Safe-haven currencies surged amid rising tensions Russia-Ukraine.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The safe-haven asset such as Japanese Yen and Swiss France surged significantly over the backdrop of risk-off sentiment in the global financial market following Russian President Vladimir Putin authorised a military operation in eastern Ukraine on Thursday. Explosion rocked the breakaway eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk and civilian aircraft were warned away as the United States claimed a major attack by Russia on Ukraine was imminent. Currently, a total of 80% of Russian soldiers assembled are in a position to launch a full-scale invasion on Ukraine, according to senior US defence official. The rising tensions between Ukraine-Russia would be spurring geopolitics risk to the global, which stoked a shift in sentiment toward safe-haven asset. As of writing, USD\/JPY depreciated by 0.20% to 114.75 while USD\/CHF dived 0.05% to 0.9175.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price surged 2.60% to 96.35 per barrel as of writing. The oil market edged higher amid market participants concerned that the rising tensions between Russia-Ukraine would increase further uncertainty for the oil supply in future, insinuating bullish momentum on the crude oil price. On the other hand, the gold price appreciated by 1.05% to $1927.80 per troy ounces.<\/p>\n
