The Investing Week Ahead - Too Long, Didn’t Read:
The Russian Ruble Crashes in Value as the world anxiously watches the invasion of Ukraine | Berkshire Hathaway earnings unsurprisingly impress | Lucid Motors could be in for a tough earnings report if it doesn’t properly defend production recalls | Zoom attempts to reverse its cratering | Dutch Bros looks to remain one of the darlings of the retail market | Apple hosts its annual shareholder meeting | DraftKings hosts a crucial investor event | Mobile World Congress 2022 in Barcelona will give insights into the mobile communications industry | President Biden’s State of the Union Address is on deck as approval ratings hit record lows | Updates on the current status of Employment in the US | Insights from the Fed Reserve could provide Interest Rate Clarity

Major Economic Updates:
In the midst of global geopolitical turmoil, the week is full of critical economic reports — especially coming from the Federal Reserve. All eyes will also be on Biden’s State of the Union address and the Republican response thereafter.
Tuesday (3/1): State of the Union Address | ISM Manufacturing Index | Construction Spending | Atlanta Fed President Speech
Wednesday (3/2): ADP Employment Report | Chicago & St. Louis Fed President Speeches | Beige Book | OPEC Production Boost Decision | Fed Chair Powell Testifies in Congress

Friday (3/4): Unemployment Rate | Nonfarm Payrolls | Average Hourly Earnings | Labor Force Participation | Chicago Fed President Speaks
Over the past few weeks, the Ukraine-Russia conflict has heavily impacted the markets and caused investors to wonder if the Fed will stick to its current rate-raising plan. We’re likely get a better understanding throughout the week.
Regardless of the current global tensions, I don’t see a way that the Fed delays raising rates any longer.
Events-Driven Winners:
What specific events are moving the markets most?
Our friends at LevelFields took the time to scrub through thousands of data points and determine how events impacted stock prices last week. It’s a killer platform for catching trading opportunities as they arise.
This info may help you with forming your swing trading theses this week (if that’s your thing), or simply seeing what actions cause stocks to jump! I’ve become a bit interested in Universal Display (OLED) after realizing that Samsung, LG, Konica Minolta, and more are on the company’s customer list.
