Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Middle East proxy actions and Ukraine winter energy posturing show contained transmission to oil and natgas with muted second-order FX/risk-asset ripples; diplomatic backchannels and pre-priced cascades keep the 20-session regime stable absent orthogonal confirmation of supply shocks.
Iranian proxy militia exchanges with Israeli forces near Golan without direct state strikes
Russia-Ukraine frontline stalemate entering winter with LNG diversion talks
Routine PLA naval transits near Taiwan coinciding with US defense reviews
Unexpected closure of Strait of Hormuz from miscalculated strike cycle
Invalidate if: Sustained diplomatic talks between Gulf states and Iran or observable increase in tanker transits
