After the missile strike in Poland, which was probably caused by a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile, futures market prices fell on Wednesday morning 16 November. But traders are no longer as easily stressed as they were shortly after the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Price fluctuations are expected to continue in both the short and long term.
