Freeman, Senior Managing Director of GlassRatner Consulting & Capital Group, pointed out that one of the primary tasks of Warsh, the newly nominated Federal Reserve Chair, will be rebuilding credibility in global markets. This is particularly important against the backdrop of strained relations between Trump and Powell over the past few months. Freeman also stated that Warsh is the best candidate, given his long experience in government. However, the best news is that we no longer have to deal with the uncertainty and market turmoil caused by Trumps constant pressure on the Fed Chair, which is good for everyone. Furthermore, he noted that the sharp drop in gold and the even more dramatic decline in silver indicate that the market is facing a stronger dollar and a different environment, especially for silver. Given this nomination, it would be unsurprising if metal prices do not rebound significantly. And given Warshs hawkish leanings, traders heavily invested in precious metals may face losses, especially those with unhedged or short positions. Some traders may find themselves in serious trouble next Monday, at least those who did not take a neutral stance or short precious metals.The U.S. Geological Survey reports a 5.3-magnitude earthquake 110 kilometers south of Akureyri, Iceland.

New FTX chief says bankrupt crypto exchange could restart

According to Chief Executive Officer John Ray, the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX is considering ways to resurrect its operations. He made the announcement to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.


According to Ray, who took over the company's leadership in November, a task group has been established to look at reviving FTX.com, the organization's primary international exchange.


The CEO also said in an interview with the Journal that he would research if resurrecting FTX's international exchange would generate more value for the company's clients than his team could get by simply selling the platform or liquidating its assets.


Following the news, FTT, the native token of FTX, increased by around 30%.


I'm relieved Mr. Ray is now only pledging to restart the exchange after months of blocking such attempts! Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of FTX, said in a tweet.


Bankman-Fried said, "I'm still waiting for him to eventually acknowledge FTX US is solvent and return clients' money.


An inquiry for comment from Reuters was not immediately answered by an attorney representing FTX.


Bankman-Fried is accused of robbing the exchange's users of billions of dollars to settle debts accrued by his cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund, Alameda Research. He's denied the allegations of fraud.


Customer money' future, however, is still unknown. In a note to creditors earlier this week, FTX said that since declaring bankruptcy in November, hackers had stolen nearly $415 million in cryptocurrency from its worldwide and American exchanges.
