"We are monitoring the situation and will remain on the sidelines," Hunt said at an industry event in Sydney on Tuesday. "The committee will formulate policy accordingly.

Economists generally predict the bank will cut interest rates for the fourth time this year in November, followed by another cut early next year, bringing the terminal rate to 3.1%.On September 16th, in response to a users question about whether the Macrohard project was being advanced, Musk replied, "We are indeed spray-painting the words MACROHARD on the roof of the Colossus II supercomputing cluster in Memphis, large enough to be seen from space." Musk had previously stated that he was planning to establish a pure AI software company called Macrohard. The name was a bit of a joke, but the project itself was real.

Economies.com analysts latest view today: WTI crude oil futures prices have risen in recent intraday trading, thanks to their stable trading above the 50-period exponential moving average (EMA50), which has provided effective support for the intraday rebound attempt. Nevertheless, the dominant downtrend remains in effect in the short term, and prices are trading along a suppressive trendline, which limits the upward momentum and weakens the possibility of a continued rebound. In addition, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has shown negative technical signs after reaching clear overbought territory, suggesting the risk of a short-term weakening of upward momentum.
