3. MULTI-REGION SPILLOVER ANALYSIS
- Middle East → Europe: Hormuz disruptions and IRGC warnings increase European LNG and oil price volatility.
- Europe → Central Asia: Russian refinery disruptions ripple into Central Asian fuel markets, elevating regional energy risk.
- Russia → Global: Drone strikes and security incidents raise global war-risk premiums, impacting insurance and shipping costs.
- Middle East → Global: UN warnings on Hormuz crisis embed lasting economic scars, amplifying global energy market uncertainty.

5. DIVERGENCE ANALYSIS
- Risk Signal vs Market Pricing:
- Brent crude and TTF gas prices have risen notably (+1.19%, +4.40%) despite a stabilizing GERI (-10). This divergence suggests markets are front-running potential supply disruptions from Middle East and Russia.
- VIX decline (Locked — free account) contrasts with heightened EERI (Locked — free account), indicating equity volatility is not fully capturing energy-specific geopolitical risk.

11. STRATEGIC INTERPRETATION
The energy risk environment is stabilizing on headline indexes but remains fragile due to persistent geopolitical flashpoints in the Middle East and Russia. Rising event frequency (EERI Locked — free account) signals continued operational disruptions, particularly in LNG trade and Russian fuel supply chains. Market pricing of Brent and TTF gas is already reflecting supply risk premiums, diverging from the broader risk index decline. The probability of escalation remains material, especially if Iran supply constraints or Hormuz disruptions intensify. Traders should maintain vigilance on shipping and insurance cost signals, while positioning for potential volatility in energy commodities and regional fuel markets. Storage buffers provide short-term relief but do not mitigate medium-term structural risks.
