PERFECT STORM INDEX™ — 12 SEPTEMBER 2026

83 / 100
🔴 EXTREME RISK | +2 TODAY
The PSI rises from yesterday’s 81 to 83, driven by a further deterioration in geopolitical and energy-market risk.
Key drivers:
Saudi Arabia’s critical East–West oil pipeline has reportedly been shut following a drone attack.
Disruption around the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb is intensifying.
Oil remains above $100 and is heading for a substantial weekly gain.
Higher energy costs are reinforcing inflationary pressure.
US Treasury yields remain restrictive, with the 10-year yield close to 5%.
#Bitcoin remains vulnerable within its broader corrective structure.
However, the absence of a decisive volatility or credit-market breakout prevents a larger increase.
The two-point rise reflects a meaningful new energy supply shock, not a wholesale move into systemic market stress.
Risk remains extreme. Capital preservation and disciplined position management remain the priority.
