On April 1, OpenAI completed a $122 billion financing round, bringing the company's valuation to $852 billion. This marks the largest financing round for the company to date, supporting its expensive investments in chips, data centers, and talent. Most of the funds in this months-long preparation came from three major tech companies. Amazon agreed to invest $50 billion in this round, while NVIDIA and SoftBank Group each invested $30 billion. A significant portion of Amazon's investment ($35 billion) is contingent on OpenAI's ability to go public or achieve a technological milestone in general artificial intelligence. OpenAI also raised over $3 billion from individual investors through bank channels for the first time. The company reported that it currently generates $2 billion in revenue per month, with enterprise sales accounting for 40% of its revenue, expected to rise to 50% by the end of the year.

On April 1, the White House stated on Tuesday that the U.S. military is prepared to thwart any attacks from Iran. This response comes after threats from the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against American businesses in the Middle East. "The U.S. military has always been ready to deter any attacks from Iran, and the 90% decrease in the regime's ballistic missile and drone attacks is clear evidence of that," a White House official stated. Reports indicate that the IRGC announced earlier on Tuesday that it would take action against U.S.-owned businesses in the region starting April 1, as retaliation for attacks against Iran.

On April 1, local time March 31, Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian stated that the current situation is "not negotiations," but rather an exchange of information through direct channels or "regional friends." Iran continues to receive messages from U.S. representative Witkoff, but this does not mean that negotiations have commenced; the exchanges are primarily for "warnings or exchanging views." He pointed out that Iran is not currently negotiating with any specific party, and the information exchange is coordinated by the Foreign Ministry under the supervision of security agencies, strictly advancing within an official framework under the oversight of the government and the Supreme National Security Council. Amir-Abdollahian emphasized that Iran has not responded to the 15 proposals put forth by the U.S. and has not made any proposals or conditions. Iran has yet to make a final decision on the principles of negotiation, but the conditions for ending the war are "very clear": Iran "will not agree to a ceasefire," but demands a "complete end to the war in the entire region."

On April 1, Federal Reserve's Schmied warned on Tuesday that rising energy prices should not be seen as having only a temporary impact on inflation. He noted that even before the Iran war caused oil prices to surge, the inflation rate was already close to 3%, and the Fed's progress towards its 2% inflation target had stalled. Schmied stated, "I believe we cannot afford to underestimate the risks to inflation expectations." He also pointed out that while most measures of medium- to long-term inflation expectations have remained stable, this does not provide him with much comfort. "Our task now is to take appropriate policy actions to validate these expectations." Schmied did not specify the exact policy measures he was referring to, but he had previously opposed the Fed's decision to lower interest rates twice last year. Last week, financial markets reflected that investors increasingly believed rising oil prices might force the Fed to raise rates later this year to prevent inflation. However, this week, market sentiment has shifted to the view that the Fed will keep rates unchanged.
