About this market
Tensions between India and Pakistan remain elevated following the May 2025 four-day conflict triggered by a terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 civilians. India conducted Operation Sindoor strikes on multiple targets inside Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, prompting Pakistani retaliation before a U.S.-brokered ceasefire took hold. That truce has largely held, with limited reported violations along the Line of Control. Key ongoing drivers include India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, Pakistani warnings that water restrictions could threaten regional stability, mutual accusations over militant support, and both sides’ continued military modernization. Recent months have featured diplomatic signals, including informal bilateral contacts and Pakistan’s regional mediation role, alongside persistent disputes over Kashmir and cross-border militancy. No major new military incidents have occurred in the past 30 days.
