Devina Mehra: How hard do wars hit stock markets? What the historical record suggests
Coming to financial markets, we did this study just before the Russia-Ukraine war started in 2022. We went back over 50 years and looked at every single major geopolitical event: the two Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, 9/11, the US bombing Libya, etc. And what we found was that in every case, there was turmoil in stock markets just before and after the incident, but in six months to one year, markets had forgotten about the disruption.
