πŸš€ Oil Prices Rise Ahead of U.S.-Iran Talks, Remain Below $100 per Barrel

Oil prices have increased but remain below $100 per barrel as the U.S. and Iran prepare for talks this weekend. According to Odaily, Emmanuel Belostrino, head of global crude oil and geopolitical market data at Kpler, stated that the outcome of the negotiations, particularly the possibility of establishing a viable shipping agreement, is crucial to alleviating the current backlog.

During early European trading, both U.S. and Brent crude saw short-term gains, with prices at $99.7 and $97.6 per barrel, respectively. The Strait of Hormuz remains largely frozen, causing supply disruptions and maintaining market tension. Additionally, Iran's attack on Saudi Arabia's main export route, the East-West pipeline, has reduced its daily capacity by approximately 700,000 barrels.

πŸš€ Austrian Economic Institutes Lower Growth Forecasts Amid Iran Conflict Impact

On April 10, two major Austrian economic research institutes announced that the ongoing conflict in Iran is threatening Austria's economic recovery in 2026. According to Jin10, the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) has revised its growth forecast for Austria's economy in 2026 down to 0.5% and in 2027 to 0.8%, from previous estimates of 1.0% and 1.1%, respectively. The revision is attributed to soaring energy prices and increased uncertainty.

Similarly, the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) has adjusted its GDP forecast, projecting growth between 0.2% and 1.1% for 2026, and between 0.4% and 1.5% for 2027, down from earlier predictions of 1.2% and 1.4%. WIFO noted that the current uncertain international environment complicates forecasting efforts.

WIFO also anticipates Austria's inflation rate to range between 2.5% and 4.1% in 2026, and between 2.2% and 3.5% in 2027. Meanwhile, IHS forecasts this year's inflation rate at 2.9%, with a decrease to 2.4% in 2027.

πŸš€ Australia Delays Resource and Energy Report Amid Volatility

Australia's government has postponed the release of its 'Resources and Energy Quarterly' report due to extreme volatility caused by the U.S. and Israel's conflict with Iran, according to a government spokesperson on Friday. The report, initially scheduled for release at the end of March, will now be published by the end of June. According to Jin10, the report, issued by the Office of the Chief Economist, provides a three two-year outlook and a five-year macroeconomic forecast for the country's major mineral and energy exports. It typically includes historical, current, and projected export volumes and values of key commodities, analyzing global demand drivers and new demand sources. These forecasts are crucial for the federal budget, which is expected to be released in May.

Recent surges in oil prices are anticipated to significantly boost Australia's liquefied natural gas (LNG) revenue, as over 75% of LNG exports are linked to oil prices with a typical lag of three to six months. Remaining spot cargoes are being sold at record prices, although rising diesel prices are increasing production costs for some miners. The revenue surge has led some groups to call for a 25% tax on LNG 'windfall profits.' Last month, reports indicated that the country's treasury was examining related tax measures, but the government has yet to confirm any plans.

πŸš€ Bitcoin's Rebound: Bear Market Bounce or Start of a Rally?

Bitcoin has experienced a 7.5% rebound, rising from approximately $67,000 to over $72,000. According to NS3.AI, Glassnode suggests that this movement still aligns with a bear-market bounce unless Bitcoin can reclaim the $81,600 level. The report identifies the $69,000–$71,500 range as near-term support, with the True Market Mean at $78,000 potentially serving as the ceiling for a relief rally.

Despite the recent price increase, spot demand for Bitcoin remains weak. ETF flows are showing only modest improvements, and options traders continue to pay a premium for downside protection, indicating cautious sentiment in the market.
