News category : Geopolitical Events

On November 27 several outlets reported that intermediaries linked to the United States convened discreet discussions in Abu Dhabi with Russian participants to explore possible elements of a framework on Ukraine. Although described as exploratory and unofficial, the meetings were interpreted by markets as potentially the start of a diplomatic path that could, over time, alter sanctions and energy export dynamics. Traders reacted by repricing scenarios for Russian flows and the sanction regime, creating volatility in energy and defense-related instruments as participants weighed upside from reduced geopolitical risk against the fragility of preliminary talks.
