About MidEastRiskDrivesOilUp
CENTCOM commander Cooper reportedly chaired a closed-door meeting in Germany with US, Israeli, and Arab military officials on Iran and Hormuz. Saudi pipeline damage has led Aramco to cancel European September cargo; Yanbu loadings are paused. Brent near $108/bbl; Dated Brent around $122/bbl. The CBO puts Iran operation costs at around $38B through Aug 1, with disruption flagged to push US PCE higher into 2027. Will pressure on Hormuz, the Red Sea, and Saudi bypass routes drive oil higher?

Yemen's Houthi armed forces issued a statement today (September 16th), denying Saudi Arabia's accusation that it threatened the holy city of Mecca, saying that Houthi's action targets are Saudi oil facilities and military bases, which are far from the religious sites in Saudi Arabia. The statement also said that Houthi "will not pose a threat to the Holy City".#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？

Les États-Unis envisagent de vendre des bombes lourdes de 2000 livres à Israël, le risque au Moyen-Orient s'intensifie à nouveau, $BTC $ETH sous pression
Le marché rapporte une nouvelle géopolitique majeure : les États-Unis prévoient de vendre des bombes lourdes de 2000 livres à Israël, la prime de risque liée au conflit militaire au Moyen-Orient augmente à nouveau, les inquiétudes concernant les perturbations du trafic dans le détroit d'Ormuz refont surface
La logique du marché crypto face aux événements géopolitiques est très particulière : au stade initial de l'annonce, BTC et ETH sont davantage considérés comme des actifs risqués, les capitaux cherchent prioritairement à réduire leur effet de levier pour se protéger, ce qui entraîne souvent des ventes paniques ; ce n'est qu'avec la poursuite de la détérioration de la situation que la narration du transfert transfrontalier des actifs crypto commence à se manifester
Actuellement, $BTC se situe dans une zone de support clé entre 76000 et 76800, combinée à un refroidissement des attentes autour de la loi CLARITY et une probabilité de 90 % d'une hausse des taux par la Fed en septembre, plusieurs facteurs négatifs se conjuguent. Si la situation au Moyen-Orient se dégrade davantage, la flambée du pétrole fera grimper les anticipations d'inflation, renforçant ainsi la position restrictive de la Fed et comprimant encore la valorisation des actifs risqués. En cas de rupture du support à 76000, le prochain objectif se situe vers 75000 ; la résistance à la hausse se trouve entre 78500 et 80000, nécessitant un volume important pour envisager une reprise
$ETH suit la tendance générale à la baisse, le niveau 2465 est passé de support à résistance, la position défensive actuelle est à 2380, sa performance est fortement corrélée à celle de BTC, en cas de rupture de BTC, ETH aura du mal à résister seul
Le marché fait face simultanément à trois variables majeures : le cygne noir géopolitique au Moyen-Orient, le vote sur la loi CLARITY sur les cryptos, et la réunion de politique monétaire FOMC de la Fed.

#MidEastRiskDrivesOilUp Brent near $108. Dated Brent around $122. CENTCOM quietly chaired a closed-door meeting in Germany with US, Israeli, and Arab military officials 🚨
Aramco has cancelled European September cargo. Yanbu loadings paused. The Saudi pipeline damage isn't just a supply disruption — it's starting to affect contracted deliveries 📉
The CBO puts Iran operation costs at ~$38B through August 1. And the disruption is now flagged to push US PCE higher into 2027. This isn't a short-term oil spike story anymore — it's being modeled as a multi-year inflation input 🫠
Hormuz under pressure. Red Sea compromised. Saudi bypass route offline. Three simultaneous chokepoints is not a tail risk scenario — it's the current situation 👀
$108 Brent with Dated at $122, and CBO saying PCE gets pushed higher into 2027 — does this force the Fed into a September hike regardless of what the jobs data says? 👇
#SaudiOilPipelineDamaged The oil risk is no longer just about Hormuz 👀
Saudi Arabia's key bypass pipeline is reportedly offline for weeks after the Sept 10 strike. It recently carried 2.6M to 4.0M barrels a day, while Yanbu stocks may cover only 5 to 7 days of exports.
What caught my attention is the second chokepoint.
With Houthi activity now raising risk near Bab-el-Mandeb too, disruption is spreading from one route to the alternatives meant to protect against it.
Reports of damage to a Saudi oil pipeline put supply risks back in focus, especially because Saudi Arabia remains such an important player in global energy markets.
Personally, I’d be watching how quickly operations can normalize rather than reacting only to the headline. If the disruption is limited, the market impact may fade quickly. But if supply is affected for longer, oil prices and inflation expectations could become more sensitive.
For me, this is another reminder that oil isn’t driven only by supply and demand geopolitical risk can change the picture overnight.

Crypto’s next catalyst may be sitting in an oil barrel.
Brent jumped 3% to $108, the dollar index gained ~0.6%, and markets now price roughly a 90% chance of a Fed hike as Middle East tensions revive inflation fears. BTC still edged higher near $77.8K.
Energy ↑ → inflation risk ↑ → rates ↑.
That chain is now the market’s pressure point.
🚨 $BTC SOUS PRESSION ALORS QUE LE PÉTROLE DÉPASSE 107 $
🚨 $BTC FAIT FACE À UN NOUVEL OBSTACLE : LE PÉTROLE Bitcoin se négocie autour de 77,6K $, tandis que le Brent a dépassé les 107 $, ajoutant une nouvelle pression inflationniste avant la décision de la Fed cette semaine. Les marchés anticipent actuellement une probabilité d'environ 87 % d'une hausse de 25 points de base. Des prix du pétrole plus élevés pourraient maintenir l'inflation à un niveau élevé, rendant une position plus accommodante de la Fed plus difficile à justifier.

⛽️ Today’s oil/gas news:
— Brent ~$108, WTI ~$104-105 on Saudi supply fears
— Saudi East-West pipeline still shut; repairs may take weeks
— Oil loadings suspended at Yanbu, Saudi Arabia’s main Red Sea port
— No Red Sea Saudi crude exports since Saturday
— Houthis seize Red Sea islands and attack Saudi airbase
— US diesel hits record $6.27 a gallon
— Ukrainian drones hit Russia’s top diesel refineries
— China’s yuan crude futures at a record
— Goldman: oil could reach $120 if fighting escalates
— Aramco delaying/canceling some late-September European cargoes
— Costco starts rationing motor oil as prices spike
Oil is pushing back toward $108 as the Middle East supply squeeze gets uglier.
Brent climbed nearly 2% after Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline remained offline following attacks on the kingdom’s energy infrastructure.
The pipeline had been rerouting around 4 million barrels a day, roughly 4% of global supply, to the Red Sea and around the blockaded Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, commodity traffic through Hormuz dropped to just 4 vessels on yesterday, down from 10 the day before, as fresh Houthi attacks added another layer of risk.
Traders are staring at two of the Gulf’s biggest escape routes and neither one looks particularly healthy.

The key oil signal is the gap between Brent near $108 and Dated Brent around $122: physical supply deserves more attention than the headline benchmark.
With Yanbu loadings paused and Saudi bypass capacity under pressure, my read is that sustained disruption would make this more than a geopolitical premium. It could complicate the inflation outlook even without a further oil rally.
