The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a statement regarding the military aggression of Israel and the United States against Iran: Dear Iranian people, compatriots, our sacred and precious homeland, Iran has once again been subjected to military aggression by the United States and Israel. This morning, on the eve of Nowruz and the tenth day of Ramadan, the United States and Israel brazenly violated Iran's territorial integrity and national sovereignty, attacking defensive targets and non-military facilities in various cities of our country.The renewed military aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran occurs while Iran is engaged in a diplomatic process with the United States. Although we are firmly convinced of the intentions of the United States and Israel to carry out further military aggression, we have once again engaged in negotiations to demonstrate our position to the international community and all countries around the world, to affirm the justice of the Iranian people, and to expose the illegitimacy of any pretext for aggression.Today, the Iranian people take pride in everything they do to prevent war. Now is the time to defend the homeland and resist the military aggression of the enemy. While we are preparing for negotiations, we are also ready for defense at any moment. The Iranian armed forces will respond to the aggressors with great strength. The Iranian armed forces will utilize all capabilities and resources to repel this evil aggression and eliminate the threat from the enemy.

As the selection of the Federal Reserve Chair approaches a conclusion, JPMorgan suggests "selling 2-year U.S. Treasuries" as a tactical trade. The bank expects that, despite Kevin Warsh potentially taking the helm at the Federal Reserve, the room for significant rate cuts will be limited in the context of solid economic fundamentals.JPMorgan predicts that the core CPI in January may rise to 0.39% month-on-month, higher than the market's general expectation of 0.31%, reflecting the price adjustments at the beginning of the year and ongoing price pressures. Strategists point out that strong economic growth and persistent inflation will limit the downward space for front-end rates, stating that "front-end rates are unlikely to significantly decline from current levels."The current market expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates by 25 basis points as early as July, with another cut before the end of the year. The yield on 2-year U.S. Treasuries has slightly rebounded to 3.47% ahead of the CPI data release.However, there are also dissenting voices. David Einhorn, founder of Greenlight Capital, bets that the rate cuts under Warsh's era will exceed market expectations and has purchased SOFR futures to position for a more accommodative policy path.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on Farcaster that prediction markets are a remedy for the crazy opinions on emotional topics, using two screenshots as examples: Elon Musk previously posted that a civil war in the UK is "inevitable," while the prediction market Polymarket shows only a 3% probability for "Will there be a civil war in the UK in 2024?" (Vitalik believes 3% is still too high, as some bettors are inflating the probability).Vitalik stated that many users on social media exaggerate claims that "something is definitely going to happen" to create panic or attract attention, but they are not held accountable for it; whereas prediction markets involve real money bets, which are more likely to reflect true probabilities and can counter these "crazy opinions."Vitalik then elaborated on his overall view of prediction markets: compared to social media (where creating panic comes without accountability) and mainstream media (which often resorts to clickbait), prediction markets have a stronger incentive for "truth-seeking." Telling the truth can yield real rewards, while lying incurs significant economic penalties. After discovering exaggerated news, checking Polymarket reveals very low probabilities, which can help calm people down, and conversely, it can also prevent false hopes. Prediction markets serve as a "cure" for social media, providing a more rational and responsible way to aggregate public opinion.

Goldman Sachs' Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Financial Risk, Josh Schiffrin, stated that following last week's Federal Reserve interest rate cut and Chairman Jerome Powell's cautious remarks regarding labor market risks, the Fed's acceptance of further rate cuts next year may exceed previous market expectations.Josh Schiffrin pointed out that Jerome Powell's statements indicate that concerns within the Fed about the sustainability of employment conditions are intensifying. Jerome Powell acknowledged that the labor market is gradually cooling, but also warned that recent employment data may overstate potential job growth and emphasized the significant downside risks facing labor conditions.Goldman Sachs' analysis suggests that this shift in focus makes the upcoming labor market data crucial for shaping policy expectations, particularly emphasizing the unemployment rate rather than the overall non-farm payroll growth. Goldman Sachs expects this round of rate cuts to extend until 2026, with the federal funds target rate potentially falling to 3% or lower.

According to Jin Ten, Goldman Sachs expects that the Federal Reserve may be more willing to further cut interest rates next year than the market previously assumed. Josh Schiffrin, Chief Strategist of Goldman Sachs' Global Banking and Markets division, stated that Powell's press conference signaled growing concerns within the Fed about the sustainability of employment conditions. Schiffrin believes that the upcoming employment reports will be key factors in determining whether the Fed will resume easing policies, with the market particularly focusing on the unemployment rate rather than the overall growth in non-farm payrolls. Goldman Sachs expects the easing cycle to extend into 2026, with the federal funds target rate potentially falling to 3% or lower.
