Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -0.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +16.30.
The S&P 500 futures trade roughly in-line with fair value after Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov said there's a chance for an agreement on security issues. The S&P 500 futures were trading as low as 1.2% below fair value on continued fears of Russia invading Ukraine.
The news comes after there were no reported changes in diplomatic relations over the weekend and a White House statement indicating that President Biden warned Russian President Putin that the U.S. and its allies would respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia if it invades Ukraine.
The Treasury market has been a little bit more reserved. The 2-yr yield is up three basis points to 1.55%, and the 10-yr yield is unchanged at 1.96%. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.1% to 96.16. WTI crude futures are down 0.6% to $92.55/bbl. Natural gas futures are up 3.8% to $4.09/MMBtu.
Separately, shares of Splunk (SPLK 124.47, +9.96, +8.7%) are up 9% in pre-market action after The Wall Street Journal reported that Cisco (CSCO 53.55, -0.35, -0.7%) is aiming to purchase the company for $20 billion. Bullard CNBC interview at 8:30 et
