Abstract

This paper investigates the initial market reactions to the February 2022 military escalation. We provide an overview while discriminating for different investment classes, shining light on the intensity of the geopolitical risk and on potential hedging properties of specific assets (such as gold and Bitcoin).Results deliver preliminary evidence supporting a more pronounced effect in the Eurozone and the UK stock markets, while gold and bitcoin showcase their resilience to war-induced negative economic effects.
