Critical Metals Corp. (CRML) shares are down 1.86% to $5.80 as of 1:05 pm on Tuesday, following a broader market downturn influenced by geopolitical tensions. The decline in CRML's stock price aligns with a risk-off sentiment in the market after comments from Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Lavrov's remarks regarding Ukraine's use of ATACMS and the potential implications for Russia's nuclear doctrine have heightened investor concerns, leading to a drop in US equity futures and European stocks. This geopolitical uncertainty is contributing to the downward pressure on CRML's stock today.
