Bitcoin and stocks fell sharply as oil prices surged nearly 20% following escalating geopolitical tensions.Summary
Cryptocurrency prices began the week negatively, with Bitcoin falling 2% to trade just below $66,000, and Ether and Solana also declining. This downturn coincided with a massive surge in oil prices, with April WTI crude futures jumping 19.1% to $108.35 per barrel, reaching a four-year high amid little sign of de-escalation in the U.S. war against Iran. Consequently, U.S. stock index futures dropped nearly 2% across the board, and Japan's Nikkei 225 futures were also lower.
