On April 17, UBS's research report indicated that the Federal Reserve is still on a path toward further easing. Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently downplayed the necessity of tightening monetary policy due to rising energy prices, noting that policymakers typically 'ignore' supply shocks like surging oil prices, especially when inflation expectations remain firmly controlled. Although the Fed is still seeking further evidence of a sustained decline in core inflation before implementing additional easing measures, we still expect a 50 basis point rate cut later this year. Given that U.S. Treasury yields are significantly higher than pre-conflict levels, we believe there is ample room for downward movement, with our year-end targets for the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields set at 3.25% and 3.75%, respectively.

On April 17, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiajun held a regular press conference. Guo emphasized that China consistently opposes illegal unilateral sanctions that lack a basis in international law and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council, as well as the abuse of extraterritorial jurisdiction.

On April 17, Bank of America reported that in the week ending Wednesday, investors withdrew a record $172.2 billion from cash and money markets. This phenomenon is primarily attributed to optimism regarding the potential end of the war in Iran and tax-related fund flows. Additionally, there was a significant influx of funds into the stock market, mainly due to a large amount of money returning to U.S. equities, which reached a historic high this week. The stock market saw an inflow of $11.3 billion, with $17.4 billion specifically flowing into U.S. stocks. Emerging market equities experienced their 11th consecutive week of outflows, totaling $10.5 billion; South Korean equity funds faced a record outflow of $2.5 billion. European stock markets saw an outflow of $4.7 billion, the largest since November 2024. Bank of America noted that the flow of funds data indicates that 2026 will be a record year for global equities (with inflows reaching $1 trillion) and investment-grade bonds (with inflows of $50 billion).

On April 17, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement declaring that both the IRGC and the Iranian military are prepared to deliver a strong response to any acts of aggression and criminal behavior by enemies. The statement noted that the enemies' attempts to invade Iran through land and maritime operations and seize Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf have been thwarted. Should the enemies dare to make any rash moves in their aggression against Iran, they will undoubtedly face a lethal counterattack from Iran, resulting not only in humiliation and a strategic defeat but also in gaining nothing.

On April 17, news from CryptoQuant indicated that the Bitcoin Comprehensive Market Index (BCMI), composed of MVRV, NUPL, SOPR, and the Fear and Greed Index, is currently testing a historically significant pivot zone. Analyst Woominkyu (@Woo_Minkyu) stated that the BCMI index has dropped to the range of 0.2 to 0.3. While this does not guarantee an immediate 'V-shaped' reversal, this zone historically corresponds to deeply undervalued levels for BTC. Data analysis confirms that the current pullback has reset realized value and market sentiment to levels not seen since early 2023, although the 90-day moving average (white line) is still trending downward. From a conservative perspective, it is necessary to wait for this slope to flatten, which would signal the exhaustion of selling pressure. Furthermore, analyst Woominkyu believes the market is entering a 'value accumulation zone', with downside potential diminishing compared to long-term upside potential. However, confirmation of a bottom signal for the index requires waiting for price stabilization.

On April 17, GMGN reported that the market cap of the Ethereum-based meme coin ASTEROID has surpassed $20 million, currently standing at $21.84 million, marking an all-time high, with a 24-hour trading volume of $14.7 million. BlockBeats notes that 15-year-old Liv Perrotto, who passed away from cancer, had a final wish to meet Elon Musk and had prepared a list of questions for him. She previously participated in designing a zero-gravity indicator toy named 'Asteroid,' modeled after a Shiba Inu. Her mother later publicly wrote to Musk, hoping he would consider making Asteroid the official mascot of SpaceX in accordance with Liv Perrotto's wishes. Musk responded, stating, 'I will reply shortly.' BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily reliant on market sentiment and speculative hype, and lacks actual value or use cases, urging investors to be aware of the risks.
