On April 14, the Taiwan stock market reached a new high this Tuesday as investors returned to the pre-Iran conflict trading pattern focused on artificial intelligence stocks, despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East. In the early trading session on Tuesday, the Taiwan Weighted Index rose by approximately 1.8%, surpassing the intraday peak from February 26. Notably, TSMC's stock price increased by as much as 1.5%. The index has risen about 25% this year, outpacing the MSCI Asia-Pacific Index's gain of 9.7%, erasing all losses since the outbreak of the Iran conflict at the end of February. At that time, global AI stocks were severely impacted due to concerns over soaring energy costs and supply disruptions.

On April 14, since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict on February 28, the global oil market has been undergoing a profound restructuring of power dynamics. On April 2, the near-month contract price for WTI crude oil surpassed that of Brent for the first time in nearly four years, a rare price inversion reflecting the harsh realities of energy supply chain reconstruction in a state of war. The core logic behind this inversion lies in the revaluation of 'physical security.' For a long time, Brent crude enjoyed a premium due to its representation of global maritime trade flows, but with the actual closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Brent-related crude from the Persian Gulf, Oman, and the UAE carries a 'risk discount,' with skyrocketing tanker insurance costs and some shipments completely halted. In contrast, WTI crude reaches Gulf Coast refineries through a mature pipeline network, making its 'land advantage' a core competitive edge in this crisis punishing maritime exposure. Germini Energy founder Germini noted, 'The market is reacting extremely quickly—buyers are no longer paying a premium for oil that represents the global market, but rather for oil that they can actually obtain.' From a market structure perspective, an extreme 'spot premium' formation has already taken shape. Currently, the price for December-delivered WTI contracts is about $77 per barrel, approximately $25 lower than the May contracts, as investors frantically purchase spot oil to cope with current supply disruptions while betting that the conflict may ease in the coming months. In the physical spot market, some Brent crude prices have already surpassed $140 per barrel. Stratas Advisors President Pasi warned that as the US announces a naval blockade on Iranian ports, the premium situation becomes more complex, with spot Brent prices potentially testing the $160 to $190 range in the coming weeks. If prices remain high for an extended period, it could trigger severe 'demand destruction,' forcing consumers to significantly cut back on usage and potentially leading to a global economic recession. Analysts suggest that this may also be the only leverage that ultimately forces both the US and Iran back to the negotiating table.

On April 14, BlackRock stated that the impact of the Iran war on the markets is manageable, and coupled with strong corporate profit prospects, it has upgraded its rating on US stocks from 'Neutral' to 'Overweight'. BlackRock noted that it had previously reduced investment exposure due to geopolitical risks, but has now observed two key signals prompting a reassessment of risk: the expected recovery of shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and the macroeconomic impacts remaining within manageable limits. These factors have alleviated concerns about the long-term impact of the war on global economic growth. Strategists indicated that, in the context of strong corporate profits and limited damage to the global economy, they have increased allocations to the US and emerging markets, while continuing to monitor profit margins in first-quarter earnings reports; they also maintain a preference for investment opportunities with structural growth themes, such as those related to the defense industry.

According to Cointelegraph, blockchain analytics firm Glassnode expects that even though the Shapella update will unlock staked ETH, less than 1% are planning to sell. The analytics company said that only 253 validators had signed up to exit. Apart from this, there are also mechanisms in place to prevent a massive flood of ETH supply from being dumped in the markets at the same time.
One of the expected effects of the Shapella update is the onboarding of more institutional investors to Ethereum. Freddy Zwanzger, Ethereum ecosystem lead at Blockdaemon, foresees that there may be more interest in ETH staking opportunities from larger investors since there’s a clear withdrawal option in place now.
