The war has done damage to the global economy, causing crude oil prices to skyrocket over <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/iran-moves-to-close-the-strait-of-hormuz-as-tensions-erupt-over-broken-ceasefire-deal\/\">the closure of the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>. This waterway is a shipping route from which an estimated 20% of the world\u2019s global petroleum consumption stems.<\/p>\n<p>So, with military skirmishes and the shipping route shut down and or severely constrained, over the last 178 days, the global economy has been rattled. The war has caused a great deal of volatility among all asset classes. The last ceasefire, enacted on June 17, is no longer active, so reports of a possible new agreement would be positive news.<\/p>\n<h2>Unnamed Sources from Pakistan and Iran Claim a Ceasefire Waits in the Wings<\/h2>\n<p>On Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/ria.ru\/20260825\/iran-2113173135.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Russia\u2019s RIA Novosti reports<\/a> that unnamed sources from Pakistan and Iran have revealed the alleged ceasefire. The informants told the news agency that Iran and the U.S. \u201cagreed a ceasefire,\u201d and they added that the deal involves \u201cfree navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d The reports come as Iran and Oman detailed that they have been discussing a joint shipping effort that is mine-free.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that American forces had already cleared all mines in the waterway, and the Navy would destroy new mines planted. <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/117156624974445904\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump said on Truth Social:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI have just been informed by the United States Navy that all mines have been removed and\/or detonated from within the International Waters of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has been notified that any ship or boat placing new mines will be immediately and systematically destroyed\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Oil Dips, Equities Rise, Bitcoin and Gold Remain Steady<\/h2>\n<p>Oil prices dipped on the news reported on by RIA Novosti, as Brent crude slid to $85.95 while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped to $81.64. U.S. equities did well on Tuesday as the four major stock market indexes on Wall Street ended with positive gains.<\/p>\n<p>Records show the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) rose to 26,151.30 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) jumped to 53,577.40. Standard &amp; Poor\u2019s 500 (SPX) logged a rise reaching 7,677.28, and the NYSE Composite (NYA) swelled to 24,768.65 at the end of the trading session at 4:00 p.m. and into extended trading.

The leading crypto asset\u2019s market cap stood at $1.583 trillion, equating to 58% of the $2.73 trillion crypto economy. The bitcoin price rally comes as market observers watch the U.S. Treasury and Secretary Scott Bessent\u2019s next moves.<\/p>\n<h2>The Loudest Advertisement for Neutral Settlement Asset<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the long bond buyback discussions Bessent disclosed last week, he noted this week that the \u201csingle greatest financial offensive ever\u201d against Iran would be unleashed.
