On January 31st, Peter Cardillo, Chief Market Strategist at Spartan Capital Securities, stated, "I dont want to say that Warshs nomination as the new Federal Reserve Chairman was entirely unexpected. 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.According to Interfax news agency, production at Kazakhstans Tengiz oil field has resumed.On January 31st, the Institute of Finance and Banking of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences released its "China Macroeconomic and Financial Analysis" report for the fourth quarter of 2025, which pointed out that in 2026, my countrys economic policy orientation will shift from "strengthening unconventional counter-cyclical adjustments" to "increasing the intensity of counter-cyclical and cross-cyclical adjustments." The macroeconomic and financial analysis team of the Institute of Finance and Banking of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences believes that in 2026, it is necessary to adhere to both policy support and reform and innovation, and to coordinate short-term macroeconomic control with medium- and long-term reform and governance. To this end, they propose three suggestions: First, fiscal and financial efforts should be coordinated to effectively unleash the potential of domestic demand; second, high-quality urban renewal should be used as a lever to stabilize investment; and third, innovative approaches to macroeconomic governance should be adopted to accelerate the repair of the balance sheets of micro-entities.

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.
