3. MULTI-REGION SPILLOVER ANALYSIS
- Middle East to Europe: Elevated risk spillover via energy supply routes and sanctions regimes; US maritime blockade and Iranian tensions increase European market risk premium.
- Europe to Global: Sanctions on Russia and Ukraine conflict intensify global energy price volatility, reflected in Brent and TTF gas price jumps.
- Asia Impact: Rising LPG and fuel price risk flagged due to Middle East escalation, potential for supply chain disruptions.

- Risk Signal vs Market Pricing: Brent and TTF gas prices have reacted strongly (+7.94%, +5.82%) in line with risk indices, indicating low divergence.
- VIX increase (+2.13%) is moderate, suggesting some risk premium is still underpriced in equity volatility.
- EUR/USD stable, slight depreciation aligns with risk-off but minimal currency market stress.

11. STRATEGIC INTERPRETATION
The sharp rise in GERI (Locked — free account) and EERI (Locked — free account) indexes underscores a rapidly deteriorating geopolitical risk environment, primarily driven by Middle East maritime tensions and European conflict spillover. Brent crude’s near Locked — free account daily gain reflects market pricing in a significant premium for supply disruption risk, amplified by the US resumption of maritime blockade against Iran and reported attacks on shipping. European gas prices similarly respond to intensified missile strikes and sanctions, though storage levels provide slight mitigation. The moderate risk regime is fragile, with a one-third probability of escalation to a high-risk scenario within two weeks. Traders should prioritize monitoring maritime incidents and sanction developments, as these remain critical risk multipliers. Cross-asset correlations confirm energy commodities as primary risk transmission vectors, with equities and currencies showing muted but directional responses.
