"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. While its impossible to predict the future completely, for now we want to maintain the status quo." The RBA will hold its next meeting on September 29-30, and most economists and traders expect it to maintain the cash rate at 3.6%. Economists generally predict the bank will cut interest rates for the fourth time this year in November, followed by another cut early next year, bringing the terminal rate to 3.1%.On September 16th, in response to a users question about whether the Macrohard project was being advanced, Musk replied, "We are indeed spray-painting the words MACROHARD on the roof of the Colossus II supercomputing cluster in Memphis, large enough to be seen from space." 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.

SK On plans to commercialize all-solid-state batteries in 2029, a year ahead of its original target of 2030.Futures News, September 16th. 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.

Bitcoin Drops as Wall Street Shares Tumble

On Monday, bitcoin fell to its lowest level since July 2021, falling in lockstep with sagging US stock markets on fears about the Federal Reserve's aggressive tightening policy.


Bitcoin, the world's most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization, fell to $30,331.28 for the fifth straight session. Bitcoin was last trading at $30,724, down 9.8%.


Bitcoin has lost over half its value since reaching an all-time high of $69,000 in November last year, falling 19 percent in May.


The S&P 500 index fell to its lowest level since April 2021 on Monday, owing to falls in mega-cap growth stocks. The Nasdaq was down more than 3%, while Apple shares were down more than 3% and were the Nasdaq and S&P 500's greatest drag.


"Volatility in the market arises from speculation," according to Alex Miller, CEO of Hiro. And since bitcoin is so speculative, its price, as well as that of the rest of the crypto market, is falling in tandem with the broader markets."


Hiro creates developer tools for Stacks, the bitcoin network that powers apps and smart contracts.

Ether, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency and the basis for the Ethereum blockchain, has dropped to its lowest level since late January.


"The most essential thing to do to prepare for bear markets is to keep your portfolio balanced and not overinvest in assets that you can't afford to wait out a crypto winter with," Miller added. "Holding long-term assets like bitcoin, or even increasing your stake if you're set up to do so, is the smartest thing you can do, as we've seen from every downturn ever."


Despite bitcoin's price decline, funds and products related to it received $45 million in inflows last week, according to a report issued on Monday by digital asset management Coinshares.


Investors took advantage of bitcoin's price falls, according to CoinShares investment manager James Butterfill.


According to the CoinShares report, the crypto industry as a whole received $40 million in inflows.


Other causes in bitcoin's decrease, according to Matt Dibb, chief operating officer of crypto platform Stack Funds, occurred during the weekend amid the crypto market's infamously low liquidity.


There were also concerns, according to Dibb, that the algorithmic stablecoin Terra USD (UST) would lose its linkage to the dollar.


Stablecoins are digital currencies that are linked to conventional assets, most often the US dollar.


UST is being keenly followed for its unusual method of maintaining a 1:1 dollar peg, as well as its creators' ambitions to construct a $10 billion bitcoin reserve to support the stablecoin, implying that UST volatility might possibly leak over into bitcoin markets.
