Key Takeaways President Trump stated in a Fox News interview that he will fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell if he does not leave office on time, adding he has been "holding back" from firing himTrump indicated the DOJ investigation into Powell's handling of a Fed renovation project will continue, removing a key condition Powell had set for his voluntary departurePowell's chair term expires in May, but his governor term runs until 2028; Powell has said he will not resign until the DOJ investigation is "truly and thoroughly over"Treasury Secretary Bessant acknowledged uncertainty over whether Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh will be confirmed before May 16Polymarket prices the probability of Warsh being confirmed as Fed Chair before May 15 at 43% President Trump escalated his confrontation with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday, stating in a Fox News interview that he would fire Powell if he fails to leave office on time and signaling that the Justice Department investigation into Powell will not be dropped. "If he doesn't leave on time, I have to fire him. I've been holding back from firing him. I want to fire him, but I hate controversy. I hope there's no controversy. But he will be fired," Trump said. A Standoff Over Departure Terms The remarks sharpen a standoff that has been building around the Fed leadership transition. Powell's term as chair expires in May, but his term as a Federal Reserve governor runs until 2028. Powell has previously stated he intends to serve as interim chair if a confirmed successor is not in place by the time his chair term ends -- and has refused to resign from his governorship until the DOJ investigation into a Fed building renovation project is "truly and thoroughly over." Trump's comments close off a potential off-ramp. By indicating there are no plans to end the DOJ investigation -- stating flatly "it has to be done" -- Trump removes the condition Powell set for a voluntary exit, making a forced removal or prolonged standoff increasingly likely. Warsh Confirmation Timeline Uncertain Adding to the uncertainty, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant acknowledged Tuesday that it remains unclear whether Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh will be confirmed before May 16, while expressing hope that "everyone will work together to get Warsh into the Federal Reserve in May." Warsh's Senate confirmation hearing is scheduled for April 21. Polymarket currently prices the probability of Warsh being officially confirmed as Fed Chair before May 15 at 43%, reflecting meaningful uncertainty around the timeline even as the hearing approaches.

Key Takeaways US and Iran negotiators made progress Tuesday toward a framework agreement to end the war, with one official describing Trump's team as "close to their goal," per AxiosTrump's negotiating team -- VP Vance, Middle East envoy Witkov, and senior advisor Kushner -- continued exchanging draft agreements with Iran and mediatorsA ceasefire extension will be needed to negotiate final details if a framework is reached, as the full agreement is too complex to complete within two daysPolymarket currently prices a 27% probability of a permanent peace agreement before April 22, 42% before April 30, and 60% before May 31 US and Iranian negotiators moved closer to a framework agreement to end the war on Tuesday, with two US officials telling Axios that talks made meaningful progress and that Trump's team is "close to their goal." According to the officials, Trump's negotiating team -- comprising Vice President JD Vance, Middle East envoy Steve Witkov, and senior advisor Jared Kushner -- has been in ongoing contact with Iranian counterparts and mediators, exchanging draft agreements in an effort to reach a structured settlement. One official struck a cautiously optimistic tone, stating: "We want an agreement, and some people in Iran want one too. The key is getting the entire Iranian government to agree" -- a comment that signals internal divisions within Tehran remain a potential sticking point. Ceasefire Extension Likely Needed Sources told Axios that even if a framework agreement is reached in the near term, a ceasefire extension will be required to allow negotiators to work through the details of a permanent deal, which are described as "complex and difficult to complete within two days." Polymarket Odds Shift Toward May Resolution Prediction market Polymarket reflects growing but measured optimism around a resolution timeline. According to PolyBeats data, the probability of a permanent US-Iran peace agreement is currently priced at 27% before April 22, rising to 42% before April 30, and 60% before May 31 -- suggesting markets view a late-May resolution as the most likely scenario if talks continue to progress. Crypto Market Implications Geopolitical de-escalation between the US and Iran has been a key driver of Bitcoin's recent recovery above $75,000, with easing war risk directly supporting risk appetite across crypto and equity markets. A formal framework agreement or ceasefire extension would likely provide further tailwind for risk assets, while a breakdown in talks -- particularly given the complexity of finalizing details -- remains the primary downside risk to the current macro-driven rally.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson criticized a proposal from the United States, stating it was unrealistic for Iran to accept the package in its entirety. According to Foresight News, the spokesperson emphasized that the proposal does not align with the principles of negotiation and dialogue. Previously, Iran had submitted a list of 10 ceasefire terms to the U.S. through Pakistan, in response to the U.S.'s 15-point ceasefire plan. The spokesperson asserted that Iran, with the cooperation of Persian Gulf countries, is fully capable of ensuring security in the Middle East, provided the U.S. ceases military interventions and provocations. He warned that external interference would only complicate matters further. The spokesperson also noted that many European countries are wisely avoiding falling into the U.S.'s military trap.

영국 금융감독청(FCA)은 2027년 10월 25일부터 시행될 포괄적인 규제 체제의 정착을 촉진하기 위해, 영국의 향후 암호화폐 규제 제도에 관한 지침 초안에 대한 업계의 의견을 수렴하고 있다고 발표했다. 공지에 따르면, 이번 의견 수렴은 2026년 6월 3일까지 진행되며, 기업들이 신규 규정이 자사 사업에 미치는 영향을 이해하도록 돕고, 스테이블코인 발행, 암호화폐 거래, 수탁 및 스테이킹 등 핵심 분야에 대한 규정 준수 지침을 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다. FCA는 “경쟁력 있고 지속 가능한” 암호화폐 시장을 구축하여, 규제 요건을 준수하는 기관들이 영국 이용자들에게 더 나은 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 하기를 희망한다고 밝혔다. 또한 FCA는 관련 암호화폐 기업의 인가 신청 접수가 2026년 9월에 시작되어 2027년 2월까지 진행될 예정이라고 덧붙였다. 향후 모든 암호화폐 자산 서비스 제공 기관은 '금융서비스 및 시장법(FSMA)'에 따라 인가를 받아야 하며, 이전에 자금세탁방지(AML) 체계 하에 등록된 경우에도 자동으로 면제되지 않는다. 이번 지침은 영국이 암호화폐 규제 체계를 점진적으로 정비하는 데 있어 중요한 한 걸음으로 간주되며, 부분적 규제에서 전면적인 라이선스 제도로의 전환이 가속화되고 있음을 시사한다.
