Bottom line:
The S&P 500 industrial index was up 3.48% over the past year, but it declined 3.42% YTD. The US market has been choppy amid spiraling high inflation and supply concerns this year.
The Russia-Ukraine war has caused further supply disruptions, pushing the prices of essential commodities even higher. Hence, investors should exercise due diligence before shopping in the equity market.
