Presenting 100 Years Of Geopolitical Risk
While we can track policy uncertainty (and its decoupling from global market risk perceptions)…
And we can follow the relative level of “crisis” and the market’s complacency of it (risk perceptions collapsing as “crisis” explodes)…
Geopolitical tensions, which take many different forms, are however difficult to measure. One proxy for assessing the geopolitical environment is the news-based Geopolitical Risk Index developed by economists from the Federal Reserve Board.

The choice of newspapers for both indices implies a measure of geopolitical risk as covered by the Anglo-Saxon press.
And looking at these charts one can only laugh at the fact that VIX had a 9 handle just days ago?
