The Middle East conflict has entered its eighth day, with Iran and Israel-U.S. targeting each other's core objectives. The United Nations warns that the situation is on the brink of losing control. Russia has expressed support for Iran, while most European countries are not participating in the conflict. Regional tensions continue but there are no signs of a full-scale escalation.

Financial markets are all driven by geopolitical factors: crude oil prices surged, with WTI surpassing $92 and Brent breaking $94, weekly gains exceeding 35%; gold strengthened, with spot prices above $5170 per ounce as safe-haven funds flow back; cryptocurrencies came under pressure, with Bitcoin down about 4% and Ethereum weakening in tandem, risk appetite declining.

Market outlook: Short-term volatility is dominated by the situation; if tensions ease, oil and gold prices may spike then retreat; if the conflict escalates further, energy and precious metals are likely to strengthen again. Digital currencies remain under pressure from risk sentiment, mainly fluctuating.

Peace is precious. Approach volatility rationally and implement proper risk management. $ETH ‌#原油价格飙升
