Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian said on Monday (September 28) in New York that Iran has met with the mediator, Qatar, and put forward specific conditions and proposals for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that the plan has been submitted to the United States and the international community, but he will not wait in New York for a U.S. response; instead, he will immediately return to Tehran, and Qatar will be responsible for conveying further communications.
As the key choke point for global crude oil transport, the risks of control and blockade of the Strait of Hormuz directly affect the nerves of the global energy supply chain. Iran’s move shows that it is using control over this strategic waterway as a core bargaining chip and taking a tougher stance in diplomatic negotiations. The expectation that tensions can be quickly cooled through diplomatic channels in the short term may be overly optimistic.
Against the backdrop of a continuing geopolitical stalemate, risks of crude oil supply disruptions will significantly raise inflation expectations, providing upward support for the U.S. dollar and yields on U.S. Treasuries. If inflation concerns flare up again, the room for the Federal Reserve to adjust policy will be further constrained, thereby suppressing overall valuation for global risk assets.
For the crypto market, tighter macro liquidity combined with rising risk-off sentiment will lead capital to prefer flowing into traditional safe-haven assets rather than high-volatility instruments. If the situation does not see substantive easing, digital assets, including $BTC , are likely to face dual pressures in the short term: tighter liquidity and rising risk premiums.
