On April 30, according to foreign media reports, traders' confidence in the European Central Bank (ECB) raising interest rates as early as June has slightly decreased. This comes as policymakers weigh the impact of rising energy prices on inflation and economic growth. The ECB stated that the war in Iran has disrupted global energy flows, exacerbating the risks of rising inflation and slowing economic growth. Following this announcement, yields on Eurozone bonds and the euro both fell, leading traders to slightly lower their expectations for a rate hike in June. The money market is currently pricing in a rate hike of 22 basis points for June, down from about 26 basis points earlier on Thursday; the cumulative rate hike expected by the end of the year is approximately 72 basis points, down from the previously anticipated 76 basis points.

A recent report by blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs reveals that in the first four months of 2026, approximately 76% of global cryptocurrency hacking losses were associated with North Korean organizations, totaling around $577 million stolen. North Korea's share of global crypto theft has been steadily increasing: 22% in 2022, 37% in 2023, 39% in 2024, 64% in 2025, and further rising to 76% in 2026. Since 2017, the total illegal profits have exceeded $6 billion. The report highlights that these losses primarily stem from two significant incidents in April: a $292 million attack on KelpDAO and a $285 million theft from Drift Protocol, which together accounted for about 3% of all hacking events during that period.

On April 30, Berenberg's Chief Economist Felix Schmidt stated that, as expected, the European Central Bank (ECB) did not raise interest rates. The bank's statement was very brief and contained little surprise. The economic data released today is not sufficient to support a rate hike. Economic growth is weaker than expected, and although inflation is rising, it has lost some momentum. So far, inflation has been entirely driven by the direct impact of energy prices. The ECB will observe the significant extent of indirect effects in the coming months. AFS Group's Research Director Arne Petimezas noted that there was nothing new in the ECB Governing Council's statement, other than stating an obvious fact: the shocks are more severe than expected in the March baseline scenario, and we are likely in an adverse scenario.
