Israeli military says sirens sounded in Kfar Yovel and Maayan Baruch in Northern Israel

The alerts in Kfar Yovel and Maayan Baruch in Northern Israel, initially raising concerns, have been deemed false. This underlines the volatility in the region but, given the quick resolution, is unlikely to have lasting impacts on markets or risk sentiment. However, it's important to monitor for any further developments that could escalate tensions and affect safe-haven assets like gold or the JPY.
