EXECUTIVE RISK SNAPSHOT

Global risk tone remains elevated and rising, driven primarily by escalating tensions in West Asia impacting LNG costs and EU’s call for a moratorium on attacks targeting Middle East energy infrastructure. The doubling of India’s LNG costs signals significant supply chain stress, while geopolitical instability threatens fertilizer production, potentially affecting global agricultural markets. Rising European gas prices and persistent regional conflict underscore sustained energy market volatility.
