Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The recent military actions by Israel against Iran, citing existential threats, and the subsequent ceasefire, highlight a volatile geopolitical situation that could rapidly escalate into a larger conflict. This development is unpredictable and could have significant global ramifications, including disruptions in oil markets, regional security destabilization, and potential involvement of major powers. The complexity and unpredictability of the situation, coupled with its potential to trigger cascading effects across multiple domains, elevate it to a high-risk Black Swan event.
