RBA Oil & Geopolitical Inflation Shock

Converging oil market stress signals, Iran-driven geopolitical tensions triggering $1B in crypto fund outflows, and RBA inflation warnings are forcing aggressive cross-asset repricing across WTI crude, major currency pairs, Asia-Pacific equity indices, and digital assets. Traders are repositioning across BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, GBP/USD, EUR/USD, AUD/USD, Nikkei 225, and Japan TOPIX as sticky inflation and energy supply shocks constrain central bank flexibility and compress global risk appetite.
