The first quarter was quite eventful for Wall Street, but the war in Eastern Europe was clearly a standout. Geopolitical tensions rattled financial markets, weighed on equities, and sparked a commodity price shock after the United States and its allies imposed heavy economic costs on Russia for invading Ukraine.

That owed to a rising risk premium and disruptions in energy trade flows after major international buyers began to ostracize Russian crude to avoid becoming entangled in sanctions indirectly.
