Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The recent Israeli military actions against Iranian nuclear facilities have heightened tensions in the Middle East, raising the risk of a broader regional conflict. This situation is exacerbated by the potential for Iran to retaliate, which could draw in other nations and disrupt global political and economic stability. The unpredictability of the conflict's escalation and its potential to impact global energy markets and international relations make it a high-risk Black Swan event. The situation is further complicated by the existential threats perceived by both nations, which could lead to extreme measures and unforeseen consequences.
