How This Could Play Out
First assessed Nov 12
Resolved
UNLIKELYSafe-haven demand eases as international mediation produces ceasefire agreement or humanitarian corridor, reducing geopolitical risk premium in bonds and gold.
Status quo
LIKELYConflict continues at current intensity with episodic strikes; humanitarian crisis deepens but does not trigger major regional escalation, leaving risk assets and safe havens in sideways tension.
Worsens
POSSIBLEHospital strike triggers retaliatory strikes or broader regional involvement; geopolitical risk premium widens, driving flows into Treasuries, gold, and away from equities in conflict-exposed sectors.
