The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials on Monday, said Iran has continued carrying out attacks targeting U.S. warships at sea. This is the second attack within three days, indicating Tehran is deploying upgraded guided-missile systems equipped with advanced electro-optical seekers to track and hit mobile targets, in retaliation for the United States' air strikes on three of its oil tankers.
The direct military escalation between the U.S. and Iran marks a new dangerous turning point along major shipping routes. Washington's efforts to blockade and increase sanctions appear unable to restrain its counterpart, raising concerns about a wider confrontation that would directly threaten global energy security.
For financial markets, the risk of immediate disruptions to oil supply quickly rekindles pressure for energy-related inflation to return, causing sharp fluctuations in bond yields and the U.S. dollar. Large capital flows tend to move rapidly toward traditional safe-haven assets such as gold, while stock markets face a wave of short-term selloffs.
The risk-averse sentiment (risk-off) also exerts significant pressure on the cryptocurrency market. $BTC and most altcoins could experience strong volatility as liquidity tightens amid fears of prolonged inflation. However, if geopolitical tensions continue to erode confidence in the traditional financial system, capital seeking decentralized assets is likely to reappear soon.
