https://www.briefing.com/stock-market-update Futures selling off after Russia attacks Ukraine

24-Feb-22 07:55 ET

Market is Closed

[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -101.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -430.80.

U.S. equity index futures are down more than 2.0% after Russia attacked Ukraine with explosions reported in multiple cities. The S&P 500 futures are down 101 points and trade 2.4% below fair value while the Nasdaq 100 futures trade 3.2% below fair value.

Stocks in Asia closed sharply lower while stocks in Europe are selling off with U.S. futures -- Russia's MOEX Index is down 34%, versus a 3.8% decline in the Europe Stoxx 600. Cryptocurrencies are also weak with bitcoin down 9% to approximately $35,000.

Money is flowing into safe-haven assets like the 10-yr Treasury note, which is yielding 11 basis points lower at 1.87%, as well as commodities. WTI crude futures are up 7.4% to $98.94/bbl. The 2-yr yield is down 12 basis points to 1.48%. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 1.0% to 97.11.

Russian President Putin issued a dire warning to anyone who tries to interfere with Russia's plans while President Biden said the U.S. and allies will impose severe sanctions on Russia. Chinese state media blamed the U.S. and rejected the term "invasion," according to CNBC.

Things are looking bleak, and investors are bracing for further downside, evidenced by the 19.5% spike in the CBOE Volatility Index to 37.06.

Today's data might disappear into the background with all eyes on the Russia-Ukraine situation. Investors will receive weekly Initial Claims (Briefing.com consensus 240,000) and the second estimate for Q4 GDP (Briefing.com consensus 7.0%) at 8:30 a.m. ET, followed by New Home Sales for January (Briefing.com consensus 805,000) at 10:00 a.m. ET.
