On September 28 in New York, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated that Tehran has used Qatar as an intermediary to send proposals and conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz to the United States. He also affirmed that he would return to Tehran immediately rather than waiting for a direct response from Washington.
This move raises Middle East tensions to a new level as one of the world’s main energy transportation arteries is officially being used as a bargaining chip. Setting conditions to blockade the Strait of Hormuz poses a direct threat to the global oil supply amid the fact that global inflation has not yet cooled completely.
Traditional financial markets face the risk of a new energy shock, which could cause crude oil and gold prices to surge sharply. Yields on U.S. government bonds and the U.S. dollar are likely to remain elevated due to fears that inflationary pressure may return, thereby constraining the path for easing monetary policy.
For the crypto market, a risk-off sentiment could trigger broad-based short-term sell pressure, causing $BTC and other altcoins to face a correction phase. Even so, if instability persists, capital flows seeking decentralized assets may soon return to support the market. 🌐
