Bitcoin has defied market trends by experiencing a significant 27% rally amidst geopolitical tensions. This surge occurred during the recent conflict in Israel, which triggered a sharp market response across various assets. In contrast, gold, which is traditionally considered a secure geopolitical hedge, exhibited a less pronounced reaction, with only a 5% increase after an initial breakthrough. The oil market, typically responsive to geopolitical unrest, experienced an unexpected downturn, with Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil depreciating by over 8% and 11% respectively. This unusual trend suggests a potential link between oil prices and economic growth, as previous recessions have seen significant collapses in the oil market. As central banks grapple with high interest rates to curb growth and inflation, the oil industry appears to be bearing the brunt.
