While PayPal rallied in the summer after the virus crash, its P/E Ratio was also spiking to an all-time high in mid-2020. Once earnings caught some momentum in 2021, PayPal’s price-to-earnings fell back in line with pre-pandemic levels as its price surged. But now in 2022, PayPal’s P/E ratio has fallen to an all-time-low, driven largely by a sell off, and is even lower than when PayPal debuted on public markets in 2015.

While the United States produces roughly 98% of its natural gas needs domestically, countries in the European Union are significantly more reliant on imports. With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine potentially eliminating a large amount of supply from the global equation, Europeans are paying never-before-seen prices for residential and commercial gas needs.

The US Dollar to Russian Ruble Exchange Rate already moved against Russia’s favor during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Ruble’s further depreciation in March 2022 is of a whole other sort. At one point, one ruble was worth just nine-tenths of a US cent; put differently, you’d need 105 rubles on hand to purchase a single US dollar. This move comes in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that global governments placed on Russia and its currency in response.
