Saudi, Turkish, and Pakistani military chiefs are holding urgent talks to address fighting in Yemen, while Polymarket data shows significant betting on a US-Iran ceasefire and the restart of the Saudi East-West oil pipeline by late October. This combination of high-level diplomatic engagement and market pricing suggests that the immediate risk of a broader regional war or severe energy supply disruption is receding. Consequently, energy volatility may decrease, benefiting shipping and consumer sectors that were previously pressured by war-risk premiums.
