Probability of Israeli Strike on Yemen Drops to 14% on Polymarket

The likelihood of Israel launching an attack on Yemen before April 30 has decreased to 14%, according to Polymarket data, marking a 32% drop in the past 24 hours.

The discussions aim to address ongoing conflicts, focusing on a potential ceasefire and the disarmament of Hezbollah. Amid these diplomatic developments, President Trump has reportedly pressured Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to de-escalate tensions, leading to a U.S. request for Israel to suspend certain military operations.

Gold and Silver Show Bearish Patterns, Recovery May Take Months

Gold and silver markets are signaling a bearish outlook as both metals formed bearish engulfing patterns on their March monthly candlesticks, according to Heraeus precious metals analysts. This pattern, which indicates a potential downturn, coincides with recent geopolitical tensions involving the U.S. and Israel. Analysts suggest that the precious metals market may need several months of consolidation before a bull market can resume. Gold's last similar pattern in April 2022 led to a significant price drop from $2,000 to $1,600 per ounce over six months. The current key support level is near March's low of $4,100 per ounce. Despite this, rising inflation and declining real interest rates are expected to support gold demand. Central banks continue to purchase gold, with a net increase of 27 tons in February, led by Poland's 20.2-ton acquisition. In the silver market, sales of silver bars and coins from the Perth Mint fell to 976,000 ounces in March, down from nearly 2 million ounces in February. U.S. Silver Eagle coin sales also decreased slightly. However, first-quarter sales exceeded 8.1 million ounces, up from 5.3 million ounces last year.

Global Oil Shortage Worsens as Final Pre-War Shipments Arrive

The global oil shortage crisis has intensified as the last pre-war shipments from the Strait of Hormuz are set to arrive at refineries worldwide. The United States' maritime blockade on the Strait has exacerbated the situation, with the final tankers expected to reach Malaysia, Australia, and the U.S. by April 20. Analysts warn that this marks a critical phase in the crisis, with European and U.S. refineries likely to cut production next month. Oil prices have surged, with North Sea Forties crude reaching nearly $149 per barrel, the highest since before the 2008 financial crisis. Brent crude futures are trading around $100 per barrel. The competition for remaining cargoes has driven spot crude prices to record premiums over futures. The average daily volume of Middle Eastern crude arriving in Asia has plummeted to 4 million barrels, significantly below the usual 13.4 million barrels. Countries heavily reliant on Middle Eastern oil, such as the Philippines, have declared national energy emergencies. Measures like fuel rationing and reduced fuel taxes are being implemented globally. The United Nations warns that the crisis could push 32.5 million people into poverty due to rising energy and food prices and economic downturns.
