What it means
A Russian missile striking Polish territory — a NATO member — is a genuine escalation beyond prior Ukraine-strike signals and has historically been associated with an immediate safe-haven bid into gold, gains in defense stocks, and short-term risk-off pressure on equities. The crude oil move reflects the added geopolitical risk premium rather than a direct supply disruption. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
