March has been a wild month for investors, defined by five big swings in markets. The headline move was a surge in oil prices as investors weighed Middle East supply disruptions. But volatility extended to stocks, bonds, gold, and other assets. Summaries are generated by an AI model trained on Business Insider's articles. AI may make mistakes or provide inaccurate/incomplete information. How does inflation impact asset prices? How do wars affect global markets? What factors influence bond yield changes? What are the effects of oil price surges? Why did the US dollar appreciate recently? The Iran war has dragged investors through one of the wildest months the market has seen in a while. It all started with a surge in oil prices — a move that set off a domino chain in markets as traders panicked over the prospect of hotter inflation and a recession hitting the global economy. Stocks plunged, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq 100 entering correction territory this week. Safe havens like gold also cratered, while interest rate expectations plummeted. Easily, it made up the most chaotic month investors had seen in at least a year, when President Donald Trump's tariffs sparked a historic market crash. Here were the five moves that defined the market's rollercoaster ride in March: Oil prices soared to levels investors hadn't seen in years due to supply disruptions in the Middle East. Flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for oil traders, remain choked off amid the conflict. Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose as high as $117 a barrel on Monday after Trump threatened to attack several of Iran's energy assets, sparking fear that supply disruptions could grow worse over time. It's now on pace for a more-than-60% increase in Ma - [Business Wire] Nicokick Urges Clearer Adult Information on Cigarettes and Smoke-Free Products - [CoinDesk] 'Bitcoin cracked in 9 minutes': BTC bulls scramble for post FULL TEXT: 'Bitcoin cracked in 9 minutes': BTC bulls scramble for post-quantum protection as Google drops bombshell paperSearch/News Bitcoin bulls scramble for post-quantum protection as Google drops bombshell paper Google's finding that breaking bitcoin's cryptography requires 20x fewer qubits than previously estimated has triggered the strongest industry response to quantum threats since the Willow chip in 2024. Here's how builders, investors, and researchers are reacting. New research from Google's Quantum AI team sharply lowers the estimated resources needed for a quantum computer to break bitcoin and Ethereum wallet cryptography, suggesting such machines could arrive sooner than the mid-2030s. The paper warns that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could crack a bitcoin private key in about nine minutes once a public key is exposed, putting roughly one-third of all bitcoin—about 6.9 million coins—at heightened risk, especially after upgrades like Taproot. Ethereum developers have already launched an extensive post-quantum migration effort, while prominent voices are urging the Bitcoin community to accelerate work on quantum-resistant upgrades amid concerns that state-level actors could develop and deploy such capabilities in secret. Google just told the crypto industry the threat is closer than anyone priced in. The industry, for once, is listening. A whitepaper published late Monday by Google's Quantum AI team found that breaking the 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography protecting bitcoin and Ethereum wallets could require fewer than 500,000 physical qubits (a unit of computation in quantum systems), roughly a 20-fold reduction from previous estimates that placed the requirement in the millions. The paper also described how a quantum computer could crack bitcoin private keys in about nine minutes once a transaction exposes a public key, giving an attacker a 41% chance of beating bitcoin's 10-minute confirmation window. The research landed like a bomb across online crypto circles. Not because it says quantum computers can break bitcoin today — they can't — but because it dramatically compresses the timeline for when they might. "We are no longer looking at mid-2030s, we could have quantum computers of this scale by the end of the decade," said Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly, on X. "All blockchains need a transition plan ASAP. Post-quantum is no longer a drill." Qureshi pointed to an unusual detail in Google's disclosure. The team did not publish the actual quantum circuits. Instead, they released a zero-knowledge proof that verifies the circuits exist without revealing how they work. "This is very atypical, showing Google thinks this is serious," he said. Justin Drake, an Ethereum Foundation researcher who joined the Google paper as a late co-author, said his "confidence in q-day by 2032 has shot up significantly," estimating at least a 10% chance that a quantum computer recovers a 'secp256k1' private key from an exposed ### Tech Sentiment - [HN 69pts] Ordinary Lab Gloves May Have Skewed Microplastic Data - [HN 68pts] My son pleasured himself on Gemini Live.
