New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated that she would rather see Trump "on the golf course" than in the Oval Office. This statement came after Trump issued several strong threats against Iran. Cortez told reporters, "You know, obviously this guy is terrible at golf, but in a sense, we've seen some of the most important military decision-makers in the country trying to keep him away from major decisions. So, in a way, you'd even prefer this guy on the golf course to in the Oval Office. But this also raises some questions about the 25th Amendment, which suggests that if Trump is deemed untrustworthy in the Situation Room and in handling contingencies, then he's unfit to be president."

An article in the Economic Daily, titled "Making Good Use of my country's Word Element Advantages," points out the need to be aware of potential risks associated with word elements, including potential leaks leading to identity theft, forged permissions to steal sensitive data, and exploitative practices such as agents profiting from user commissions. Some criminals have begun targeting word elements, creating consumer traps disguised as "low-priced word element packages" or "word element agents." The article emphasizes the need to continuously improve policies, regulations, and standards, and to regulate word element trading by cracking down on price monopolies, false advertising, and illegal financial activities. It also stresses the importance of resolutely curbing illegal activities such as hoarding for appreciation and off-exchange speculation, guiding word elements back to their original purpose of providing technical services, value settlement, and the transfer of rights.

The Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament) has passed the "Cryptocurrency and Digital Rights Bill" on its first reading, marking a key step towards the legalization of crypto assets in the country. According to the bill, the Bank of Russia will become the core regulatory body for the crypto market, responsible for issuing licenses, approving or prohibiting related transactions, and defining the legality of transactions. The bill proposes to recognize cryptocurrencies as "property," but explicitly prohibits their use as a means of payment domestically; the ruble will remain the sole legal tender. However, given Western sanctions, crypto assets can be used for cross-border trade settlements, including service payments and intellectual property transfers. Furthermore, the bill allows Russian residents to legally invest in crypto assets through licensed institutions, but will implement an investor tiered system, setting tests and annual investment limits for ordinary investors (a suggested cap of 300,000 rubles). Initially, only high-market-cap mainstream assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum will be allowed to trade, with the central bank creating a whitelist. The bill is expected to be formally passed and take effect no later than July 2026. However, some lawmakers and banking professionals have criticized the regulations as overly strict, potentially affecting market activity and even causing funds to remain in the gray market. Simultaneously, supporting legislation is proposed to introduce criminal penalties, with a maximum sentence of seven years imprisonment for illegal cryptocurrency transactions. (Cryptopolitan)

CITIC Futures analysis points out that gold prices were weighed down by two factors: firstly, the impending expiration of the temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, coupled with uncertain prospects for US-Iran negotiations, which weakened buying sentiment; and secondly, the tightening of market expectations for interest rate cuts due to Warsh's emphasis on maintaining the Fed's independence and low inflation during his hearing, and the better-than-expected rebound in March retail sales data. Firstly, the website of the US Senate Banking Committee shows that on April 21, Warsh, the nominee for Fed Chair, stated during his hearing that if appointed and head of the Fed, he would make independent monetary policy decisions, unaffected by any advice or pressure from Trump, and emphasized that low inflation is the Fed's shield. Secondly, US retail sales rose 1.7% month-on-month in March, exceeding the expected 1.4% and the previous value of 0.7%; core retail sales rose 1.9% month-on-month, also exceeding the expected 1.4% and the previous value of 0.7%. Supported by strong retail data, market expectations for Fed rate cuts further narrowed. Third, the temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran is set to expire on April 22nd (Eastern Time). Trump has publicly stated that if the two sides cannot reach an agreement before the ceasefire expires, extending the ceasefire is "extremely unlikely." Iran has also stated its refusal to participate in a second round of negotiations with the US. The uncertain prospects for the negotiations have led to cautious buying sentiment in the gold market, with funds waiting for the situation to become clearer. (Jinshi)
