Bitcoin drops 2.2% as Ukraine, Iran strikes send oil toward one-month high

Bitcoin fell as much as 2.2% from $84,250, its highest since Wednesday, as oil rose on doubts over a Russia-Ukraine “energy ceasefire” and an Iranian report that an oil tanker was ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz. WTI spiked past $94 per barrel and Brent hit $107.25, its highest since Sept. 16, after Zelenskyy accused Russia of still targeting energy infrastructure despite a moratorium announced by Trump. Robin Brooks argued oil carried too much “risk premium” as volumes out of the Persian Gulf improved to about 13 mb/d from a high of 16.5 mb/d a few weeks earlier. Markets are on edge ahead of US CPI and PPI data due Wednesday and Thursday, with Bitcoin support seen near $82,000 and resistance around $83,400.
