March 6th — Cryptocurrency trading firm QCP Capital released its latest weekly market recap, noting that while geopolitical events dominated global markets this week, the real driver of trend shifts was inflationary pressure from rising oil prices. The report noted the market initially showed typical risk-off sentiment but quickly shifted to an “inflation overlay” pattern: rising energy costs pushed up interest rate expectations, U.S. Treasuries failed to deliver their usual safe-haven appeal, the U.S. dollar stayed strong, and volatility picked up during Asian trading sessions.
