Today (April 6) the latest news affecting Ethereum, Bitcoin, and the US stock market opening, exercise caution and beware of false signals!!!



The market's core focus today is the "deadline" in the US-Iran standoff and strong economic data, both of which have put significant pressure on the US stock market opening.

US-Iran Standoff "Deadline" Sparks Supply Panic

Event: Former US President Trump set April 7 as the "deadline," threatening to strike Iran's power plants and key infrastructure like bridges if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for about 20% of global oil shipping, and its safe passage directly impacts global oil supply.

Latest Developments: Despite reports that the US and Iran are negotiating through Pakistan and may reach a ceasefire agreement, Trump postponed the "deadline" to 8 PM Eastern Time on April 7, leaving uncertainty.

Market Impact: This geopolitical risk has directly caused a surge in oil prices, with WTI crude briefly surpassing $113 per barrel. High oil prices have heightened concerns about a global inflation rebound and rising corporate costs, which are bearish for stocks.

Better-than-expected Non-Farm Payroll Data Pressures Rate Cut Expectations

Event: The US March non-farm payrolls released last Friday (April 3) showed an increase of 178k jobs, far exceeding the market expectation of 60k.

Market Impact: This strong report indicates that the US economy remains resilient, and the labor market has not cooled down. As a result, markets quickly reduced their bets on Fed rate cuts this year and even started discussing the possibility of delaying rate cuts or restarting rate hikes.

Immediate Consequences: In response to rate hike expectations, US Treasury yields surged, with the 10-year yield hitting a new high since 2024. This directly suppressed US stock valuations, especially for rate-sensitive tech stocks.

Under the combined influence of these two factors, US stock futures for the three major indices generally weakened before the market open on April 6, with risk aversion sentiment intensifying.
