The China Earthquake Networks Center automatically determined that an earthquake of approximately magnitude 3.0 occurred near Li County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province (31.53°N, 103.30°E) at 14:53 on September 14. The final result is subject to the official rapid report.September 14th - Data center provider Firmus Technologies Pty is seeking to raise up to $5 billion in its Australian initial public offering (IPO). Sources familiar with the matter say the provider aims to list by the end of October. Discussions are ongoing, and details of the offering, including size and timing, are subject to change, according to sources. Compiled data suggests the deal would be one of the largest IPOs in Australian history, comparable to Medibank Pvts 2014 offering, which raised just under $5 billion. This would be a welcome boost to the countrys primary market, which has raised just over $1 billion so far this year, compared to over $2 billion annually in the previous two years. The Australian company has already signed contracts with several major US technology companies prior to the listing, including an agreement with OpenAI to provide computing power from two data center sites in Malaysia.On September 14th, Nikkei reported that US AI giant OpenAI is open to training its models in Australia, with a senior executive stating that negotiations are underway regarding issues such as copyright protection.

Prime Minister Albanese announced plans in July to legislate "national standards," stating that these rules will seek to ensure that companies using Australian creators data respect copyright protection. Ann OLeary, OpenAIs Vice President of Global Policy, stated at an event hosted by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in Canberra that the company supports the governments approach and is interested in training its models in Australia.Crude oil futures contracts saw a short-term pullback, with SC crude oils intraday gains narrowing to 9.98%, currently trading at 890.7 yuan/barrel.

BTC Fear & Greed Index Falls to 31 as Investor Focus Shifts to the Fed

Bitcoin (BTC) decreased by 0.89% on Sunday. BTC concluded the week up 5.42% to $20,647, partially undoing a Saturday gain of 1.08%. Notably, BTC avoided trading below $20,000 for the fifth day in a row and ended the day above $20,000 for the sixth straight session.


After a choppy morning, BTC increased to a high of $20,950 in the middle of the trading day. A late low of $20,532 was reached by BTC as it failed to reach the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $21,091. Before partially regaining its footing to reach $20,647, BTC momentarily breached the First Major Support Level (S1) at $20,576.


In anticipation of a busy week for the global financial markets, investors had a calm day to lock in gains. The Fed announces its decision on interest rates this coming Wednesday. The Fed's intentions for December remain unclear, despite the markets' bets for a 75-basis point rate increase.


The bullish week was fueled by anticipation of a Fed turnaround in December. The markets, however, could see investor concern prior to the Wednesday decision. The sensitivity of the cryptocurrency market to US economic data and the Fed maintains the BTC link with the NASDAQ 100.


The NASDAQ 100 Mini was down 56.75 points this morning, pushing BTC into negative territory.

Investor caution increases ahead of the Fed, causing the Fear & Greed Index to decline.


The Fear & Greed Index dropped from 34/100 to 31/100 this morning. Investor apprehension ahead of the FOMC interest rate decision and press conference on Wednesday is reflected in the decline. A return of the Index to the Neutral area would be supported by confirmation of the Fed's shift in December.


As investors wait for the Fed to announce its policy, US economic statistics will continue to be the major focus in the near term. Prior to Wednesday's decision, important statistics include JOLTs job postings, ADP nonfarm employment, and ISM Manufacturing PMI data.


To support a reversal of the negative trend in BTC, the Index will need to hit 40/100 and the neutral zone. A decline to below 20/100 would indicate a BTC decline to below $18,000.
