3. MULTI-REGION SPILLOVER ANALYSIS
- Middle East war risk remains the primary driver of elevated geopolitical risk but is currently not transmitting materially to European energy markets.
- Brent crude price increase (+1.98%) reflects risk premium from Middle East attacks but no corresponding jump in European natural gas or volatility indices, indicating limited contagion.
- Russian regional tensions (Iran condemning Ukrainian strike) add secondary risk layer but no immediate market impact observed.
4. CROSS-ASSET SENSITIVITY DASHBOARD

5. DIVERGENCE ANALYSIS
- Brent crude price (Locked — free account) is rising in line with Middle East war risk alerts but GERI and EERI indices are falling, signaling market pricing may be discounting some risk due to stable European supply fundamentals.
- VIX decline (-0.12) suggests market volatility expectations are not rising commensurately with geopolitical news, indicating possible market complacency or risk absorption.

11. STRATEGIC INTERPRETATION
Despite multiple high-severity alerts regarding missile strikes on Saudi oil facilities and ongoing US-Iran tensions, the global energy risk indices have softened, reflecting a market perception that the conflict is contained and that European energy fundamentals remain robust. Brent crude’s near 2% rise signals a persistent risk premium priced in, but flat TTF gas and rising EU storage indicate limited immediate supply disruption fears in Europe. The risk regime remains stabilizing, though the probability of escalation remains material given the fragile ceasefire and US deliberations on military action. Traders should remain vigilant for sudden regime shifts triggered by military escalations or diplomatic breakthroughs, adjusting portfolio exposures accordingly to oil price volatility and European gas fundamentals.
