While hostilities along the Ukraine-Russian border appear to be heating up, expect markets to ignore it. Absent direct US or EU involvement, this conflict has virtually no relevance to western markets. This is similar to Syria, where once US involvement was removed, markets yawned. That said, this conflict will do large damage to the Ukrainian economy and may well push an already slow growing Russia into recession.
