"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.

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. At the time, he also explained, "Given that software companies like Microsoft dont produce physical hardware themselves, it should be feasible to fully simulate it using AI."SK On announced on September 16th the completion of a pilot plant for all-solid-state batteries at its Future Technology Center in Yucheng District, Daejeon, South Korea.

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.

The top ten cryptocurrency index had a negative afternoon on Tuesday. The top ten entered the red with ADA's help. Bitcoin fell below $24,000 for the fourth straight session during the negative session.


Even though February's consumer confidence figures were lower than anticipated, US economic measures came up short. From 106.0 to 102.9, the CB Consumer Sentiment Index decreased.


With the S&P/CS HPI Index - 20 n.s.a increasing by 4.6% year over year in December, housing industry statistics also sent a negative indication. November saw a 6.8% increase in the Index. High US mortgage rates had an impact on demand, which slowed the increase in home prices.


To end a negative month, the NASDAQ Composite Index decreased by 0.10 percent on Tuesday. Investor mood was still being affected by the possibility of a higher for extended Fed interest rate trend. The NASDAQ mini was down 36.25 points this morning.


News about the cryptocurrency market, however, heightened the pessimism. Regulation action kept grabbing people's interest. Alarm alarms went off when it was reported that the SEC had subpoenaed Robinhood (HOOD). Moreover, there were reports that Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA) would rethink their plans for cryptocurrency.


The Day Ahead Buyers should keep an eye on the cryptocurrency news channels for any regulation developments and US lawmakers' conversations. Updates on Binance and FTX as well as information from the current SEC v. Ripple lawsuit need to be taken into account.


Interest in economic signs will also be high. Prior to the US session, China's private sector PMIs will have an impact. We anticipate that China's poor economic data will rekindle recessionary worries and test investors' desire for risky assets.


The NASDAQ Composite Index and US economic data will have an impact on the midday session. The February US industrial PMI figures will be closely watched. It would be negative if the ISM Manufacturing PMI unexpectedly dropped. However, buyers should also keep an eye on the FOMC members' daily conversations.
