The Federal Reserve’s Spring 2026 Financial Stability Report has reshuffled its risk hierarchy, and the new order tells a story. Geopolitical risks now sit at the top of the list, climbing from second place in the Fall 2025 survey to the most cited threat to US financial stability. The promotion wasn’t exactly a surprise. A US-Israel operation on February 28, 2026, that resulted in the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader triggered ongoing hostilities across the Middle East, turning what had been a simmering concern into a full-blown regional crisis threatening energy infrastructure and supply chains. The geopolitical picture The Middle…
