Connection thesis
Both are political instability signals: UK PM succession uncertainty (Starmer challenge) and US presidential assassination attempt (Trump gala shooter pleads not guilty, trial looming). These introduce tail-risk regime uncertainty without immediate resolution. Markets initially rallied on ceasefire news, but sustained political instability in both US and UK historically depresses risk appetite once the initial relief wears off. VIX at 17.19 is elevated but not reflecting this tail risk fully.
