What Happened

The Day in 30 Seconds

The US-Iran conflict escalation fundamentally alters the macro landscape, with oil prices spiking and safe-haven flows moving toward traditional assets like bonds and gold rather than Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve's rate cut timeline is now pushed to Q3 2026 at earliest as war-driven inflation pressures rebuild. Dollar strength from flight-to-safety flows creates additional headwinds for risk assets, while elevated oil prices threaten to reignite broader inflationary pressures that could force more hawkish Fed policy.

Bitcoin is trading as a risk asset, falling alongside equities as war tensions spike. The traditional inflation hedge narrative is being overshadowed by immediate liquidity concerns and risk-off positioning.
