Recently, everyone has been busy researching interest rate cut cycles and analyzing non-farm payroll data, but a real "gray rhino" is approaching—the geopolitical situation at critical straits.
This strait is only 5.4 kilometers at its narrowest point, yet it controls 70% of China's crude oil imports and 40% of global trade. In other words, it's the lifeline of the global economy. What would be the consequences if navigation issues arise here?
First, energy. East Asian industrial production would face an energy crisis, with crude oil prices not just rising, but jumping in stages. Then secondary inflation would hit directly, forcing the Federal Reserve to reconsider interest rate hiking policies. At that point, stocks and bonds fall simultaneously, and the crypto market won't be spared either.
Looking at supply chains. This place is a hub for container shipping, and disrupted shipping means costs skyrocket, delivery times lengthen, and global manufacturing faces the risk of gridlock. Once the supply chain becomes "congested," the currency market would face devastating impacts.
Under such extreme uncertainty, what would capital do? Dump those overvalued tech stocks and leverage-heavy crypto assets, then frantically rush toward physical gold, U.S. Treasuries, and energy futures. Those financial models you built based on interest rate cuts and employment growth? They collapse instantly.
$BNB $XRP $SOL These tokens are no exception—there's no safe harbor before major market turbulence. So rather than staring at economic data every day, it's better to think more about these hidden risks.
