According to CoinMeta, an analyst named Patrick Munnelly from Tickmill Group pointed out in a report that in an environment of rising interest rates, the valuation of credit assets and stock prices may face pressure. Data from LSEG shows that tensions in the Middle East and soaring oil prices have led market expectations that major central banks will raise interest rates at least three times within the next year. He stated, "If energy prices remain high, the room for central banks to adopt loose monetary policies will narrow, and there will be even more reason to prioritize inflation risks."
