Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi publicly stated during the United Nations General Assembly in New York that Iran has proposed to the United States reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, but only on the condition that certain requirements are met. He emphasized that the plan is based on a memorandum reached by the two sides in June, and he believes it would be more ideal to finalize it before the U.S. midterm elections. However, the decision-making power still lies with the U.S.; Iran, for its part, is not in a hurry.
As a major artery for global crude oil transport, any shift or disturbance in the Strait of Hormuz would directly affect the world’s energy nerves. Araghchi’s remarks convey a de-escalation signal with conditions attached: they both test the diplomatic bottom line of the U.S. and also create a potential window for cooling amid the previously highly tense Middle East geopolitical situation.
In macro financial markets, expectations for crude oil supply have begun to change subtly. If negotiations achieve substantive progress, the risk premium in the crude oil supply chain may narrow, thereby easing global pressure to combat inflation. But if the two sides cannot reach agreement on their conditions, risk-aversion sentiment and energy prices may continue to swing repeatedly, and the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields would be repriced accordingly.
For the crypto market, potential geopolitical de-escalation could help stabilize overall expectations for macro liquidity. However, at present, sentiment toward capital remains largely neutral and cautious. Investors are more focused on the U.S. side’s subsequent actual response and whether the substantive implementation of the geopolitical game materializes. In the short term, mainstream assets such as $BTC are expected to continue oscillating and consolidating in line with macro conditions.
