How This Could Play Out
First assessed Nov 6
Resolved

Status quo
LIKELYCuba-linked securities and emerging-market exposure remain volatile and illiquid, with no material repricing as political uncertainty persists and structural constraints block capital flows.
Worsens
UNLIKELYRegional risk premiums widen and remittance-dependent Caribbean equities weaken if political instability triggers capital flight or renewed U.S. sanctions tightening.
