Context

Why these markets move

Geopolitical markets are sensitive to official statements, state media, diplomatic calendars, troop movements, sanctions, and negotiation leaks. Rumor and confirmation should be visually separated.

Signals to watch

  • Official government statements
  • Diplomatic meetings and deadlines
  • Independent reporting that confirms or weakens rumors
