Ceasefire Eases Supply Worries, Goldman Sachs Lowers Second-Quarter Oil Price Forecast but Warns of Continued Extreme Risk

2 hours ago

April 9 Following the U.S.-Iran temporary ceasefire, Goldman Sachs has cut its 2026 second-quarter oil price forecasts: Brent crude to $90/bbl from $99, WTI crude to $87/bbl from $91. The bank cited reduced geopolitical risk premium from the ceasefire and a gradual recovery in Hormuz Strait throughput as key drivers of the downgrade. Brent crude dropped ~11% earlier this week as a result. However, Goldman Sachs is keeping its second-half oil price forecasts unchanged, stressing persistent high supply-side uncertainty: - If Middle East supply disruptions linger and production losses worsen - In an extreme scenario, Brent could hit $115/bbl Goldman also cut its European TTF natural gas price forecast to €50/MWh, but warned gas prices could rebound above €75 if LNG shipments are disrupted. Overall, while the ceasefire has temporarily eased market tensions, the energy market remains geopolitically driven medium-to-long term, with significant ongoing volatility risks.

Reuters: Israeli Army Kills Hezbollah Leader's Nephew in Lebanon

April 9th (Reuters) — The Israeli military said Thursday it killed the nephew of Naim Qassem, leader of Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah, in an overnight strike on Beirut—**not** Qassem himself. Qassem has held a senior role in Hezbollah for over 30 years and officially became the group’s leader in 2024. That year, with U.S. support, Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire ending more than a year of fighting. Since then, Israel has regularly targeted what it identifies as Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. Hezbollah has targeted Israel since the assassination of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Israel has since killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon.

Bitcoin Depot Hacked for Approximately 54 BTC, On-Chain Investigation Suggests Loss Could Be Higher Than Official Disclosure

On April 9, on-chain detective ZachXBT revealed that U.S. Bitcoin ATM operator Bitcoin Depot (BTM) disclosed in an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that a security incident occurred on March 23, resulting in the theft of approximately 50.9 BTC (worth roughly $3.6 million). However, further investigation traced the actual incident to March 20—meaning funds were moved three days before the company detected the breach. On-chain analysis identified 19 highly credible related addresses holding a total of around 54.45 BTC (about $3.7 million), which exceeds the company’s reported amount by roughly 3.55 BTC and may involve an employee’s personal account. Fund flows show approximately 54 BTC ultimately moved to cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin. As of now, these involved addresses have not been flagged by mainstream compliance monitoring tools.
