"Good morning. It is the weekend and most markets are currently closed. However, let's get you up to speed on the significant shifts we saw as the week concluded.

Nikkei 225 index futures surged 2.33% to close at 68,309.46, marking the most significant movement in the equity space as traders reacted to shifting volatility. The US 10-Year Yield rose to 5.277% with a 4.0 basis point increase, signaling continued pressure on fixed-income valuations. Bitcoin remains locked in a tight consolidation around $84,823 as digital asset markets digest the recent collapse of the Blast platform.

Geopolitical friction is heating up after reports of Houthi missile strikes on Saudi Aramco facilities. The crypto space is dealing with the total crash of the Blast platform and its native token. On the energy front, Iran is struggling to stabilize its currency despite massive intervention efforts. No major economic data releases occurred in the last 12 hours, meaning the focus stays squarely on global security developments.

Biggest Movers Right Now? VIX and WTI Crude Oil are down. Natural Gas, Nikkei 225, and Copper are up."

News Risk Assessment

Potential risk shift: The Houthi attack on Aramco facilities and the Iranian rial collapse could cause an immediate spike in energy volatility, potentially shifting risk sentiment by 3-5 points if oil prices gaps higher on Monday.
