He has always been considered hawkish, but recently he seems to be converging with Trumps position, making it a bit difficult to assess how the market will accept this nomination. We just need to see if he will be influenced by the White House. My guess is that he wont; he will examine issues very carefully and maintain a certain balance on inflation and the labor market. He may not be as decisive as Powell, but he wont be too far off."On January 31, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held its 24th collective study session on the afternoon of January 30, focusing on forward-looking planning and the development of future industries.

According to NASAs website, the demonstration mission, led by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, took place on December 8 and 10, 2025. The mission team used generative artificial intelligence with visual understanding capabilities to analyze high-resolution images taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and data on terrain and slope, identifying key terrain features such as rocks, sand ripples, and boulder deposits. This generated a continuous route with multiple path nodes, helping Perseverance safely traverse complex terrain. Previously, this work was primarily done by ground engineers. Perseverance stored the AI-generated path nodes in its memory and traveled approximately 210 meters on December 8 and another 246 meters two days later.

As a result of dismal Australian Employment data, the AUD/USD exchange rate falls further to about 0.69

The AUD/USD pair has continued its slide to near 0.6900 after the Australian Bureau of Statistics published weaker-than-anticipated Employment (Dec) data. Contrary to market expectations, the Australian labor market has laid off 14,600 workers. The market had anticipated an increase of 22,500 employment. In addition, the Unemployment Rate has risen to 3.5%, exceeding both expectations and the prior estimate of 3.4%.

 

The growing unemployment rate will provide some relief to the Reserve Bank of Australia, although being destructive to the Australian economy (RBA). In an effort to address chronic inflation, Governor Philip Lowe of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has raised the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 3.10 percent, which looks to have begun negatively impacting the labor market.

 

The Australian Property Investor (API) reported on Wednesday, "Despite the pain felt by homeowners attempting to meet mortgage repayments, recent buyers staring into the abyss of negative equity, and property prices falling at the fastest rate on record, it seems unlikely that rate hikes will abate soon." They noted that the increase in interest rates was the result of the 11.4% growth in household spending in November.

 

Worsening employment figures and a decrease in perceived risk appetite have damaged the Australian Dollar. As S&P500 futures have resumed their drop, investors' appetite for risk has diminished further following Wednesday's disastrous performance. The yields on U.S. Treasuries are supported by the concept of risk aversion gaining ground. The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds has surpassed 3.38 percent once again.
