Trump says Houthis called US seeking no direct strikes
Lead story · conflict — Trump: Houthis 'Don't Want' US In Yemen - So They're Letting Most Red Sea Shipping Through (ZeroHedge)
The month's range runs $63,025 to $81,061 — today sits +22.5% off the low.
The Lead
Bitcoin trades near $77,300 with little net movement as oil supply risks intensify around the Red Sea and Hormuz routes. Saudi Arabia closed its East-West pipeline after Iraqi drone strikes, compounding pressure on Brent which has held above $100 while the Houthis advance in Yemen.[1]
Trump stated the Houthis called the US and do not want direct American involvement, with most Red Sea shipping allowed through except for Saudi vessels. This claim of de-escalation sits against ongoing territorial gains by the group and the fresh pipeline closure.[2]
US 10-year yields remain near 4.97 percent with the Fed holding a restrictive stance amid energy-driven inflation. No clear capital flight into Bitcoin appears from the conflict zone.
