What it means
Major Ukrainian strikes on Russian military infrastructure in Crimea represent an escalation in the ongoing conflict. Historically, such geopolitical flare-ups have been associated with modest safe-haven flows into gold and sustained support for defense stocks, though much of the broader war premium is already reflected in current prices given the conflict's duration.
