Frankfurt The United States and Britain have issued strong warnings that Russia could invade Ukraine in the coming days. And more and more players on the financial markets are now expecting a war in Europe. This is shown by assessments by market strategists that the Handelsblatt has exclusively compiled.
The renowned North American analysis company BCA Research is the clearest: “We have increased the probability of a Russian intervention from 50 to 75 percent,” says Matt Gertken, geopolitical strategist at the company in Montreal.
Efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict between Russia and the West are in full swing, including with German participation. Should there nevertheless be an invasion of Ukraine, experts believe that this should trigger shock waves on the markets.
The calculated scenarios are as follows: European stocks would collapse by up to ten percent, Brent oil would rise to $100 a barrel, and the price of gas would increase by up to a fifth.
