Geopolitical uncertainty in Europe (Ukraine-Russia conflict) combines with U.S. monetary policy tightening to create risk-off sentiment globally. Rising Treasury yields strengthen dollar dominance but signal Fed hawkishness that constrains emerging market capital flows. European energy security concerns amplify as conflict persists.
Similar to 1970s stagflation period when geopolitical crises (OPEC embargo, Cold War tensions) coincided with high inflation, forcing aggressive Fed tightening and market volatility.
