On April 14, BlackRock stated that the impact of the Iran war on the markets is manageable, and coupled with strong corporate profit prospects, it has upgraded its rating on US stocks from 'Neutral' to 'Overweight'. BlackRock noted that it had previously reduced investment exposure due to geopolitical risks, but has now observed two key signals prompting a reassessment of risk: the expected recovery of shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and the macroeconomic impacts remaining within manageable limits. These factors have alleviated concerns about the long-term impact of the war on global economic growth. Strategists indicated that, in the context of strong corporate profits and limited damage to the global economy, they have increased allocations to the US and emerging markets, while continuing to monitor profit margins in first-quarter earnings reports; they also maintain a preference for investment opportunities with structural growth themes, such as those related to the defense industry.

On April 14, Heraeus precious metals analysts released a report indicating that both gold and silver formed bearish engulfing patterns on the March monthly candlestick charts—opening higher than the previous month but closing lower. This signal aligns closely with the stagnation of the bull market at the end of January and the timing of military actions by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. Analysts warn that the precious metals market may need to undergo several months of consolidation and sideways movement before the bull market can resume. For gold, the last occurrence of a similar bearish engulfing pattern was in April 2022, after which gold prices fell from $2,000 per ounce to $1,600, marking six consecutive months of decline. Heraeus noted that if the recent upward trend reverses, the next key support level is near the March low, around $4,100 per ounce. However, analysts also pointed out that rising inflation and declining real interest rates will support gold demand, and the current adjustment is likely to be absorbed by the ongoing bull market. Regarding central bank gold purchases, central banks worldwide continue to maintain a net buying trend, with a net purchase of 27 tons in February, up from 5 tons in January. The Polish central bank increased its holdings by 20.2 tons in February, marking the largest single-month increase in nearly a year; Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan also increased their holdings, while Turkey and Russia were the main sellers. In terms of silver, sales of silver bars and coins from the Perth Mint fell to 976,000 ounces in March, a significant drop from nearly 2 million ounces in February, which was a two-year high; sales of American Eagle silver coins also slightly decreased from 1.7 million ounces to 1.6 million ounces, but total sales for the first quarter exceeded 8.1 million ounces, a significant increase from 5.3 million ounces year-on-year.

On April 14, Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Milan stated that the energy shocks triggered by the Iran conflict have not affected long-term inflation expectations. He anticipates that price pressures will subside to the central bank's target level within a year. Milan spoke at an event in Washington on Tuesday, saying, 'So far, there is no evidence that inflation expectations have risen. The labor market is gradually cooling, a trend that has persisted for about three years, so the likelihood of a wage-price spiral is extremely low. In my view, the traditional approach of the central bank not reacting to such temporary shocks seems reasonable at this time.'

On April 14, Yili Hua, founder of Liquid Capital, stated, "With Iran willing to abandon uranium enrichment as a compromise to end the war, the conflict is progressing towards a complete resolution, and I hope that world peace is not just an empty slogan. At the same time, the structural bill will eventually pass, and I remain optimistic about this rebound, unless the guns start firing again. Recently, I've seen many people facing liquidation in altcoin contracts; altcoins themselves are high-risk, and adding contracts makes it a guaranteed losing game, especially when your opponent controls the chips, capital, and technology. Warren Buffett is right; slowly getting rich is the best approach. Even if you win five times in a row, losing the sixth time means you lose everything, which is not a normal business model."

On April 14, the WSJ reported that Arab officials revealed Saudi Arabia is pressuring the U.S. to abandon the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and return to the negotiating table. Saudi Arabia's core concern is that Iran may retaliate by blocking the Mandeb Strait through the Houthi forces, which is crucial for Saudi oil exports after the blockade of Hormuz. Previously, Saudi Arabia had shifted most of its crude oil exports from the Ras Tanura facility in the Persian Gulf to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea, with current daily exports around 7 million barrels, essentially restoring pre-war levels. However, if the Mandeb Strait is also blocked, these supplies will face a direct threat. Iran's Supreme Leader's foreign policy advisor, Velayati, publicly stated on April 5 that Iran views the Mandeb Strait "just like the Strait of Hormuz," warning that global energy and trade flows "can be cut off with a single signal." Iran's semi-official media, Tasnim News Agency, also indicated that a U.S. blockade could lead Iran to close the Red Sea passage. Meanwhile, the Houthi forces, which control large stretches of coastline near the Mandeb Strait, are a ready tool for Iran to implement this threat. Barron, a Yemen expert at the Washington think tank New America, stated: "If Iran really wants to block the Mandeb Strait, the Houthis are clearly partners, and they already have the capability to prove it." Arab officials warned that if Iran escalates pressure, the Houthis may become more aggressively involved in the conflict, even starting to charge fees for passing vessels. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, prior to the Gaza war, 9.3 million barrels of crude oil passed through the Mandeb Strait daily, but this number has been halved since the Houthis' involvement.

