The Houthi forces in Yemen have just announced the launch of a large-scale military attack targeting facilities of the Saudi energy group Saudi Aramco in Abha, Najran, the Jizan economic zone, and the Khamees Mushait air base of Saudi Arabia. This retaliatory move uses dozens of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles after the Saudi side carried out more than 120 airstrikes in the past few days.
This event marks a dangerous escalation in the chain of conflicts in the Middle East. Targeting the critical infrastructure of the world’s largest oil company poses a direct threat to global energy supply, disrupts the temporary balance, and sharply increases the risk of supply chain disruptions.
The immediate reaction from financial markets is that crude oil prices face a surge in upward pressure due to geopolitical risk premiums. As energy prices rise, global inflation expectations are pushed higher, indirectly hindering central banks’ easing paths, while also driving capital flows toward safe-haven assets such as gold and the USD.
For the crypto market, a short-term “risk-off” sentiment that avoids risk may lead to liquidity being withdrawn from highly volatile assets. Although $BTC is often expected to be a store of value, in the first rounds of geopolitical shocks, the crypto market still faces selling pressure in line with the overall trend before stabilizing again.
