There are signs from Moscow that diplomacy could continue, but so far we do not see any signs of a de-escalation on site. No withdrawal of troops or equipment. This can of course change. What we see today is that Russia maintains a massive invasion force that is ready, with high-end skills from the Crimea to Belarus to attack, ”said Stoltenberg. "This is the greatest concentration of strength in Europe since the Cold War," he added. The news of Russia's missing de-escalation at the Ukrainian border pulled the majority of the trading day down, but the publication of the Fed protocol test report from the meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which took place on 25 and 26 January 2022, contributed to the markets later a day to boost. The report showed that the FED would continue to pursue a methodical and slow approach to raising interest rates instead of lifting it aggressively to combat inflation faster. The Federal Funds Rate remains at its current level until the FOMC session on March 15 and 16, 2022. Many market participants feared that the Fed would raise interest rates faster, which could lead to a decline in the market. After the S&P 500 was in the minus almost all day due to the news about Russia's continued threatening presence on the Ukrainian border, he ended the day with an increase of 0.09 %. The Nasdaq followed a similar path and fell by up to 1.49 %during the day, but recovered and only closed by 0.12 %. Bitcoin and ether fell by 1.05 % or 1.60 %.

The concern for Fed interest rate increases was mitigated until at least mid-March, when the next FOMC session is scheduled. In the event of a further escalation on the Ukrainian border, investors should expect more volatility. . .
