The post Oil: Limited war risk keeps Brent capped – DBS appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
DBS Group Research’s Philip Wee notes that recent Iranian strikes on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz pushed Brent crude from $72 to $76 per barrel and lifted US Treasury 2Y yields, but markets still see no return to full-scale war. With Brent below $80 and far from $120, he argues oil-driven inflation and policy risks remain contained for now. Brent reacts to Hormuz tensions “Iran launched fresh strikes against commercial shipping vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the US Treasury Department to revoke licenses allowing Iran to sell oil globally.” “Brent crude surged from $72 to $76 per barrel on Tuesday, sending the US Treasury 2Y yield higher to 4.185% from 4.12%. With Brent still below $80, the 2Y yield was capped at June’s high of 4.234%.” “For now, the market is keeping to the playbook that Tehran and Washington are still in a high-stakes game to gain leverage during the temporary

The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control revoked General License X on July 7, cutting off the authorization that had allowed Iranian crude oil, petrochemical, and petroleum-product transactions through Aug. 21. Its replacement, General License X1, permits only wind-down transactions through 12:01 a.m. ET on July 17. Brent crude settled at $74.16 and WTI at $70.44 that day, then extended gains in post-settlement trade to about $76.03 and $72.20, putting both benchmarks over 5% above the prior session. Tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz drove that move, and maritime authorities raised transit risk through the strait to severe, with US officials warning of further consequences.

The post Analyst Michael Gayed Names XRP Among Four Assets to Survive a Global Margin Call appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
XRP News Portfolio manager Michael Gayed has placed XRP among a short list of four assets he believes can weather an approaching global margin call, sitting alongside the Japanese yen, gold and oil. Gayed, founder of The Lead-Lag Report, argues the financial system is nearing a point where regulators will be forced to prioritize bond markets over equities. His framework treats XRP not as a speculative altcoin but as a potential capital-transfer channel that could attract flows if a liquidity shock unwinds leveraged positions across traditional markets. The comments circulated widely as XRP traded near $1.08. At the center of the thesis is what Gayed calls a reverse carry trade. For years, investors borrowed cheaply in yen to buy overheated U.S. equities, a strategy that works only while Japanese financing stays loose. Gayed warns that the mechanism can snap vi
