Risk
Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical transmission to core market channels remains low with contained proxy activity in the Middle East and attrition in Ukraine offset by visible diplomatic channels; no VIX>30 or CL=F>15% shock expected inside the 20-session window as second-order cascades fail to materialize.
Iran proxy activities and Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire monitoring
Russia-Ukraine winter stalemate with energy signaling
Increased PLAN patrols in Taiwan Strait
Unexpected direct Iran-Israel strike closing Strait of Hormuz
Invalidate if: Visible de-escalation via renewed Vienna-track talks or mutual force pullbacks confirmed by independent satellite and diplomatic sources before mid-November
