📌 Ukraine (Zelenskiy / Security Guarantees): Zelenskiy says a U.S. security-guarantees document for Ukraine is “100% ready,” awaiting partner confirmation to sign, then moving to the U.S. Congress and Ukraine’s parliament for ratification.
📌 Ukraine–Russia Talks (Abu Dhabi): U.S.-mediated talks made some progress but ended without a deal; more talks are expected next Sunday, amid Russia pressing for eastern-region concessions while Kyiv insists on territorial integrity.
📌 Markets – Gold: Gold surged above $5,000/oz for the first time (around $5,093), driven by a safe-haven rush amid geopolitical tensions and U.S. policy uncertainty, alongside central-bank buying and ETF inflows.
📌 Energy – Oil: Oil prices were little changed after a prior jump, supported by rising U.S.–Iran tensions and temporary U.S. supply losses from winter storm Fern (~250,000 bpd), but capped by expectations of a 2026 supply glut and Kazakhstan pipeline exports normalizing.
