The war in Ukraine is, however, showing up more acutely in certain areas of the market, most notably commodity prices, inflation and interest rates. Oil prices spiked as high as $116 per barrel last week, a level last seen in 2008. Uncertainties over global crude and natural gas supply have risen amid war in Ukraine and escalating sanctions on Russia.
