🚨 Monday Market Update

Markets started the week with another wave of geopolitical uncertainty.
What's happening?
• 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US-Iran tensions continue to escalate after Iranian backed forces killed US troops, raising fears that President Trump could authorize a much larger military response.
• 🛢️ Oil has been extremely volatile.
Prices fell back to around $80 earlier today after reports that peace talks could restart, but those hopes quickly faded.
Oil then surged to $84 as traders priced in the growing risk of supply disruptions.
• ⚔️ Russia-Ukraine tensions remain elevated, adding further pressure to global markets.
📉 Stock markets opened the day in the green, but sentiment quickly reversed and major indices have turned negative as geopolitical risks intensified.
₿itcoin and Crypto is showing surprising strength.
Bitcoin is holding above $65,000, outperforming stocks despite the uncertainty, while the broader crypto market remains relatively resilient.
My view:
Any major escalation in the Middle East, especially if the US responds with larger military strikes, could send oil significantly higher and trigger another risk-off move across global markets.
For now, Bitcoin holding above $65K while stocks weaken is a great sign.
If geopolitical tensions ease, crypto could continue to outperform. If they escalate further, expect volatility across every asset class.
