ChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten Data, a research report from Huatai Securities indicates that the current duration of the Middle East conflict and its impact on global supply and demand have exceeded a “temporary” shock, causing actual disruptions to capital and supply chains. It is expected that the US dollar and oil prices will be stronger than anticipated this year, while global liquidity will be looser than expected, and the room for valuation increases will also be below expectations. The market may experience a psychological process from following the news to returning to fundamentals, with more focus on material shortages, supply chains, and cash flow risks. Huatai Securities suggests maintaining a certain level of caution towards volatility.

Golden Ten Data reported on April 6 that Iran's Supreme Leader's foreign affairs adviser, Velayati, warned the United States on the 5th that if the US "makes another mistake," the Iran-led Resistance Front will respond by blocking the Mandeb Strait. Velayati posted on social media that "today, the unified command of the Resistance Front treats the Mandeb Strait just like the Strait of Hormuz. If the White House makes another foolish mistake, it will soon realize that with just one move, global energy and trade flows could be disrupted."

According to 1M AI News monitoring, Musk requires banks, law firms, auditing firms, and other advisory institutions participating in SpaceX's first IPO to purchase Grok subscription services as one of the conditions for involvement in the deal. Some banks have already agreed to invest tens of millions of US dollars per year in Grok subscriptions and have begun integrating it into their IT systems and corporate infrastructure. In addition to the Grok subscription, Musk has also asked these banks to advertise on the X platform, but the requirements for advertising are relatively less stringent. The Grok subscription requirement is not a gesture of goodwill by the banks but a condition that Musk insists on. Major participating banks include Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Citigroup. SpaceX has recently raised its IPO target valuation to over 2 trillion US dollars and may even become the largest IPO in history. This has strengthened the interest of Wall Street institutions in participating, so they are relatively cooperative with many of Musk's conditions.
