On April 16, Federal Reserve's Williams stated that the Fed's policy is currently moderately tight. Inflation is expected to be 'well above' 3% in the coming months. The uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook limits what Fed officials can say about the future of interest rate policy. Williams remarked, 'Given the current economic situation's many uncertainties and the impact of the war in the Middle East, now is not the time to provide clear guidance. If inflation falls back to 2%, I believe lowering interest rates would be an appropriate move, but we are not at that stage yet.'

On April 16, the Financial Times reported that an analysis of campaign finance records revealed that the cryptocurrency and AI industries raised approximately $250 million over the past year to support congressional candidates in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections this November. A16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz donated a total of $25 million in February to the Super PAC 'Leading The Future,' which supports AI-friendly candidates. This organization has raised about $75 million from billionaires, including the two founders and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman; when including 'dark money' non-profits that do not disclose their donors, the total rises to $140 million. The largest Super PAC in the crypto industry, Fairshake, has raised over $134 million on its own. In January, Cantor Fitzgerald, a Wall Street firm previously led by current U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and now managed by her son Brandon, which has a partnership with Tether, donated $10 million to the pro-crypto Super PAC Fellowship; the parent company of major crypto platform Anchor Labs also contributed an additional $1 million to Fellowship PAC. Elon Musk donated $1.6 million to his America PAC in March, significantly reducing his involvement compared to 2024, when he invested over $250 million across various PACs. Anthropic pledged $20 million to the non-profit Public First Action, which has redirected some of its funds to the Super PAC to influence the 2026 elections. The company holds a unique position in the industry, explicitly calling for the establishment of strict federal AI safety regulations, which contrasts with the majority of participants in the AI sector.
