Question
Russian Armed Forces launch large ballistic missile and drone strike on Kyiv residential and industrial districts
Direct answer
The renewed intensity of long-range strikes on Kyiv and evidence of depleted Ukrainian air defenses support safe-haven demand in gold (XAUUSD) and US Treasuries (US10Y), add risk premium to European gas (TTF) on potential infrastructure vulnerability, and weigh on the Ukrainian h — bullish pressure on TTF.
