U.S. stock futures fell sharply Thursday as Russia attacked Ukraine, causing global energy prices to jump and sending investors fleeing for the safety of fixed income assets. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Index were pounded 844 points, or 2.6%, to 32,222. Futures for the S&P 500 index fell 115 points, or 2.7%, to 4,106.75. Futures for the NASDAQ Composite Index plummeted 466 points, or 3.5%, to 13,041.50. Moscow launched the military action in Ukraine overnight Thursday. There were reports of explosions and missile strikes on several key Ukrainian cities including its capital, Kyiv.

Energy companies surged amid the rising prices. Devon Energy was up 5% and Chevron rose 4.2% in premarket trading. Bank stocks were among the big early losers, with Bank of America down 4% and Bank of New York Mellon slumping 6.3% in pre-market trading.

Financial stocks suffered a broad beating Thursday, as Russia''s invasion of Ukraine sparked a flight to safety that sent Treasury prices higher and yields lower. The SPDR Financial Select Sector ETF sank 3.8% in premarket trading toward a five-month low, with only one of 67 equity components gaining ground, while futures for the S&P 500 dove 2.6% toward a nine-month low. Among the ETF''s more-active components, shares of Bank of America Corp. dropped 5.1%, Wells Fargo & Co. slid 4.8%, Citigroup Inc. shed 5.1%, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. fell 4.0%, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lost 4.0% and Warren Buffett''s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. declined 2.8%. The lone gainer in the ETF was CBOE Global Markets Inc.''s stock , which rose 3.0% as the invasion was seen as boosting market volatility. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note slumped 11 basis points to 1.866%.

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC ) and J P Morgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM ) opened higher on Wednesday in tandem with the S&P 500, but selling pressure entered just after 9:35 a.m., when Newsweek released an exclusive report stating a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine was likely within 48 hours. Both stocks have been trading in a downtrend since Feb. 10 when Bank of America reached a new all-time high of $50.11 and JPMorgan a high of $159.03, declining about 10% and 5%, respectively, since that date.

Greenwald: The Neoliberal War On Dissent In The West Authored by Glenn Greenwald via greenwald.substack.com , When it comes to distant and adversarial countries, we are taught to recognize tyranny through the use of telltale tactics of repression. Dissent from orthodoxies is censored. Protests against the state are outlawed. Dissenters are harshly punished with no due process. Long prison terms are doled out for political transgressions rather than crimes of violence. Journalists are treated as criminals and spies. Opposition to the policies of political leaders are recast as crimes against the state. Police in Canada deployed to dislodge the final truckers and protesters from downtown Ottawa, aimed at bringing an end to three weeks of demonstrations over Covid-19 health rules.
