Brent is near US$96–97 as tensions in the Middle East increase.
This move matters for crypto because more expensive oil can:
→ raise inflation expectations
→ keep interest rates high for longer
→ strengthen the dollar
→ reduce liquidity for risk assets
That’s why the next U.S. inflation print deserves more attention than any isolated altcoin headline.
If inflation comes in more benign, the market could shift back to pricing a less restrictive monetary environment.
If it comes in hot, the pressure may continue mainly on higher-beta assets.
