targetting businesses and banks, with some Russian carriers cancelling flights and global payment firms suspending services. Russians tourists have been among the largest group of visitors to return to Thailand’s beachside resorts since pandemic restrictions eased, but many now find themselves without a return ticket. Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) official Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya said 3,100 Russians were stuck in Phuket, while just over 2,000 were in Samui, and smaller numbers were in Krabi, Phang Nga and Bangkok. The ministry was working on helping those who wanted to return home, he said, including “discussion on return flights which could be regular or special flights”. Russian tourist and mother-of-three Evgenia Gozorskaia said her family discovered their return Aeroflot tickets had been cancelled. “We are very nervous because the children are very small, we don’t have enough money to live here,” said the 41-year-old psychologist who arrived from Moscow with her husband and children — aged seven, four and two — on February 27. “We want to go tomorrow to the airport, but I don’t know what the situation will be,” she said from Phuket, adding that they were supposed to fly home March 28.
