Oil price decline raises expectations of a Fed pivot to easing… Bitcoin and gold seen as beneficiaries

Macro analyst Robert van Batenburg said in a Nov. 10 interview with Bitcoin Magazine that falling oil prices could ease inflation and push the Federal Reserve toward monetary easing, a shift he expects to benefit bitcoin and gold. He argued that President Donald Trump appears focused on finding a gradual exit from conflict with Iran rather than escalating it, keeping energy prices contained. The thesis hinges on energy-driven disinflation creating room for looser Fed policy; a renewed U.S.-Iran military escalation would lift energy costs and could keep the central bank in tightening mode.
