On January 12, Trump denied involvement in the Justice Departments subpoena of the Federal Reserve. Speaking about Fed Chairman Powell, he said, "I have no idea about it, but hes clearly not doing well at the Fed, and hes not good at managing construction projects." Trump stated that the Justice Department subpoena was unrelated to interest rates: "No, I would never even consider putting pressure on him that way. What should really be putting pressure on him is the fact that interest rates are too high; thats the only pressure hes under." He added, "Hes hurt a lot of people, and I think the public is putting pressure on him."Hong Kong-listed application software stocks continued their upward trend, with Weimob Group (02013.HK) rising nearly 17%, China Youzan (08083.HK) rising over 10%, and Kingdee International (00268.HK) and Inspur Digital Enterprise (00596.HK) following suit.According to Futures News on January 12, as of 09:30 Beijing time, WTI crude oil futures fell 0.05%, while US natural gas futures rose 2.08%.U.S. Republican Senator Tillis: If there were any doubts before that advisors within the Trump administration were actively pushing to end the independence of the Federal Reserve, there should be no doubt now.According to Qichacha APP, Beijing Qiaomu Media Technology Co., Ltd. was recently established with a registered capital of 100 million yuan.

This year, Rolls-Royce (OTC:RYCEY) will begin testing a prototype of its UltraFan engine, the largest turbofan in the world, which is up to 25 percent more efficient than its first-generation Trent engines.


UltraFan chief engineer Andrew Geer told reporters at Rolls' headquarters in Derby, central England, before the beginning of the Farnborough International Airshow on Monday that the demonstrator's fan had a diameter of 370 cm, the maximum size achievable for widebody aircraft.


He remarked that the technology may be scaled down for other applications, such as the return of the British aerospace industry to the market for narrowbody aircraft.


UltraFan will be "frozen" until testing is complete, with no more investment until Boeing (NYSE:BA) or Airbus launch a new aircraft program, UltraFan CEO Warren East told the Financial Times last year.


Geer noted that UltraFan was not a single engine, but rather a platform for several technologies, and that many of its innovations could be implemented into Rolls' existing programs.


It contains carbon titanium fan blades instead of the hollow titanium blades of prior Trents and a 64 megawatt power gearbox, which is a record.


He claimed that the first test flight will also use 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel from Air BP (NYSE:BP), which is derived from vegetable oils rather than fossil fuels.


Chris Cholerton, president of civil aerospace, remarked, "The suite of technologies we are testing aboard the demonstrator will introduce new capabilities for future propulsion systems and provide opportunities to enhance our current fleet."


In addition to improving the performance of gas turbines, Rolls is also exploring hydrogen and hybrid electric technologies to power commuter and regional aircraft.


Beginning in the middle of the 2030s, the company intends to perform rig and engine tests to demonstrate that hydrogen can safely and effectively power small to medium-sized aircraft.


Liquid hydrogen will be utilized to power an AE2100 engine for the first time this year, according to the business, and a test of a Pearl 15 engine will follow at an unspecified date.
