What happened
Zcash extended its rally into new highs following the launch of the first European ETP tied to the cryptocurrency by 21Shares. The market sentiment was subsequently affected by renewed Middle East tensions and stronger than expected US PMIs. The market downturn was exacerbated by hawkish repricing and the ongoing Iran War, which has led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters
The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is directly impacting global commodity flows, such as oil prices. The Iran War has caused oil prices to rise, leading to dramatic increases in grocery and operational costs across the United States.
