Impact of the Russian mercenary uprising on financial markets - higher commodity prices and pressure on stock markets.

According to a report by The Shareholder, the armed uprising by Russian mercenaries against their own government is expected to have an impact on financial markets. Experts believe this will lead to rising oil and raw material prices as well as pressure on the stock market.

The escalation of the political situation in Russia could lead to an increase in oil and raw material prices. Despite the embargo against Russia, the country still sells many raw materials to friendly countries like China, which affects global supplies. A rise in oil prices would in turn weigh on stocks and revive fears of stagflation.

This time, experts believe it's possible that geopolitical shocks like this could have a longer-term impact on the US stock market, as stocks are already at high levels. In addition, the political unrest in a raw materials country like Russia is expected to lead to a short-term shock in the prices of the raw materials produced there.

The weekend DAX was lower on Sunday morning than on Friday and was down 3.2 percent for the week. The DAX is expected to fluctuate below the 16,000 point mark in the coming days. The renewed fear of interest rates and the recent interest rate increases by the US Federal Reserve and other central banks could influence investors' risk appetite.

The effects of the political situation in Russia could also have an impact on the economy. Stock markets are expected to have to process these new interest rate prospects and the impact on the economy. If the economy appears relatively stable in the coming weeks, the markets could quickly turn upwards again.

There are fewer highlights on the agenda in the coming days, but June consumer prices in Germany and the euro zone could provide fresh insight into the ECB's fight against inflation. The Ifo business climate, which is expected to have fallen further in June, will also be published.

The first half of the year was above average for equity investors. As we move into July, there could be potential for a change in investor favorites as large investors take profits and rebalance their positions. In addition, the famous “summer slump” with reduced volumes during the holiday season is imminent.
