Global Markets Brace for Turbulence Amid Ukraine Crisis

Global markets are bracing for a turbulent week due to mounting pressure over the Ukraine crisis. European leaders are rushing to support Kyiv amidst concerns that the U.S. may reduce its backing for Ukraine, potentially strengthening ties with Russia.

Investors fear President Trump may favor a peace deal with Moscow, impacting global stock markets, energy prices, and currencies. Notably, French President Macron joined a video call with European leaders and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy to bolster Ukraine's position.

Analysts warn of potential shifts in investments, with Russia possibly benefiting if U.S. support for Ukraine diminishes. The situation has already seen a surge in European aerospace and defense stocks, reflecting investor expectations of increased military spending in Europe.
