At least eight killed in massive overnight Russian attack on Kyiv
Context
The attack, which was still underway early Monday morning, involved waves of ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones. Explosions echoed across the city as civilians sought shelter in metro stations.
What it means
A major escalatory attack on a capital city has historically been associated with a short-term safe-haven bid into gold and medium-term support for defense stocks as military spending expectations rise. Ukraine is not a major oil transit route, so the crude oil channel is limited; the broader equity impact is likely modest given ongoing market familiarity with this conflict.
