The main US stock indices continued to fall on the eve of the end of the Fed meeting, which started on Tuesday. The most significant decline yesterday was shown by NASDAQ - 2.28%, Dow Jones and S&P 500 fell by 0.19% and 1.22%, respectively. In addition to investors' avoidance of risk waiting for the decision of the U.S. regulator, the geopolitical tension growth was a negative factor for the indices. In particular, the US authorities announce the reality of the threat of Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, as well as the possible introduction of new anti-Russian sanctions. Since last fall, reports began to appear in the Western press that Russia was building up its military presence near Ukraine; NATO responded by building up its military capabilities near Russia's borders. As the IMF said yesterday, energy prices could rise in the event of a military conflict.
