Strategy May Resume BTC Buying as Geopolitical Risks and Delayed Fed Cuts Weigh on Markets

Markets opened mixed on June 8, 2026, with stock index futures stabilizing after Friday’s tech selloff while Bitcoin sentiment received potential support from renewed institutional accumulation. Iran’s planned transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing Iran-Israel tensions elevated geopolitical risks for energy and risk assets. Goldman Sachs pushed back its rate-cut forecast to 2027 after strong U.S. jobs data, keeping pressure on rate-sensitive markets. The S&P 500 traded at 7,383.68, down 2.65%. Overall tone remains cautious yet constructive for BTC if Strategy resumes purchases.
