Abstract:JPMorgan, the US-based investment bank, said on Monday that Russia would be excluded from all its fixed-income indexes on March 31. According to a statement quoted by Reuters, the maneuver was decided by the bank after Russia was placed on an index watch in March following sanctions imposed by the United States.
An investors' poll took place over the weekend about the matter.
JPMorgan put Russia on index watch on March 1.
JPMorgan surveyed investors on the possibility of including Russia's local and hard currency debt in its benchmarks over the weekend. In a “Survey Monkey” poll seen by Reuters, Wall Street bank asked whether sovereign and corporate bonds and securities denominated in hard currency and roubles should be retained or removed.
Those anticipating that securities will be removed are asked about their preferred timing - at the end of March or the end of April. The bank runs a family of hard-currency sovereign indexes called EMBI, as well as a corporate debt index called CEMBI. In addition, there is the GBI-EM benchmark for local debt in emerging currencies and JESG, which is based on environmental, social, and governance factors.
Based on bank information, assets worth $842 billion are benchmarked against those indexes. The EMBIG Diversified index of the bank weights Russia at 0.89% and the ESG version has an even higher weighted rating of 1.03%. It is also being investigated whether or not the debt from Russian ally Belarus should be removed from JPMorgan's ESG index series.

Selecting the right forex broker can make the difference between trading success and frustration for most investors, especially retail investors. As retail traders gain unprecedented access to global markets, the choice between platforms like JustForex and JustMarkets becomes increasingly significant. Both brokers offer some shining features within the forex and CFD trading space, but their approaches differ in some areas.
Vault Markets, a South African-based broker, has attracted much attention in recent days, particularly within its region. This online broker only offers access to focused trading opportunities on Indices, Currencies, Energies, and Metals, yet it shines on low minimum deposits plus various bonus programmes, which would encourage more investors, especially beginners, to trade with a small budget. However, Vault Markets operates outside of the authorized scope, so we don't consider it solid to trade with.
FBK Markets, a young South African forex broker, targets both beginners and experienced traders within this region. This broker shines at its low minimum deposit required, 100% deposit bonus, and flexible account options, yet we cannot consider it reliable as it operates without any regulation. Furthermore, it features an approximately 70% withdrawal failure rate.
OlympTrade is a relatively young online broker registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a shady spot with a booming of unlicensed entities. Tradable assets on the OlymTrade are not extensive, and this broker does not tell many essential trading conditions. As for trading platforms, I found trades can only operated on a simple web-based trading platform, no Metatrader platform at all.
