Well done, after successfully finishing the Winter Olimpic Games, Putin moves the nonpaticipants troups on Sotchi games in Crimea! For traders this means the economic news can have no significance at all. The US and European response may have impact on prices evolution. But the situation in Ukraine, I think, may have a moderate risk because neither the US norEurope are so hazardous to use military force to push Russia out of Crimea.
Effects on currencies prices may be positives or/and negatives.
Possible positive effects on USD, JPY and CHF.
Possible negative effects on Germany because its dependence of Russia sources of energy.

I think high risks will appear from US economic data, as usual, and from European Central Bank meetings this week. ECB President Draghi will speaks on Monday Mar 3 at 14:00(GMT)
