The former deputy head of the Russian Central Bank and director for macroeconomic research of the Higher School of Economics, Sergey Aleksashenko, believes that the expected US strike on Syria will not lead to major turmoil on the markets.
The expert told Ekho Moskvy radio on Wednesday that if the reports are true and President Obama has decided to abstain from a ground operation, the strike will probably last for a couple of days.
The oil markets will obviously react, but the situation will calm down soon, Aleksasheko says.
