The steady demand of the New Zealand currency, which gained nearly 4% from the lows of late January, contrasts with the S&P500, which lost its rising momentum about a fortnight ago and is again near the lows of the year.

The main reason for that divergence is monetary policy - current and expected. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has maintained the momentum of tightening for the third time in the last six months and promises further rises later in the year.

New Zealand has also found itself far removed from the worst geopolitical tensions in Europe of recent decades, continuing to benefit from record-breaking commodity prices.

In this environment, it would not be surprising to see the NZDUSD rise as far as 0.7000 by the end of next month, in a break from last year's downward trend.

Although, it would be too naive to expect an easy up ride for the Kiwi, as the US Fed is also signalling a very hawkish stance.

The cryptocurrency market has lost 11% in the past 24 hours, and as the situation develops and investors from Europe and America join the trading, the focus of the decline shifts from Bitcoin to altcoins.

Losses of the first cryptocurrency are close to 10%, while ETH, XRP are down 13-14%. Cardano, Avalanche, Dogecoin declining more than 17%.

Right now, the markets have the highest demand for liquid instruments, making Bitcoin slightly less of a risk than altcoins. It is likely that a further deterioration in the financial situation could benefit the first cryptocurrency as a means of capital savings for investors from Ukraine, Russia, and some nearby countries.

When the dust settles, prices may prove attractive for long-term investments, but for now, the risks are excessive.
How the situation in Ukraine affects all markets
Oil prices are up more than 7.5% so far today, bringing Brent close to $101 a barrel. Futures for gas, which is traded in the US, add more than 5% on a sharp aggravation of the situation around Ukraine. Putin officially announced the start of a β€œmilitary operation,” which the Ukrainian authorities called a full-scale invasion.

The price of a troy ounce of gold was approaching $1,975, reaching its highest point since September 2020, on a massive flee into defensive assets.

European indices are under selling pressure, with the DAX 40 and Euro Stoxx 50 losing about 4%, hitting their lows since March 2021. The FTSE100 index is down about 3%, the same amount is lost by the Nasdaq100 futures, while the Dow Jones 30 and S&P500 are down by 2.5%.

Market drivers are no longer macroeconomics but private messages from the military and local residents. Under such conditions, stock and commodity price valuations almost lose their meaning. Ukraine and Russia are major exporters of agricultural products and metals, which also promises to push prices up until the situation becomes more stable, which is unlikely to happen in the coming days.

Even in the event of a suspension of the military operation, one should prepare for prolonged interruptions in the supply of energy, metals and food, which will destabilize the prices of these goods. Right now, extreme volatility in global markets (outside of Russia and Ukraine) cannot yet be stated. Still, the situation is evolving, risking shockwaves in commodity and energy prices in the coming days. The potential of gold as a defensive asset is also far from being discovered.
Russia may legalize crypto to circumvent sanctions

After reaching the lows for the month, the first cryptocurrency received support from buyers, as was the case at the end of January.

Of course, the growth dynamics were relatively modest, which indicates the caution of buyers. It is likely that these are long-term holders rather than short-term speculators, as markets generally remain wary.

Interestingly, buying during the decline has become a key outline of the American session. After more than a 3% fall, US stock indices not only bounced back but also managed to show growth at the end of the day. This stimulated bitcoin to strengthen.

Food prices are breaking multi-year highs, and the CBs are helpless

Wheat futures on the CBOE are up 16% since the start of the week, the biggest rally since the poor harvest in 2012. At one point yesterday, the weekly rise was close to 20%. The price level was the highest since April 2008, as traders anxiously assessed the impact of the conflict between two of the world’s biggest exporters of wheat, corn, and other agricultural products.

The FAO’s Food Price Index in January was near its 2011 peak (in nominal terms) and one step below its 1974 peak - a time of stagflation and the aftermath of the oil crisis. And the latest spike in grains prices suggests that these highs will already be surpassed in February.

