The escalation of the international situation directly impacts the financial markets. On Monday's opening, global risk aversion sentiment was re-priced, with a clear divergence between commodities and traditional safe-haven assets—oil prices fluctuated and hovered, while precious metals moved swiftly.

Oil prices are a bit stubborn. Brent crude opened lower on Monday, then rebounded and fell back, currently at $60.64 per barrel, roughly unchanged; WTI crude is around $57.11 per barrel, also slightly down. In contrast, precious metals reacted more quickly. Spot gold rose nearly 2% intraday, regaining the $4,400/oz level; silver surged nearly 5% at one point, then slightly retreated but still up over 3%, reaching about $75.24 per ounce. The market's initial reaction was to buy uncertainty—this is a typical risk-averse logic.

The performance of stocks, bonds, and currencies was relatively restrained. After the Asian markets opened, South Korea's KOSPI rose about 1.71% to 4,383.4 points, and the Nikkei 225 increased about 1.41% to 51,050.53 points; US stock index futures edged higher, the US dollar against major currencies fluctuated, and US Treasury futures were basically flat. Behind this restraint is an interesting context—the global stock markets are already near record highs, having recorded double-digit gains over the past year amid multiple intertwined factors, so the market seems to be weighing the actual impact of this event and has not overreacted for now.
