On April 17, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson urged the U.S. government to develop contingency plans to prevent a potential collapse in demand for U.S. Treasury bonds. He warned that such a situation would have 'extremely severe' consequences. Paulson stated, 'We need an emergency response plan that is targeted and short-term, and it should be prepared in advance to be activated once a critical point is reached.' He noted that if the $31 trillion U.S. debt market were to fail, the nature of the crisis would differ from the financial crisis he faced two decades ago. 'At that time, the situation was already bad, but the government still had fiscal space to respond to the credit crisis. However, if a U.S. public debt crisis occurs and we reach a critical point where the only buyer of Treasury bonds is the Federal Reserve, leading to falling bond prices and rising interest rates, it would be a very dangerous situation.' For years, U.S. budget experts have warned of a potential 'doom loop': as government debt continues to grow, investors demand higher yields, which increases government interest expenses and further widens the fiscal deficit. In extreme cases, if the Treasury cannot raise enough funds to pay interest or principal, the market widely believes that the Federal Reserve will have to step in as an emergency buyer. Paulson emphasized, 'Once it happens, the impact will be very severe, so we must be prepared for this possibility.'

On April 17, Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Taylor stated on Thursday local time that investors' expectations regarding changes in the Bank of England's policy have become more aligned with the possible interest rate path. The Bank of England kept the key interest rate unchanged last month, stating it is prepared to raise borrowing costs to curb the inflation rebound driven by soaring energy costs due to the Middle East conflict. Investors reacted by adjusting their expectations for future interest rate movements, anticipating up to four rate hikes this year. Bank of England Governor Bailey later remarked that the market had been 'somewhat hasty.' Recently, investors have readjusted their expectations, now anticipating one to two rate hikes. 'The market may have been somewhat hasty, and perhaps things are calming down,' Taylor stated. European Central Bank Chief Economist Lane also commented that the timing of potential rate actions is 'a matter of detail,' and noted that in the context of a highly uncertain economic outlook, decision-makers must be prepared to make mistakes. He said, 'If you are formulating monetary policy in uncertain circumstances, you must be open to revising your interest rate decisions. A rate hike could prove to be a mistake. Staying put could also prove to be a mistake. We can always update and revise every six weeks.'

On April 17, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on April 16, local time, to narrowly defeat a measure initiated by the Democrats, with 214 votes in favor and 213 against. The measure called for President Trump to end military actions against Iran and required congressional authorization before any further military actions could be taken against Iran. The Senate had previously rejected the measure a day earlier. Democrats stated they would continue to propose similar measures until military actions against Iran are concluded or Congress authorizes continued military engagement. According to the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to declare war. A law passed by Congress in 1973 stipulates that the President can only take limited military action without congressional authorization in response to an attack on the U.S. or an imminent threat.

On April 16, The Block reported that Mizuho Bank research analysts released a report on Thursday stating that the financial feature X Money launched by Musk's X platform has the potential to disrupt the U.S. payment industry, although its cryptocurrency integration plans may face regulatory hurdles. Mizuho analysts Dan Dolev and Andrew Jenkins wrote in a client report that X Money is positioned as the financial infrastructure layer of the X platform, aiming to integrate instant messaging, bank deposits, and commercial transaction functions, similar to the 'super app' model of WeChat Pay or Alipay. With 500 to 600 million monthly active users on the X platform and Musk's background as a co-founder of PayPal, 'X Money has the potential to disrupt the U.S. payment industry.' On the regulatory front, analysts pointed out two major potential obstacles: First, New York State's recent proposed 'CRYPTO Act' (Cryptocurrency Regulation, Protection, Trust, and Supervision Act) aims to criminalize unlicensed virtual currency operations in the state, which would raise compliance barriers for X's future cryptocurrency integration plans; second, the 'Clarity Act' may restrict non-bank financial platforms from offering returns to users, potentially hindering X Money's plan to provide users with a 6% annualized return on cash balances, with analysts noting that the timing of this yield product's launch is 'particularly sensitive.' Mizuho also downgraded PayPal (PYPL) stock to 'neutral,' indicating that PayPal and its Venmo app 'face the most direct substitution risk, as X is targeting the same peer-to-peer transfer and digital wallet entry points.' This week, the X platform also launched a new feature called 'Cashtags,' allowing users to view financial data for stocks and cryptocurrencies directly within their timeline.
