The Peoples Bank of China authorized the National Interbank Funding Center to announce on August 20th that the 1-year LPR was 3.0%, and the LPR for maturities of 5 years or more was 3.5%. Analysts believe that considering the current policy interest rates and banks net interest margins, the LPR remaining unchanged is in line with expectations. Since late July, the DR (Deposit-taking Financial Institutions Bond Repurchase Rate) benchmark lending rate has been continuously implemented, and the efficiency of LPR quotations is expected to further improve in the future.August 21st - The UKs GfK consumer confidence index for August was -14, the highest level since August 2024, as continued sunny weather helped consumer sentiment gradually recover from the slump triggered by the Middle East wars. Neil Bellamy, GfKs head of consumer insights, said the good weather and the "Burnham effect" brought about by the new prime minister continued to have a positive impact on consumer confidence. In July, these factors drove UK consumer confidence up by 6 points. However, he added that a challenging period still lies ahead. As we saw when Keir Starmer came to power, the "honeymoon period" may be very short-lived. With inflation rising again... and continued uncertainty in the Middle East and elsewhere, many challenges remain to test the resilience of British consumers.

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.
