Source: The Hormuz Letter — an account focused on Middle Eastern geopolitics and energy. They’re usually accurate, but this still needs confirmation from primary sources such as Reuters, AP, or the BBC.
1. Ukraine attacked the NZNP Rostovsky oil products export terminal in Rostov-on-Don
2. The attack took place hours after the US-Russia diesel agreement
3. Trump lifted sanctions on Russian fuel exports
4. Ukrainian military sources said Trump’s efforts "will not succeed"
MARKET IMPACT:
OIL:
Russian diesel supply disrupted
Global diesel prices will spike
Brent crude could rise to $95-105
This will directly fuel inflation in the global economy
GOLD:
VERY BULLISH
Geopolitical escalation + uncertainty over US policy
Target: $4,200-4,500
Safe-haven demand will surge
BITCOIN:
SHORT-TERM BEARISH
Risk-off sentiment
BTC could drop to $70-75K from its current level of $81K
If escalation continues, target $65-69K (Fibonacci 0.618)
The "all in zone" of $36-39K is back on the radar if the war expands
DXY (DOLLAR INDEX):
Initially rises on safe-haven demand
But if Trump’s deal fails, confidence in US policy will fall
Volatile, with a short-term upward bias
OUTLOOK SCENARIOS:
Scenario 1 (50%): Isolated attack, no major retaliation
Oil spikes temporarily, then stabilizes
BTC quickly recovers to $78-80K
Gold sees a slight correction after the spike
Scenario 2 (35%): Russia retaliates, limited escalation
Oil holds at $95-100
BTC drops to $69-72K
Gold holds at $4,200+
Scenario 3 (15%): Full-scale energy war, Hormuz threatened
Oil at $120+
BTC crashes to $55-60K
Gold at $4,500+
For oil:
If you’re a trader, go long on USO or futures
Target $95-100 within 1-2 weeks
