Is the Rebound an Illusion? The Bond Market Has Already Given the Answer

Is the stock market's rapid rebound to pre-war levels a sign of recovery or a misleading rally driven by momentum rather than fundamentals? While the S&P 500 has fully recovered its losses from the U.S.-Iran conflict and nears all-time highs, bond and oil markets tell a different story. Key data reveals contradictions: 10-year Treasury yields have risen 30 basis points, signaling persistent inflation concerns and constrained Fed policy space. WTI crude is up 37%, indicating that geopolitical risks are not priced to resolve soon. The 2-year Treasury yield, a sensitive gauge of rate expectations, has increased nearly 40 bps, challenging the narrative of imminent Fed rate cuts. The equity market appears to be pricing in a "perfect scenario": subdued oil impact on consumption, Fed rate cuts despite hot inflation, stable corporate margins, and near-term conflict resolution. However, bonds and oil reflect a reality of sticky inflation, limited Fed flexibility, and ongoing geopolitical tension. This divergence suggests the rally may be momentum-driven rather than fundamentally justified. If upcoming CPI data exceeds expectations (e.g., above 3.5%), the 2026 rate-cut narrative could collapse. Investors chasing the rally are betting on an ideal outcome—swift conflict resolution, controlled inflation, Fed easing, and resilient earnings—while ignoring signals from more cautious asset classes. The gap will likely close either through a fundamental improvement validating stocks or a market correction aligning with bond and oil realities.

Memory Card Prices Double in Four Months: How Long Will the Surge Last?

NAND flash memory prices have entered a rapid upward cycle, with consumer-grade storage products like microSD cards seeing significant retail price increases. For example, a SanDisk Extreme 128GB microSD card rose from $17 in October 2025 to nearly $40 by February 2026—a 130% surge in under four months. This price surge is driven by structural shifts in the NAND market, primarily due to soaring demand from AI data centers. These large-scale buyers are securing the majority of NAND wafer supply through long-term contracts, leaving limited inventory for the consumer market. According to TrendForce, NAND contract prices rose 55–60% in Q1 2026, with enterprise SSD prices climbing 53–58%. Retail prices rose even more sharply due to constrained supply in the distribution channel. Unlike the 2016–2017 price cycle caused by production transitions, the current spike is demand-led. AI data centers are consuming NAND capacity at an unprecedented rate, with 2026 demand growth estimated at 20–22% against supply growth of only 15–17%. Manufacturers are prioritizing high-margin enterprise products over consumer-grade storage, further tightening retail availability. New production capacity from major suppliers like Samsung, Micron, and Kioxia is not expected until late 2027 or 2028. Until then, consumer storage prices are likely to remain high, with no significant price relief anticipated in the near term.

"The Market Has Declared Victory": S&P Rallies 10%, Nasdaq Notches 10-Day Winning Streak: US Stocks "No Longer Care" About Hormuz

US stocks have rebounded strongly despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East, with the S&P 500 gaining nearly 10% since March 27 and the Nasdaq 100 rising about 12% over 10 consecutive days—its longest winning streak since 2021. The S&P 500 has fully erased losses incurred since the Iran conflict began. Market participants appear to be selectively ignoring geopolitical noise. Goldman Sachs notes that "the market seems to have declared victory" in the Iran conflict, even though the situation remains unresolved. Analysts highlight that equities are forward-looking instruments and have moved past waiting for a resolution. The rally has been driven by strong performances in AI-related stocks and semiconductors, with Nvidia and Micron expected to contribute over 50% of S&P 500 EPS growth this quarter. Market liquidity has also improved significantly. Institutional investors, CTAs, and short-covering have fueled the rebound, though long-only and hedge funds have been net sellers. Despite the optimism, some strategists caution that risks remain, especially if the geopolitical situation deteriorates. Oil markets, in contrast, remain cautious, with WTI falling below $91 as supply disruption concerns persist.

BitMart Research Institute's Weekly Hotspot Analysis: U.S.-Iran Détente Coupled with Fed's Hawkish Pivot, Crypto Market Follows Suit in Rebound and Bottoming

BitMart Research Weekly Analysis: U.S.-Iran De-escalation and Fed’s Hawkish Turn Drive Crypto Market Rebound and Bottom-Building Macro Overview: Geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran show signs of easing, supporting a rebound in risk assets including equities and oil. U.S. stocks, particularly in AI-related sectors, rebounded strongly. The latest FOMC minutes revealed a more hawkish tone, with “rate hikes” entering discussions, though the majority of members remain focused on labor market conditions. March CPI rose due to energy prices, but core CPI was softer. Sustained high oil prices may push supercore inflation higher in the coming months, potentially influencing Fed policy. Crypto Market Performance: BTC and ETH followed the upward trend in equities, supported by improved risk sentiment and expectations around crypto regulatory clarity (e.g., Clarity Act). However, some long-term indicators suggest the market may still be in a bear phase or experiencing bottom consolidation. The $60,000 level is seen as a key support for BTC. Altcoins lack fundamental drivers and remain highly volatile with strong manipulative tendencies, making BTC and ETH more reliable for strategic allocation. Trading and Fund Flows: Spot trading volume remains low, but active buying interest is noticeable. Perpetual swap funding rates are negative, indicating short dominance, while options markets show no significant rise in fear. Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows, including a single-day inflow of $421 million. MicroStrategy accelerated its BTC accumulation, adding nearly 14,000 BTC recently.

