The markets were closed on Monday in observance of Presidents Day, but that didn’t stop futures from fluctuating overnight as tension between Russia and Ukraine continues — and more in Tuesday’s stock market recap.
Most of the major indices are set to open lower, but they’ve erased most of their overnight lows. The Dow was down about 100 points at the time of filming after being down almost 1,000.
In terms of Federal Reserve reports this week, we have the latest gross domestic product data on Thursday.
And given the threat of war between Russia and Ukraine, there’s a chance that if the report doesn’t meet expectations, the Fed may hold off on raising rates. But if it’s stronger than expected, it will likely move ahead with its plans.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, we’ll discuss the top Fed report this week and how it can shape the economy… the biggest factors spooking the stock market right now… what typically happens to stocks after a war breaks out… crucial levels for the major indices… a sneak peek into market internals… an update on the 11 major sectors… plus the top sector and stock!
