Ukrainian drones hit St Petersburg region oil terminal
What it means
Drone strikes on Russian oil infrastructure have historically been associated with a short-term lift in Brent crude as markets price in supply disruption risk and escalation fears. Gold tends to see a modest safe-haven bid when the conflict reaches deeper into Russian territory. Both moves are typically modest and partially reversible once the scope of actual damage becomes clearer.
