Volatility index rose over 3%, while Nasdaq futures fell over 1% as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Russia looks ready to attack Ukraine.Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday evening that Russian forces could engage in a full invasion of Ukraine before the night is over.

Blinken shared the stunning revelation during an interview with Lester Holt on “NBC Nightly News.”

Holt asked, “Do you have reason to believe that before this night is over Russian forces will be engaged in something akin to a full invasion of Ukraine?”

To which Blinken responded, “I do.”

“Unfortunately, Russia has positioned its forces at the final point of readiness across Ukraine’s borders to the North, to the East, to the South,” the nation’s top diplomat said.

“Everything seems to be in place for Russia to engage in a major aggression against Ukraine,” Blinken added.

Holt then followed up and asked, “To be clear, you think tonight that could happen? Or will happen?”

Blinken said, “Look, I can’t put date or an exact time on it, but everything is in place for Russia to move forward.”

    Volatility should continue until mid Mar FOMC meeting. So during this time, instead of getting greedy and keep buying dips, maybe it's better to just chill and observe. Especially for those who are already heavily vested. For those who are mostly cash, going in to pick up bargains should be ok as long as the companies are of high quality.
