KUWAIT AIRPORT HIT BY DRONE STRIKES, RADAR SYSTEMS DOWN

Multiple drone attacks have damaged critical radar infrastructure at Kuwait International Airport, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions. The strikes caused what officials describe as "significant" damage to operational systems.

This is the kind of geopolitical event that typically spooks markets in the short term. You'll see safe-haven assets like gold and treasuries catch bids as risk-off sentiment spreads.

The Middle East premium on oil could stick around if attacks intensify or expand to energy infrastructure. Energy traders are watching closely to see if this stays isolated to aviation or spreads wider.

Crypto often moves opposite to traditional safe havens during geopolitical stress—some see it as digital gold, others sell it for liquidity. The real move depends on whether this escalates or gets contained quickly.
