why would the FED anticipate a meeting? Should they know there will be a meeting.

Instability raises oil prices. That's what Putin gets with or, w/o an attack. 60% of Russia's exports are oil/NG. That's 30% of GDP. When popularity at home suffers, Dictators make war. They always invent a wolf. A fall guy to attack. To take focus off themselves, to keep power. When Europe gets the Fusion solved, Putin will have little leverage. He is making his last gasp. Hungry is betting on the wrong team to keep another wannabe in power.

With hawkish ECB carry trade will be over. Funds and banks will need to close their positions in USD and other currencies and buy Euro to repay what they have borrowed in Europe, which will create demand for Euro.

Time will tell. Buy a currency that may be on the edge of war outbreak, or not. I dont think that's as clear cut as you make it. I dont think tourism does well in war. I know a lot of this isn't well thought through. I could kinda imagine cyber attacks on NATO countries. Maybe on their banking systems. Maybe on the energy grid. Maybe some real terrorist funded by Putin. I dont know. I dont think its wise to assume too much with my wallet.

So your saying in the shadow of war, during covid, it's a good time to raise the cost to tourist? Maybe you are right. Maybe higher interest rates in the U.S. On everyone's credit card bill is enticing many to go to Europe. Maybe the masses are gone to order a Beamer. Stranger things have happened. German Gdp off tourism is about 8%. Cut that in 1/2 and that economic forecast goes to negative. Behind that shrinkage is lost jobs. Lost jobs has a self fulfilling direction. People without a job tend to buy less. So the little money they do have will be spent on the higher energy/food cost. Just saying.. If you spend more on energy/food. You tend to have less to spend on other things. So that further leads to more job loss.

From what I can see there are statements about imminent war on the one hand (western media/politicians) and assurances that no actions will be taken unless Ukraine starts military actions on the other (Russian politicians). Ukrainian president made a statement that there were no signs of war coming (because the national currency was hit and money started to flow out from the country). Ukraine concentrated 150 thousand troops on the borders with separatist republics, Russian troops are 400-500 kilometers away from Ukraininan border. Looks like Ukrainian president is under pressure and European and US politicians are pulling the strings. Why would they need it? I don't know. Maybe energy crisis and stock markets sliding down need exlanation, and scape goat is needed. Ukrainian crisis and local war with their safe participation could be a good explanation. EU and US will not be participating in the war. NATO will not participate, clear statements have been made by the White House. It will not affect EU area. DAX rose from 4500 to 8500 during the war in Yugoslavia, which is almost in the centre of Europe. As for tourists, they don't travel much during these COVID days anyway, it should have already been priced in.
