“April 6, either open the Strait or face consequences.” As Trump issued a final warning to Iran, the global energy market entered its most thrilling 120 hours since the 1970s.

🚨 Geopolitical Nuclear Bomb: The "Selective Death" of the Hormuz Strait

The current energy crisis is not a temporary risk premium but a permanent structural change.

Current situation: Daily capacity of 20 million barrels plummeted to nearly zero. Iran has weaponized it, establishing a “pass permit system” (limited to specific ships from China, Pakistan, Turkey, etc.).

Trump's trump card: Trump demands a full resumption of navigation before April 6. If Iran refuses, the US could directly strike its oil facilities.

Chain reaction: This binary risk (ceasefire or all-out war) has caused Brent crude ($CL) to fluctuate wildly around a high of $105.

🚀 How do you capture this "century's volatility" at Aster?

The market does not wait, and Aster has prepared all the tools for you:

🛢️ Crude oil ($CL): Up to 50x leverage. Keep an eye on Trump's timeline on April 6; this is the ultimate battlefield for trend-following or countering.

🔥 Natural gas ($NATGAS): Up to 10x leverage. Bet on the extreme imbalance of supply and demand during Europe's replenishment season.

🏆 Gold ($XAU): Up to 75x leverage. Seek the strongest support level between Fed interest rate hike expectations and safe-haven demand.

🐍 Extreme cost: Don't forget, Aster's USD1 trading pair Taker fee is only 0.5 bps, and Maker has a 0 fee. In the high-frequency volatile commodities market, extremely low costs are your first profit.

The next 120 hours will determine the macro tone for the first half of 2026. Trump's tweets, WTI crude's real-time quotes, and the flames of the Hormuz Strait form the core of current trading.

At Aster, you can switch from crypto assets to US stocks ($GOOGL) or commodities ($CL/XAU) with one click, seeking order in chaos and harvesting Alpha amid volatility.

📉 The Paradox of Safe-Haven Logic: Why did gold and BTC decline?

Many are puzzled: During war, why didn’t gold and BTC soar?

Bearish transmission chain: High oil prices - persistent US inflation - delay in expected Fed rate cuts - liquidity tightening.

Market performance: Gold ($XAU) hit a new high of $5,595 before facing strong liquidation of leveraged positions; BTC fluctuated around $68k, with liquidation amount exceeding $240 million.

The truth: This is not a disappearance of demand but rather a liquidity squeeze. Gold below $4,600 and BTC around $65k are viewed by institutions as “war insurance” accumulation zones.

❄️ Second Strike: The "Permanent Scar" of Qatar's LNG Facilities

If the blockade of the Strait is a labor pain, then the bombing of Ras Laffan port is a serious injury.

Permanently offline production: 17% of Qatar’s liquefied natural gas capacity will be permanently offline, with repairs taking 3-5 years.

Dual blockade: Production affected + export strait blocked. European natural gas ($NATGAS) prices have doubled, facing an existential crisis of “no gas to buy” during the summer replenishment season.

The current market is "binary": Ceasefire means a crash (oil/gas), war means a surge. Are you ready to leverage 50x leverage to ambush a breakthrough in crude oil before April 6, or do you prefer to stake $ASTER on the Staking page to avoid the systemic risks of the secondary market?
