Deep Tide TechFlow News, on March 20th, BIT (formerly Matrixport) released a weekly report stating, "The escalation of Iran-related tensions is increasing uncertainties around energy supply, inflation trajectories, and global growth prospects. If the conflict further spills over and continues to impact key passages such as the Strait of Hormuz, both the global economy and risk assets could face more significant pressure. The market had previously been pricing in a looser policy outlook for the year, but recently, it has begun to reassess the pace of rate cuts and even reprice more hawkish policy risks.

So far, the market as a whole still tends to view this round of shocks as a temporary inflation disturbance, with the implicit assumption that disruptions to supply and shipping are relatively manageable and will gradually ease within a reasonable timeframe. This is also reflected in the limited upward revision of inflation expectations at present.

From market performance, the pricing of geopolitical risks may have entered a new phase, and the linkage between energy, interest rate expectations, and risk appetite warrants continued attention."
