Hormuz Strait reopening hopes lift S&P 500 to record high, bitcoin stays rangebound

Bitcoin regained the $64,000 level and extended modest gains as oil prices tumbled and risk appetite improved on hopes of easing U.S.-Iran tensions and a possible deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. stocks rose, with the S&P 500 hitting a record high. Bitcoin’s advance was capped near its 21-day moving average, though on-chain data showed accumulation. Markets are watching the Hormuz talks and how lower oil may affect September Fed rate expectations.
