Abstract:Escalating US-Iran tensions have triggered UAE airspace closures and flight cancellations, fueling risk-off sentiment and driving demand for safe-haven assets and oil.

Global risk sentiment faces a stress test following reports of escalating disruptions in the Middle East. Emerging details regarding a US-Iran conflict have led to immediate logistical consequences, including the closure of UAE airspace.

- Brent and WTI: Supply chain anxieties driving premiums in crude oil markets.
- UAE infrastructure impact: A critical hub for global energy transit.
