Global Markets Mixed Amid US Gains and Geopolitical Tensions
TL;DR Summary
Investors are turning to safe-haven assets like government bonds, the Japanese yen, and gold amid rising US-Russia tensions over Ukraine. The 10-year US Treasury yield fell to a three-week low, while the yen and gold prices rose. European shares and US stock futures declined, reflecting market concerns over Russia's updated nuclear doctrine and Ukraine's missile attack inside Russia. The Swiss franc and the dollar also saw gains as part of the safe-haven trade.
