U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has publicly stated that the U.S. military is currently providing escort support for the transport of oil, natural gas, and fertilizer through the Strait of Hormuz. At present, this vital waterway carries nearly 13 million barrels of crude oil per day. The U.S. military’s direct involvement effectively suppresses the tail risk of shipping disruption and supply cutoffs.

From the perspective of supply chains and macro expectations, the Strait of Hormuz carries nearly one-fifth of the world’s seaborne crude oil volume. The proactive escort by the U.S. directly blocks a potential energy-supply-chain crisis stemming from the escalation of geopolitical conflict, completely dispelling market pessimism about a runaway secondary wave of inflation. This provides critical support for commodity prices to return to fundamentals.

For macro financial markets, the decline in the oil risk premium directly dampens the upward impulse in U.S. Treasury yields, and the U.S. dollar index shows a near-term top reversal with a clear technical structure. Safe-haven capital is beginning to gradually rotate back into risk assets, and the global liquidity environment is showing signs of a noticeable marginal improvement.

In the crypto market, $BTC is in a buildup phase for a breakout within a key resistance range. The alleviation of energy-crisis risk has significantly boosted market risk appetite (Risk-on). As potential geopolitical “black swan” threats are unraveled, incremental capital from outside the market is expected to accelerate into the crypto ecosystem, and the overall trend remains bullish in structure.
