Breaking News Live Updates : Russia pounds Kyiv with ballistic missiles as blasts rock capital ; Ukrainian strike cuts power in Sevastopol
What it means
A major ballistic missile attack on Kyiv represents a genuine escalation beyond routine shelling and has historically been associated with a short-term safe-haven bid in gold and upward pressure on European energy prices. Defense stocks also tend to benefit as NATO allies face renewed pressure to accelerate procurement spending. These moves are distinct from the prior Nord Stream pipeline investigation context, which had no direct market signal recorded.
