Crypto markets have largely held on to gains over the weekend, but were looking a little shaky on Monday morning as traders digested the latest developments between the US and Iran.<\/p>\n
The US has launched<\/a> several waves of strikes on Iran over an Iranian attack on another container ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has declared the Strait closed, while President Trump said otherwise.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, some heavy inflation reports could further rattle sentiment and add to the volatility as the bear market drags on.<\/p>\n \u201cQ2 2026 earnings season has arrived, and Strait of Hormuz tensions are mounting again,\u201d said the Kobeissi Letter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n US Central Command reported on Monday morning that forces began launching more strikes against Iran \u201cto continue degrading their ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d<\/p>\n Crude oil prices were up around 4%, with WTI and Brent hitting $74.50 and $79, respectively, while US stock futures opened slightly lower.<\/p>\n June\u2019s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data is due on Tuesday, which could add to the market volatility. This is followed by the Producer Price Index (PPI) data out on Wednesday, measuring wholesale inflation.<\/p>\n Year-on-year measures for both headline CPI and PPI are expected to rise by 3.8% and 6.2%, respectively, reported<\/a> Yahoo Finance. Rising inflation will put more pressure on the Federal Reserve to hike rates, which is bad news for risk-on assets such as crypto.\u00a0The escalation of military action in the Middle East is also not good for dampening inflation concerns.<\/p>\n June Retail Sales data and July Philly Fed Manufacturing Index reports are due on Thursday, followed by July\u2019s Michigan Inflation Expectations and Consumer Sentiment reports on Friday.<\/p>\n Key Events This Week:<\/p>\n 1.
