SpaceX launched another 49 Starlink satellites

It's been a busy January! No better way to start the New Year.
SpaceX launched another batch of 49 Starlink satellites to orbit aboard a flight-proven Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center (KSC).
This was the third mission for SpaceX in 2022, as the company had already launched the Starlink Group 4-5 and Transporter-3 missions this month.
In addition, this mission marked a quick turnaround for LC-39A, as Starlink Group 4-5 also launched from the same pad on January 6.

Eurasian alliance plans its own gold standard

Towards the end of July, news emerged in the Russian media that Moscow and a number of its Eurasian allies are now reviewing a proposal to create an entirely new trading and pricing infrastructure for the international precious metals in order to both destroy London and New York's monopoly over global precious metals pricing and to stabilize the Russian gold market.
The basis of this new structure will be a new, specialized international precious metals brokerage headquartered in Moscow, which will rely on the MWS.
Russia is also proposing to fix prices of precious metals in the national currencies of key member countries or via a new monetary unit - such as the new BRICS currency proposed by Putin.
The price-fixing committee would include central banks and other large banks from the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU).
Member states of the EEU are Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia.
The idea would be to make membership attractive to big gold players like China, India, Venezuela, Peru, and other South American countries.

The Art of the Deal for Prosperity

Stocks soar as President Donald Trump announces a 90-day pause on tariffs, putting the operation on hold-perhaps a master test in play-while simultaneously raising the tariff rate for China to 125%, effective immediately.
Trump signaled his intent to help the world ahead of the move, declaring on social media: 'This is a great time to buy!' - DJT.
Trump acted as one of the greatest market influencers of our time, with a move that suggests genuine intent to benefit the world. His actions reflect a clear concern for the well-being of the people.
President Trump: China "wants to make a deal" and is in the process of "figuring it out."
Trump orchestrated this operation to test his partners and see who he can truly rely on under the pressure of trade negotiations.
Bill Ackman: 'tariffs' move "brilliantly executed," as in the "textbook, Art of the Deal".

Basel III endgame strikes the Federal Reserve

U.S. Federal Reserve officials, led by Fed Vice Chair Michael Barr, are exploring changes to the 'Basel III endgame' overhaul for bank capital regulations.
This includes reconsidering operational risk calculations and potential offsets for mortgage servicing.
It marks a significant shift as the Fed acknowledges concerns from the banking industry about the policy's impact on lending.
Here is Michael Barr's statement:
'We want to make sure that the rule supports a vibrant economy that supports low - and moderate-income communities, that gets the calibration right upon things like mortgages.
So the public comment that we're getting on this is really critical for us getting it right. We take it very, very seriously.
That program was really designed in that emergency situation. It was designed for that emergency to say, we want to make sure that banks and creditors of banks and depositors banks understand that banks have the liquidity they need.'
