Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Persistent proxy frictions in the Middle East and Ukraine show limited market coupling, with oil and natgas prices stable and no orthogonal confirmation of acute transmission into risk premia or vol. Diplomatic signaling and winter seasonality support a stable regime with no VIX>30 or CL>15% move expected over the next 20 sessions.
Iran-Israel proxy tensions with threats to Gulf shipping lanes
Ukraine front stabilization and backchannel ceasefire discussions
Routine PLA naval drills near Taiwan with no blockade signals
Unexpected kinetic strike on Gulf energy infrastructure
Invalidate if: Visible de-escalation via US-China mediated talks or verifiable drawdown in regional troop movements
