Circle shares boosted by Middle East tensions, rising oil, fading rate cut hopes, says Mizuho
Shares of stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) have risen over 20% this week, outperforming the broader market following Israeli and U.S. airstrikes on Iran over the weekend. Japanese bank Mizuho attributed the rally in part to a sharp rise in oil prices, as tensions in the Middle East exploded. Higher crude prices could rekindle inflationary pressures, lowering expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. That dynamic matters for Circle. The company earns the bulk of its revenue from interest income on the U.S. government debt it holds as reserves backing its USDC stablecoin.

Ethereum price rebounded sharply back above the $2,000 psychological support on Monday as market risk-on sentiment improved and as Bitmine made another large purchase of over 50,000 $ETH. Summary Ethereum price has reclaimed the $2,000 supported by institutional dip buying and a brief Bitcoin recovery. A confirmed bearish head and shoulders continues to weigh on investor outlook.

Adobe shares rose 3% in intraday trading on Tuesday following unconfirmed reports that Michael Burry, the investor who famously predicted the 2008 housing collapse, had taken long positions in the software company.

By late 2025, put options against Nvidia and Palantir accounted for nearly 80% of his disclosed portfolio, valued at roughly $1.1 billion…
