📢 9:30 AM New York Time (4:30 PM Jordan Time)
A statement from the Chair of the US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, that interest rate cuts may be delayed due to inflation remaining above target levels, and that the US economy is still strong.

💵 Movement of the US Dollar Index (DXY)
Following the Federal Reserve's statements, the dollar index rose sharply, which typically puts pressure on the crypto market as it reduces the attractiveness of investing in it.
📊 Negative economic data from China
It was announced that China's industrial production growth declined more than expected, causing global concern about demand and emerging markets.
