Bank of America reports that Kalshi has captured a significant 91% share of the U.S. prediction market. According to NS3.AI, the platform's weekly trading volume has experienced a notable increase over the past year.

Nick Timiraos, often referred to as the 'Fed's mouthpiece,' has highlighted that the ceasefire between the US and Iran presents an opportunity to mitigate the severe threats to the global economy. According to Jin10, this development, however, may pose a different challenge for the Federal Reserve. The ongoing volatility in energy prices could keep inflation at elevated levels, yet not severe enough to disrupt demand, potentially prolonging the current interest rate stance. The Federal Reserve's March meeting minutes emphasized that the conflict was not the primary reason for the Fed's reluctance to cut rates, but it has complicated the already cautious stance. Even before the conflict, the path to rate cuts was narrow. The labor market has stabilized, easing recession fears, but progress towards the Fed's 2% inflation target has stalled. In March, the Fed did not adjust interest rates, partly due to concerns about the long-term risks of the conflict. The potential for the conflict to escalate and drag down economic growth, leading to a recession, was a strong argument for resuming rate cuts. Paradoxically, the end of the conflict might make it harder for the Fed to implement easing policies in the short term. This is because the ceasefire removes the worst-case economic scenario of severe price hikes disrupting supply chains and demand, which is arguably more critical than eliminating new inflationary pressures.

Anthropic has decided to restrict access to its Claude Mythos AI system to vetted cybersecurity groups. According to NS3.AI, this decision follows pre-release tests that revealed thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities and an 84% exploit success rate on Firefox 147's JavaScript engine. Anthropic's comprehensive 244-page system card highlighted that many existing cyber benchmarks were no longer adequately informative and disclosed significant evaluation oversights discovered late in the testing process.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has appointed David Woodcock as the new enforcement director, following the departure of Margaret Ryan. According to NS3.AI, SEC Chair Paul Atkins emphasized the importance of Woodcock's return during a pivotal period for the agency, as it intensifies efforts to address misconduct that significantly impacts investors. This leadership transition occurs amidst growing scrutiny from lawmakers regarding the SEC's approach to cryptocurrency cases, particularly after the agency recently dropped or dismissed several cases involving prominent crypto companies.

Nunchuk has introduced two open-source repositories under the MIT license aimed at enhancing Bitcoin agents. According to NS3.AI, these repositories include a wallet command-line interface (CLI) and an Agent Skills layer. The design incorporates shared custody and policy co-signing, allowing AI agents to manage routine tasks while users retain control over transactions that exceed predefined limits.

Bitcoin experienced a rebound after a two-week ceasefire led to a decrease in oil prices. According to NS3.AI, the odds of U.S. President Donald Trump being impeached before the end of his term were at 64% on April 7, as indicated by Polymarket. A similar contract on Kalshi showed a 67% probability during the same period. Prior to the ceasefire, President Trump's ultimatum to Iran on April 7 had driven Brent crude prices above $109 and WTI above $114 due to increased risks in the Strait of Hormuz. Following the truce, oil prices dropped significantly, and Bitcoin's value increased alongside declining Treasury yields and a rally in equities.

Shipowners are increasingly seeking insurance coverage to transit the Strait of Hormuz following the recent ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that broker McGill and Partners reported a surge in 'huge volume requests' for insurance. The strategic waterway, crucial for global oil shipments, has been a focal point of geopolitical tensions. The ceasefire has prompted shipowners to secure their vessels against potential risks as they navigate this critical maritime route.

U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed Iran's 10-point proposal, deeming it inadequate. According to NS3.AI, the White House announced that the proposal did not meet the necessary criteria for consideration. This rejection highlights ongoing tensions between the two nations as they navigate complex diplomatic relations.

Iran's parliamentary speaker has announced that three critical provisions of the 10-point proposal were violated before negotiations began. According to Odaily, these violations include the failure to adhere to the ceasefire terms in Lebanon, as highlighted by Pakistan's Prime Minister, who called for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire in all regions, including Lebanon. Additionally, an invading drone entered Iranian airspace and was destroyed in Larestan, Fars Province, breaching the prohibition against further airspace violations. Furthermore, Iran's right to uranium enrichment, outlined in the framework's sixth article, was denied. These actions have undermined the 'practical conditions' intended as the basis for negotiations, making bilateral ceasefire or talks unreasonable.

伊朗议会议长发表声明称，10 点提案中的三项关键条款在谈判启动前已被违反。包括：一、不遵守《十点提案》中关于在黎巴嫩实现停火的条款——巴基斯坦总理已明确提及并宣称这是“在所有地方，包括黎巴嫩和其他地区，立即生效的全面停火”；二、一架入侵的无人机进入伊朗领空，在法尔斯省拉尔市被摧毁，这明显违反了禁止任何进一步侵犯伊朗领空的条款；三、否认伊朗的浓缩铀权利，这包含在框架的第六条中。如今，本应作为谈判基础的“切实可行的条件”已遭到公然且明确的破坏，甚至在谈判开始之前就已经如此。在这种情况下，实行双边停火或进行谈判是不合理的。(金十)
