Negotiations between representatives of the US and Iran ended fruitlessly, despite a record 21 hours of intensive discussions. The main topic of discussion was security issues in the Strait of Hormuz, a key trade route for global oil supplies.

The breakdown of negotiations has heightened fears in global markets, especially in the energy sector. The US's preparation for a possible blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which passes about 30% of global oil supplies daily, has caused increased volatility and uncertainty. Investors are concerned about possible consequences for global trade and oil prices.

Markets have already begun to react to the threat of supply disruptions, with a sharp jump in oil prices and other financial consequences. Experts warn that in the event of further escalation, the economic consequences could be devastating for the global economy.

In addition, against the backdrop of heightened geopolitical tension, cryptocurrency markets also felt the pressure. Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies showed sharp fluctuations in their quotes. In conditions of uncertainty and risks for traditional assets, investors have begun to turn to cryptocurrencies as an alternative store of value. However, despite the growing interest, high risks and market instability led to significant sell-offs in the last hours. As a result, as in traditional markets, there is increased volatility in the crypto space, making the situation even more uncertain for traders and investors.
