After recent comments from Russian Federation officials regarding new missile tests, the Russian stock market experienced sharp volatility. Investor sentiment turned cautious as geopolitical tensions intensified, triggering declines across major indices and energy stocks.
Meanwhile, defense-related shares recorded mild gains amid speculation of higher military spending. Analysts say the market’s response highlights rising uncertainty surrounding regional stability and potential international reactions.
With global investors watching closely, volatility in Russian assets is expected to continue until clearer diplomatic signals emerge from both Moscow and global leaders.