It means that people will spend more on food and less on durable goods and services, worsening living standards.

Exchanges begin to block crypto accounts of Russians

In the middle of the week, bitcoin was testing monthly lows around $34,300 against the backdrop of the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine. During the week and over the weekend, the price of Bitcoin rose to $39,700, on demand for Bitcoin as a safe haven for capital in the face of unusually heavy sanctions.

Pressure on all risky assets is exerted by the situation around Ukraine, where hostilities continue. The reaction of the market suggests that investors do not yet consider the first cryptocurrency as a protective asset in times of crisis.

In terms of technical analysis, BTC has failed to overcome the 50-day moving average, which raises the risks of further declines.

Russia off from SWIFT will have a positive impact on crypto

Bitcoin made a powerful leap up after assurances from the owners of the largest crypto exchanges, Binance, Kraken, KuCoin and AAX, that they do not intend to block the funds of individual Russians. However, the head of Kraken warned that they would abide by the regulator's decision if it comes.

Overnight, the United States noted that they would stop attempts to use cryptocurrencies to circumvent personal sanctions. So, retail clients of large crypto exchanges are not yet afraid for their funds. This probably explains the latest growth momentum.

Technically, Bitcoin broke through the upper limit of the four-month descending channel at the close of the month. Moderate optimism of Asian and US indices is also on the side of buyers.

#Dax reversed from resistance zone
β€’ Likely to fall to support level 3.000

Dax index recently reversed down from the resistance zone lying between the key resistance level 3220.0 (former strong support from last year) and the 38.2% Fibonacci correction of the earlier downward impulse from last month.

The downward reversal from this resistance zone stopped the earlier short-term correction (ii).

Given the strength of the aforementioned resistance zone – Dax index can be expected to fall further toward the next round support level 3.000 (which stopped the previous short-term impulse wave (i)).
What to do with your free capital in Russia

The main question that ruble traders ask themselves is whether the Central Bank managed to prevent a collapse in the exchange rate? At the moment, the euro is officially worth 104.4, and the dollar is 93.5.

According to a leading analyst at FxPro, the ruble is recovering from the second shock wave that hit on Monday, when the Central Bank was unable to use foreign exchange reserves to stabilize the exchange rate. The dollar and the euro declined somewhat, but these levels still can hardly be called sustainable. An increase in the interest rate has a relatively long-term effect, while a liquidity crisis affects quotes "here and now".

A steady reversal to growth in the Russian currency should be expected no earlier than when we receive reliable signals from the EU and the US.

Crypto Whales Are Aggressively Buying Bitcoin

In the middle of Tuesday, the first cryptocurrency was approaching $45K, but then fell slightly during the American session along with stock indices. BTC showed resilience despite the decline in other risky assets and the growth of the dollar. World markets were declining following the banking sector, which felt the severity of Russia's partial disconnection from Swift (by 80%). However, this situation does little harm to the demand for cryptocurrencies.

On the Binance exchange, the volume of trading in ruble pairs with BTC and USDT has increased significantly.
Crypto funds recorded $36 million in net asset inflows during the week, up from $239 million over the past five weeks, according to CoinShares. Institutions are also looking for alternative vehicles amid mounting military tensions and government capital controls.

Market worry of Russia energy embargo

Brent crude prices have jumped 13% since the start of the week, trading above $110 a barrel at the time of writing. These are the highest levels since July 2014. Meanwhile, the ruble continues to retreat against the dollar and euro.

USDRUB is now trading at 106.40 (+5.5%) on the Moscow Exchange, and EURRUB is above 118 (+5%). In both cases, rates are approaching the highs set at the start of trading on Monday. As would be expected, the announced support measures from the Central Bank are softening the fall but not reversing it. The one-way movement in oil prices is since buyers in Europe are increasingly refusing to buy Russian oil, trying to find a replacement for it.

USDCAD currency pair recently reversed down from the key resistance level 1.2800 (which has been reversing the pair from the start of January).
