Geopolitical Risk and Asset Performance Divergence

Geopolitical conflict no longer guarantees an automatic flight into protective assets, and the divergence between rising instability and subdued hard-asset performance reveals a structural shift in how institutional capital evaluates risk as monetary policy paths remain unsettled. Capital is learning to navigate an environment where the inflation consequences of energy shocks compete directly with the yield advantages of sovereign debt, and that competition is determining asset leadership in ways the old geopolitical reflex framework cannot explain.
