Bitcoin's price has fallen below $68,000 as escalating US-Iran conflicts drive volatility in cryptocurrency markets. The drop follows a US-Israel attack on Iran and recent statements from leaders on both sides, compounded by weak US jobs data. Other major coins like Ethereum and XRP have also declined.
With Brent crude already past $100 due to prior Iranian attacks and Strait of Hormuz issues, escalating US-Iran tensions now raise worst-case fears of $200 per barrel oil prices. India's stock markets have plunged, hitting oil firms hardest, amid risks of wider deficits, rupee weakness, and inflation.
