On April 16, Fed's Musalem stated on Wednesday that high oil prices could push the core inflation rate for the remainder of this year nearly one percentage point above the Fed's 2% target, indicating that the Fed may need to keep interest rates unchanged. Musalem said, "We are likely to see some transmission of oil prices to core inflation." By the end of this year, the key measure of price increases will be "slightly below 3%, perhaps around 3%", with further upward risks. He mentioned that the Fed might maintain its policy rate in the current range of 3.50%-3.75% for "some time", while monitoring inflation, employment, and economic data in the coming months, a view shared by many of his colleagues. The impact of last year's tariff hikes may gradually fade this quarter, and housing price inflation is also weakening. With rising oil prices, inflation rates in a range of services remain high; if inflation begins to rise and potentially pull up inflation expectations, he would be open to raising rates. Musalem also noted that the oil market is experiencing its "third negative supply shock in 12 months", compounded by rising tariff rates and stricter immigration regulations, posing risks to the inflation outlook and the job market, potentially impacting economic growth. He believes economic growth this year will slow down but remain between 1.5% and 2%.

On April 16, a study published in Nature on the 15th revealed that large language models (LLMs) may inadvertently impart certain preferences to other algorithms during the distillation process. This occurs even after original features have been removed from the training data, suggesting that these unwanted features may persist. In one case, a model appeared to convey its preference for owls to other models through implicit signals in the data. The findings indicate that more thorough safety checks are necessary when developing LLMs.

On April 16, CryptoQuant stated that Bitcoin's recent rebound is facing increasing selling pressure, as on-chain data shows a significant rise in funds flowing into exchanges. Bitcoin had previously broken through $76,000 but faced resistance and retreated near the key resistance range of about $76,800. This position corresponds to the 'on-chain realized price' range, which historically tends to become the peak of rebounds, as many investors with positions close to breakeven tend to sell. Data shows that the hourly inflow of Bitcoin into exchanges has risen to about 11,000 BTC, the highest level since the end of 2025, which is typically seen as a potential selling signal. Additionally, the scale of large holders (whales) transferring Bitcoin to exchanges is also increasing. Analysts believe that if this resistance level remains effective, Bitcoin may face short-term correction pressure, with key support around $67,600.
