TLDR
The article argues that despite war headlines and a 30% surge in Brent oil, asset markets like stocks and bonds have remained range-bound, suggesting risk premiums are tighter than in past shocks. The author plans to analyze how war dynamics may be underpriced across markets after closing a previous thematic view due to the conflict. • War and oil price spikes have not significantly moved asset markets, indicating potential underpricing of risk premiums. • The 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict is a key case study for understanding economic and market impacts of the current war. • Oil shipping disruptions could lead to knock-on effects like storage shut-ins and systemic risks in private credit. • The author closed the 'Easy Street' thematic view due to the war environment and will focus on war-related market underpricing.
