Fire oil, kneeling scholarships: markets in the storm
Israeli strikes on Iran caused a drop in Bitcoin at $ 103,000, but that's not all. THE oil climbs As if he was trying to flee the war. THE Brent jumped more than 7 %, reaching $ 74.40 per barrel. THE Wtihis American cousin, followed with +7.72 %, at $ 73.29. You have to go back to 2022 to find such a surge. The symbol is strong: oil markets take the shock seriously.

Even the bitcoin shudders. He is Raised at $ 105,300but remains under his record. And traders know one thing: war spares no scholarships.
Hormuz, Vital Carrefour: the world's worldwide economy
THE Hormuz Strait (or Ormuz) is not a simple sea corridor. It is the cardiac artery of the global energy economy. Each day, almost 20 % of world oil transits there. Delimited to the north by Iran and to the South by Oman and the United Arab Emirates, it is a nerve. Iran could target it to retaliate. If it happened, the oil market would be paralyzed.
L'global economy does not need that. She barely gets out of a inflationary cycle. And now the energy prices go upwards. We talk about “Stagflationist” shock. Slowed growth + relaunched inflation = toxic cocktail. Already, analysts meet their forecasts.
The memories go up: In 1979, a similar crisis had exploded oil prices. In 2022, the war in Ukraine had created a fresher precedent. The European economy had tanned. Today, the signals are aligned: outbreak of raw materials, prudence of central banks, global uncertainty.
The markets know that the Hormuz Strait is not a detail. It is strategic. And Each threat to its stability is a threat to the global economy. Investors monitor the slightest tanker as a point of tension. War is no longer only done with bombs. She also won with barrels.
Trump, Putin and others: when geopolitics weighs on the economy
While the missiles fall, the great powers adjust. Donald Trump expressed himself:
Iran should conclude an agreement now. They will never have better conditions.
But this attempted diplomacy looks like a slap. Iran has just retaliated. 100 drones sent to Israel. Negotiation? Not really.
What about Vladimir Putin? Russia condemns the Israeli attack. She talks about ” unacceptable climbing ». And in the press, some qualified him as ” Great profiteer of the conflict ». For what ? Because the rise in oil prices benefits him. Moscow sells its more expensive crude. And each barrel exported is an economic victory.
China remains silent, but vigilant. Europe is divided. Some call for calm, others strengthen their support for Israel. The global economy has become a diplomatic balance game. And each misstep has direct consequences on the scholarship.
Key figures to remember:

- 20 % of world oil goes through the Hormuz Strait;
- 3,423.30 dollars: golden price, two months summit;

The cryptos market is not spared. The story reminds us: in April 2024, Bitcoin fell under $ 60,000 after an escalation between Israel and Iran. Today, when he was targeting $ 110,000, his race was braked net. The queen of cryptos always trembles when war roars in the Middle East.
