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？

De VS is van plan om 2000 pond zware bommen aan Israël te verkopen, waardoor het risico in het Midden-Oosten opnieuw toeneemt, $BTC $ETH onder druk
Er gaan belangrijke geopolitieke berichten rond: de VS is van plan om 2000 pond zware bommen aan Israël te verkopen, waardoor de risicopremie voor militaire conflicten in het Midden-Oosten opnieuw stijgt, en de zorgen over verstoringen in de scheepvaart door de Straat van Hormuz keren terug op de markt
De logica van de cryptomarkt bij geopolitieke gebeurtenissen is heel bijzonder: in de beginfase van het nieuws worden BTC en ETH meer als risicovolle activa gezien, waarbij kapitaal eerst de hefboom verlaagt om risico's te vermijden, wat gemakkelijk tot paniekverkopen leidt; pas als de situatie zich blijft ontwikkelen, komt het verhaal van grensoverschrijdende overdracht van crypto-activa langzaam naar voren
Momenteel bevindt $BTC zich in het cruciale ondersteuningsgebied van 76000‑76800, gecombineerd met de afkoeling van de verwachtingen rond de CLARITY-wet en een kans van 90% op een renteverhoging door de Fed in september, wat meerdere negatieve factoren samenbrengt. Als de situatie in het Midden-Oosten verder verslechtert, zal de stijging van de olieprijs de inflatieverwachtingen aanwakkeren, wat op zijn beurt het strakkere beleid van de Fed zal versterken en de waardering van risicovolle activa verder zal onderdrukken. Als de steun op 76000 wordt doorbroken, is het volgende doel 75000; aan de bovenkant ligt het weerstandsniveau tussen 78500‑80000, waarbij volume nodig is voor herstelruimte
$ETH volgt de zwakte van de markt, 2465 is al van steun naar weerstand veranderd, de huidige verdedigingspositie is 2380, de koers is sterk gebonden aan de prestaties van BTC, en als BTC doorbreekt, is het voor ETH moeilijk om zelfstandig stand te houden
De markt draagt nu tegelijkertijd drie variabelen: de zwarte zwaan in het Midden-Oosten, de stemming over de CLARITY-cryptowet en de FOMC-rentebeslissing van de 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.

De markten rekenen momenteel een kans van ongeveer 87% in op een verhoging van 25 basispunten. Hogere olieprijzen zouden de inflatie hoog kunnen houden, waardoor een meer dief beleid van de Fed moeilijker te rechtvaardigen is. Dat zou extra druk kunnen creëren op Bitcoin en bredere risicovolle activa. ⚠️ Olie → inflatie → Fed-beleid → risicovolle activa De volgende Fed d
⛽️ 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.
