The Silk Risk Dashboard

Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Middle East proxy clashes and Ukraine winter-energy posturing transmit primarily into oil and European natgas with secondary USD and risk-premia ripples; independent flows and muted vol term structures indicate contained coupling so far, with explicit diplomatic off-ramps priced at ~40% probability.
Iran-backed militia strikes on Gulf shipping and Israeli energy-adjacent targets
Russian incremental gains raise European storage refill concerns ahead of winter
Chinese naval patrols and Taiwan air incursions spike regional risk premium
Ukrainian deep strike triggers Russian energy-infrastructure retaliation and European gas rationing
Invalidate if: Observable NATO-Russia de-escalation signals or rapid progress toward winter truce framework
