Oil prices surged amid reports of potential US military action against Iran and increased Iranian attacks on shipping, causing traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to drop to a two-month low.<\/p>\n<p>Disruptions in this key shipping route can lead to unpredictable energy supplies and higher oil prices, which may raise transport and production costs and risk persistent inflation.<\/p>\n<p>This scenario complicates interest-rate cuts for central banks. Minutes from the Federal Reserve\u2019s September meeting revealed a hawkish stance in response to rising inflation, with the US 10-year Treasury yield hitting a 24-year high at 5.333%. Higher yields reduce the appeal of speculative assets like Bitcoin, which offers no yield, making it less attractive as debt returns rise.<\/p>\n<p>While not every Bitcoin move is linked to Treasury yields, the interaction between oil prices, Federal Reserve policy, and crypto volatility reflects a macro channel in which rising energy costs can affect inflation expectations and the attractiveness of risk assets.<\/p>\n<p>This broader market pressure also hit equities, with global stocks declining as Brent crude surpassed $102 a barrel and Treasuries fell, contributing to Bitcoin\u2019s drop in value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/new-coinbase-listings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Follow 99Bitcoins on<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/99BitcoinsHQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>X<\/b><\/a><b> For the Latest Market Updates and Subscribe on<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> <b>YouTube<\/b><\/a><b> For Daily Expert Market Analysis.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/btc-usd-price-oil-yields\/\">Oil and Treasury Yields Put the BTC USD Recovery Narrative to Test<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BTC USD fell -1.5% to $82,700 by 02:13 ET (06:13 GMT) on Thursday, October 8, after briefly touching $82,300.50, its lowest level in nearly three weeks.
