Hi, Iโ€™m Azeem Azhar. I convene Exponential View to help us understand how our societies and political economy will change under the force of rapidly accelerating technologies.

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป In todayโ€™s Chart of the Week we feature charts curated by a dynamic research duo known as InfoDJs, Gary Price and Curtis Michelson.

๐Ÿคฉ This year we celebrate seven years of Exponential View. To celebrate with us, forward this newsletter to seven friends or colleagues.

DEPT OF WAR IMPACTS

There is a lot going on in this Russian war against Ukraine, but in Charts of the Week, I want to zero in on some financial and commodities indicators.

Rouble crypto trades

As sanctions bit, rouble-crypto trades increased as Russians started to use bitcoin as a safe haven. As of Feb 28th, the volumes are miniscule ($60m per day). Source: Financial Times

Not just gas

The Russian invasion of Ukraine puts vast parts of global food supply at risk. More than 70% of sunflower oil is produced in the two sovereign nations. Source: The Wall Street Journal

Egypt is most vulnerable

Asia and Africa are particularly reliant on Russian and Ukrainian wheat, especially Egypt. Source: The Observatory of Economic Complexity
