Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical tensions persist in the Middle East and Eastern Europe but show contained transmission to commodities and risk assets, with active diplomatic tracks in Ukraine and indirect Iran talks providing de-escalation offsets. Second-order effects remain most relevant via energy substitutes and safe-haven FX rather than direct primary shocks.
Iran-Israel proxy clashes with sporadic Strait of Hormuz threats
Russia-Ukraine winter stalemate with marginal energy infrastructure strikes
Chinese naval drills near Taiwan with US freedom-of-navigation response
Direct Iran-Israel kinetic exchange closing Hormuz for 7+ days
Invalidate if: Saudi-mediated indirect talks produce verifiable de-escalation commitments or observable reduction in proxy militia activity
