U.S. futures point to sharply lower open as Russia attacks Ukraine
U.S. stock futures fell sharply early Thursday as Russia attacked Ukraine, sending indexes off 2% as the aggression sparked more unease on Wall Street.

Dow futures fell 825 points, or 2.5%, while futures tied to the S&P 500 were down 2% and further into correction territory. Nasdaq 100 futures declined 2.6%, hovering around bear-market levels for the tech-focused index.

Meanwhile, oil prices popped, with West Texas Intermediate futures trading 8.6% higher at just shy of $100 per barrel. Global benchmark Brent jumped 8.75% to $105.31 per barrel, passing the $100 level for the first time since 2014. Treasury yields tumbled, with the benchmark 10-year note declining to 1.87% as investors sought safe-haven bonds.

Bank stocks were among the big early losers, with Bank of America down 4% and Bank of New York Mellon slumping 6.3% in premarket trading. Economically sensitive companies also took a hit, with Deere and Delta Air off 5% and cruise line operator Carnival sliding 6.2%.

This appears to be a result of the global markets standing in unison with the Ukraine.

One can only hope, Putin needs to be liquidated like Ceaușescu by summary execution.

Could Vladimir Putin's benighted people now rise up and topple him? As anti-war protesters brave streets and Moscow stock market loses $250billion, UK minister calls for Kremlin coup

James Cleverly accused him of pursuing the murderous ‘fantasy’ of restoring the Russian empire.

The minister, who has responsibility for Russian policy, appeared to urge forces chiefs to rise up against their president. ‘The military leaders around Vladimir Putin must know this is a catastrophically bad judgment call... that this will come at a huge cost. They are in a position to stop this and we call on them to do so.’
