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.

According to CoinDesk, the U.K.’s Law Commission is looking at how Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) should be treated under the legal system, the latest in a series of forays into digital technologies by the influential body.

“DAOs are said to offer multiple benefits to market participants… yet their legal and regulatory status is unclear,” said Law Commissioner Sarah Green in a statement. “Our work will aim to build consensus on the best ways of describing the constituent elements of DAOs and to highlight ways in which the law of England and Wales might foster their development.”
