Federal Reserve's Harker: May Temporarily Hold Rates Steady

2025.02.08 00:32:20

February 8th: On this day, the US January seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls reached 143,000. This figure is significantly lower than the market's expected level of 170,000 and hits a new low since October of last year. Federal Reserve's Gullsby provided comments on the macro data, stating, "This is a rather robust non-farm payroll report. It appears that we are on the verge of achieving full employment. Based on recent observations, I am optimistic that tariffs will not ultimately pose a significant obstacle to trade. I am satisfied with the current economic development path. Tariffs may act as a 'wrench' in the supply chain. Wage growth is roughly in line with the 2% inflation level. Long-term market-oriented inflation expectations suggest that the market believes the Fed will be able to keep inflation under control at 2%." "Currently, the Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates unchanged. However, in the next 12 to 18 months, interest rates will be slightly lower than the current level. Under greater uncertainty, the pace of interest rate cuts will slow down. In the process of achieving the 2% inflation target, we may temporarily maintain interest rates unchanged. The neutral balance point for interest rates has decreased. Stable interest rates need to be achieved on a 'cautious' timetable. I do not think the Federal Reserve will be involved in any sovereign wealth fund." (Jin Shi)

Ansem on Shifting Mindsets Between Bull and Bear Markets: To Capture Maximum Profits in a Bull Market, You Have to Relearn to 'Dream'

Crypto trader Ansem says the hardest part of transitioning from a bear market to a bull market is that the strategies that helped you survive and profit in a bear market will end up losing you money in a bull market. If you’re still making money from short-term, high-frequency trading right now, that demonstrates strong trading skills. But to capture the largest gains of a bull market, you need to re-learn to "dream"—meaning daring to hold spot assets and embrace long-term positions. Ansem’s advice for those already profitable is to allocate a portion of their positions to long-term holdings, while using the remaining capital to continue short-term trading as usual. Meanwhile, Ansem once again posted to call for buying ZEC, stating that purchasing ZEC at $948 is equivalent to buying Bitcoin at $948. Per HTX market data, ZEC is currently trading at $948, with a 24-hour increase of over 16%.

28x surge in a single day! Apple-linked meme coin ICOIN crosses $5.5 million in market cap

According to GMGN market data, Robinhood Chain’s crypto-stock meme token ICOIN has hit a market cap of over $5.5 million, reaching a recent high and approaching its all-time peak of $5.8 million. The token has rallied more than 28 times in 24 hours, with a trading volume of $8.9 million. ICOIN is paired with tokenized U.S. stock Apple (AAPL). BlockBeats Note: Crypto-stock meme (Stock Meme) is an emerging concept merging traditional meme coins with tokenized U.S. stocks. Unlike standard meme coins paired with USDT or ETH, these tokens form trading pairs directly with on-chain U.S. stock tokens (e.g., NVDA, TSLA, AAPL). This model retains meme coins’ high volatility and community-driven speculative traits while leveraging real stocks’ popularity and narratives. A portion of transaction fees often flows back to the community treasury to accumulate corresponding U.S. stock tokens, creating a dual-driven framework of "sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring". Price volatility is significant; investors should exercise caution.

A portion of transaction fees often flows back to the community treasury to accumulate corresponding US stock tokens, forming a dual-driven model of "sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring".

Jiang Zhuoer recapped his trading operations: He bought 4,000 ETH at the $2,380 bottom, but closed his position too early, missing out on potential profits.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP (莱比特矿池), shared his recent trading operations, announcing he will no longer trade ETH perpetual contracts, citing excessive candlestick wicks that disrupt his trading mindset. For instance, he bought 4,000 ETH at $2,380 last night in a bottom-fishing move, originally setting a take-profit order at $2,493. However, a sharp candlestick wick pushed ETH down to $2,367 this morning, prompting him to decide to close his position once ETH rebounded to $2,403. ETH indeed rallied to his $2,493 take-profit target tonight. Crucially, BTC’s candlestick did not have such a wick. Going forward, he plans to use WBETH as margin, trade BTC perpetual contracts without leverage (maxing out at a full position), and hold all funds in ETH spot when not actively trading.

Oman Rejects Iran's Proposal to Impose Fees on the Strait of Hormuz

According to a New York Post report, Oman has quietly rejected Iran’s proposal to charge commercial vessels fees in the Strait of Hormuz. A regional official with knowledge of the matter stated that Oman refused to agree to collecting environmental and security fees, even if they were voluntary. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps’ earlier claim that the two sides had reached an agreement is untrue. A U.S. official noted that the terms of Iran’s proposed revenue-sharing agreement had not even been finalized by Tehran. Earlier, after Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi held talks in Tehran, Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesperson Hossein said the two countries had reached an agreement on the division of waters in the Strait of Hormuz and revenue sharing.
