Key Takeaways

  • Macro Environment: Geopolitical risks in the Middle East surged sharply on Friday, with direct conflict breaking out between Israel and Iran, causing extreme market volatility. Safe-haven sentiment spread quickly, pushing oil and gold prices sharply higher, while global equities came under pressure. Inflation concerns driven by oil prices temporarily suppressed safe-haven buying, with U.S. Treasury yields falling first and then rebounding. Over the weekend, mutual attacks between Israel and Iran continued, and tensions have yet to ease effectively.
  • Crypto Market: The escalation of the Middle East conflict on Friday triggered sharp fluctuations across financial markets. Bitcoin fell in tandem with global risk assets, briefly dropping below $103,000. Over the weekend, BTC fluctuated within the $104,000–$106,000 range, reflecting the market’s high sensitivity to geopolitical risks. Heightened risk aversion led to widespread sell-offs of higher-risk altcoins, while Bitcoin's dominance climbed back to a monthly high of 64.8%.
  • Today's Outlook: U.S. June New York Fed Manufacturing Indexa. Trump Organization to make a major announcement on June 16. ARB token unlock: 1.91% of circulating supply, worth approximately $30.2 million
