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.

Earlier, the FIU imposed the suspension on Upbit over deficiencies in its controls for transactions involving unregistered entities. (Source: DigitalAsset)

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
