These are sad times. People lose security, their country, their homes.
Friends, families, kids rushing to safety, suitcases with clothes and some money. only the essentials.

It is difficult not to think about the last time we had a war in Europe. This time, the world is watching. Ukraine was left alone on the battlefield, suffering from Russia's untamed violence.

Financial support is not the same as 'boots on the ground'.
This is a geopolitical and financial war, run by a violent, egomaniac dictator. It is fought through nuclear threats and sanctions but it is fought on Ukrainian soil and it is the Ukrainian people who stand to suffer the most.

Putin must be stopped.

As a firm that operates in the financial industry, we have a responsibility towards market participants and the financial ecosystem. Solidus Capital and SolidusX are not supporting any financial activities related to Russia. That has been the case for many years and it is highlighted again now. Although we believe many people in Russia are innocent, and even taking a stand against their regime, we can not support any financial activity related to Russia. We are not offering or investing in any financial instruments or ventures that are related to Russia and we are not accepting clients or funds from Russia.

We are using our donations budget, supporting organizations across Ukraine that are involved in protecting the welfare of citizens.

U.S. index futures gained along with European stocks as upbeat earnings and a surge in corporate dealmaking lifted sentiment, offsetting lingering concerns over China’s regulatory crackdown and the spread of the delta virus variant.

Global stocks in July completed their longest winning streak since 2018, but the pace of gains was the slowest in the six-month winning stretch. Corporate earnings have generally aided equities, while the latest euro-area manufacturing data showed the recovery is on track, though concerns about supply bottlenecks and rising prices remain. Other risks include the impact of the delta virus strain on the world economy, as well as China’s push for more control over some of its major companies.

The relationship between the US and China became deeply complex during Donald Trump’s presidential term. Aside from harsh policies aimed at severing the country’s relationship, Trump’s most glaring flaw was his unpredictability and overall approach.

With a new president in the United States, the Biden administration is prepared to think strategically and long-term regarding their relationship with China. There is a lot of work to be done by the new US government, but Biden is a promising candidate due to his focus on multilateral resolutions between the superpowers.

Continuous tension between the two biggest economies is creating a range of concerns and opportunities.
