The global landscape has become significantly more complex in recent hours due to the convergence of an energy war, milestones in digital assets, and strategic mining restructurings.
1. Global Economy: The Ghost of Stagflation
The European Commission and various financial analysts have raised alarms today. The combination of economic stagnation and high inflation (stagflation) is the main risk.
EU Alert: The Commissioner for Economy, Valdis Dombrovskis, warned that the war in the Middle East threatens to cause a massive "inflationary shock" if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked or if attacks on Gulf oil infrastructure persist.
Shock in China: Beijing reported an annual inflation rate of 1.3% in February, the highest figure since 2023. Although it seems low, the sustained increase in transportation and energy costs is putting pressure on its annual growth target.
Markets in Red: Wall Street and major European markets (including the IBEX 35) are operating with declines close to 2%, dragged down by fears that interest rates will not decrease due to the inflationary rebound.
2. Oil: Surpassing the $100 barrier
The energy market is experiencing its tensest day since 2022. Global supply is physically reducing following the attacks reported this weekend.
Prices: Brent crude and WTI have officially surpassed the $100 per barrel barrier.
G7 Action: Leading countries are seriously considering releasing their strategic oil reserves to curb the price escalation that is already affecting the end consumer (in Mexico, for example, regular gasoline is already approaching $23.60 per liter on a national average).
Real Interruptions: Russian President Vladimir Putin declared today that interruptions in hydrocarbon supply are negatively impacting the entire system of global economic relations.
3. Mining: Gold and Critical Minerals in Focus
Mining today is not just industry; it is pure geopolitics. There are key movements in the management of strategic resources:
Venezuela Case: The government ordered today the merger by absorption of Minerven with the Venezuelan Mining Corporation (Official Gazette No. 6,994). Furthermore, it is reported that the U.S. has signed licenses to facilitate the flow of critical Venezuelan minerals in a new phase of economic cooperation.
Copper Under Tension: Cochilco (Chile) reported that the copper supply scenario remains tight for 2026, keeping prices at elevated levels (annual average of $5.91 per pound), which makes the global energy transition more expensive.
Legislative Reform: Various countries are discussing reforms to mining laws to ensure state control over precious metals amid the currency crisis.
4. Crypto Ecosystem: Bitcoin against Chaos
Unlike traditional financial markets, cryptocurrencies are acting as a "digital confidence thermometer."
Decoupling: While Wall Street sinks, Bitcoin (BTC) has risen 4% today, remaining above $69,000.
Institutional Resilience: Flows into Bitcoin ETFs have not stopped, surpassing $1.1 billion so far in March.
Ethereum: ETH has shown strength surpassing the mark of $2,026, driven by the use of decentralized networks as an alternative in conflict areas.
Note: We are witnessing the birth of a new economic order where oil is the weapon, gold is the shield, and Bitcoin is the exit. Volatility is not a mistake; it is the system adjusting.
Historically, oil and Bitcoin move differently... but today both show strength.
What do you think will happen first?
Bitcoin hits $100k before June.
Oil drops below $80 due to diplomatic intervention.
