On April 2, the Trump administration announced it would appeal a federal judge's decision that blocked its ban on government use of Anthropic technology. The U.S. Department of Justice submitted a notice to the court on Thursday, indicating it would appeal the ruling made last month by Judge Rita F. Lin of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco. The judge had previously suspended the government's plan to sever ties with Anthropic to maintain the status quo while legal disputes continue, but she postponed the ruling for a week to allow the government to file an appeal. Anthropic filed a lawsuit challenging the Department of Defense's claim that its technology posed a threat to the U.S. supply chain. In her ruling on March 26, the judge agreed with Anthropic's argument, stating that the government's rationale for implementing the ban on national security grounds was questionable. The judge viewed the action as more of a 'punishment' for Anthropic, as the company sought assurances that its technology would not be used for surveillance of Americans or for the deployment of autonomous weapons.

On April 2, the International Monetary Fund stated that although U.S. inflation is expected to fall to the Federal Reserve's 2% target in the first half of next year, policymakers have little room for rate cuts this year. According to the IMF's annual assessment of the U.S. economy, staff anticipate that there may be only one opportunity for a rate cut by the end of 2026. 'Overall, staff believe that there is limited room for policy rate reductions in the coming year. More significant monetary easing would need to be predicated on a substantial deterioration in the labor market outlook and no increase in inflationary pressures, as recent rises in oil and commodity prices have led to upward revisions in inflation expectations.' An IMF executive director noted in a separate statement that given the Federal Reserve's current policy is close to neutral, 'the space for rate cuts in 2026 is limited, especially considering the rise in energy prices, the transmission effects of core inflation, and the upward risks in global commodity prices, which may further delay the achievement of the inflation target.'

On April 2, crude oil futures prices soared after Trump spoke about the war in Iran, undermining traders' expectations for a swift resolution to the Middle East conflict. TP ICAP analyst Scott Shelton stated in a report: "For most of this week, oil prices were under pressure, but Trump's speech caused prices to spike overnight, with remarks leaning more towards escalation and mission completion, and hardly touching on peace negotiations." He noted that while this move may be aimed at forcing Iran back to the negotiating table, the risk premium has sharply increased.
