…ormuz deal, markets hit records Week of 2026-08-10 to 08-17. - russia_stability 0.25 -> 0.24: Ukraine completed its 8-month Oleksandrivka counteroffensive (Jan 29-Aug 12), clearing Russia from nearly all of Dnipropetrovsk (~745 km2, ~10k Russian dead), atop fresh US Senate sanctions and the Kremlin barring the anti-war Yabloko party from the Sept Duma vote. - middle_east_stability 0.15 -> 0.16 and nuclear_risk_level 0.33 -> 0.32: Iran-Oman formalized a Strait of Hormuz shipping-route deal (Aug 15), the clearest de-escalation milestone yet, though reopening still hinges on the US lifting its blockade. - global_gdp_growth_modifier 1.02 -> 1.03: S&P 500 hit records (cleared 7,800, third straight weekly gain) on cooling CPI/PPI and an expected Fed hold. - latin_america_stability 0.40 -> 0.38: Colombia M7.4 quake (Aug 10), strongest this century, 132+ dead and rising. - conflict_deaths 1,519,000 -> 1,522,000: ongoing high-intensity Ukraine combat plus residual Gulf/Red Sea attacks. No new nodes: both headline events are developments within existing nodes (2026_hormuz_crisis, 2022_russia_ukraine).
