QCP: Bitcoin performs strongly under the Hormuz crisis, while the AI and technology sectors face pressure
QCP's analysis states that the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to rising energy prices, with Brent crude oil reaching $83 per barrel and Dutch natural gas prices increasing by 50% to $55, severely impacting the global supply chain. This conflict has exposed the vulnerabilities of the AI and technology sectors. South Korea, as a major semiconductor producer, has seen its KOSPI index drop 20% from its peak, with major constituents Samsung and SK Hynix severely affected by the disruption in energy supply.
Notably, amidst market turmoil, Bitcoin has shown strong resilience, potentially signaling a shift in risk appetite. Analysts expect the market to remain volatile in the coming week, but due to the global dependence on chips, semiconductors, and AI-driven growth, it is anticipated that all parties will jointly pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with China urging Iran to keep the strait open.
