Diary 2/16 ウクライナ・インフレ懸念継続　ややリスクオフの様相

I’ve been working all day and I’ve arrived at home now. Basically I like working because I can learn something new everyday. When I’m mandated something and have many tasks, it is very hard, of course. However I want to do some tasks everyday. I’d like to know something. It is very exciting. If I’ve got nothing to do, I’ll be bored to death. 

I have to make time to study finance and English. Additionally I want time to spend on with my family. I’m demanding. I wonder I would have more hours a day.

In terms of market, the global stock rally stalled on Wednesday as traders struggled on evaluate the risk of geopolitical tension in Ukraine and the impact of rising inflation on central bank policies. US stock futures were flat. Havens like gold and treasuries were steady, while Italian government bold yield rose to the highest level in almost two years as Investors braced for the ECB to stop buying debt. 

However after morning bell, US stocks declined. Before opening bell, US retail sales showed the shape rise of consumer’s appetite to spend even as high inflation erodes their spending power. It may strengthen the thread of FRB hiking interest rate. Additionally, NATO chief said that Russia is continuing to build up forces near Ukraine. Geopolitical tension in western and eastern is still there. Especially geopolitical may bring risk-off mood to the markets. USDJPY also plunged to 115.378. Yen seems to be bought.
