Two Qatari ships carrying LNG abruptly changed their course before entering the Suez Canal, making a U-turn and heading in the opposite direction to the Gulf of Aden. The recent political crisis involving Qatar and an anti-Qatari coalition led by Saudi Arabia is believed to be the reason. The Suez Canal is controlled by Egypt, which has joined the Saudis in condemning Qatar’s connections to Iran and the Islamic State. As a result, U.K. natural gas futures spiked nearly 4%.

Some analysts believe that Bitcoin is in the middle of a cryptocurrency bubble that sooner or later will burst, leaving overoptimistic investors with a worthless pile of blockchains. Nobody can say for sure how long will the growing cycle continue but it is clear that it will end with an abrupt correction at one point of a time.
