FX.co ★ The United States is preparing to impose sanctions against the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation

Although the fact that the West has imposed sanctions against the Russian Federation is unlikely to be reflected in the US stock market, nevertheless, this news cannot be ignored. Recall that the stock market is very sensitive to geopolitical conflicts. How does it work? For example, Apple, which is the most expensive company in the world and, accordingly, has a huge number of investors, is leaving the Russian market. In addition, several companies providing transportation refuse to deliver goods to Russia. What's happening? Part of the revenue that Apple received from Russia is being lost. Let it be only about 2-3%, but nevertheless. And that's only if we're talking about Apple. And if we take into account the shares of carrier companies, airlines (which lost a huge number of aircraft remaining in Russia), automobile manufacturers (which had their factories in Russia)? After all, all companies that refused to do business with Russia have suffered and will suffer losses. In addition, due to the conflict, oil and gas prices are rising, which are quite actively used in any production. And this means that the products will become more expensive, which obviously will not be perceived around the world "with a bang". Some countries painlessly tolerate price increases, as their central banks feed the economy with a stable currency. There are countries where the growth of prices in dollars will be critical for import indicators. Therefore, any geopolitical conflict and sanctions war is in any case a blow to private companies.

However, the sanctions war does not seem to stop yet. Given that the West and the European Union are imposing sanctions against Russia to stop military operations in Ukraine, it can be assumed that they will continue to be imposed. We have already talked about the new, sixth, package of sanctions from the European Union, which will include restrictions for the largest Russian bank Sberbank, as well as some restrictions on the oil and gas industry. In the States, they are going to impose sanctions that will hit the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. This was stated by Deputy Finance Minister Wally Adeyemo. "The next stage of our work will be actions to break up the Russian military machine, piece by piece. We will destroy their military-industrial complex and its supply chains. This is the only way to stop their aggression in Ukraine," Deputy Janet Yellen said. Adeyemo also noted that Ukraine's resistance lasted much longer than Moscow expected. Mainly thanks to the heroic efforts of the Ukrainian people and the support of Western countries. The Deputy Finance Minister also noted that the United States will continue to impose sanctions against Russia until Russian troops are completely withdrawn from Ukraine.
