There are no serious national events at this time.

Multiple active military conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East present near-term escalation risks with demonstrated volatility, while safe-haven buying in gold and regional fuel price increases reflect economic uncertainty. Localized natural hazards and persistent regional instability warrant heightened monitoring, though no imminent global-scale threats are currently evident.
