Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The reports of Iranian strikes being labeled as an existential threat by Gulf states at the UN highlight a significant geopolitical escalation that could destabilize the region and have far-reaching global impacts. This situation is compounded by the ongoing US-Iran tensions and the potential for retaliatory actions, which could spiral into broader military conflicts affecting global oil markets, international relations, and regional security. The unpredictability of these developments and their potential to cause widespread disruption align with characteristics of a Black Swan event.
