According to the website of the Wall Street Journal on February 22, after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the army to enter the two "republics" in eastern Ukraine, which he previously recognized as independent, global stock markets and US stock index futures fell, while crude oil futures and government bond prices rose. The stock market fell across the board, with Russian stocks taking the lead in diving. The Nasdaq 100 stock index futures fell 2.1% and the S & P 500 stock index futures fell 1.6%, indicating that the US stock market may face pressure in Tuesday's trading. The US stock market was closed on Monday for president's day. The report said that in the Asia Pacific region, the benchmark stock indexes of Australia, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong all fell, down between 1% and 2%. Russian stock markets, ruble and European stock markets fell sharply on Monday, while oil prices rose. The report also said that the European Stoxx 600 index fell 1.3% on Monday. The Russian benchmark MOEX index plunged 10.5%, the largest one-day decline since the Crimea event in March 2014. The exchange rates of Ukraine's hryvna and Russia's ruble against the US dollar both expanded their declines. The ruble fell 3.4% against the US dollar and grifner fell 1%. In addition, according to the website of Spain's economist on February 21, major European stock indexes fell due to geopolitical tensions. The US stock market was closed on Monday, but the European stock market had a bad day: the European Stoxx 50 index finally fell 2.2%, while the German DAX index also fell more than 2%. Taking into account the impact today, both indexes have fallen by more than 7.2% this year. Spain's ibex 35 index fell 1.2%. London stock market is one of the most pressure resistant markets, becoming the only stock market to keep rising, rising 1.3% so far in 2022. [source: reference information network]
