Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Diplomatic backchannels in the Middle East and Ukraine show incremental progress amid contained proxy actions, with orthogonal market signals (flat oil forward curves, compressed risk premia, stable VIX term structure) confirming low near-term transmission. No VIX>30 or >15% CL move is expected in the 20-session window.
Iran-Israel shadow conflict with Houthi proxy incidents but active Qatar-mediated talks
Russia-Ukraine winter stalemate with renewed ceasefire exploration via third-party mediators
Routine PLA drills near Taiwan with no blockade signals and reciprocal US diplomatic visits
Unexpected kinetic strike on Gulf energy infrastructure closing Hormuz for days
Invalidate if: Visible progress in Oman/Qatar talks or observable de-mobilization of proxy militias
