儘管市場波動，比特幣仍將“減半”

在周五波動的交易時段中，在即將到來的「減半」事件和中東緊張局勢加劇之前，比特幣（BTC-USD）和油價經歷了大幅波動。比特幣減半預計將於 4 月 19 日至 20 日舉行，屆時礦工獎勵將會減少，可能會影響其價格。同時，在伊朗襲擊以色列和以色列報復性空襲後，布蘭特原油和西德州中質原油價格飆升。儘管財務狀況良好，但由於第二季度收入預測令人失望，Netflix (NFLX) 股價下跌，而由於投資者在地緣政治擔憂中尋求避險，黃金 (GC=F) 觸及每盎司 2,428 美元。

Bitcoin Poised for "Halving" Amidst Market Volatility

市場波動中比特幣有望“減半”

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has experienced considerable price fluctuations this week, oscillating between $59,980 (£48,222) and $64,500 on Friday alone, in anticipation of the impending "halving" event.

由於預期即將到來的「減半」事件，比特幣（BTC-USD）本週經歷了相當大的價格波動，僅週五就在 59,980 美元（48,222 英鎊）和 64,500 美元之間波動。

The Bitcoin halving, a phenomenon that occurs approximately every four years, entails a reduction in the number of bitcoins awarded to miners, resulting in increased scarcity and potentially influencing the cryptocurrency's market value. The completion of the halving is anticipated on either April 19th or 20th, with the block reward decreasing from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block.

比特幣減半是一種大約每四年發生一次的現象，導致獎勵給礦工的比特幣數量減少，導致稀缺性增加，並可能影響加密貨幣的市場價值。預計減半將於 4 月 19 日或 20 日完成，區塊獎勵將從每個區塊 6.25 BTC 降至 3.125 BTC。

Previous halvings have historically spurred price increases for Bitcoin. On Friday morning in London, the cryptocurrency's price had ascended by 5.3% over the preceding 24 hours.

從歷史上看，先前的減半刺激了比特幣的價格上漲。週五早上在倫敦，加密貨幣的價格在過去 24 小時內上漲了 5.3%。

This halving follows the approval of multiple spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January, which has attracted significant inflows into products launched by major financial institutions such as Blackrock (BLK) and Fidelity.

此次減半是在一月份多個現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）獲得批准之後進行的，該基金吸引了大量資金流入貝萊德（BLK）和富達等主要金融機構推出的產品。

Oil Prices Surge Amidst Geopolitical Tensions

地緣政治緊張局勢下油價飆升

Oil prices have fluctuated dramatically this week, largely influenced by escalating tensions in the Middle East. Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate declined simultaneously on Wednesday before rebounding on Friday as energy markets assess the repercussions of Iran's attack on Israel and Israel's retaliatory airstrikes late on Thursday.

本週油價大幅波動，很大程度上受到中東緊張局勢升級的影響。布蘭特原油和西德克薩斯中質原油週三同時下跌，週五反彈，能源市場評估伊朗襲擊以色列和以色列週四晚間報復性空襲的影響。

According to Sky News, there have been no reports of significant damage or casualties in Iran thus far.

根據天空新聞報道，到目前為止，伊朗尚未收到重大損失或人員傷亡的報告。

Brent crude was trading at $87.90 per barrel on Friday, while crude oil stood at $83.53, both exhibiting an increase of approximately 1% shortly after 9:00 AM.

週五，布蘭特原油價格為每桶 87.90 美元，原油價格為 83.53 美元，上午 9:00 後不久，兩者均上漲約 1%。

Netflix Revenue Forecast Disappoints, Shares Drop

Netflix 營收預測令人失望，股價下跌

Netflix stock fell sharply by almost 4.8% in premarket trading on Friday following the release of a disappointing revenue forecast for the second quarter.

在發布令人失望的第二季營收預測後，Netflix 股價在周五盤前交易中大幅下跌近 4.8%。

Despite positive metrics such as a 54% increase in operating income and the addition of 9.3 million global subscribers in the first quarter, management indicated that net additions would decelerate in the second quarter relative to the first quarter due to "typical seasonality."

儘管第一季營業收入成長了 54%，全球用戶增加了 930 萬等積極指標，但管理層表示，由於“典型的季節性”，第二季的淨增長量將較第一季放緩。

However, the company's operating margin rose by seven percentage points to 28%, and management revised its full-year margin guidance upward to 25%.

然而，該公司的營業利潤率上升了 7 個百分點，達到 28%，管理階層將全年利潤率指引上調至 25%。

Gold Nears Record Highs on Safe-Haven Demand

避險需求推動黃金接近歷史新高

Gold momentarily approached record highs on Friday, reaching $2,428 per ounce as geopolitical uncertainties drive investors toward safe-haven assets. It is currently trading slightly above $2,404. The metal's price has surged from around $2,000 this year alone, buoyed by various conflicts.

由於地緣政治的不確定性促使投資者轉向避險資產，週五金價一度逼近歷史新高，達到每盎司 2,428 美元。目前其交易價格略高於 2,404 美元。受各種衝突的推動，該金屬的價格僅今年就從 2,000 美元左右飆升。

"A clear geopolitical risk premium has been propelling the market," said Neil Wilson, Chief Market Analyst at Finalto. "However, a simple metric comparing M1 money supply to above-ground gold implies that $2,400 is roughly the average."

Finalto 首席市場分析師 Neil Wilson 表示：“明顯的地緣政治風險溢價一直在推動市場發展。” “然而，將 M1 貨幣供應量與地上黃金進行比較的簡單指標表明，2,400 美元大致是平均值。”
