Odaily reported that on May 4 local time, US President Trump complained at a White House event that a poll showed only 32% of Americans support war with Iran, criticizing the poll data as "fake." A poll released by Reuters and Ipsos on April 28 showed Trump's approval rating dropping from 36% in March to 34%, the lowest level since he began his second presidential term. Reuters reported that the main reasons for the decline in Trump's approval rating are growing public dissatisfaction with his handling of the cost of living and the initiation of military actions against Iran.

Odaily reported that Iraq is offering huge discounts to buyers with long-term contracts for cargoes loading this month, but tankers must cross the Strait of Hormuz and enter the deep waters of the Persian Gulf to collect the crude. According to a notice issued by the Iraqi State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), Iraq is offering a discount of up to $33.40 per barrel for its flagship Basra Medium crude oil. The document, dated (issued on) May 3, lists a range of prices for different periods this month. The notice shows that if buyers accept SOMO’s May offer, "given that this offer is made under the existing special conditions known to all parties, the force majeure clause does not apply to this offer." The discount for Basra Medium crude oil loaded between May 1 and 10 is $33.40 per barrel, narrowing to $26 per barrel for the remainder of the month; while the offer for Basra Heavy crude oil is $30 per barrel lower than the official price.

He believes that in the crypto market, price often leads fundamental changes. If Bitcoin can stabilize above $80,000, speculative capital could gradually flow back into the market.
