Sign InThe Russia-Ukraine conflict has taken a strategic turn as Ukrainian strikes successfully knocked out 40% of Russia's Baltic oil export capacity. Direct hits on the Primorsk and Ust-Luga ports have forced Transneft to seek alternative routes to manage significant supply outages. This escalation in economic warfare coincides with Russia's ongoing ground offensive in Donetsk, where forces continue to pressure the 'Fortress Belt' cities amid suspended peace talks. These developments have intensified market volatility, keeping the EUR/USD under pressure while bolstering Gold (XAU/USD) as a primary safe-haven asset. Furthermore, the DAX index faces renewed headwinds as investors weigh the impact of energy infrastructure damage on European energy prices and industrial stability.
