Context
Kuwait's acknowledgment of incoming missile and drone attacks, alongside reports of explosions at the U.S. base, indicates a significant escalation in regional tensions. This development may disturb market stability, particularly in oil prices and safe-haven assets like gold and USD, as investors seek to hedge against potential geopolitical risks. The situation warrants close monitoring, as further escalations could lead to a sustained risk-off sentiment in broader markets.
