On April 29, CITIC Securities International released a report indicating that OpenAI, Microsoft, and Amazon are restructuring their cooperation. Microsoft has terminated its exclusive rights to use OpenAI's models and adjusted the partnership to a non-exclusive agreement effective until 2032. The cooperation model has shifted from an indefinite partnership linked to AGI to a fixed-term collaboration. Overall, this adjustment signifies a transition in the AI industry from 'cloud platform lock-in' to a more open multi-cloud model, enhancing competition between cloud providers and large models, while also offering enterprise clients greater flexibility in model and infrastructure combinations. Marginally, the report suggests that this is more beneficial for Amazon and Google’s cloud businesses, allowing them to access OpenAI models while reinforcing their neutral AI infrastructure strategy with multiple models and partners. For Microsoft, the report takes a more neutral and balanced view of the deal. The negative aspect is that losing exclusive cooperation with OpenAI weakens Azure's differentiated advantage in the AI sector, which may somewhat hinder the marginal growth elasticity of its cloud business. Positive factors include better financial terms, ongoing large-scale Azure resource consumption, and continued ownership of approximately 27% of OpenAI's shares, participating in its long-term growth. Additionally, this arrangement opens up more potential financing channels for OpenAI, somewhat safeguarding Microsoft's existing investment value in OpenAI.

On April 29, DeFi researcher Stacy Muur (@stacy_muur) reported that as the stablecoin market surpasses $310 billion and the on-chainization of RWA (real-world assets) accelerates, Pendle is gradually becoming the core infrastructure of the on-chain 'fixed income market.' The article states that a significant amount of RWA yields is currently flowing into Pendle, including traditional financial yield assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds, private credit, corporate bonds, and dividends from NASDAQ-listed companies. Pendle's PT/YT yield split mechanism allows for the conversion of floating yields into fixed-rate products, meeting institutional demand for 'predictable returns.' Several leading TradFi and DeFi projects have already integrated with Pendle: Apollo Global Management's credit fund, with over $840 billion in assets, has connected through the Ember protocol; Strategy's STRC dividend yield has been tokenized by Saturn and Apyx and launched on Pendle; Paxos's U.S. Treasury stablecoin USDG has seen its TVL exceed $120 million within two months of launch; Ethena has previously brought over $4.7 billion in TVL to Pendle, becoming one of its largest yield sources. The article also notes that the U.S. 'GENIUS Act' and 'CLARITY Act' regulatory frameworks may restrict centralized platforms from directly paying interest to stablecoin users, but Pendle, as it operates under an 'on-chain market mechanism' rather than as a yield distributor, may become a primary on-chain venue for U.S. dollar stablecoin yield trading in the future. Data shows that Pendle has settled over $69.8 billion in yields to date.

On April 29, Thomas Hulick, CEO of Strategy Asset Managers, stated that with the market widely expecting Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and the Federal Open Market Committee to keep interest rates unchanged, the current key variable is energy. Futures markets indicate that expectations of oil prices above $85 are continuing to drive up inflation expectations and exacerbate intraday fluctuations in U.S. Treasury yields. As long as the tensions in the Middle East involving Iran and the blockade issues in the Strait of Hormuz remain unresolved, the bond market will continue to be sensitive to inflation risks. 'This is why we are still hearing discussions about a possible rate hike later this year,' he added. To normalize yields, oil prices may need to fall back to the $70 per barrel range. 'Once energy prices stabilize, inflation expectations should decline accordingly, allowing U.S. Treasury yields to return to more fundamental levels.' (Jin Shi)

On April 28, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany confirmed at a press conference that President Trump and his national security team met to discuss a new negotiation proposal put forward by Iran. McEnany stated that it was uncertain whether the meeting had concluded, but the proposal was indeed under discussion. However, she noted that she did not want to preempt the president or his national security team in making statements. According to a report by Axios on April 26, a U.S. official and two informed sources indicated that the U.S. had received a new negotiation proposal from Iran, relayed through Pakistan. The new Iranian proposal primarily focuses on resolving the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. maritime blockade against Iran. As part of the proposal, a ceasefire would be extended for a long duration, or the parties would agree to permanently end hostilities. Nuclear negotiations would only commence after the Strait of Hormuz is reopened and the U.S. lifts its blockade.
