FED Harker's latest speech when keeping interest rates unchanged until spring, inflation is the top priority!
Federal Reserve official Harker just expressed a cautious view, supporting the pause in monetary policy easing in the near future.
⏸️ After three consecutive interest rate cuts at recent meetings, Mr. Harker stated that it is unnecessary to adjust interest rates in the coming months.
📅 The basic expectation is that interest rates will be maintained at the current level at least until Spring.
⚠️ Mr. Harker opposes recent rate cuts due to concerns about high inflation more than potential risks in the labor market. The view will only change when there is clear evidence of inflation decreasing toward the target or a severe weakening in the job market.
🗳️ Mr. Harker will become a voting member of the rate committee next year.

👉Circle plans to issue a native token for the Arc blockchain as Q3 profits soar
🚀The stablecoin issuer has considered gas fees calculated in stablecoin on Arc, but has a long-term goal of transitioning to decentralized governance. The stablecoin issuer Circle, the company behind the dollar-pegged stablecoin $USDC , is planning to issue a native token for the Layer 1 ARC blockchain testnet, an Ethereum virtual machine focused on enterprise. Circle launched the Arc testnet in October, with participation from investment bank Goldman Sachs, asset management company BlackRock, credit card company Visa, and over 100 other companies. The company revealed plans for the new token along with its earnings on Wednesday, initially planning to concentrate gas fees on the Arc network around USDC and other stablecoins.
🚀According to a statement, Circle's long-term goal is to transition Arc to a decentralized governance model with geographically distributed validators: "Circle is exploring the possibility of launching a native token on the Arc network, which could drive network participation to foster adoption, further aligning the interests of stakeholders with Arc, and supporting the long-term growth and success of the Arc network."

🧐 Explanation of the significance of the numbers 90% and 46% on Trump's tariff table with Vietnam
This morning, Donald Trump announced the retaliatory tariffs, with Vietnam facing tariffs of up to 46%, nearly the highest on the list. Many people mistakenly think that the 90% is due to Vietnam taxing the U.S., so the 46% response from the U.S. is reasonable.
The 90% figure is not actually due to Vietnam taxing American goods, but rather because Vietnam has a large trade surplus, mainly exporting goods to the U.S. without importing much from the U.S. to Vietnam.
For example:
- Vietnam's exports to the U.S.: 136.6 billion USD
- Imports from the U.S.: 13.1 billion USD
- Trade deficit: 123.5 billion USD
- Calculation: 123.5 / 136.6 = ~90%
- U.S. tariffs ~1/2 of 90% = 46%
This 46% rate is very burdensome, as the U.S. is Vietnam's largest export market, especially for items like textiles, electronics, footwear, and agricultural products.
I hope this 46% figure is intended to create an anchoring effect for negotiations to request Vietnam to import more goods from the U.S. If the 46% is maintained like this, FDI might completely withdraw from Vietnam 🥲.
He stated: “We can no longer continue to fund the deficits of Canada, Mexico, and other countries. Tariffs will bring jobs, factories, and lower prices for American consumers. Let’s start buying American goods!”
The financial market reacted negatively immediately to the news!!!
BINANCE SUSPENDS EMPLOYEE WITH INTERNAL TRADING BEHAVIOR
Binance Wallet has just announced the suspension of an employee for using insider information to purchase tokens before the TGE to gain illegal profits.
Binance has also pledged to cooperate legally with the authorities and reward $100,000 to 4 whistleblowers through its official channel.
I also suspected since the listing of NEIRO, PNUT, ACT, and considering it took this long to report, it's quite a lot 🤣
🧐 Has anyone noticed that since the Game King's command was issued, the price has been fluctuating around the entry of that command and then dropping? Even though it only needs to rise by a few hundred points to trigger that command, which the market has been continuously doing recently.
The story of "whose wallet is this" is being actively discussed by the X community, with many people suspecting that this is Trump’s wallet, which is why no one dares to touch it, however, there is still no data to prove this.
Coming up, there will be FOMC; if the command is still held until then and the FOMC news is favorable for this command, I think the market will be in an uproar due to suspicions of "insider trading" 😁.
Just over 1 month after Mr. Trump activated the trade war with tariffs on countries, how has the market been devastated?
• The US stock market has lost nearly 5000 billion dollars, with a record drop of 1700 billion today alone.
• Tesla's stock price has nearly halved from its peak, Elon Musk has lost nearly 150 billion 💵
• Total crypto market cap down 30% from 3600 billion to 2500, BTC is still above 75k while Altcoins have returned to the Stone Age, top ones have halved or tripled, shitcoins down 5x or 10x.
Elon lost 150 billion, so he still has 300 billion, while I’m left with just a bunch of vegetables :))
At this point, I guess I’ll turn myself into a green light; take care, everyone! 🙏
