Oil Price Craters on Reports that G7 Could Release 400 Million Barrels: Crypto Market Reacts

Global markets have been under serious turmoil over the past week amid the ongoing war between Iran, the US, and Israel. The military conflict has broader geopolitical and economic implications, with many countries already feeling the consequences. As CryptoPotato reported earlier, crude oil prices skyrocketed earlier on Sunday evening, reaching almost $120 per barrel. This resulted in considerable volatility in stock futures and crypto markets, which were falling as it was happening. But new reports are shifting the tides. New Reports Send Oil Prices Sinking As reported by the Financial Times, members of the G-7 are to discuss a joint release of oil reserves on Monday during an emergency meeting. Citing sources familiar with the matter, the report says the call is scheduled for around 13:30 CET and was initiated by France. US oil prices fell immediately after the news broke and sank to as low as $101 per barrel within hours.

US oil prices are nearing $100/barrel and now up 12% on the day, erasing more than half of their daily gain.” Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump also addressed the broader spike in the price of oil, calling it short-term and saying that it will drop: Short-term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very samll price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety, and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY! Bitcoin Prices Attempt a Recovery After tanking to an intraday low of around $65,600, Bitcoin’s price is attempting a recovery, currently trading at $67,400. The cryptocurrency rose to as high as $68,000, but buyers couldn’t sustain the move. Oil prices have significant implications across multiple markets, and crypto is no exception. Being largely considered a volatile risk-on segment, prices often react negatively to economic turmoil. At the time of this writing, the total market capitalization stands at $2.38 trillion, up 0.2% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.
