Polygon has announced the completion of a privacy feature upgrade for its Polygon CDK, according to Foresight News. The upgrade introduces a Validium configuration based on the Succinct SP1 Hypercube zero-knowledge proof system. This allows institutions to retain raw transaction data within their own infrastructure while submitting encrypted commitments and zero-knowledge proofs to Ethereum, achieving 'private data, public verification.' The upgrade also maintains liquidity interoperability with Ethereum and other chains through AggLayer. The upgrade offers five combinable privacy levels, including permissioned access, confidential chains (Validium), trusted execution environments (TEE), fully homomorphic encryption tokens (FHE), and client-side zero-knowledge private transactions. It supports integration with enterprise identity systems such as Okta and Azure AD. The enhancements are primarily aimed at traditional financial institutions like banks, payment companies, and asset management firms planning to transition to blockchain technology.

Gold prices rebounded this week after experiencing a pullback, driven by renewed buying interest. According to Jin10, stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation data and stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations have cast a shadow over market prospects. Mitsubishi UFJ analyst Soojin Kim noted that the market has already priced in a more than 40% probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike by the end of the year, which has increased U.S. Treasury yields and pressured gold. She added that despite the pressure from potential rate hikes and high inflation triggered by soaring energy prices, gold prices have shown relative resilience due to strong demand from central banks.

Sweden's Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Bunge, stated that the Swedish economy is beginning from a favorable position. According to Jin10, Bunge highlighted that inflation is low and there is ample idle capacity within the economy.

The Swedish Central Bank has released a statement from its recent meeting minutes, highlighting the significant uncertainty posed by the ongoing war and its potential impact on the economy. According to Jin10, the bank indicated that monetary policy might need to be adjusted to ensure future inflation targets are met. The statement underscores the challenges faced by central banks in navigating economic stability amid geopolitical tensions.

Japan's international balance of payments data released on Wednesday revealed that Japanese investors sold a net total of 4.67 trillion yen, equivalent to $29.6 billion, in U.S. Treasury, agency, and municipal bonds in the three months ending March 31. According to Odaily, this marks the highest level since the second quarter of 2022. In February, the overnight index swap market indicated that traders initially expected the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates twice this year. However, following tensions between the U.S. and Israel impacting the situation in Iran, crude oil prices surged by approximately 50%, leading to increased inflation expectations and a shift in rate pricing towards a Federal Reserve rate hike.
