Treasury bond yields declined as investors flocked to safe government bond assets, while gold jumped to the highest level more than a year. World markets fell sharply after news of Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a statement on Thursday that Russia would start hostilities in Ukraine. Then there were reports of multiple explosions in at least four cities in Ukraine.

Patrick Armstrong, Plurimi Wealth’s chief investment officer, told CNBC’s Squawk Box Europe on Thursday that “we may have a Fed that won’t be as aggressive as it used to be, but war and sanctions are stagflationary – they don’t create growth.” , they create inflation, but not the right kind of inflation, and this should lead to a rotation of the yield curve.

“You can’t own a 10-year treasury with a yield of 1.7% amid stagflation,” Armstrong added, explaining that the inflationary part of this scenario would eventually lead to higher treasury yields.

The number of initial unemployment claims filed last week is also due to be released at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Meanwhile, Fed Gov. Christopher Waller is due to speak at the University of California, Santa Barbara, at 8:25 p.m. ET.
