U.S. - Iran reach two-week Hormuz Strait opening agreement, Bitcoin surpasses $72,000
The global financial markets rallied simultaneously after the U.S. and Iran unexpectedly reached a temporary ceasefire agreement for two weeks. The news of the ceasefire immediately had a strong impact on the global financial markets.
WTI crude oil prices fell more than 17% to around $93 per barrel, while Brent crude also plummeted as the risk of supply disruption from the Middle East temporarily eased.
The cryptocurrency market also saw a surge of over 4% in just a few hours. Bitcoin rose 5%, recovering above $72,000, marking the highest level since March 18.
Ethereum increased about 6%. Major altcoins like XRP and Solana also recorded gains of 3-6% during the day.
However, many analysts warn that the two-week ceasefire is only temporary. If negotiations do not make progress or geopolitical tensions flare up again, global markets—especially risky assets like crypto—could face significant volatility in the near future.
