On June 6th, Federal Reserve's Harker stated that as the labor market appears to be balancing, recent rate hikes may be appropriate. Harker said that although she does not pay excessive attention to any single data point, today's employment report once again confirms that the labor market seems to be roughly in balance. She stated that the unemployment rate remains at 4.3%, "which is essentially consistent with my definition of maximum employment." "Given the uncertainty about the economic outlook, it is reasonable to keep interest rates steady for now. But if recent trends continue, action ma

On June 3, in his final routine speech before a highly anticipated policy meeting scheduled soon, Kazuo Ueda, Governor of the Bank of Japan, said that the Bank of Japan needs to continue raising interest rates based on economic conditions and inflation. Ueda said, “For example, if the central bank judges that the probability of achieving the baseline scenario will increase—that is, if tensions in the Middle East gradually ease, and with moderate economic growth, core inflation will gradually return to around 2%—then I believe the central bank will continue to raise the policy interest rate at

On May 30, according to CCTV Finance, at a meeting hosted by investment firm Bernstein, the CEO of U.S. oil major Chevron, Mike Worth, said that due to the situation in Iran, global crude oil inventories have been continuously falling, and oil prices are very likely to rise over the next two months. The Financial Times reported that Worth’s remarks reflect widespread concern: even if the parties to the conflict finalize a ceasefire agreement, the conflict’s negative impact on energy prices will continue for several months. In addition, according to CNN on the 28th, affected by the ongoing geop

May 29th, CryproQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju stated that once profit-taking begins to trigger a chain reaction, the profit and loss (PnL) levels of Bitcoin investors typically decline for about 18 months. Since this trend shifted in October 2025, the current bear market could last until early 2027. The trend will only truly reverse when unrealized profits start to rise again and realized profits begin to decline. At the moment, we have not yet seen this situation occur.

On May 27th, Block's Cash App began rolling out the USDC payment feature in phases, currently available to 25% of its nearly 60 million users, with plans to cover all users by the end of this weekend.

On April 15th, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that she still believes the United States may cut interest rates later this year, but oil price fluctuations triggered by the Iran war have cast a shadow over the outlook. Yellen pointed out that this is a broad supply shock affecting multiple sectors including gasoline, liquefied natural gas, fertilizers, food, shipping costs, and semiconductors. While she does not rule out the possibility of raising interest rates, stable long-term inflation expectations suggest that such a scenario is unlikely. She expects that interest rate

On April 15th, Ethereum recently outperformed Bitcoin, with the ETH/BTC exchange rate rising to approximately 0.0313, the highest level in three months, but still well below the peak in January.
The improvement in this ratio is attributed to strong on-chain activity on Ethereum: quarterly new user growth surged by 82%, transaction volume hit a record high, and the total supply of stablecoins reached a historic peak of $180 billion.
Analysts say that Ethereum must close above the 0.035 level on the weekly chart to signal that the capital rotation into Ethereum is sustainable rather than a short

On April 15, a senior official from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said on Wednesday that Japan plans to release about 36 million barrels of national oil reserves starting in early May, with contracts with refineries expected to be finalized by the end of April. Last week, Japanese Prime Minister Kaya Hayami said Japan plans to draw on a 20-day oil reserve starting in May to ensure stable domestic supply. At the same time, Japan is also seeking oil resources outside the Middle East, as ongoing war between the United States, Israel, and Iran has disrupted global energy transpor

According to The New York Post, U.S. President Trump said in a phone interview on Tuesday that the United States will not return to Pakistan for any future peace negotiations with Iran. Previously, the U.S. delegation concluded marathon-style talks over the weekend but failed to reach an agreement. "Things are happening, but a bit slowly," he said, "We might choose another location, we already have a backup plan." When asked if Turkey was being considered, Trump said, "No, pick a more central place. Maybe Europe." According to the report, after a brief exchange with reporters, Trump called bac

According to The Wall Street Journal, two U.S. officials revealed that as part of the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, ships associated with Iran that are seized by the U.S. military will be taken to a (temporary) detention zone in the Arabian Sea or Indian Ocean, while a permanent location will be determined. One official stated that the U.S. is looking for ships that may be seized, although after the operation began, several oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz changed course. According to U.S. Central Command, during the first 24 hours of the blockade operation that started Monday morning,

All parties should immediately de-escalate tensions and take advantage of the ceasefire betw

On April 15th, the Central Bank of Russia announced plans to require all cryptocurrency traders to complete identity verification (KYC) and restrict unverified users from withdrawing crypto assets from domestic platforms to strengthen regulation of the local crypto market.

On April 15, according to CNN, a U.S. official stated that the U.S. Navy is currently not escorting any ships through the Strait of Hormuz, but has communicated to commercial vessels (ships that have not entered or exited Iranian ports) that the passage is safe and encourages passage. The official said that the United States has not imposed a comprehensive blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, only blocking ships entering or leaving Iranian ports along the entire Iranian coast. The official also said that last weekend, the U.S. dispatched a destroyer through the Strait of Hormuz to demonstrate tha

On April 15th, according to Reuters, two U.S. government officials stated on Tuesday that the Trump administration will allow the 30-day sanctions waiver targeting Iran's maritime oil to expire later this week. Currently, the U.S. is enforcing a blockade on shipments from Iranian ports. This waiver, issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on March 20th, allowed approximately 140 million barrels of oil to enter the global market and alleviated energy supply pressures during the Iran war. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated last month that the waiver would expire on April 19th. At

On April 14th, sources said that the US and Iran delegations will hold negotiations later this week in Pakistan. Investinglive analysts stated that this is essentially the same news we heard earlier on Tuesday, that both sides plan to hold talks in Islamabad on Thursday.

Interestingly, although the latest developments are actually just a re-adjustment of last week's situation, the market is increasingly convinced that there will be a positiv

On April 14, Pakistani sources told Xinhua reporters that it was still unclear whether the next round of talks between the United States and Iran would take place in Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, on April 14.

It then updated the report, quoting an official from the Iranian Embassy in Pakistan, saying that the two delegations might hold talks as early as later this week or at the beginning of next week. The report said that the Iranian delegation h
