The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lowered its global growth forecast for 2026 to 3.1%, down 0.2 percentage points from its January estimate, citing the ongoing Middle East conflict as a key drag on global momentum.
📉 Key updates from the April outlook:
Global growth (2026): 3.1% (down from prior forecast)
Global inflation (2026): 4.4% (upward revision)
2027 growth forecast: unchanged at 3.7%
If not for the conflict, growth would have been revised up to 3.4%
The IMF emphasized that the downgrade is largely driven by energy disruptions and geopolitical instability, which are weakening global economic activity and increasing inflationary pressure.
🌍 Uneven global impact
The report highlights a clear divergence across economies:
Emerging markets face deeper cuts, with a 0.3 percentage point downgrade in 2026 growth expectations
Advanced economies remain relatively stable
Commodity-importing developing countries are among the most affected due to energy exposure and structural vulnerabilities
⚠️ Downside risk scenarios
The IMF also outlined more severe potential outcomes:
If energy prices rise further and remain elevated:
Global growth could fall to 2.5%
Inflation could rise to 5.4%
In a more extreme disruption scenario involving energy infrastructure damage:
Global growth could drop to around 2%
Inflation could exceed 6% by 2027
🧠 Key takeaway
The IMF stressed that it is using a “reference forecast” rather than a traditional baseline, reflecting heightened uncertainty from geopolitical and energy-related risks.
🔑 Bottom line
Global growth is slowing, inflation risks remain sticky, and geopolitical tensions are increasingly shaping the macroeconomic outlook.

Expert Analyst Delves Deep into Bitcoin: “Both Rises and Falls Aren’t What They Used to Be!”

Although the price of Bitcoin ($BTC) increases numerically in each cycle, its actual upward momentum and potential are decreasing.

Galaxy Digital research head Alex Thorn argues that the current Bitcoin market cycle is dramatically weaker compared to the previous three cycles.

At this point, Thorn compared the price movements since the Bitcoin halving in April 2024 to the 2012, 2016, and 2020 cycles.

The study concluded that volatility has significantly decreased in the current cycle and the upside potential is lower.

Although Bitcoin reached its all-time high of over $125,000 on October 5, 2025, it only managed to surpass 97% of its 2024 halving price of approximately $63,000. According to the analyst, this indicates that the peak of the cycle so far has been significantly calmer compared to other cycles.

This increase is quite small compared to other cycles. According to historical data, in the 2012 halving cycle, the $BTC price increased by approximately 9,294%, rising to $1,163. In 2016, it approached $19,891 with an increase of approximately 2,950%, and finally, in the 2020 cycle, a gain of approximately 761% was observed.

According to the analyst, the decreasing volatility with each new $BTC halving cycle indicates that traditional market dynamics are changing and that the price is becoming more influenced by factors other than the four-year halving cycle theory.

While bull cycles in Bitcoin are becoming less frequent, Fidelity analysts also note that with decreasing volatility, Bitcoin declines are becoming less severe.

At this point, according to Zack Wainwright, research analyst at Fidelity Digital Assets, declines in previous Bitcoin bear markets ranged from 80% to 90%. However, in the latest cycle, Bitcoin’s drop from its all-time high of $125,000 to

By | Chaoyang Capital, Author | Sha Hua

The competition in the AI ​​industry has evolved from a battle over model technology to a full-blown war over computing power, talent, products, and ecosystem.

In this war, any "technological utopia" attempting to remain aloof has entered a siege.

In April 2026, DeepSeek, a rising star in the Chinese AI industry, was reported to have launched its first external financing round, planning to raise at least $300 million at a valuation of no less than $10 billion.

The news sent shockwaves through the market.

DeepSeek, seemingly flush with cash, was asking for money.

This move shattered founder Liang Wenfeng's previous idealistic narrative of "refusing financing and maintaining independence."

However, what's intriguing is that a $10 billion valuation, compared to the hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in market capitalization achieved by companies like Zhipu AI and MiniMax after their Hong Kong IPOs, seems "outrageously cheap."

A $300 million fundraising round, in today's large-scale model market, is less than a fraction of a competitor's first round of financing.

 Moreover, DeepSeek is not short of money; its annual profits from Magic Cube Quantitative Research provide continuous financial support, and Liang Wenfeng has publicly stated that "VC money is a burden." Why then, at this particular moment, with such a large amount and valuation, is it embracing the capital market?

The Dilemma of a Technological Utopia

In the Spring Festival of 2025, DeepSeek, with its R1 model and a training cost of only $5.6 million, shattered the common sense regarding large-scale model development in the Chinese and American AI circles. American venture capitalist Marc Andreessen called it the "Sputnik moment" of AI.

What the market remembers even more than the technological breakthrough is Liang Wenfeng's rejection o
