On May 5, Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, stated, "After a slight decline in March, U.S. business activity has resumed growth, but it is clear that growth momentum has significantly slowed since the beginning of the year. Survey data indicates that the annualized GDP growth rate is around a modest 1%. Growth may weaken further as the service sector reports a decrease in new business inflows for the first time in two years, reflecting the intensifying impact of the Middle East war on demand. The direct effects of the war are most evident in the service sector, where high prices have led to a decline in discretionary spending (such as vacations and entertainment), while high fuel costs and travel disruptions have also suppressed transportation activities. Additionally, the decline in demand for financial services, which is partly related to rising uncertainty in market outlook, reflects expectations of higher inflation and interest rates impacting real estate and credit activities. Input cost inflation has further increased, with rising fuel prices and generally higher prices for goods and services, along with increasing wages. These factors will transmit to consumer inflation in the coming months." (Jinshi)

On May 5, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that under U.S. military escort, two American merchant ships have safely traversed the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that the shipping lanes are currently "open." This operation is part of the U.S. "Freedom Plan," aimed at protecting commercial shipping from Iranian interference. Austin emphasized that this action is defensive in nature, and U.S. forces do not need to enter Iranian territorial waters or airspace, operating independently from previous offensive actions against Iran. He also noted that the U.S. does not seek to escalate conflicts in the region but will continue to maintain a comprehensive blockade against Iran. Regarding the situation's developments, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated that the current Iranian-related attacks have not reached the threshold for resuming large-scale military operations. Austin also warned that if Iran continues to attack commercial shipping, it will face "overwhelming firepower," and called on the international community to intervene promptly and share the responsibility for the safety of the shipping lanes.

On May 5, DeFi yield infrastructure platform Yield.xyz and Privy, a crypto wallet infrastructure company under Stripe, announced the launch of an AI yield agent infrastructure that supports the automatic execution of strategies across over 80 blockchains and 2900+ DeFi yield opportunities, introducing a 'controlled execution' mechanism to enhance security. The solution offers two layers of control: first, constraints on each transaction based on user-defined strategies (including limits, chains, contract whitelists, etc.); second, an optional manual approval mechanism for each transaction to ensure critical operations are confirmed by humans. The system supports two modes: fully automated mode, where AI autonomously executes yield operations within predefined strategy limits; and semi-automated mode, where all transactions require manual approval before execution. Technically, Yield.xyz provides yield discovery and trade construction capabilities, while Privy is responsible for wallet creation, key management, and signature execution, ensuring that strategies cannot be bypassed through a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This integration marks a transition of AI agents with security constraints and compliance controls from the experimental phase to actual production environments.

On May 5, Bitcoin rose approximately 3.5% this week, reaching a high of $81,325, marking the highest point since January of this year. There is a clear divide in the market regarding the nature of the current trend: some analysts believe we have entered a 'super cycle,' while others argue it is merely a bear market rally. Several analysts have pointed out that, with institutions continuing to accumulate, Bitcoin could potentially reach between $180,000 and $200,000 within the next year, and even aim for the $250,000 range in the long term. However, this is contingent on the price maintaining a mid-term support level around $60,000; otherwise, the super cycle narrative could be undermined. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin is currently testing the key resistance zone between $80,000 and $82,000, which coincides with the 200-day moving average and the upper boundary of a descending channel, historically serving as strong resistance. If it fails to break through effectively, a short-term pullback to the $70,000 to $72,000 range may occur, and in extreme cases, it could even dip to $50,000. Analysts also note that the current market structure indicates institutional demand is absorbing new supply, resulting in a milder pullback compared to previous bear markets; however, the outcome of breaking through the key resistance level will still determine the direction of future trends.

On May 5, as the market awaits clarity on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, crude oil futures prices continue to show volatility. Analyst Nikos Chabralas stated in a report that recent hostilities may disrupt the ceasefire agreement, thereby maintaining the risk premium. He added that as the conflict persists, crude oil prices are still expected to reach new highs, but the long-term energy shocks have intensified the risk of demand destruction, which "could ultimately undermine the support for rising oil prices."
