War changes the rules of investing faster than just about any other macro event. It can boost oil prices, depress currencies, stoke inflation expectations, skew supply chains and divide markets into winners and losers.

The IMF also warned that oil and conflict conditions could push the global economy to a weaker scenario if disruption continues. The war-led oil shock has also resulted in large foreign outflows and a weaker rupee in Indian markets, Reuters reported.
