What it means
While a Russian strike on Kyiv is severe, it is part of an ongoing conflict that markets have been pricing for over two years. Overnight strikes on Ukraine's capital, though tragic, have recurred repeatedly throughout this war and no longer represent a genuine new escalation signal for financial markets. The prior causal channels — gold, defense, energy risk premium — were called early in this conflict and are already reflected in current positioning.
