US pressures Iran before negotiations resume: Thousands of troops deployed to the Middle East; Trump retains "all options." Iran will use alternative ports to bypass US sanctions; some tankers have already "successfully breached" the Strait of Hormuz. Bessent: "I understand" if the Fed needs to delay rate cuts; once core inflation subsides, room for rate cuts will open up. ASML Q1 net profit beat expectations, but Q2 outlook missed expectations; export control uncertainties factored into full-year forecast. ASML earnings call: Storage clients' capacity for this year is fully sold out; long-term contracts provide a floor; non-EUV growth has "established a cyclical turning point." Wall Street quant giant Jane Street invests $1 billion in CoreWeave. NVIDIA's new AI model ignites quantum computing; related concept stocks surge pre-market. Alibaba Cloud: Raised service prices for certain Model Units (MUs) on its large-model platform Bailian. Morgan Stanley reports record Q1 revenue and profits; equity trading income hits an all-time high; wealth management attracts $118.4 billion. Amid Middle East conflict shocks, Hermès Q1 sales growth missed expectations, with shares plunging over 10%.
