Russian Armed Forces launch large ballistic missile and drone barrage on Kyiv and multiple Ukrainian regions
Question
Russian Armed Forces launch large ballistic missile and drone barrage on Kyiv and multiple Ukrainian regions
Direct answer
Escalation in long‑range strikes on Kyiv and core industrial/logistics assets raises war‑risk premium on Ukrainian sovereigns and FX (UAH), supports safe‑haven demand in gold (XAUUSD) and US Treasuries (US10Y), and underpins European gas risk premia (TTF) on heightened disruption — bullish pressure on TTF.
