Odaily Planet Daily News BlueBay Chief Investment Officer Mark Dowding said in a report that the institution still expects the Federal Reserve to keep policy unchanged in 2026, but as inflation begins to fall in 2027, it is increasingly confident that the next move for U.S. interest rates will be a cut, not a hike. Dowding said it is unlikely that the yield on the 5-year U.S. Treasury note will sustainably rise above 4%. Based on this assessment, BlueBay has switched its breakeven inflation trade on medium-term U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) to a direct long position in inflation-linked bonds.

According to Odaily, some Revolut users briefly saw the price of Bitcoin (BTC) on Friday within the app significantly lower than global market levels. The K-line chart showed the price plummeting instantly before quickly returning to normal ranges, with the lowest quote captured in screenshots being around $0.02. No similar anomalies were observed on major exchanges tracked by CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, with BTC trading around $79,000 during the same period. Revolut has not yet responded to whether any real trades were executed at the abnormal price. If trades did occur, the platform may need to determine whether the cause was actual liquidity matching, quotation routing issues, or a front-end price display error. Industry insiders said that insufficient liquidity depth, temporary withdrawal of market maker orders, or disruption of price feed sources could all lead to extreme "flash crash" scenarios on a single platform.

Odaily reported that U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar edged lower on hopes for a de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East, as investors also awaited the release of U.S. nonfarm payrolls data. Joseph Dahrieh, an analyst at Tickmill, said in a report: "As markets anticipate a cooling of geopolitical tensions and a potential move toward an agreement in the Middle East, safe-haven demand may weaken, continuing to put pressure on the dollar." "Although there has been renewed tension in the Strait of Hormuz recently, Trump reiterated that the ceasefire remains in effect, which has pushed the dollar lower." However, he noted that the situation remains fragile and market sentiment could shift rapidly. (Jinshi)

U.S. President Trump posted a chart saying that oil prices have dropped 25%, or $30 per barrel, since the Biden administration, to $90 per barrel.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that according to the CoinMarketCap "April 2026 Exchange Monthly Report," Binance ranks first globally in core indicators such as reserve scale, trading volume market share, and ETH market liquidity.

The report shows that Binance's proof of reserves in April reached $149.75 billion, accounting for 68% of the total tracked reserves in the market. Among them, stablecoin reserves hit $50.69 billion, making it the exchange with the largest absolute liquidity reserve scale in the market. Additionally, among the combined $4.5 trillion monthly trading volume of 12 major exchanges, Binance firmly held the top spot with a 36.23% market share. Notably, the ratio of Binance's derivatives to spot trading closely aligns with the market average, indicating a healthy and balanced development of its spot and derivatives businesses, rather than reliance on a single sector.

In terms of spot market liquidity, the ±2% order book depth for Binance's ETH market reached $13 million, a month-over-month increase of 10.5%, making it the deepest ETH execution venue in the overall market.

Odaily reports that a team led by Michael Hartnett of Bank of America stated that U.S. stocks are on track for a fourth consecutive year of double-digit percentage gains, a highly rare occurrence that has only been seen a handful of times in history. The S&P 500 Index is currently on pace for an annualized gain of about 20%. This sustained rally has previously only occurred during World War II, the post-war peace years, and the bubble phase from 1995 to 1999. The latest wave of momentum driven by AI capital expenditure frenzy has further pushed stocks higher, but the rally has been very narrow. Now, other sectors are beginning to show stronger gains. Hartnett and his team believe that supported by the resilience of the U.S. economy, small-cap stocks, emerging markets, and commodities are "all at a turning point for a long-term bull market." The Bank of America team anticipates that materials stocks will become the next group of strong-performing sectors. Although this sector currently accounts for only 2% of the S&P 500, near a 30-year low, this situation is expected to change. Geopolitical competition for resources, increased military spending, the AI capital expenditure boom, and efforts to address the housing shortage will make the materials sector the "new bull market protagonist."
