A look at history shows stock prices going up in wartime.﻿
Although there is no conclusive research on the reasons, there are some theories.
One argument is that the government spends more during the war. Increased spending benefits companies that have government contracts.
Also, increased government spending results in high inflation rates, hence higher interest rates.
