DSIJ Mindshare

On Monday morning the markets fell sharply, as the Asian markets globally plunged by 3 per cent amidst weaker global cues. The International Monetary Fund, on Saturday, said that the war between Russia and Ukraine will have a severe effect on the global economy as the commodities prices have already surged, coupled with the harm to human life and the unprecedented sanctions on Russia. 

On Thursday morning the markets opened lower only to plunge deep as the day advanced. The bear tightens its grip over the global markets as Russia advances its efforts to invade East Ukraine despite all the warnings from the USA and the United Nations. This has led to a surge in crude oil prices hitting a 7-year high and has almost crossed the USD 100 per barrel mark.
