Market View
The international community condemned the actions in Butja, Ukraine, looking to impose a new wave of sanctions. It is unclear what measures the West will take on Russia, particularly since Germany does not want to impose measures that would hurt the German/European population. That likely also means that a full embargo on gas and oil is questionable, but the issue will be discussed today according to Eurogroup head Donohoe. Media reported that France and Germany may want to expel Russian embassy staff. US President Biden aide said that they would impose new sanctions on Russia this week. Bloomberg reported that the US Treasury halted dollar payments from Russian government accounts at US financial institutions.
Equities were higher on Monday, largely led by growth stocks on both sides of the Atlantic. Communication services and technology stocks led the gains while defensives and banks underperformed. Dow Jones closed up +0.3%, S&P500 +0.8% and NASDAQ 1.9%. US futures have dipped into negative territory this morning.

Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
