Geopolitical tensions are escalating rapidly in the Middle East. The Houthis have demanded $51 billion from Saudi Arabia to cease hostilities, while President Trump is preparing strikes on Iran.

This escalation threatens global energy supply chains and shipping routes, adding a risk premium to oil and defense stocks.