On April 14, ANZ Bank strategists Daniel Hynes and Sonali Kumari stated in a report that high oil prices will persist. They estimate that approximately 10 million barrels of oil are disappearing from the market daily due to the Iran conflict, which differs from their benchmark data in January. The recovery of supply is expected to be slow, incomplete, and uneven until mid-2026. They added that a severe shock to global demand or a rapid, coordinated response on the supply side is needed to alleviate this tension. Currently, the tight market supply alone is sufficient to keep crude oil prices at historically high levels, even without the worst-case scenario of conflict escalation. As the conflict continues, high oil prices will become more entrenched. ANZ has raised its crude oil forecast, expecting Brent crude prices to remain above $90 per barrel for the remainder of the year. (Jinshi Data APP)

According to monitoring by 1M AI News, OpenAI's Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser sent an internal memo to all employees on Sunday, positioning the partnership with Amazon as a key driver for business growth, while unusually criticizing the long-term collaboration with Microsoft. Dresser, who previously served as CEO of the enterprise collaboration tool Slack and held executive roles at Salesforce, joined OpenAI in December last year. In the memo, Dresser wrote: 'Our partnership with Microsoft is the cornerstone of our success, but it also limits our ability to reach customers where they are, which for many enterprises is Bedrock.' Bedrock is Amazon Web Services' (AWS) AI model hosting platform. At the end of February, Amazon announced an investment of up to $50 billion in OpenAI and a strategic partnership, with Dresser stating that the influx of customer demand since then has been 'frankly shocking.' The memo also targeted Anthropic. Dresser claimed that Anthropic's reported annual revenue of $30 billion was inflated by about $8 billion: 'The accounting practices they adopted make their revenue appear larger than it actually is, including full recognition of revenue from partnerships with Amazon and Google (gross up). We recognize our revenue from Microsoft on a net basis, which aligns more closely with the standards public companies are required to follow.' Anthropic, however, stated that it is the seller in these transactions, with Amazon and Google merely acting as distribution channels, and that full recognition complies with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Dresser also claimed that Anthropic made a 'strategic error' in its computing resource reserves, asserting that OpenAI's expansion in computing power is 'substantially ahead and widening the gap.' She summarized Anthropic's strategy as 'built on fear, restrictions, and the idea that a few elites should control AI,' asserting that OpenAI's 'positive messaging' will ultimately prevail. This memo marks the second internal attack on Anthropic by OpenAI within a week. Last Thursday, OpenAI stated in another memo to shareholders that Anthropic 'operates on a clearly smaller curve.' Both companies are preparing for an IPO as early as this year, with competition for market share in the enterprise sector being a core battleground. Earlier this month, Dresser revealed that OpenAI's enterprise business accounts for 40% of total revenue, with expectations to match consumer business by the end of the year.

According to 1M AI News, the San Francisco District Attorney announced on Monday that Daniel Moreno-Gama, a 20-year-old man from Texas, has been charged with attempted murder and attempted arson for throwing a homemade Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's residence last Friday. The U.S. Department of Justice has also filed federal charges, including attempting to destroy property with explosives and illegal possession of an unregistered firearm. Craig Missakian, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California, stated that if evidence shows that Moreno-Gama's actions were intended to change public policy or coerce government officials, he will be prosecuted for domestic terrorism. A federal indictment released on Monday revealed that Moreno-Gama was carrying a document detailing his intentions at the time of his arrest. The first part of the document is titled 'Your Last Warning,' claiming that he 'killed/attempted to kill' Altman and listing the names and addresses of several AI industry executives, board members, and investors. The second part elaborates on the existential threat AI poses to humanity, concluding with a direct message to Altman: 'If you miraculously survive, I will take it as a divine signal for your self-redemption.' FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Matt Cobo stated at a press conference, 'This was not an impulsive act; it was premeditated, targeted, and extremely serious.' FBI Director Kash Patel mentioned that a search operation related to this case was conducted in Texas on the same day. Incident details: Moreno-Gama threw a lit Molotov cocktail at Altman's front door at 3:37 AM last Friday, causing a small fire with no injuries. About an hour and a half later, he appeared at the OpenAI headquarters, smashing a glass door with a chair and threatening to 'burn down the building and kill everyone inside' before being arrested by the police. On Sunday, Altman's residence was shot at again, and two more individuals were arrested; it is currently unclear if the two incidents are connected. Altman posted on his personal blog on Friday, sharing a family photo and stating that he 'underestimated the power of words and narratives,' urging the AI industry to reduce 'confrontational rhetoric and tactics.'
