Ken Fisher Details How Regional Conflicts Impact Stocks

Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer Ken Fisher discusses how regional conflicts impact stocks and capital markets. Fears of potential conflicts between Russia and Ukraine or China and Taiwan may garner headlines, but Ken says regional conflicts don’t tend to cause bear markets.

According to Ken, a long history of regional conflicts and stock prices demonstrate a fairly consistent pattern—markets reflect early pre-conflict fear, which often transitions to market relief once fighting begins and proves limited in geographic scale.