Interest Rates May Not Be Cut This Year

The article discusses how a war in the Persian Gulf, leading to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, has driven up oil prices, with Brent crude surging from $70 to over $118 per barrel. This energy shock has pushed U.S. retail gasoline prices above $4 per gallon, contributing significantly to inflation. The CPI rose to 3.3% in March, the largest monthly increase since June 2022, with energy costs affecting broader sectors like food and logistics. As a result, the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in 2026 has diminished. Market predictions now show a high probability of zero rate cuts, compared to pre-war expectations of multiple cuts. The Fed faces a dilemma between addressing inflation risks and supporting the economy. Politically, the situation poses challenges for President Trump and the Republican Party, as high inflation could impact the upcoming midterm elections. Trump's efforts to negotiate with Iran have stalled due to irreconcilable demands, and Iran's拖延 tactics may further strain U.S. economic and political stability. The article concludes that the prolonged conflict and sustained high oil prices could keep inflation elevated, delaying any monetary easing.

Conversation with Strategist Mark Moss: Bitcoin to Reach $45 Million by 2050, Must Build the Ability to Hold Wealth

Cryptocurrency strategist Mark Moss predicts Bitcoin could reach $45 million by 2050, and even $500 million if it becomes the global reserve currency. In a podcast interview, Moss argues that the current fiat system encourages gambling and theft as wealth-building strategies, but true wealth comes from entrepreneurship and long-term investing. He emphasizes that Bitcoin’s annualized returns have significantly outperformed traditional assets like stocks and real estate, with 85% over the past five years. Moss acknowledges that his predictions sound extreme but bases them on Bitcoin’s potential to capture a growing share of the global store-of-value market, geopolitical shifts away from the U.S. dollar, and its fixed supply, which protects holders from inflation. He also explains that holding Bitcoin changes one’s mindset by encouraging long-term thinking and disciplined spending, as opposed to fiat systems that devalue savings at roughly 8-10% annually. Moss advises allocating only a small portion of one’s portfolio to high-risk investments while focusing on assets like Bitcoin and tech stocks that outpace inflation.

Crypto Traders Shrugs Off Inflation Data as Iran Tensions Simmer

Crypto traders are largely dismissing the potential impact of the upcoming U.S. March inflation data, despite expectations that it may reflect inflationary pressures from the Iran conflict. Market analysis indicates a predicted Bitcoin price fluctuation of only 2.5%, which falls within its recent average volatility. This sentiment is reflected in the low implied volatility index, which has dropped to a multi-month low. Options and derivatives pricing suggests that investors do not view the inflation report as a significant market-moving event. Additionally, interest rate markets have already scaled back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year due to inflation risks from the Middle East tensions and oil price shocks.

"New Fed News Agency": Regardless of Whether a Ceasefire Agreement is Reached, the Outlook for Fed Rate Cuts Remains Bleak

Nick Timiraos, known as the "New Fed Whisperer," argues that a potential ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran would not brighten the Federal Reserve’s dimming prospects for interest rate cuts. Instead, it would replace one economic challenge with another: an energy shock that could prolong inflationary pressures without severely damaging demand, thereby keeping rates higher for longer. The Fed’s March meeting minutes revealed that officials were already cautious about cutting rates even before the conflict, as progress on inflation had stalled while the labor market remained stable. While a ceasefire might reduce the risk of a worst-case recession scenario, it could also leave underlying inflation pressures intact. Energy and commodity prices that rose during the conflict may not fully retreat, and financial conditions could loosen amid post-ceasefire optimism. The Fed is weighing dual risks: a sudden labor market downturn that would warrant rate cuts, and persistent above-target inflation that might require hikes. Although most officials still expect at least one cut this year, some have grown more hesitant. Even if the conflict ends quickly, supply chain "echo effects" and geopolitical vulnerabilities may keep inflation elevated, reinforcing the Fed’s cautious stance.

Bitcoin rises as ETF inflows hit February highs amid crisis – But will it last?

Bitcoin ETFs saw significant inflows amid the West Asia crisis, with March net inflows reaching $1.3 billion. On April 6, daily net inflows hit $471.3 million, the highest since February. BTC rallied 8% over the past month, outperforming gold, suggesting its role as a safe-haven asset. A short squeeze on April 8 wiped out $424 million in shorts, lifting BTC from $67.7K to $72K. Analysts warn that the focus may shift to macro factors if geopolitical tensions ease. The upcoming U.S. PCE inflation data on April 9 could drive volatility, as markets anticipate a hawkish Fed pause. Profit-taking reached $257 million during the rally, but the response was seen as modest. The inflation report is expected to set the next direction for BTC.

The dollar is weakening – The next crypto rally might start from Japan

The article discusses how the weakening US dollar, combined with Japan's rising bond yields, could trigger the next cryptocurrency rally. Japan's 10-year bond yield has reached a multi-decade high of 2.42%, signaling persistent inflation and potential monetary tightening by the Bank of Japan. This has caused the yen to stabilize after a period of weakness, impacting the JPY/USD pair. Concurrently, cooling US Treasury yields are contributing to a softer US Dollar Index (DXY). Historically, a weaker dollar leads investors to rotate capital from traditional safe-haven assets into riskier ones like crypto, seeking higher returns. Analysts, including Peter Schiff, suggest an overvalued dollar could be a key catalyst for capital flowing into crypto markets. The convergence of these factors—rising Japanese yields reshaping global capital flows and a softening dollar—creates a favorable macro environment for a potential crypto market rally.
