3. MULTI-REGION SPILLOVER ANALYSIS
- Middle East → Global Energy Markets: Houthis’ control of strategic Red Sea port threatens Saudi oil exports, triggering Brent crude spike (+5.75%). This elevates global supply risk perception.

- Europe → FX & Volatility: Minor spillover into EUR/USD (+0.06%) and VIX (+1.38%), reflecting cautious risk sentiment but no systemic shock.
- Cross-Regional Linkage: Middle East conflict drives primary energy price shocks; Black Sea tensions amplify European energy risk, creating a layered risk transmission pattern.

Interpretation, not advice.
Index readings and scenarios are analytical signals, not investment, trading or risk-management advice. Data availability and reporting times vary by source and market schedule.
A severity 5/5 headline measures potential event impact, not the aggregate index. Low GERI can coexist with severe, low-confidence alerts; it does not prove that markets have priced the event in. Closed-market quotes are not evidence of a muted reaction.
