North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has overseen a ground test of a high-power solid-fuel engine using carbon fiber composite materials, expressing satisfaction with the results. According to RTHK, the Korean Central News Agency reported that the upgraded engine boasts a maximum thrust of 2,500 kilonewtons, marking a 26% increase over the solid-fuel engine revealed in September of last year. This test is part of North Korea's new five-year defense development plan. Yonhap News Agency cited analysts suggesting that this engine might be used in the development of the Hwasong-20 intercontinental ballistic missile. North Korea's actions could be intended as a warning to the United States, indicating that its strategic capabilities differ from Iran's and should not be underestimated. Additionally, Kim Jong-un inspected a tank capability assessment test organized by the Defense Science Academy's Armored Weapons Research Institute. He noted that the test confirmed the new main battle tank's interception system, which is capable of countering nearly all existing anti-tank measures.

The conflict between Israel and Iran has disrupted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz for nearly a month, causing a significant rise in global oil prices. According to Odaily, this surge is impacting the global energy supply chain and leading to a potential rebound in inflation worldwide. The increase in oil prices is expected to affect various industries, including energy, food, transportation, and chemicals, with countries heavily reliant on energy imports, such as Europe, Japan, and India, facing heightened pressure. The United States, despite being a net energy exporter, may experience entrenched inflation, complicating the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions. Over the past three weeks, the average gasoline price in the U.S. has risen by more than 30%, reversing the previous trend of declining inflation and altering market expectations for interest rate cuts. Prolonged high-interest rates could suppress the U.S. housing market, corporate financing, and stock valuations. This situation is particularly significant in a U.S. midterm election year, as gasoline prices are a sensitive issue for voters. Globally, economic growth may slow down as high oil prices reduce disposable income and non-energy consumption while increasing production costs for businesses.

A whale recently sold 1,870 XAUT at an average price of $4,489, according to Odaily. This transaction occurred nine hours ago and resulted in a loss of approximately $1.1 million, as the XAUT was originally purchased two weeks ago at $5,075.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, a whale sold 1,870 XAUTs at an average price of $4,489 nine hours ago. These XAUTs were purchased by him two weeks ago at $5,075. This transaction resulted in a loss of approximately $1.1 million for him.

With the Iraq War nearing its one-month mark, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted, disrupting the global energy supply system and causing international oil prices to soar. Firstly, global inflation faces a full-blown rebound, and rising oil prices will be transmitted along the entire industrial chain. Costs across all sectors, including energy, food, transportation, and chemicals, will surge, with economies heavily reliant on energy imports, such as Europe, Japan, and India, facing even greater pressure. The US, a net energy exporter, may see its inflation stickiness solidify, putting the Federal Reserve's monetary policy in a dilemma. Currently, the average price of gasoline in the US has surged by over 30% in three weeks, directly reversing the previous downward trend in inflation and completely altering market expectations for interest rate cuts. A prolonged high-interest-rate environment will directly suppress the US housing market, corporate financing, and stock market valuations. This is especially true this year, a US midterm election year, where gasoline prices are one of the most sensitive indicators of livelihood for American voters. For global economic growth, this will lead to a slowdown, as high oil prices directly erode disposable income, squeeze non-energy consumption, and also increase production costs for businesses.

Anthropic is reportedly testing a new AI model named 'Mythos,' which is described as posing unprecedented cybersecurity risks. According to ChainCatcher, this development could have a direct impact on the cryptocurrency industry. As AI capabilities advance, their role in smart contract auditing, vulnerability detection, and attack automation is expected to increase, potentially intensifying the offensive and defensive dynamics in decentralized finance (DeFi). Recent events, such as Ripple's AI security upgrades, the Ethereum Foundation's focus on quantum-resistant security, and the Resolv stablecoin's de-pegging due to contract vulnerabilities, highlight the importance of addressing security issues. Currently, the Mythos model is available only to early access clients due to its high costs and sensitive capabilities, and it is not yet ready for a full release.

The Trump administration is reportedly fluctuating between declaring an end to the conflict and threatening to escalate military actions. According to BlockBeats, the White House press secretary warned that if Iran does not abandon its nuclear ambitions and cease threats against the U.S. and its allies, U.S. President Donald Trump is prepared to launch a devastating strike. American officials have disclosed that over the past month, there have been discussions within the Trump administration about potentially seizing Kharg Island, a crucial Iranian oil export hub in the Persian Gulf, and conducting raids on coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz to locate and destroy weapons that could be used against commercial ships and military vessels. PolyBeats monitoring indicates that on the prediction market Polymarket, there is a 3% probability that Kharg Island will no longer be under Iranian control by the end of the month, with a 30% probability by the end of April.

European countries have begun implementing daylight saving time, leading to changes in the financial markets' trading hours and the release schedule of economic data. According to PANews, the shift means that these activities will occur one hour earlier compared to winter time.

BNP Paribas has officially announced the launch of six exchange-traded notes (ETNs) linked to crypto assets, providing investors with indirect exposure to assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum without the need to hold them directly. According to Foresight News, these products are based on the performance of crypto assets and are issued by several well-known asset management firms, adhering to the MiFID II regulatory framework to enhance investor protection. The ETNs will be available for subscription to individual clients, entrepreneurial clients, and private banking clients in France starting March 30, 2026, with plans to gradually expand to a broader wealth management clientele.

Several European countries have begun observing daylight saving time, meaning that trading hours for European financial markets and the release of economic data will be one hour earlier than during standard time. (Jinshi)

The significant correction in gold prices this time is the result of the resonance of multiple macroeconomic factors at a specific stage. Its essence is the temporary suppression of long-term safe-haven logic by short-term pricing logic, rather than the disappearance of gold's safe-haven attributes.

The physical properties of gold and silver make them the ultimate means of storing value that transcends economic cycles.

Just 15 minutes before US President Trump withdrew his threat to strike Iranian power plants, citing "productive dialogue with Iran," oil futures worth approximately $580 million changed hands rapidly.

On March 5, 2026, the American Banking Association did something unusual: it publicly rejected a compromise negotiated by the White House over several weeks. Just two days earlier, Trump had publicly warned on Truth Social that banks were "hijacking the bill."

Raphaël Thuin of Tikehau Capital points directly to the core contradiction: "The traditional concept of safe-haven assets is increasingly being challenged. The ever-evolving dynamics of the global economy and financial markets have complicated this narrative."
