Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan over cross-border militancy, particularly Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) safe havens, remain elevated but have not escalated toward military action against Kabul, anchoring trader consensus at 74% for "No" by March 31. Pakistan's recent airstrikes in Afghanistan's border regions targeted insurgent positions without advancing on the capital, as confirmed by official military statements. Diplomatic channels, including talks in Kabul and Islamabad, signal restraint amid mutual accusations. No troop mobilizations or aggressive rhetoric indicate an assault on Kabul, with international calls for de-escalation from China and the UN reinforcing stability. Traders weigh these dynamics against historical patterns of limited incursions rather than full-scale operations.
