Iran intercepts foreign tanker with 6 million liters of smuggled diesel in the Gulf of Oman. The seizure highlights ongoing tensions in global energy supply chains and underscores potential disruptions to oil markets in one of the world's most critical shipping corridors. Such geopolitical events typically impact crude prices and, by extension, broader macroeconomic conditions that influence asset class performance. Energy supply uncertainties remain a key factor traders monitor when assessing inflation expectations and central bank policy trajectories.

Here we go again, is it from the Persian Gulf this time? The oil prices are probably going to spike again.

Here we go again with this set? Iran seizing ships is nothing new; the real profit comes from understanding the macro logic behind it. Energy shortages → Oil prices rise → Inflation expectations increase → Central bank policy shifts. Is this logical chain still reliable now? I think the market has already priced in these geopolitical risks. It’s only when tensions suddenly ease that big moves happen. I don’t understand why people are still discussing "energy supply uncertainties," since Bitcoin doesn’t rely on oil... That’s why I only look at on-chain data — geopolitical tensions are too easily exploited by whales to harvest emotions.
