3. MULTI-REGION SPILLOVER ANALYSIS
- Middle East → Asia: US naval blockade and Iran tensions raise supply disruption risk, pushing India’s oil/LPG inflation risk higher. China’s pivot to Central Asia mitigates some risk but does not fully offset.
- Middle East → Europe: Renewed Russia-Ukraine conflict and EU political tensions exacerbate energy security concerns, reflected in rising gas prices.
- Global: OPEC’s downward revision of Q2 demand forecast signals market caution amid conflict uncertainty, influencing global oil price dynamics.
4. CROSS-ASSET SENSITIVITY DASHBOARD

| TTF Gas | €46.36/MWh | +6.26% |
| VIX | 19.12 points | -0.11 points |
| Brent Crude | $97.15/bbl | -5.38% |
| EUR/USD | 1.1544 USD/EUR | -0.23% |
| EU Gas Storage | 29.60% | +0.10 pp |

5. DIVERGENCE ANALYSIS
- Oil Price vs Risk Signals: Brent crude’s 5.38% drop contrasts with rising geopolitical risk indexes, indicating market pricing in demand destruction (OPEC downgrade) outweighing supply concerns.
- Gas Price vs Risk Signals: TTF gas rally (+6.26%) aligns with risk signals from Europe conflict, showing tight physical market sensitivity.
- Volatility (VIX): Flat despite risk alerts suggests market complacency or risk fatigue.

11. STRATEGIC INTERPRETATION
The current low risk tone masks elevated geopolitical stress concentrated in the Middle East and Europe. The US naval blockade and Iran tensions pose a credible threat to global oil supply chains, particularly impacting Asia’s energy inflation risk. OPEC’s demand downgrade reflects market caution but also signals potential for price volatility if supply disruptions materialize. Europe’s gas market is reacting strongly to Russia-Ukraine conflict spillovers, with TTF gas prices rising despite stable storage levels. The divergence between falling oil prices and rising risk indexes suggests market focus on demand destruction amid conflict uncertainty. Traders should prepare for a regime shift towards medium risk if Middle East hostilities escalate, with LNG and gas markets positioned for upside, while oil remains vulnerable to demand shocks. Close monitoring of naval activity and diplomatic developments is critical for near-term positioning.
