On Friday at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a hardline statement on the U.S. military controlling the Strait of Hormuz, while leaving open the possibility of launching military strikes against Iran soon. The move immediately triggered a strong reaction in the energy market, as Brent crude prices approached the $96.28 per barrel mark and net long positions in crude oil continued to increase.
Developments in the Middle East are especially sensitive because Hormuz is a vital transport route for global energy supplies. Disruptions there threaten to create a new cost-push inflation shock, especially as the U.S. labor market data for August still showed 162,000 jobs added, making it more challenging to control inflation and for the Fed’s monetary easing path.
In the traditional financial market, the USD Index (DXY) rebounded to 99.177 along with rising U.S. government bond yields. Risk appetite among investment funds began to narrow as energy inflation pressures could force central banks to keep interest rates higher for longer than expected.
For the crypto market, $BTC and digital assets are facing short-term correction pressure due to the widespread risk-off sentiment. However, if the geopolitical conflict drags on and increases macroeconomic instability, Bitcoin could fully regain its role as a decentralized hedge asset as capital seeks safe havens outside the traditional financial system. ⚡
