Kim Sang-hoon emphasized that the law should provide market predictability, offer clear guidance for operators, and establish effective safety mechanisms for users.

According to monitoring by Beating, an internal memo shows that the White House is preparing to open Anthropic's strongest model, Mythos, to major U.S. federal agencies. Gregory Barbaccia, the federal chief information officer at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has confirmed in an email sent to cabinet officials that the OMB is establishing relevant protective measures to allow agencies to begin using this tightly controlled AI tool. Mythos is Anthropic's highest-capacity model that has not been fully disclosed to the public, and it was previously deemed a potential national security risk by the company due to its transformative capabilities in cybersecurity areas such as vulnerability exploitation and attack tool creation. This move by the White House indicates that the U.S. government, despite concerns about cyber risks, must ensure that federal agencies can leverage cutting-edge AI productivity.

On April 17, according to Hong Kong Radio, the Hong Kong government has decided to stop promoting basketball betting projects. Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Alice Mak, stated in an interview that data collected by the authorities shows that 'prediction markets' have developed rapidly in recent years, with monthly trading volume increasing from less than $100 million two years ago to over $13 billion last year, with nearly 40% of transactions related to sports. The authorities are concerned that promoting new betting projects at this time will lead to greater public interest and even participation in illegal gambling within 'prediction markets.' Therefore, they believe further research should be conducted before deciding on the next steps, and currently, new betting projects should be halted. Mak indicated that existing regulated betting projects have established a more mature monitoring and management system, which can help control risks. However, due to the uncertainties surrounding 'prediction markets,' the responsible government needs to conduct research to understand the impact of 'prediction markets' and their prevalence in Hong Kong. She also mentioned that the government has maintained close ties with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which has a rigorous monitoring system to oversee illegal gambling activities and employs experts specifically targeting illegal gambling. The government will collaborate with the Jockey Club to obtain professional advice, enabling authorities to implement measures specifically aimed at combating illegal gambling. Mak reiterated that the government's consistent policy is to discourage gambling, and betting on sports events in 'prediction markets' constitutes illegal gambling. The authorities will enhance public education to help citizens understand the harms of gambling and discourage participation in illegal gambling.

On April 17, UBS's research report indicated that the Federal Reserve remains on a path toward further easing. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell recently downplayed the necessity of tightening monetary policy due to rising energy prices, noting that policymakers typically 'ignore' supply shocks like soaring oil prices, especially when inflation expectations remain well-controlled. While 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 decline, with year-end targets for the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields set at 3.25% and 3.75%, respectively.
