Key takeaways

Geopolitical risks continue to dominate our list with the top three market risk concerns focused on military conflicts.
The partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the accompanying drop in global energy prices have resulted in a material reordering of the entire top 10. Outside of geopolitics, the artificial intelligence infrastructure super-cycle and challenges in the private credit space are top of mind.
New items elevated onto our watch list include the potential for additional defaults in the postsecondary education space and a continued shakeout in the digital currency industry.
