Yemen’s Houthi movement issued a statement on the evening of October 13, saying that Saudi Arabian warplanes had carried out 104 airstrikes and missile attacks on Houthi-controlled areas over the past 24 hours, hitting several locations, including the capital, Sanaa, and Hudaydah. The statement also said that the Saudi-led coalition had launched a total of 2,281 airstrikes since hostilities intensified on September 3.
Conflict in the Middle East has once again escalated sharply, with the scale of hostilities expanding rapidly in a short period. This has dashed earlier market expectations of a localized ceasefire, putting the security of energy shipping routes around the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea back in the spotlight.
Rising geopolitical risks have a direct impact on global traditional financial markets. Uncertainty is mounting over oil supply chains, and safe-haven funds often flow into assets such as gold and the U.S. dollar. Volatility in global commodity markets may also intensify as a result.
For crypto markets, macroeconomic uncertainty may weigh on sentiment in the short term, encouraging caution and a wait-and-see approach. Core assets such as $BTC are currently in a tug-of-war over liquidity, and their future direction will depend on global macro sentiment and the actual flow of safe-haven funds. 🌐
