🌍 India / Asia Angle

Reduced Middle East conflict risk can ease oil supply disruption fears, potentially softening crude import costs for India and Asia's energy-dependent economies. Asian equity markets with exposure to regional trade corridors through the Levant may see modest positive sentiment.

🌊 Ripple Effects

▸Oil (Brent/WTI) — mild bearish pressure on risk premium as ceasefire extension reduces near-term supply disruption threat
▸UAE and Gulf equities (DFM, ADX) — modestly bullish as regional stability supports investor confidence and tourism/trade flows
▸Safe-haven assets (gold, USD) — slight softening of demand as geopolitical tension eases in the short term

🔭 What to Watch Next

PRO

▸Expiry of the three-week extension — monitor whether Israel and Lebanon reach a permanent agreement or if hostilities resume
▸US State Department statements post-Washington talks for details on permanent ceasefire framework and guarantor commitments
▸Oil price movements on OPEC supply data releases — any re-escalation in Lebanon could rapidly reverse current risk-premium compression
