Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Persistent proxy tensions in the Middle East and infrastructure strikes in Ukraine show contained transmission to energy and risk channels due to spare OPEC+ capacity and diplomatic backchannels; second-order FX and rates effects remain muted absent orthogonal tape confirmation, with explicit de-escalation equilibria priced at ~40% over 7-30 days.
Iran-Israel proxy clashes and threats to Gulf shipping lanes
Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy grid ahead of winter
Chinese naval drills near Taiwan with US freedom-of-navigation response
Direct kinetic strike on Saudi or Emirati oil facilities disrupting 15%+ of global supply
Invalidate if: US-Iran backchannel talks produce verifiable restraint commitments or mutual de-escalation signaling via intermediaries
