Its definitely a possibility. Russia is a major exporter of oil, and if the Georgia / Russia conflict leads to economic sanctions, that could lead to massive spikes in oil prices, which would heighten the already problematic inflation issue. With inflation on the rise, it would become harder for the USA to deal with both the slowing economic growth, and the rising inflation - they'd be between a rock and a hard place on that issue. Theirs a lot of ifs, coulds, and probablys there so its unlikely to turn out exactly as i said, but it definitely won't have a positive effect on the market.

I do not think it will affect for the market.
Factors to watch:
Higher US dollar
Lower commodity prices and lower inflation
World growth rate
Demand for product and services
Interest rate
Strong Action by Market players- They can change the market direction irrespective of making profit or not and against supply and demand theory.
Market sentiments and crowd behavior
World political and economic problems such world wars
Above factors can change the market direction. Even during first world war there was good demand for some stocks.

The Spat is likely to simmer down
The trend in reducing oil and commodity prices is downwards and not likely to reverse.
Speculative trends indicate bear market in oil to get reinforced more sharply.
There is unlikely to be any significant effect of this policy on oil prices in any upward way.
