On February 7th, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Thomas Jefferson stated that the central banks current interest rate stance is "perfectly suited" to a robust economic situation, indicating that he is in no hurry to resume the rate cuts that the Fed paused in January. Jefferson noted that although inflation has consistently exceeded the Feds 2% target, he expects the downward trend in inflation to resume later this year. He also estimates the overall economic condition to be good, with economic growth projected to reach approximately 2.2% by 2026. He stated, "I see some signs that the labor market is stabilizing, inflation is poised to return to our 2% target, and sustainable economic growth will continue." Jefferson noted that the three rate cuts implemented by the Fed between September and December of last year adjusted interest rates to a range of 3.5% to 3.75%—close to market expectations of a "neutral level," a level that neither stimulates nor inhibits the economy. He pointed out that this stance strikes a reasonable balance between the two major risks facing the central bank.February 7th - On the evening of February 6th local time, following the conclusion of the US-Iran nuclear negotiations, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi left Muscat, the capital of Oman.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, announced on Twitter on Sunday that he would appear before the House Financial Services Committee once he had "learned and reviewed" the circumstances surrounding his cryptocurrency exchange's spectacular collapse.


As part of its investigation into the demise of FTX, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee intends to hold a hearing in December. Participants are expected to testify, including founder and CEO Bankman-Fried.


Bankman-Fried was invited by Committee Chair Maxine Waters last week to take part in the panel's hearing on December 13.


The founder and former CEO of FTX replied to Waters, saying, "Once I have finished learning and reviewing what happened, I would feel like it was my duty to appear before the committee and explain."


Bankman-Fried added that he wasn't certain whether that would occur prior to December 13.

After his company's collapse stunned investors and left creditors facing losses totaling billions of dollars, he rejected claims of fraud in several interviews last week.


After a week in which a potential merger with rival cryptocurrency exchange Binance fell through, Bankman-Fried was accused of diverting customer deposits to FTX's associated trading firm Alameda Research, and the exchange saw withdrawals of about $6 billion in just 72 hours, FTX declared bankruptcy in November.
