- Contagion Status: Moderate contagion risk from Middle East to Europe, driven by war-related alerts.
- Risk Indices:
- GERI (Global Energy Risk Index): 23 (+4), indicating a mild increase in global energy risk.
- EERI (European Energy Risk Index): Locked — free account (Locked — free account), a significant drop suggesting localized European risk perception easing despite alerts.
- EGSI-M (Europe Gas Stress Index — Market/Transmission): Locked — free account, steady elevated stress in Middle East.

3. MULTI-REGION SPILLOVER ANALYSIS
- Middle East → Europe: High spillover potential due to Iran-US hostilities and Iraq oil production disruptions, which can impact European energy supply chains.
- Europe → Russia: Ukraine’s attack on St Petersburg and German militarization concerns indicate rising regional tensions, but limited immediate energy market contagion.
- Global: Five Eyes warning on Chinese intelligence recruitment adds a non-energy geopolitical risk vector, potentially affecting strategic energy infrastructure security.
4. CROSS-ASSET SENSITIVITY DASHBOARD

5. DIVERGENCE ANALYSIS
- Risk Signal vs Market Pricing:
- Despite multiple high-severity war alerts, Brent crude remains flat, indicating a pricing gap where markets may be underestimating potential supply shocks.
- TTF gas prices show a more direct response, aligning with heightened Middle East tensions and European risk spillover.
- EUR/USD depreciation aligns with general risk-off sentiment but contrasts with EERI index decline, suggesting market confidence in European resilience.

11. STRATEGIC INTERPRETATION
Despite a low overall risk tone, the geopolitical landscape remains fragile with multiple war-related alerts concentrated in the Middle East and Europe. The rise in GERI coupled with the drop in EERI suggests a disconnect between global and regional risk perceptions, likely due to market adaptation to ongoing tensions. The flat Brent price amid escalating alerts indicates potential underpricing of risk, especially if Middle East hostilities disrupt supply further. The gas market, particularly in Europe, is more sensitive, reflecting immediate supply concerns and storage buffer utilization. Given the Locked — free account probability of risk escalation, traders should prepare for volatility spikes and consider defensive positioning in LNG and power sectors. Monitoring multi-week risk path indicators is critical to anticipate regime shifts and adjust portfolio exposures accordingly.
