Iran Reopens Strait of Hormuz Amid US Blockade, Impact on Oil and Bitcoin
- Strait of Hormuz Reopened: Iran's announcement of the Strait of Hormuz being 'fully open' for commercial vessels alleviates severe energy market tensions, yet President Trump's decision to maintain a naval blockade on Iranian ships keeps oil and Bitcoin markets on edge.
- Global Energy Supply Impact: As the strait accounts for approximately 20% of global oil transport, its reopening could mitigate energy shock risks; however, Trump's blockade policy maintains market vigilance, with Brent futures nearing $100 per barrel.
- Bitcoin Market Volatility: Bitcoin's price has oscillated between $68,000 and the mid-$70,000s as headlines from Hormuz circulate, with investors closely monitoring the implications of peace rumors and blockade threats on Bitcoin's role as a geopolitical hedge.
- US-Iran Negotiation Uncertainty: Despite inconclusive direct talks between the US and Iran last weekend, sticking points around Iran's nuclear program and sanctions relief leave the prospects for energy normalization unclear, resulting in cautious market reactions to future developments.
