Major New York stock indexes tumbled across the board as oil prices surged on reports of strikes on energy facilities in the Middle East. Jerome Powell's hawkish remarks, favoring monetary tightening, also froze investor sentiment as the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady. On March 18 (local time), the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 46,225.15 on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), down 768.11 points, or 1.63%, from the previous session. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 91.39 points, or 1.36%, to 6,624.70, while the Nasdaq Composite ended at 22,152.42, down 327.11 points, or 1.46%. Oil prices, which had shown signs of stabilizing at one point, jumped sharply that day. Israel bombed Iran's largest gas field, and Iran retaliated with airstrikes on energy facilities in neighboring countries. Israel attacked South Pars, Iran's largest gas field, and a natural gas refining complex in Asaluyeh on Iran's southwestern coast that day. Iran responded with missile strikes on gas facilities concentrated in Qatar, which accounts for 20% of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply. Brent crude futures for May delivery settled at $107.38 a barrel, up 3.8% from the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures for April delivery closed at $96.32 a barrel, up 0.1%. Inflation data also unsettled the market. The U.S. Labor Department reported that the producer price index (PPI) for February rose 0.7% from the previous month, well above analysts' forecast of 0.3%. The year-on-year increase was 3.4%, the highest in a year. At the March Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting that concluded that day, Powell said rising oil prices could add to inflationary pressure and weigh on U.S. economic growth. The Fed left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.50~3.75%. Powell said, "Inflation is expected to ease to some extent, but not as much as had been hoped," adding, "The rate outlook depends on economic performance, so there will be no rate cuts unless the economy makes progress." Micron, widely seen as a barometer for earnings in the memory chip industry, fell 2% in after-hours trading despite posting blowout earnings that day. Micron announced quarterly revenue of $23.8 billion and earnings per share of $12.2. Both figures were far above market expectations. However, investors' expectations had risen too high, and the spread of the Middle East war capped the stock's gains.

As Bitcoin (BTC) briefly broke above $75,000 before falling back, major altcoins rose across the board, signaling a broad rebound spreading through the overall market. According to crypto-focused media outlet CoinDesk on March 17, Bitcoin climbed as high as $75,912 intraday before pulling back to around $74,372. Analysts attribute the rise more to derivatives position unwinds than to fresh buying inflows. CoinDesk explained that “prices rose as market makers bought spot to hedge during the liquidation of a large $60,000 put-options position.” After slipping back below a key support level around $74,400, the market also showed signs of lacking additional upside momentum. A broad rebound emerged across the market. Over the past seven days, Ethereum (ETH) has risen about 13%, XRP (XRP) 11%, and Solana (SOL) 9.7%. Dogecoin (DOGE) gained 9.5% and Binance Coin (BNB) 5%, with most major assets posting gains of 5% or more. This is seen as the broadest upswing since before and after the Iran war. Institutional inflows also appear to have contributed to the rebound. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded net inflows of about $767 million last week, extending the streak to three consecutive weeks. That marks a reversal from net outflows of more than about $3 billion earlier this year. The narrowing gap between Bitcoin and gold returns is also drawing attention. Bitcoin, which had underperformed gold earlier this year, posted stronger returns than gold this month, with correlation also improving. That has brought the “digital gold” narrative back into focus. Markets are pointing to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy direction as a key driver of short-term volatility. While the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is widely expected to hold the benchmark rate at 3.5~3.75%, the dot plot and remarks by Chair Jerome Powell are expected to influence future risk-asset moves. In particular, uncertainty over the policy path has grown as inflation pressure from rising international oil prices and a cooling labor market appear at the same time. Markets are focusing less on the meeting outcome itself and more on signals about the future rate path.

Starcloud, a space data center startup backed by Nvidia, said it plans to begin mining bitcoin in space after launching a satellite later this year. According to Cointelegraph on the 9th (local time), Starcloud CEO Philip Johnston said, “We plan to start mining bitcoin from the second spacecraft to be launched this year, and we will be the first company to mine bitcoin in space.” In an interview, Johnston explained that deploying application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) designed for bitcoin mining in a space computing environment could be a highly promising use case. “Graphics processing units (GPUs) are about 30 times more expensive per watt than ASICs,” he said. “If a 1-kilowatt-class GPU chip costs about $30,000, an ASIC with the same power draw is about $1,000.” He also argued that “since bitcoin mining is an industry that continuously consumes about 20 gigawatts (GW) of electricity, in the long run it could be more economical to mine in space than on the ground.” Starcloud was founded in early 2024 with the goal of building space-based data centers to address rising power demand from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. In November last year, it placed a satellite equipped with Nvidia’s H100 GPU into orbit, marking the first instance of a high-performance GPU operating in space. The company envisions building a space data center network comprising about 88,000 satellites, with solar power expected to be the primary energy source. Separately, tech entrepreneurs Jose E. Puente and Carlos Puente last year proposed the concept of transmitting bitcoin over an interplanetary network. They said that, in theory, using optical communication links and a satellite relay network could deliver bitcoin transactions from Earth to Mars in about 3 minutes. However, they assessed that directly mining bitcoin on Mars would be impractical due to interplanetary communication latency. Bitcoin mining profitability has recently deteriorated amid falling prices. Bitcoin is down about 48% from the peak of about $126,080 recorded in October last year. Still, mining difficulty has eased by about 7%, falling from 155.9 trillion recorded in November last year to roughly 145 trillion recently, partially reducing the burden on miners.

US President Donald Trump said that while the timing for ending the military conflict with Iran would be determined in consultation with Israel, the final decision would be made by the United States. According to CNN on the 8th (local time), Trump said regarding when to end the war with Iran, "We will decide together with Israel," while adding, "The final authority will rest with the United States." He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would take part in the decision-making process. However, on the timing of ending the war, he said it would be decided "at an appropriate time after taking all factors into account." He also suggested that if the United States halts its military operations, Israel likewise would not need to continue the war. In recent days, the United States and Israel have continued strikes targeting Iran's nuclear and military facilities, while Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks, sharply escalating tensions across the Middle East.

Bitcoin slid sharply in the wake of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, yet U.S.-listed companies that have adopted a “Digital Asset Treasury (DAT)” strategy were seen adding to their Bitcoin holdings. According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the 2nd (local time), Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, purchased an additional 3,015 bitcoins between the 23rd of last month and the 1st of this month. The purchases were funded with proceeds raised through sales of common and preferred shares. Over the past six weeks, Strategy has secured more than $900 million through sales of common stock and perpetual preferred shares and used the funds to finance Bitcoin purchases. The company currently holds more than about 720,000 bitcoins. ProCap Financial, led by Anthony Pompliano—often dubbed a Bitcoin evangelist—also bought an additional 450 bitcoins over the same period, taking its total holdings to 5,457. The company is also pursuing shareholder-value initiatives, including share buybacks at a discount to net asset value (NAV).
