On April 9, after the U.S. and Iran reached a Phase 1 ceasefire, the two sides did not return to stable equilibrium—instead, they moved into a more challenging dynamic: the supply shock has not fully dissipated, while demand remains resilient, prolonging high inflation. Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos noted the core takeaway from the latest signals: the end of hostilities did not ease policy challenges; instead, it left the Fed stuck in a middle ground—unable to ease rates and finding it hard to tighten further. From a policy standpoint, FOMC meeting minutes have explicitly rejected the narrative that “war equals a rate cut trigger.” Three structural factors are key constraints: delayed tariff pass-through, energy prices feeding into core inflation, and the risk of long-term high inflation reanchoring expectations. Though the ceasefire has reduced the tail risk of runaway energy prices, market data has also removed the last condition that would have forced the Fed to pivot

On April 9, a South Korean court ruled in favor of Upbit operator Dunamu in its administrative lawsuit against the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), overturning the FIU’s three-month partial business suspension order against the crypto exchange. The court found Dunamu had taken steps—including soliciting customer commitment letters and self-monitoring—despite the lack of specific enforcement guidelines from regulators. While the court noted debate over whether these measures were sufficient to prevent transactions with unregistered entities, it concluded Dunamu had fulfilled its reasonable obligations without clear regulatory guidance. Earlier, the FIU imposed the suspension on Upbit over deficiencies in its controls for transactions involving unregistered entities. (Source: DigitalAsset)

April 9 U.S. crude oil exports are set to hit a record high in April as Asian buyers scramble for alternatives to disrupted Middle East supplies amid the Iran war, the Financial Times reported. Oil research firm Kpler projects U.S. crude exports this month will jump nearly 33% from March’s 3.9 million barrels per day (bpd) to 5.2 million bpd. Asian demand for U.S. crude is set to surge 82% to 2.5 million bpd. Data shows 68 empty tankers are currently en route to the U.S. — up from 24 in the week before the Feb. 28 war outbreak, and well above last year’s weekly average of 27. The export surge underscores the U.S.’s growing role as a global “swing supplier” — but competition from Asian buyers could push up domestic fuel prices, ramping up fears of a new inflation wave tied to the Iran war launched by the Trump administration. The Trump administration has no current plans to ban oil exports. Analysts say a ban would leave U.S. crude unsold, piling up domestically, while refine

**Bitcoin Rallies 6% in 4 Hours on US-Iran Ceasefire, $280M in Shorts Liquidated** April 9 (yesterday) – Bitcoin surged 6% within four hours, driven by a global stock market rally following a two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. The jump triggered the liquidation of $280 million worth of Bitcoin short positions. Analysis shows open interest rose 2.5% to 593,930 BTC, but the derivatives market lacks meaningful bullish momentum, with no significant position shifts. Bears show no eagerness to close out positions, per the data. Inflation pressures persist: Brent crude holds at $95 per barrel, well above the $72 level seen at the end of February. Critically, the two-week ceasefire is not a long-term solution, leaving open the risk of a Bitcoin pullback to $68,000. (Source: Cointelegraph)
