Commentary: The news flow this week is relatively calm, with the main focus still on the US-Iran situation. Whether the US will restart military strikes against Iran will be a key market determinant. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's April monetary policy meeting minutes are worth watching, as they may reveal the Fed's future policy stance. If dovish signals emerge, gold and Bitcoin may see a rebound; otherwise, the market could continue to decline. $US30 $JPN225 $USDJPY
