Ukraine-Russia, Walmart and Lowe's, DOJ vs. Google

Morning Brief co-hosts Seana Smith and Brad Smith welcome various market experts to explore the impact of geopolitical tensions on stock markets while reviewing the latest retail earnings results.

Takeaways:

• Geopolitical tensions are spooking stock futures (ES=F, NQ=F, YM=F) Tuesday morning after President Biden authorized a Ukrainian airstrike on Russia.
• Walmart (WMT) raised its full-year outlook after topping its third quarter earnings estimates, which saw same-store sales grow by 5.5%. Also reporting earnings, home improvement retailer Lowe's (LOW) may have beat estimates, but the stock is dipping in pre-market trading on the company's slowing sales growth.
• Department of Justice officials are set to ask a federal judge to push for Alphabet's Google (GOOG, GOOGL) to sell its Chrome browser, according to Bloomberg.
