Premarket
External background at the opening is moderately negative. Japan's leading index fell less than estimated in February, but it remained at a six-month low. The leading index fell to 108.9 in February from 113.5 in the prior month. However, the score was above the preliminary estimate of 108.5. Russia’s Foreign Ministry blamed the Ukrainian nationalist group Pravyi Sektor for violence which left at least three people dead over the weekend, an allegation that Pravyi Sektor denied in a statement. Viktoria Syumar, first deputy head of the National Security and Defense Council in Kiev, said on her Facebook page that Russia’s accusation and statements show it’s preparing to invade Ukraine. The discord adds to skepticism over whether Ukraine, the U.S. and the European Union will be able to use an April 17 Geneva accord to encourage Russian President Vladimir Putin to ease tensions that he says he’s had no role in creating.
