Brent crude settled at $101.21 a barrel after breaking above $100, while WTI closed at $96.05, adding to inflation and energy-risk concerns as attacks involving U.S. and Iranian forces around oil tankers escalated. The U.S. Treasury planned to repurchase up to $6 billion of 10- to 20-year off-the-run Treasuries, but the operation did not contain yields: the 10-year yield reached about 4.85%, its highest level since November 2023, while the 30-year yield moved above 5.30%. The Dow fell 0.77%, the S&P 500 declined 0.48% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.64%. BTC briefly fell to $77.6K before trading near $78K, while ETH held around $2.46K. The market is focused on whether $100 oil persists and feeds into core inflation, making the U.S. PPI release important. BTC support is being watched at $77K-$78K, with $75K-$76K as a deeper defense zone; resistance stands at $79.5K-$80K, while a sustained move above $80K and a break near $82K would support a stronger market structure.
