On April 15, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that the tariff levels imposed by Trump may be restored to their pre-Supreme Court ruling levels before early July. After the Supreme Court ruled that Trump's use of emergency powers to impose early tariffs was unconstitutional, Bessent is seeking to rebuild his 'tariff wall' using different authorizations, such as Section 301 investigations. Bessent mentioned that while it is difficult to predict when the consequences of the Iraq War will 'spill over' into the U.S. economy, the current economic conditions remain strong. He believes that the U.S. growth rate this year could easily exceed 3% or even 3.5%. He also added that the continuous decline in core inflation, excluding volatile energy and food prices, is a positive sign. Bessent stated, 'I believe the Federal Reserve has consistently misjudged the inflation issue; core inflation is declining. If they want to wait for clearer data before taking action, I understand, but that would mean interest rates should be lowered more.' (Jin Shi)

On April 15, Israel and Lebanon held their first high-level talks in over 30 years, with Israel's ambassador to the U.S. calling it a 'rational victory', although officials generally downplayed expectations of ending the war with Hezbollah. U.S. State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott stated in a release on Tuesday that the ambassadors of Israel and Lebanon met in Washington under U.S. mediation and had 'productive discussions on steps to initiate direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon.' The date and time for the next round of talks have yet to be determined. The U.S. welcomed the first face-to-face meeting between the two governments since 1993. However, any hopes that Israel would ease its military actions against Lebanon are minimal, as Hezbollah—a party that is also one of the world's most powerful armed groups—did not participate in the talks. Lebanese Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad stated in a release that the discussions were constructive. She called for a ceasefire, the return of displaced civilians to their homes, and concrete measures to address the country's humanitarian crisis. The ongoing conflict in Lebanon could jeopardize U.S. President Trump's efforts to quell another conflict with Iran (Hezbollah's main supporter). However, since the U.S. and Iran agreed to a ceasefire two weeks ago on April 7, Israel has intensified its military actions against Lebanon. Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter told reporters in Washington, 'This is a victory for rationality, responsibility, and peace, as Hezbollah leaders warned the Lebanese government yesterday not to participate in these talks. This marks the beginning of a very strong, solid, and sustained fight against Hezbollah.'

On April 15, two U.S. officials stated that vessels related to Iran, which were seized during the blockade of Iranian ports, will be transferred to a temporary holding area in the Arabian Sea or Indian Ocean until a 'permanent placement location' is determined. The officials indicated that the U.S. military may use drones to target fast boats belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, but currently, there are no plans to strike tankers departing from Iranian ports. One official mentioned that the U.S. is assessing more vessels that could potentially be seized. As the blockade operation unfolds, several tankers have already changed course as they approached the Strait of Hormuz.

On April 15, Russian media reported on the 14th, citing information from the Russian Security Council, that in light of the Pentagon's continued troop buildup in the Middle East, the United States and Israel may use peace negotiations to prepare for ground military actions against Iran. The Russian news agency and TASS reported that the Russian Security Council stated that if US-Iran negotiations do not achieve the expected goals, higher intensity hostilities may break out within two weeks. Additionally, Iran 'still has a large amount of weapons.' The report noted that the Iranian government currently maintains control over the domestic situation, and there has been no 'chaos and internal turmoil' as hoped by Washington and Tel Aviv. Various socio-political groups in Iran have become more united around the central government in the context of US and Israeli interference.

On April 15, it has been two months since the outbreak of the war with Iran. Although the situation remains unclear, Wall Street seems to be gradually filtering out these external noises after an initial period of turbulence. Since March 27, the S&P 500 index has rebounded nearly 10%, poised to achieve its third consecutive week of gains. During the same period, the Nasdaq 100 index has risen approximately 12%, marking the longest streak of ten consecutive days of gains since 2021. After a five-week decline triggered by US and Israeli airstrikes, traders have begun to ignore negative news from the Middle East and are aggressively buying stocks again. Doug Peta, Chief US Investment Strategist at BCA Research, stated, 'The stock market and the entire financial market do not seem to be as concerned about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. As the earnings season kicks off, company fundamentals are driving stock prices more strongly than the headlines regarding the situation in Iran.' Veteran strategist Ed Yardeni noted that the market is learning to 'coexist' with the war in Iran and maintains the view that the S&P 500 index bottomed out on March 30.

On April 15, U.S. media reported that the U.S. Special Operations Command has awarded a $50 million contract to aviation technology company Beacon AI as part of efforts to enhance military pilots' access to artificial intelligence capabilities. This four-year contract will integrate Beacon AI's technology, which extracts vast amounts of aircraft data, including weather, flight paths, and pilot operations, and processes it through AI-enabled software to assist pilots in making quicker decisions during flights. Matt Cox, CEO of Beacon AI, stated that the technology is designed to reduce workload and complexity by collaborating with special operations pilots who operate in extremely challenging environments, thereby improving safety by minimizing errors commonly made by pilots during flights under overload, fatigue, or complex conditions.
