The ongoing US-Iran war has had its own series of intense episodes. Such a tumultuous turn of events has led the global markets to undergo severe impact, the one that has ended up spiking the price of oil, thwarting the world’s economic progress for a while. This development is also hinting at recession fears, as warned by the IMF. The International Monetary Fund has recently forecasted a new alarming insight, adding how the prolonged war narratives coupled with oil price spikes may end up pushing the world to encounter recession.Also Read: Bitwise CIO Gives Two Reasons Why Bitcoin Should Be HigherRecession Fears Are Rising AgainIMF headquarters – Source: Arab NewsPer the latest report by the International Monetary Fund, the organization has warned the world of a possible recession amid the current war escalations. The IMF has cut the global growth forecast by 3.1%, warning of a potential recession taking over soon if the current geopolitical tensions continue to wreak havoc.The IMF also explained the situation in depth, with Bull Theory summarizing all facts on X. Per the portal, the IMF explained three scenarios that may emerge from the current situation. Starting with the base case, if the war ends quickly, with oil at $82, global growth stats will stay stable at 3.1%. In an adverse case, the IMF stated that if this war continues to escalate with oil hitting $100, it may then push the global growth stats to hit 2.5%, dropping dramatically.Moreover, in an extreme case, if the war escalations continue to disrupt the global order, then the IMF has projected global growth stats to fall below 2.0%, bringing in a recession alongside it.“Worst case: The conflict escalates, oil spikes further, and financial markets start to crack. Global growth falls to 2.0%.”IMF Projections Pre-WarThe bull theory post went ahead to share additional details, including how the IMF

Income ETFs could be bitcoin’s volatility kill switch



Investors who thrive on bitcoin’s wild price swings may be in for disappointment. Major banks are preparing to introduce new products that could dampen volatility in a market that has already become significantly calmer in recent years.

Most recently, Goldman Sachs filed an application for a Bitcoin Premium Income exchange-traded fund (ETF). The proposed fund relies on selling (writing) options tied to bitcoin-linked exchange-traded products to generate income while providing investors with exposure to the cryptocurrency. BlackRock is looking to launch a similar product.

Selling options is essentially writing insurance against price swings. The writers collect a premium in exchange for providing downside or upside protection, while being exposed to potentially significant losses if the market moves sharply. Traders often use covered strategies — holding the underlying asset or ETFs while writing options — to partially offset risk.

If approved, the ETFs may employ similar covered options strategies to generate yield, though the exact structures will vary by product.

Whatever the case, the net impact would be calmer market conditions. That's because when options are sold in large numbers, dealers or market makers who take the other side of these trades end up with long positions. To manage their risks, these entities then dynamically hedge by buying the underlying asset on declines and selling on rallies. This dynamic is called hedging the positive gamma exposure, and it tends to restrain volatility.

In addition, the availability of yield-generating institutional-grade products may suck capital away from pure speculative bets, further lowering realized volatility over time. Bitcoin's implied volatility has been declining for three years, primarily due to the growing popularity of options-selling strategies.
