消息人士2月27日透露，韩国军队捕捉到朝鲜今年1至2月向俄罗斯增派超过1000名兵力的动向。据悉，今年前两个月，1000多名朝鲜兵力从清津和罗津地区通过海路或陆路离开。这批兵力离开朝鲜境内后，脱离韩军监视网，因此韩军暂时无法确定这批兵力所在位置。政府人士就此表示，目前正密切关注相关动向。

A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year. A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
