According to The Kobeissi Letter, the current financial markets are sending conflicting signals: stocks are rising as if the trade war has ended, gold is increasing as if tensions are escalating, yields are climbing suggesting recession fears are easing, oil prices are dropping as if a recession is imminent, and the US Dollar Index is falling. For crypto traders, these divergent trends indicate heightened uncertainty and increased volatility potential, making risk management crucial. Crypto markets may experience sharp moves in response to sudden changes in traditional assets as traders seek safe-haven or risk-on alternatives (Source: Twitter/@KobeissiLetter, May 20, 2025).
