February 3rd - According to foreign media reports, the European Union will propose a partnership with the United States to establish key mineral resources. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the EU is prepared to sign a memorandum of understanding with the US within three months, outlining a "strategic partnership roadmap" aimed at jointly exploring supply channels for key minerals. The memorandum of understanding recommends that the EU and the US explore joint key mineral projects and study price support mechanisms, while also suggesting measures to prevent external mineral oversupply and other forms of market shocks. The EU memorandum of understanding mentions the possibility of establishing key mineral reserves, which is also a key focus for Trump. The proposal also points out that both sides should establish secure supply chain systems between them. Notably, the EU proposal also emphasizes that both sides should respect each others territorial integrity.

The nomination appears to have eased market concerns about a potential threat to the Feds independence and prompted a partial reversal of the political risk premium previously priced into the dollar. He pointed out that the dollar sell-off in late January was primarily driven by political risks stemming from the unpredictability of US policy. Therefore, the easing of short-term political uncertainty could "restore the dollars correlation with fundamentals and create a tactical window for a dollar rebound."A Republican caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives accused Big Tech companies of conducting censorship in order to comply with European Union requirements.U.S. Trade Representative Greer: The Supreme Court tariff case is not an “obvious” outcome for the plaintiffs; the stakes in the tariff case are extremely high.U.S. Redbook retail sales annualized at 6.7% for the week ending January 30, compared with 7.1% previously.

Crypto lender Celsius defends bitcoin mining plans as bankruptcy kicks off

Bitcoin mining is essential to the company's reorganization efforts, according to cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network, who made the statement during a Manhattan bankruptcy court hearing on Monday.


headquartered in New Jersey U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn gave Celsius permission to spend $3.7 million on building a new bitcoin mining facility and $1.5 million on customs and fees on incoming bitcoin mining equipment.


The firm, which stopped other commercial activities including its cryptocurrency loans, might find a method to pay back consumers whose funds it had frozen in the weeks before to declaring bankruptcy, according to Patrick Nash, a lawyer representing Celsius.


The mining industry "has the potential to be pretty profitable in a scenario where the crypto market recovers," Nash said.


On July 13, Celsius declared bankruptcy, citing a $1.19 billion balance sheet shortfall. Following a significant cryptocurrency market sell-off caused by the May collapse of prominent coins terraUSD and luna, the business model of crypto lenders came under criticism.


Due to the significant volatility, Celsius' assets decreased, and its decision to freeze client accounts was an effort to reduce losses and stabilize its operations, according to Nash.


In the weeks leading up to the Chapter 11 filing, some customers threatened and sent hate mail to a few firm workers. Celsius is hoping that the mining endeavor will help it mend those relationships.


However, a group of equity investors hinted to a potential conflict over ownership of the bitcoin mining businesses. According to Dennis Dunne, the investors' attorney, they can argue that the freshly created currencies need to be given to all Celsius creditors rather than deemed the property of the UK company that acquired the money for the mining activity.


Customers could complain to Celsius' expenditure on bitcoin mining companies at a time when their own financial recovery is in question, according to the bankruptcy monitor of the U.S. Department of Justice.
