Recent statements from US President Donald Trump have caused significant volatility in global markets. Trump announced that talks were underway to end hostilities with Iran. He also stated that he had instructed the US Department of Defense to postpone any potential attacks for five days and that diplomatic contacts would continue.
The temporary easing of geopolitical tensions has led to rapid price fluctuations, particularly in energy markets. Crude oil prices fell sharply by approximately 12% to $87, while Brent oil also lost about 8%, dropping to $97. This pullback indicates that markets are pricing in the expectation of reduced risks in the short term.
On the other hand, the cryptocurrency market reacted positively to these developments. Bitcoin rose by 4% in minutes, reaching $71,000, while Ethereum increased by 7%, climbing to around $2,200.
Analysts say the course of the diplomatic process will be decisive for both the energy and crypto markets in the coming days. They particularly note that volatility could continue if the talks result in a lasting agreement.
