The Silk Risk Dashboard
- Interest Rates↗Expect the 10Y to drift modestly higher toward 4.75-4.85% over 20 sessions as rate-vol stays elevated and tightening expectations hold.
- Financial↗OLSExpect indices to remain pressured with elevated chop as breadth deteriorates, though a partial mean-reversion bounce is likely within the 4-day window before resuming lower.
- Commodity↗Expect commodities broadly to hold gains with corn and energy leading, but the +2.51σ corn extreme is likely to partially mean-revert within days.
- Currency↗Expect the USD to hold firm-to-slightly-higher over 20 sessions on tightening-priced rate differentials, keeping EUR/USD near 1.14-1.15.
- Crypto↗OLSExpect the FLAT block to persist through 20 sessions unless the next boundary falls inside the window and the correlation flips positive, which is not currently indicated.

Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Persistent tensions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe show limited market transmission via energy channels, with oil and natgas exhibiting only modest risk premia amid visible diplomatic signaling. Independent tape confirmation is weak, favoring a stable regime with explicit de-escalation equilibria priced in via muted vol and resilient risk assets.
Iran proxy activity and Israeli responses in Levant
Russia-Ukraine attrition with winter supply talks
Routine Chinese drills near Taiwan with US freedom-of-navigation ops
Direct kinetic exchange between Iran and Israel closing Strait of Hormuz for 5+ days
Invalidate if: Visible US-Iran backchannel progress or mutual public statements signaling restraint and renewed JCPOA talks
