Trump halts plans to escalate military action against Iran, and risk-avoidance sentiment cools temporarily.
According to media reports, the U.S. is concerned that the stocks of Patriot missiles in the Middle East could be rapidly depleted, and that the continued airstrike campaign has had limited effectiveness. As a result, it ultimately scrapped plans for further escalation.
For the crypto market, geopolitical risk appears to ease in the short term, and volatility in safe-haven assets such as BTC and gold may slow down. However, it’s still important to monitor developments in the Middle East going forward, as any sudden news could trigger market sentiment swings again.
