Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Persistent frictions in Ukraine, Levant proxy clashes, and Indo-Pacific naval posturing show limited market coupling given strategic reflexivity favoring calibrated signaling over rupture; energy futures curves and cross-asset correlations remain anchored, supporting a stable regime with no VIX>30 or >15% oil shock expected inside 20 sessions.
Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure ahead of winter
Iran-Israel proxy exchanges in Syria and Lebanon
Chinese naval drills near Taiwan and Senkakus
Direct kinetic exchange between Iran and Israel closing Strait of Hormuz
Invalidate if: Observable diplomatic breakthroughs via backchannels or reduced proxy attacks confirming mutual interest in de-escalation equilibrium
