Inflation expectations for the next 12 months have slightly increased, but there has been no change in inflation expectations for the next three or five years compared to the March survey, indicating that consumers believe the price shocks from the war will be temporary. The survey also showed that consumers feel uneasy about the labor market, believing there is a 44% probability of an increase in the unemployment rate over the next 12 months, the highest level in a year.

According to Jinshi, the 1-year inflation expectation for April from the New York Fed is 3.64%, higher than the market expectation of 3.5% and the previous value of 3.42%.

According to Jinshi reports, Cleveland Fed President Harmack stated that the wording in the Federal Reserve's policy statement suggesting that the next action will be a rate cut is inconsistent with her assessment of the economic outlook.

Harmack also mentioned that the economic outlook and future policy path face higher uncertainty, and the duration of the Iran war will be a key factor.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated on Wednesday at the Code With Claude developer conference in San Francisco that the company's revenue in the first quarter saw an 80-fold increase alongside customer AI usage, which took the company by surprise. He mentioned that the company had originally planned for a 10-fold annual growth, but the actual growth rate far exceeded expectations, leading to a tight supply of computing power.Anthropic's annualized revenue increased from nearly $1 billion at the end of 2024 to $9 billion by the end of the year, and by early April this year, it had surged to $30 billion. The strong demand for Claude Code and work agents allowed it to nearly meet its annual forecast ahead of schedule last month. To alleviate the pressure on computing power, Anthropic signed contracts for a total of 10 gigawatts of computing power supply with Amazon and Google over the past month, and announced on Thursday that it will utilize all the computing power of xAI's first data center, Colossus 1, located in Memphis, within the next month. Amodei stated that the company will continue to acquire more computing power as much as possible.

According to The Block, the crypto anti-quantum computing solution Project Eleven released a report warning that the critical point for quantum computers to crack modern encryption, known as "Q-Day," could arrive as early as 2030, with a probability of over 50% by 2033. The report predicts that advancements in quantum computing will be explosive rather than linear, and the combined effects of hardware and algorithms could lead to a leap in capabilities that is "either completely silent or suddenly explosive."Last month, researchers used quantum hardware to derive a 15-digit elliptic curve key. Although this is still far from cracking the 256-bit encryption used by Bitcoin, it constitutes a preliminary validation. Project Eleven estimates that approximately 6.9 million Bitcoins may face quantum risks under specific conditions.
