The U.S. Department of Defense released 40 UFO-related documents on the 10th. This is the fourth batch of such documents released by the DoD since May this year, as required by President Trump. The batch consists of 14 documents, 19 videos, 4 audio clips and 3 images, sourced from multiple U.S. government agencies including the Department of Defense, NASA, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Energy. Around half of the files date back to after 2010. Some videos were captured by U.S. military infrared sensors, featuring heavy graininess and blurry quality, but a video shot in 2020 is regarded by some U.S. media as "the clearest footage so far" among the related documents. The 32-second video was provided by U.S. Northern Command. A text report attached to the video is heavily redacted. A U.S. Navy weapons systems operator stated in the report that the object was spotted over the Atlantic Ocean, describing it as "dark, maroon in color, about 12 to 15 feet (3.7 to 4.6 meters) high." "Structurally, it looked like a somewhat deformed weather balloon. When we flew past it, we couldn't confirm what it was... We then moved on, returned to the ship, and landed safely."

As of July 9, data compiled from mainstream centralized exchange (CEX) current-account wealth management and earning products shows that stablecoin current yields vary across platforms including HTX, Binance, OKX, and Bitget, with most products adopting a tiered interest model of "high returns for small amounts, reduced rates for excess amounts". For USDT products: HTX offers the highest annual percentage yield (APY) at 10% for the 0–200 USDT tier; Bitget’s 0–300 USDT tier yields 6.31%, Binance’s 0–200 USDT tier is 4.47%, and OKX’s is 1.57%. Once exceeding the respective thresholds, HTX, Binance, and Bitget’s APYs drop to 1.95%, 1.47%, and 1.65% respectively. For USDC products: Binance’s 0–200 USDC tier has an APY of 6.76%, Bitget’s 0–300 USDC tier is 6.66%, HTX’s is 3.00%, and OKX’s is 1.74%. Additionally, HTX’s USDE current products offer an APY of 5% for the 0–1000 tier and 3% for amounts over 1000; Binance’s is 3.75%, Bitget’s is 3.64%. The USDD current product is currently only offered by HTX, with a listed APY of 4.00%. Overall, high returns on CEX stablecoin current products are mostly concentrated in small tiers, with yields for large amounts dropping significantly. When comparing products, users should not only consider nominal APYs but also pay attention to tier limits, supported currencies, platform rules, and product availability.

Deutsche Bank noted that after several weeks of relatively sparse remarks from Federal Reserve officials, a flurry of speeches ahead of the pre-meeting blackout period is coming next week. The most notable events include: Fed Governor Christopher Waller kicking off the week with a speech at the New York Association for Business Economics on Monday; Fed Chair Jerome Powell testifying on Tuesday and Wednesday; and several officials delivering outlooks after the release of June CPI data – Cook on Wednesday, Vice Chair Philip Jefferson, Lorie Logan of the Dallas Fed, and Schmid of the Kansas City Fed on Friday. Powell is expected to reiterate his recent stance of remaining non-committal on future policy moves. Waller, meanwhile, is typically more willing to elaborate on his policy reaction framework and outlook, so his speech will be closely watched for any signals about his policy leaning. For the outlook speeches, the market is focused on how officials interpret this week’s inflation data and whether any are leaning toward a rate hike in July. As shown in the June meeting minutes, “several” officials saw justification for a rate hike last month. Since then, the landscape has been mixed: oil prices and inflation expectations dipped before partially rebounding, while the unemployment rate fell further, raising the possibility of a dissenting vote in favor of a rate hike at the July meeting.
