On March 30, the U.S. market will encounter some quite interesting events this week. As we transition from March to April, labor market data will return to the spotlight. However, first, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will make an appearance later today at 22:30. Besides closely monitoring the risks related to U.S.-Iran headlines, this will be the most noteworthy item on the agenda. Powell is set to participate in a moderated discussion for an introductory economics course at Harvard University. Although there is no specific theme, Powell is expected to cover a wide range of topics from the economy to inflation and monetary policy. Analysts anticipate he will avoid any discussions related to the politicization of the Federal Reserve. Nevertheless, it is reasonable to expect that Trump will once again lash out at Powell after this event, especially if we hear comments about the Fed wanting to pause interest rate adjustments and maintain flexibility amid the situation in the Middle East. Ironically, the circumstances leading to this situation are a result of Trump's own actions. However, you can be sure he will still blame Powell for not lowering interest rates.

On March 30, according to a report by the New York Times on March 29, two U.S. military officials revealed that hundreds of U.S. special operations personnel have arrived in the Middle East, including Army Rangers and Navy SEALs, to provide 'more options' for U.S. military actions against Iran. The report states that these special operations forces have not yet been assigned specific tasks, but as professional ground combat units, they may be involved in operations related to the Strait of Hormuz, Hark Island, or Iran's nuclear facilities.

On March 30, the Israeli parliament approved the national budget for 2026, which includes a substantial supplemental defense budget to cover expenses related to the war with Iran. The funding will be raised through additional borrowing and cuts to social spending. This expenditure plan was passed early Monday morning by a vote of 62 in favor and 55 against, totaling 699 billion shekels (approximately $222 billion), with a deficit target set at 4.9% of GDP. Defense spending is the largest item, amounting to 143 billion shekels—about 120% higher than before the outbreak of the Gaza war in 2023. Additionally, 6 billion shekels have been allocated to a contingency fund for expenses related to the war with Iran or other military needs, bringing the supplemental defense budget to at least 38 billion shekels, roughly 2% of GDP. This extra funding is primarily intended to replenish Israel's military stockpiles and pay reservists' salaries.

According to monitoring by 1M AI News, a deep investigation by the WSJ reveals the behind-the-scenes details of OpenAI's shutdown of Sora. Sources indicate that Sora was losing approximately $1 million per day. After launching in September last year, the global user peak reached about 1 million, but has since declined to less than 500,000 (according to Similarweb data). The video model requires an understanding of the complete motion world, and the training costs are significantly higher than those of language models. OpenAI's internal researchers discovered through a resource allocation dashboard that the Sora team received an unexpectedly low amount of chip resources, and the product was neither profitable nor capable of enhancing language model capabilities. The decision to shut down was extremely rushed. Many Disney executives learned of the announcement less than an hour before it was made, while pilot programs for the enterprise version of Sora were already underway, with Disney originally planning to officially launch it as early as this spring. In an internal letter, Altman expressed encouragement regarding employees' willingness to make 'difficult trade-offs.' Disney's new CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is currently in discussions with over a dozen partners for alternative solutions. Last spring, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally reached out to Sora's lead researcher, Bill Peebles, in an attempt to poach him, prompting OpenAI to offer a raise to retain him and subsequently expand his responsibilities within Sora. In early 2025, Altman also invited former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal to serve as an informal advisor for an internal social media project similar to X. From daily losses of $1 million to a hasty shutdown, Sora has become OpenAI's most expensive strategic misstep in its attempt to reshape popular culture with AI.

On March 30, a recent report from CryptoQuant indicated that Strategy is currently the sole major buyer of BTC reserves, having accumulated approximately 45,000 BTC over the past 30 days, marking the fastest growth rate in nearly a year. Its holdings account for about 76% of all reserve companies. Meanwhile, purchases by non-Strategy entities have dropped to around 1,000 BTC, a decline of about 99% from peak levels, representing only 2% of the market. New demand is nearly exiting, with the number of purchases by related companies falling to 13 times (down from a peak of 54), indicating a significant reduction in both capital investment and participation, resulting in a highly concentrated overall market demand structure focused on Strategy.

On March 30, Clyde Russell, a columnist for Reuters on commodities and energy, stated that after a month of US and Israeli strikes against Iran, the global supply markets for crude oil, refined products, and liquefied natural gas are in a 'second worst scenario.' The article predicts the worst-case scenario of the current conflict: a dramatic escalation where Iran uses missiles and drones to inflict widespread damage on the Gulf region's energy infrastructure, including pipelines, refineries, processing facilities, and export terminals. The most likely trigger for such actions would be US ground forces attempting to seize and control territory held by Iran, such as the Khark Island oil terminal and several small islands in the Strait of Hormuz. Deploying ground troops is reportedly an option being considered by President Trump, and US military forces are continuously gathering in the region. However, even if a military invasion is tactically successful, it would become meaningless if it leads to large-scale destruction of energy infrastructure, as this would push an already severe market crisis into an unprecedented global energy disaster. Looking at Brent crude futures, the market is still largely betting that the situation will cool down and that normal transportation through the Strait of Hormuz will eventually resume. On Monday morning in Asia, Brent futures rose by 2.7%, trading at about $115.55 per barrel, up from $112.57 at the close on March 27. Since closing at $72.48 per barrel on February 27, the day before the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran, Brent prices have increased by 59%.

According to Cointelegraph, Voyager Digital has preferred not sue its top executives for incompetence, in spite of their role in approving a huge loan to Three Arrows Capital (3AC) without adequate due diligence. That loan was a key element leading to Voyager Digital’s bankruptcy. Court papers filed Oct. 17 show that a Voyager Digital internal special committee has proposed that CEO Stephen Ehrlich and chief commercial officer (formerly chief financial officer) Evan Psaropolous keep their jobs and not be sued. The committee did not find any evidence of fraud in the executives’ actions. According to the court filing, Ehrlich and Psaropolous are “making additional contributions to the [Reorganization] Plan pursuant to the settlements reached with the Special Committee.” Ehrlich will pay the company $1.125 million in cash under the committee’s proposal, which is subject to approval by the bankruptcy judge. The company has $20 million in directors and officers liability insurance to make claims against as well.
