According to a report by Jinshi, Huatai Securities' research indicates that the duration of the current Middle East conflict and its impact on global supply and demand have exceeded "temporary" shocks, leading to substantial breaks in funding and supply chains. It is expected that the US dollar and oil prices will be stronger than anticipated this year, while the global liquidity easing will be lower than expected, and the potential for valuation increases will also be below expectations. The market may experience a psychological process of shifting from tracking news to returning to fundamentals, with increased focus on material shortages, supply chain, and cash flow risks. Huatai Securities recommends maintaining a certain level of caution towards volatility.

Slow Fog has once again issued a security reminder stating to pay attention to checking for malicious versions of axios and the exposure risk of OpenClaw npm global installation history. axios@1.14.1 and axios@0.3.4 have been confirmed as malicious versions, both of which have injected the dependency plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, delivering cross-platform malicious payloads through the postinstall script.The impact of OpenClaw is assessed based on scenarios: source code builds are not affected, as the locked versions in the lock file are 1.13.5/1.13.6; however, users who installed via npm install -g openclaw@2026.3.28 face historical exposure risks due to the presence of optionalDependencies.axios@^1.7.4 in the dependency chain, which may resolve to axios@1.14.1 during the time window when the malicious version is still online. Currently, npm has reverted the resolution to axios@1.14.0, but environments that were installed during the attack window are still advised to be checked. Slow Fog has provided inspection commands and IoC paths for various platforms; if the plain-crypto-js directory is found, even if the package.json has been cleaned, it should still be regarded as high-risk execution traces. It is recommended that affected hosts immediately rotate credentials and conduct host-side inspections. Previously, Slow Fog founder Yu Xian reminded that OpenClaw version 3.28 may introduce a toxic version of axios, and users need to urgently check.
