On May 1, U.S. officials revealed that the true cost of military operations against Iran could approach $50 billion, approximately double the $25 billion previously disclosed by the Pentagon during congressional hearings. It is reported that the Pentagon's earlier estimate of $25 billion did not fully account for costs such as equipment losses and damage to military facilities. Informed officials stated that as the operations continue, ammunition consumption and equipment losses have become the main reasons for rising costs. For instance, 24 MQ-9 Reaper drones have already been destroyed, each valued at around $30 million. (CCTV News)

On May 1, the prediction market platform Polymarket announced a partnership with blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis to monitor trading activities and enforce market rules in response to concerns about insider trading and market integrity. The two parties announced on Thursday that Chainalysis will provide a comprehensive suite of tools, including investigative software and on-chain monitoring systems, to identify suspicious behavior. Their model is designed to detect patterns consistent with "trading based on non-public information." This move comes amid increasing regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets. Critics argue that platforms like Polymarket may be susceptible to influence from insiders, such as political staff or corporate employees, who could place "information advantage bets" before information is made public. While such behavior is illegal and heavily regulated in traditional financial markets, the regulatory framework remains unclear in the crypto prediction market. Polymarket's response is to enhance the transparency advantages of blockchain. Since all transactions are recorded on-chain, trading activities can be tracked and analyzed post-factum. By overlaying Chainalysis's data tools, the company hopes to identify suspicious transactions in real-time and provide relevant evidence to regulators when necessary.

On May 1, according to The Wall Street Journal, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg provided new details about the company's aggressive AI plans during an all-hands meeting on Thursday, responding to the market's negative reaction to its first-quarter performance. Zuckerberg attributed the 8% drop in Meta's stock price to investor concerns over an expected increase in capital expenditures and the company's forecast of slowed growth for the second quarter. He noted that after the U.S. went to war with Iran at the end of February, Meta's advertising business experienced a 'trajectory change.' He stated, 'If oil prices go up, consumers will spend more on oil and gasoline, and spending on discretionary non-essential items will decrease, and advertising typically targets those types of products.' Zuckerberg linked the company's layoff plans for next month to the need to invest more in data centers and other AI infrastructure. He explained, 'The company basically has two cost centers. One is computing and infrastructure, and the other is personnel. If we invest more in one area to serve our community, it means we have less capital to allocate to the other area. So this means we do need to moderately reduce the size of the company.'

On May 1, U.S. President Trump stated at a White House press conference that recent military actions by the U.S. have 'destroyed' Iran's nuclear capabilities and significantly weakened its overall military strength. He claimed that Iran's navy and air force are 'almost non-existent,' approximately 82% of drone factories have been weakened, missile factories are nearly 90% damaged, and most missile systems have been destroyed. Trump noted that the U.S. has completed key strike missions in a short period and emphasized that without action, Iran 'could obtain nuclear weapons,' which is 'absolutely unacceptable.' He mentioned that current negotiations with Iran are stalled, but Iran is 'very eager to reach an agreement.' Trump stated that the details of the negotiations are known only to a select few senior officials in the U.S. He added that under economic sanctions and military pressure, Iran's economy is facing severe difficulties, with a significant drop in oil revenues. He emphasized that the U.S. goal is to compel Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons development while pushing for a resolution through negotiations as soon as possible.

On May 1, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stated in a social media post on the evening of April 30 that the world has witnessed Iran's restraint and conciliatory stance. The actions taken by the U.S. under the guise of a 'maritime blockade' are, in fact, a continuation of military operations against a nation. Such oppressive practices are intolerable.

On April 29, Kalshi's predicted market pricing indicates that the probability of the Federal Reserve implementing a rate cut before 2027 is currently around 50%, a significant decrease from the 80-90% probability earlier this year. As the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) prepares for its meeting, the market is effectively pricing in a 'high interest rate environment for a longer duration,' reflecting a lack of confidence in recent monetary policy easing.
