The biggest weekend drama: Trump rejected Iran’s 7-day ceasefire proposal, and even said that after the midterm elections, airstrikes would resume. Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has directly dropped to single digits. When the throat of global shipping oil looks like this, oil prices can’t avoid being tossed around.
But what really keeps me from sleeping isn’t the Middle East—it’s U.S. Treasury debt. The 30-year yield has broken 5.5%, the highest since 2004; the 10-year has hit 5.23%, the highest since 2007. The Fed says inflation isn’t solved yet, but the market has already voted with real money.
The logic isn’t complicated: with risk-free rates this high, the valuations of growth stocks and altcoins are getting hammered. Funds either go to collect Treasury interest or look for hedges—$BTC and gold, at this time, are actually benefiting from both geopolitical risk and fiscal loss-of-control.
There’s also a pretty ironic detail: after seven months of fighting, Saudi exports have instead surged to 6 million barrels per day, the highest since the war began. Oil tankers keep running—markets are more honest than politics.
My take: the Middle East is the short-term source of volatility, but U.S. Treasury yields are the real ceiling for this round of moves. If rates don’t come down, $ETH and altcoins won’t have a big行情—at most you’ll find structural opportunities. Don’t rush to bottom-fish; wait for Monday’s open and see how the market prices this.
