On April 9th, Trump warned Iran on social media to immediately stop charging tolls for passing oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, accusing Iran of "doing very poorly." The U.S. previously openly claimed that the tolls should be collected by the United States. Iran responded firmly, announcing that control of the strait has entered a "new phase" and that a toll collection mechanism is being promoted. Although the U.S. and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire agreement, the situation in the strait remains chaotic: on the 8th, only 4 ships were allowed to pass, the lowest daily number since A

The linkage logic between crude oil and gold
Currently, the two mainly transmit signals through three pathways:
1. Inflation—Interest Rate Pathway: Rising oil prices → Increased inflation expectations → The Federal Reserve finds it difficult to cut rates / or even raises rates → Real interest rates rise → Suppresses gold; Falling oil prices → Reverse pathway → Benefits gold;
2. Petrodollar Pathway: Rising oil prices boost global dollar demand, supporting the dollar index, and a stronger dollar in turn suppresses gold;
3. Safe-Haven Linkage Pathway: During escalating geopolitical conflicts, cru

The shackles of energy inflation have been lifted, but the "ceasefire illusion" will soon be shattered
The most core change in this round of market is: in the first half of the geopolitical conflict, gold is simultaneously under the dual pressure of "energy inflation" and "interest rate hike expectations." In March, COMEX gold plummeted 10.9%, marking the first single-month decline of over 10% since 2013. After the ceasefire news, the sharp drop in oil prices eased inflation concerns, and market expectations for rate cuts shifted from "betting on rate hikes" to about a 65% chance of at least o

Short-term Market Review: Ceasefire Sparks Extreme Divergence, Then Rapid Reversal
On April 8th, after the ceasefire news was announced, the global asset logic instantly shifted: oil prices plummeted violently, Brent crude fell below $100 per barrel, WTI once dropped nearly 20%, with a single-day decline hitting a six-year record; gold surged over 3%, COMEX gold prices broke through $4,800 per ounce, the US dollar index weakened, and the re-emergence of rate cut expectations drove gold prices soaring.
But the reversal came very quickly. Just one day after the ceasefire, Israel launched a large

#Gate上线Pre-IPOs
When “Unicorns” Are No Longer Out of Reach: My Three Thoughts on Gate’s Digital Pre-IPOs
When I saw Gate roll out digital Pre-IPOs, my first reaction was: ordinary people finally have the chance to “get on board” before the listing. For the three topics discussed in this issue, here are my thoughts.
1️⃣ The Most Anticipated Unicorn: SpaceX
If I can only choose one, I would pick SpaceX. This company not only has a valuation exceeding $800 billion, but more importantly, its business logic is clear—its Starlink business has achieved positive cash flow, and its future imagination

#Gate上线Pre-IPOs Gate has opened the digital Pre-IPO application portal, pioneering a new path in the public market.

In terms of participation methods, users can directly subscribe using platform-native stablecoins, without complicated procedures or high capital thresholds, allowing more

Despite the US-Iran ceasefire agreement for two weeks, Iran has not relaxed its control over the Strait of Hormuz. According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran has notified mediators that it will limit daily ship passages to about 12 vessels and charge tolls, aiming to turn the wartime temporary control into a long-term management mechanism. Iranian state media reported that the strait has been fully closed, and all ships must coordinate with the military; oil tankers that do not meet the requirements will be asked to return. Data from S&P shows that on Wednesday, only 4 ships were permitted to

The current market presents a rare pattern of intense long and short positions intertwined:
· Bullish factors: Iran has incorporated BTC into its transit fee payment system, strengthening the narrative of Bitcoin as a geopolitical hedge; on the first day of the Morgan Stanley ETF launch, $34 million flowed in, continuously expanding institutional entry channels; Saylor remains bullish, believing that a bottom characterized by exhausted sell orders has formed around $60k.
· Bearish factors: Market panic continues to spread, with the index dropping to 14; multiple parties, including the Ethereum

The Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations have been postponed
On the macro level, this also exerts pressure on risk assets. Citigroup has delayed the Fed's rate cut expectations from June, July, and September to September, October, and December, respectively, expecting a total cut of 75 basis points, citing stronger-than-expected employment rebound and ongoing inflation risks. More aggressively, JPMorgan predicts that the Fed will not cut rates at all in 2026, with the next policy adjustment expected to be a 25 basis point hike in Q3 2027.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also stated at t

Fund Updates: Ethereum Foundation Sells Off vs. VS Morgan Stanley Enters
Two major “institutions” in the cryptocurrency sector are showing completely different funding moves. On one hand, the Ethereum Foundation exchanged 5,000 ETH for stablecoins via the CoWSwap platform, using a time-weighted average price (TWAP) strategy to minimize market impact. The proceeds are used to support daily operations and ecosystem grants. However, this large sale is still interpreted by the market as a bearish signal—traders may think the foundation is “taking profits” or expects prices to fall further. In addi

On April 6th, reports emerged that the US and Iran are discussing a 45-day ceasefire, leading to a rapid compression of geopolitical risk premiums and a rebound in global market risk appetite. Bitcoin soared from $68,800-$69,000 to $71,000-$72,500 within hours, with an intraday increase of approximately 4.5%-6%, and the total market capitalization expanded by over $120 billion in a single day. This rally was clearly driven by short squeeze dynamics: about $70 million in short positions were liquidated, with short liquidations roughly three times the long liquidations, creating artificial upwar

Regarding whether the war will come to a complete halt and whether the Strait of Hormuz can resume navigation
From the current situation, a full cessation of the war is premature, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is also limited. This ceasefire is essentially "conditional and time-limited": Iran agrees to ensure safe passage through the strait within two weeks, provided the United States halts bombing. The Iranian Supreme National Security Council explicitly stated that "negotiations do not mean an end to the hostilities," and only after adhering to the 10 ceasefire terms and finalizi

The Iranian Supreme National Security Council issued a statement on the 8th, revealing the main contents of the 10 ceasefire terms submitted to the United States through Pakistan. Iranian media subsequently disclosed all 10 terms, but the content is not entirely consistent.
According to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, the 10 terms are as follows:
1. The United States should principle-wise guarantee not to infringe upon Iran;
2. Develop a security transit agreement for the Strait of Hormuz to ensure Iran's dominant position;
3. Accept Iran's uranium enrichment activities;
4. Lift all
