- S&P 500 futures are off marginally as - to no one's surprise - the vast majority of voters in the Crimean referendum chose to secede from Ukraine and join Russia. Up next will be Western reaction should Russia move to annex the region. President Obama has authorized financial sanctions and EU ministers meeting tomorrow will discuss asset freezes and visa bans.
- The largest reaction is in precious metals, with gold ahead 0.6% to $1,387 per ounce - the highest since around Labor Day last year. Silver is up 0.6% to $21.55.
