Please click the link below to view Shane Oliver's article outlining the implications of the war in Ukraine on investors.

Key points raised are:

• The situation regarding Ukraine is at high risk of getting worse before it gets better for investment markets
• The key is how much Russian exports are disrupted and whether NATO forces avoid the conflict
• Five big picture implications are likely to be

  • reduced globalisation
  • higher commodity prices
  • higher inflation and
  • higher interest rates over the medium term
•  Australian shares have so far been more resilient thanks to higher commodity prices and strong dividends
