Overview

•US attacks on an island in the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian retaliatory attacks in UAE and Jordan have disrupted global energy supplies, increasing oil prices.

•Bitcoin is expected to face short-term corrections in September, a trend observed over the last 10 years and during US Midterm Election years like 2018 and 2022.
•Investors are advised to monitor the Clarity Act legislation in mid-September as a potential positive factor for digital asset recovery.
