Dow futures: Biden says Putin decided to invade Ukraine. 5 stocks that don’t suck

Fears that Russia will invade Ukraine weigh on the rally of the market, which is already dealing with inflation and other headwinds. Uncertainty about what Russian President Vladimir Putin will do increases volatility.

President Joe Biden said late Friday that he is confident that Putin has decided to invade Ukraine within the next few days. Other US and NATO officials echoed this concern, saying that Russia continues to build forces near the Ukrainian border. This is despite allegations from the Kremlin that some troops are withdrawing.

Ceasefire violations between Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists have escalated in the past two days, possibly providing a pretext for Russia to launch an invasion of Ukraine.

On February 20, major Russian war games with Belarus are scheduled to end. Moscow said the troops would then go home, but would they? February 20 is also the end of the Winter Olympics in Beijing. Putin may delay the invasion of Ukraine to avoid offending China.

But regardless of geopolitics, the stock market rally looks weaker than ever. Investors should take a defensive stance with minimal exposure.

In late 2018, a stock market correction or bear market had two failed days to follow, and finally reached a bottom on Christmas Eve.

The rally of the faltering market has regressed sharply over the past several days, so it can be said that it is due to the rebound. But it doesn’t have to happen right away, and a day or two wouldn’t be good in that sense.

In the very short term, the stock market will continue to focus on fears that Russia will invade Ukraine. The long weekend of Presidents’ Day could have big developments regarding Russia and Ukraine, raising the possibility of a big move up or down on Tuesday. But all these moves can quickly reverse with the following title.

Away from the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, inflation and rising federal interest rates are hanging over the market. On a somewhat related note, supply chain problems have been an ongoing crunch in recent weeks.

General Electric (GE), Applied materials (AMAT) And Rocco (ROKU) is among the many companies that have indicated supply chain problems continue to restrict production and more.

Solving supply chain problems will not only boost corporate profits and economic growth, but also potentially curb inflation. With cases of Covid down and restrictions receding rapidly, there may be light at the end of the tunnel, but it may be far away.


Time to Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy


What are you doing now

Instead of trying to guess how Russia, the Federal Reserve, and supply chains will play out – and how financial markets will react – focus on what the market is doing now. Right now, major indices and leading stocks – outside of a few pockets of strength – are simply unhealthy.

Don’t be drawn to the market for a day or two of good market days. Home indexes have a lot of work to do. Anyway, there are only a few stocks being created at the moment. At some point, there will be a strong market rally with a large number of high-quality stocks flashing buy signals and moving up from there.

When that happens, you want to be ready. Keep your watch lists up to date and stay in touch with the market.
