The Story
Imagine oil barreling toward triple digits as Iran's Hormuz blockade tightens post-Trump deadline, gas stations scrambling with depleted stocks from panic buying. Gold, the go-to safe haven, just cracked key support below $4,500 per ounce amid the Middle East flare-up. Yet Bitcoin? It's holding relatively steady, shrugging off the chaos like a digital fortress—while stocks like the Nasdaq slide into correction territory.
