Economy
U.S. retail sales surged 1.7% in March, marking the biggest jump in more than three years, largely driven by a record spike in gasoline receipts. Analysts warned that underlying consumer spending may be weaker than headline numbers suggest. On Wall Street, major indices slipped as geopolitical uncertainty pushed oil prices higher: the Dow Jones fell 0.59% to 49,149.38, the S&P 500 dropped 0.63% to 7,064.01, and the Nasdaq declined 0.59% to 24,259.96. Oil prices rose on fears that stalled U.S.-Iran peace talks could disrupt supply. Meanwhile, Putin publicly acknowledged that Russia's economy is in trouble, and Russia's respected central banker faces uncertainty over his position.
美国零售销售3月份增长1.7%，创下三年多来最大涨幅，主要受汽油价格飙升推动。分析师警告，潜在的消费者支出可能弱于表面数据。华尔街方面，地缘政治不确定性推动油价上涨，主要股指下跌：道琼斯指数下跌0.59%至49,149.38点，标普500指数下跌0.63%至7,064.01点，纳斯达克指数下跌0.59%至24,259.96点。由于美伊和平谈判陷入僵局引发供应担忧，油价走高。与此同时，普京公开承认俄罗斯经济陷入困境，俄罗斯受尊敬的央行行长职位面临不确定性。
Politics
The Department of Justice indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), one of America's most prominent civil rights organizations, accusing it of fraud by allegedly funneling over $3 million to white supremacist and extremist groups. The SPLC confirmed it is under federal investigation. In Congress, Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida resigned minutes before a House ethics panel was set to weigh her expulsion. Senate Republicans unveiled a $70 billion immigration plan aimed at circumventing Democrats to end the DHS shutdown. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer also stepped down amid an internal investigation.
美国司法部起诉南方贫困法律中心（SPLC），该国最知名的民权组织之一，指控其涉嫌欺诈，将超过300万美元输送给白人至上主义和极端主义团体。SPLC确认正在接受联邦调查。国会方面，佛罗里达州众议员谢拉·切尔菲卢斯-麦考密克在众议院道德委员会即将就其罢免进行表决前几分钟辞职。参议院共和党人公布了700亿美元的移民计划，旨在绕过民主党人结束国土安全部停摆。劳工部长洛里·查韦斯-德雷默也因内部调查辞职。
Geopolitics
President Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran, citing a "seriously fractured" Iranian government, but peace talks remain stalled and Trump has threatened further U.S. strikes if the deadline is not met. The geopolitical uncertainty is pushing gold and oil prices higher. In the UK, a political crisis deepened over the appointment of a new ambassador to the United States, with a fired official describing "pressure" to expedite the process, raising questions about PM Keir Starmer's judgment. In Mexico, two CIA officers were killed in an accident following an anti-drug operation, and a gunman attacked tourists at the ancient Teotihuacan pyramids near Mexico City, carrying materials related to the 1999 Columbine massacre.
特朗普总统延长了与伊朗的停火协议，称伊朗政府"严重分裂"，但和平谈判仍然停滞，特朗普威胁如果最后期限未达成，将对伊朗发动更多军事打击。地缘政治不确定性推动黄金和石油价格上涨。英国方面，围绕任命新任驻美大使的政治危机加深，一名被解职的官员描述了"加速"任命过程的压力，引发对首相斯塔默判断力的质疑。墨西哥方面，两名中央情报局官员在一次反毒品行动后遭遇事故身亡，墨西哥城附近的特奥蒂瓦坎金字塔发生枪手袭击游客事件，枪手携带了与1999年哥伦拜恩枪击案相关的材料。
Science & Technology
Apple announced that John Ternus, the 51-year-old hardware engineering chief and former swimming champion, will succeed Tim Cook as CEO, while Cook will transition to the role of Executive Chairman. In physics, researchers demonstrated that graphene can defy a fundamental law by allowing electrons to flow like a frictionless liquid, unlocking new quantum behavior that could revolutionize electronics. Northwestern University engineers successfully printed artificial neurons that generate lifelike electrical signals and communicate with living brain cells, marking a significant step toward brain-computer interfaces. Additionally, researchers found they can sculpt images onto crystals using only light, opening new possibilities for data storage.
苹果公司宣布，51岁的硬件工程负责人约翰·特努斯将接替蒂姆·库克担任首席执行官，库克将转任执行董事长。物理学领域，研究人员证明石墨烯可以违反基本物理定律，让电子像无摩擦液体一样流动，释放出可能彻底改变电子学的量子行为。西北大学工程师成功打印出能产生仿生电信号并可与活体脑细胞通信的人工神经元，这是脑机接口领域的重大进展。此外，研究人员发现仅用光就能在晶体上"雕刻"图像，为数据存储开辟了新可能。
Healthcare
The FDA approved Foundayo, a new oral GLP-1 receptor agonist pill similar to Wegovy, for weight loss — a major milestone as it offers a needle-free alternative for patients. In cancer research, scientists discovered a protein called HOXD13 that acts as a "master switch" driving skin cancer growth and helping melanoma evade the immune system, while another study found that Vitamin B7 (biotin) acts as a metabolic "license" for cancer cells, suggesting a new therapeutic target. Researchers also identified the natural hormone FGF21, which activates a brain circuit tied to metabolism and can reverse obesity in animal studies. A breakthrough blood test showed promise for predicting Alzheimer's disease progression years before brain scans can detect it, and a single blood sample could soon screen for multiple cancers including liver, lung, ovarian, and stomach cancer.
美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准了新型口服GLP-1受体激动剂药片Foundayo用于减重，这是一种与Wegovy类似的药物，为患者提供了无需注射的替代方案，是一个重要里程碑。癌症研究方面，科学家发现了一种名为HOXD13的蛋白质，它是驱动皮肤癌生长和帮助黑色素瘤逃避免疫系统的"总开关"；另一项研究发现维生素B7（生物素）充当癌细胞的代谢"许可证"，提示了新的治疗靶点。研究人员还鉴定出天然激素FGF21，该激素可激活与新陈代谢相关的脑回路，在动物实验中能够逆转肥胖。一项突破性血液检测显示出在脑扫描发现前数年预测阿尔茨海默病进展的潜力，单份血液样本未来有望筛查肝癌、肺癌、卵巢癌和胃癌等多种癌症。
