On April 4, Trump posted on social media stating: The failing New York Times' credibility is in ruins, and they continue to launch false news attacks against your favorite president – me – which has led to a significant drop in their circulation. They even referred to our severely weakened and highly unreliable 'partner' NATO as the 'North American Treaty Organization.' The correct name is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization – what an interesting mistake! The hiring and educational standards at the New York Times have significantly declined. Let's bring back 'all news fit to print' and make America great again!

On April 4, a source informed CNBC that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to consider Kevin Walsh's nomination as Chair of the Federal Reserve. A separate criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve is ongoing, examining whether current Chair Jerome Powell made false statements to Congress regarding the costly renovations of the Fed's office building. Despite this, Walsh's nomination process is still moving forward, which could create a conflict with two parallel processes pushed by the Trump administration. Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has stated he will not vote to confirm Walsh until the investigation concludes, meaning Trump cannot advance both processes simultaneously. However, by continuing to push for the hearing, Trump is clearly attempting to achieve this goal. The Senate Banking Committee has not yet listed the hearing on its public agenda.

On April 4, F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun stated on platform X that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not adopt practices similar to U.S. politicians using 'omnibus bills' to force through 'some necessary but unpopular provisions.' This is a key reason for his opposition to BIP-110 and BIP-54. In response to whether there were issues with any fixes using BIP-54, Wang Chun added that the 'Timewarp' attack issue has been longstanding and does not provide significant advantages to miners, as it is impossible to predict who the next block miner will be. Its only practical use is to disrupt certain altcoins, and since it offers almost no real benefits to Bitcoin miners, there is no urgent need for modifications. Furthermore, block validation efficiency has significantly improved due to libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades, eliminating the need for protocol layer adjustments. The issue of 'forging confirmed transactions' fundamentally relies on breaking the double SHA256 collision, and if successful, it would mean that Bitcoin's core security has been compromised. Wang Chun concluded that the aforementioned issues are insufficient to drive protocol changes, and currently, only the 'duplicate transactions' issue holds some repair value, possibly being one of the few changes worth implementing.

On April 4, in response to Anthropic's ban on OpenClaw, OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger stated that although he joined OpenAI, OpenClaw operates independently. 'We even invited Anthropologie and over ten other companies to join our nonprofit organization. They did not respond, but we have almost successfully attracted all other companies to join.' This morning, AI company Anthropic announced that starting at 3:00 PM Eastern Time on April 4, it will prohibit access to third-party tools, including the open-source project OpenClaw, through its Claude subscription service. The new regulations require that related features can only be accessed through additional packages or on a pay-per-use API basis.

On April 4, an open-source project named Colleague.skill has climbed to the trending list on GitHub, garnering over 6,800 stars in just three days. Concurrently, discussions surrounding it have surged on social media platforms. The logic behind this project is straightforward: as long as you have chat records from a former colleague on Feishu, documents on DingTalk, email screenshots, or even just a few voice messages converted to text from WeChat, along with your subjective descriptions, you can feed this information to the AI, which will generate a 1:1 replica of a 'digital twin.' It not only replicates the colleague's knowledge base but, more importantly, it captures the colleague's 'soul.' It writes code according to their technical standards, answers questions in their tone, and even knows when they would pass the buck. The core concept of AI humanization has resonated widely, leading to a plethora of derivative projects such as Ex.skill, Mentor.skill, Senior.skill, and Boss.skill, creating an ecosystem of 'everything can be a Skill,' reflecting a broad interest in using AI to encapsulate specific individuals' knowledge, style, and relationships.

On April 4, Nick Timiraos, the 'Fed's Echo', pointed out that 178,000 jobs were added in March, reversing a significant decline in February. The unemployment rate also dropped to 4.3%. However, some details are less optimistic, as wage growth for ordinary workers has slowed to the lowest year-on-year growth rate in five years since the pandemic recovery. Averaging these two volatile months reveals a clearer potential trend: an average of only 22,500 new jobs per month. Two years ago, an addition of 22,500 jobs per month would have raised alarms; today, such a level may still be considered acceptable. Federal Reserve officials are still trying to explain this change. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly wrote on Friday, 'It is not easy for the public to understand that an economy with zero job growth is still consistent with full employment.' This situation is particularly fragile in the face of new supply shocks. If the war in Iran continues, high fuel costs or shortages of goods could squeeze businesses and consumers, leaving the labor market without a buffer to absorb the impact. Meanwhile, concerns about inflation may weaken the certainty of interest rate cuts, further limiting the Fed's policy space.

On April 4, despite a cooling of US-Iran tensions over the weekend, the US continued its search for a crew member from an F-15E fighter jet shot down by Iran on Friday. Meanwhile, Tehran has continued to launch attacks against Gulf Arab states and Israel. Reports indicate that a second US military aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf on the same day. This suggests that both sides will maintain a tense standoff next week, and various parties involved seem to fully anticipate that US ground troops will enter Iran. Aside from the Iran conflict, the most significant macro event next week will be the release of the Fed meeting minutes, which analysts suggest may confirm the hawkish shift indicated in the dot plot. The specific timeline of events is as follows: Monday 22:00 - US March ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI; Tuesday 15:50-16:30 - Final March Services PMI for France, Germany, Eurozone, and the UK; Tuesday 23:00 - US March New York Fed 1-Year Inflation Expectations; Wednesday 00:35 - Speech on monetary policy by 2027 FOMC voter and Chicago Fed President Goolsbee; Wednesday 17:00 - Eurozone February PPI MoM and Eurozone February Retail Sales MoM; Thursday 02:00 - Fed releases monetary policy meeting minutes; Thursday 20:30 - US Initial Jobless Claims, US February Core PCE Price Index YoY, US February Personal Spending MoM, US Q4 Real GDP Annualized QoQ Final, US Q4 Real Personal Consumption Expenditures QoQ Final, US Q4 Core PCE Price Index Annualized QoQ Final, US February Core PCE Price Index MoM; Friday 20:30 - US March Unadjusted CPI YoY/Core CPI YoY, US March Adjusted CPI MoM/Core CPI MoM; Friday 22:00 - US April 1-Year Inflation Expectations Preliminary, US April University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index Preliminary, US February Factory Orders MoM. The CPI data for March, released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday, will be the first inflation data reflecting the impact of the war. According to consensus expectations from FactSet, the overall CPI year-on-year increase is expected to jump from 2.4% to 3.1%.
