On June 4, The New York Times reported that even if the United States and Iran reach a peace agreement in the future, it may still take a long time for normal shipping to resume in the Strait of Hormuz. Due to increased security risks and soaring war insurance costs, global energy trade is unlikely to return to pre-war levels in the short term. Oil-producing countries such as the United States, Canada, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela are increasing crude oil production, and the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) continues to release stocks to alleviate supply shortages. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are diverting some transportation demands that originally relied on the Strait of Hormuz through overland pipelines. However, the economy of the Gulf region is still under significant pressure. Qatar's liquefied natural gas exports are highly dependent on the Strait of Hormuz, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects its economy to shrink by about 9% this year; the overall economic growth expectations for Gulf countries have also been significantly downgraded. Limited energy supply has driven up prices for natural gas, fertilizers, and food, further exacerbating global inflationary pressures. However, as the market seeks alternative supply sources, adjusts consumption structures, and gradually releases new production capacity, the impact of the Hormuz crisis on the market is shifting from short-term shocks to long-term risk pricing. In the future, the market's focus may return to liquidity, interest rate policies, and the fundamentals of the global economy.

On June 4, BSCN reported that long-time Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff recently stated that Tether's market cap will not only surpass Ethereum in the future but will ultimately exceed Bitcoin as well. He believes that the only uncertainty is not the outcome, but rather how long the process will take to complete. Schiff noted that as the use of stablecoins expands in payments, transaction settlements, and the circulation of digital dollars, the demand for USDT may continue to grow at a faster pace than volatile assets like Bitcoin. He maintains that Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value, while stablecoins have a clearer utility in actual financial activities. However, Schiff also mentioned that after a recent market downturn, Bitcoin has found short-term support around $61,000. BTC has rebounded over $2,000 from its recent low, indicating that there is some buying strength in that area.

On June 4, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that he does not plan to contribute financially to this year's U.S. midterm elections, while other Silicon Valley billionaires have pledged to invest heavily in efforts to influence the elections that will determine control of Congress. During his visit to Washington on Wednesday, Altman expressed understanding for those who commit to funding campaigns, despite his own decision against political donations. "You can't hold us to a different standard than all other competitors. If they try to unite against us with money, we must have the ability to fight back," Altman said after meeting with Senator Bernie Sanders on Capitol Hill. "But I also very much hope to see the overall rules change. I want to see money exit the political arena," he added. (Sina Finance)

According to Beating monitoring, at TSMC's annual shareholder meeting held in Hsinchu on Thursday, Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei stated that global chip supply will not be able to meet the surging demand for AI in the coming years. Wei pointed out that even with the new manufacturing capacity being built in the U.S., TSMC still cannot fully satisfy the enormous demand from American customers, and achieving a balance between supply and demand will take a long time. Despite the tight supply situation, Wei reaffirmed TSMC's forecast of over 30% sales growth this year. In April, TSMC raised its full-year sales guidance, expecting capital expenditures to approach the upper limit of the $56 billion forecast range, while global major hyperscale cloud service providers are expected to spend a record $725 billion in the AI sector this year. Due to disappointing performance outlooks from clients like Broadcom, TSMC's stock price in Taipei fell slightly by 1% today, but it has more than quadrupled over the past three years. In response to calls for sharing the AI boom's benefits, Wei reiterated at the meeting that TSMC employees' average bonuses will increase by over 30% this year.
