Maybe up my shares in British Gas or ponder looking at a company who makes body bags what with covid and the prospect of a war 😆 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,686 Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Fertiliser prices will go through the roof, Russia supplies a frightening percentage of key nitrate chemicals. This will push up agricultural commodity prices across the board. Expect mining companies to do well too, especially those with Rare Earth production. Gold is an obvious beneficiary but the price is so high already that I'd worry about returns. This might be a time to speculate in fracking operators or uranium miners. Periods of social upheaval are always opportunities for investment. There's money to be made if you can make the right decisions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,871 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 10% of the world's wheat comes from Ukraine, I just heard. So that'll be the price of a pan loaf going up even more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that'll be the price of a pan loaf going up even more. ... and Russia produces 13% so nearly a quarter of the worlds wheat production under threat as i'm sure imports of Russian wheat will be affected. But mainly it is gas and oil. I heard one pundit describe the Russian economy as "one giant petrol station" and this is where the focus will probably be, although can Europe cope without Nordstream 2 let alone any disruption from Nordstream 1? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
