Context

The warning from Trump's administration about potential interruptions in U.S. weapons supplies to Ukraine suggests a shift in military focus that could destabilize the current geopolitical landscape. This escalation of tensions could drive a flight to safety in markets, particularly impacting assets like gold and the Japanese yen, while possibly weighing on equities. Additionally, energy markets may react as any renewed conflict perceptions could heighten supply concerns, especially if linked to Iran.
