Multiple blasts with secondary detonations rock Kiev
What it means
Major strikes on Kyiv represent a meaningful escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war, which has historically been associated with a short-term safe-haven bid into gold and gains in defense sector stocks. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has been ongoing for years, so much of the baseline risk is already priced in — only genuine escalation steps tend to move markets at this stage.
