The New York Times says heightened war risk and unpredictability are likely to raise costs for businesses, with price increases feeding through to consumers.

The outlet warns the impact would be broad-based, affecting prices for everyday goods as well as more complex products, including food and electronics.

The core message is that even when companies try to adjust to risk, the added expense of operating in a more dangerous environment tends to persist, pushing up the overall cost of doing business.
