Garrett Jin: Risk Assets to Remain Under Pressure Until Reliable Path through the Strait of Hormuz Reopens
On March 10, Garrett Jin—agent for the "BTC OG Insider Whale"—posted on social media:
"Before Brent crude’s March 9 surge, prices at $85/bbl reflected supply disruptions lasting 2–14 days. At $119.5/bbl, the market was already pricing in supply destruction risks, but the full repricing of that duration is just getting started.
The Hormuz Strait crisis impacts markets through independent, mutually reinforcing channels—not just a spike in risk-off sentiment, but a systemic shift in cross-asset correlations, geographic risk distribution, and how markets price extreme event durations.
