DEADLY STRIKE : Russian Missile and Drone Barrage on Kyiv Kills at Least 11 Ahead of Trump - Zelensky Meeting
What it means
A major Russian strike on Kyiv immediately before a Trump-Zelensky meeting adds a new diplomatic dimension — escalation timed to influence negotiations — which has historically been associated with a modest safe-haven bid in gold and a short-term lift to defense stocks. However, Russia-Ukraine conflict is an ongoing situation and much of the broader market impact has already been priced in; only the diplomatic-timing angle is genuinely new here.
