The Dow is set to sink after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

U.S. crude and international oil prices spiked more than 8% on Thursday, both topping $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014. Shares of Chevron (CVX) was among the beneficiaries in premarket trading. The reason for the surge in energy prices: Russia is a major global producer of oil and natural gas, which surged 6% on Thursday.

U.S. futures are mostly higher, European stocks are higher and Asian markets ended mostly higher.

Gold surged more than 3% on Thursday to more than $1,970 per ounce, the highest prices in over a year.

Bitcoin, viewed in crypto circles as a store of value like gold, plunged roughly 7% on Thursday to a one-month low of around $35,100.

Russia’s wide-ranging attack Thursday on Ukraine included airstrikes in cities and bases, and ground movements. Ukraine’s government said Russian tanks and troops rolled across the border and accused Moscow of unleashing a “full-scale war.” Russian President Vladimir Putin said overnight that the goal of the “special military operation” in Ukraine is “demilitarization.”

U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to address the nation Thursday afternoon. Ahead of the attack, the United States and other Western nations levied sanctions against Russia. A second wave of economically punitive measures is widely expected. NATO will “further increase our presence in the eastern part of the alliance” in the coming days and weeks, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday.

The national average price of gasoline is up eight-tenths of a cent at $3.543 per gallon.
