đ HORMUZ TENSIONS: WHY TRADERS ARE WATCHING OIL, GOLD & BITCOIN
The USâIran standoff and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz remain important market stories as traders assess the risk to global energy supplies.
đąïž OIL
Oil remains highly sensitive to developments around Hormuz.
On Friday, WTI closed around $82.40, while Brent closed around $88.52. Both benchmarks gained for the week as geopolitical risks increased.
However, supply concerns aren't the only factor. Rising US inventories and weaker demand expectations could also limit further gains.
đ„ GOLD
Gold is also being closely watched as geopolitical uncertainty remains elevated. But gold's direction depends on more than geopoliticsâincluding the US dollar, interest rates and Treasury yields.
âż BITCOIN
Bitcoin can react differently from traditional safe-haven assets.
During periods of market uncertainty, BTC can behave more like a risk asset, making global liquidity and investor sentiment important factors to watch.
