For the third consecutive trading day, all three major stock indexes fell on Monday as U.S. allies warned of an impending Russian military attack on Ukraine. The PPI report on Tuesday, geopolitical concerns in Ukraine, and earnings this week may have an impact on the market’s future movements. Key earnings to look out for this week include Airbnb, Cisco, DoorDash, Shopify, Walmart, and Draftkings. On Wednesday, the latest FOMC minutes are due to release as well as January reports for retail sales, import price, and industrial production.
This morning, concerns over Ukraine appeared to be subsiding after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov suggested continuing talks with the United States and its allies on security issues. But by the afternoon, Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the U.S. was closing its embassy in Kyiv and moving operations west, near the Polish border.
