▌There is a contrarian bet in the market: the Fed’s next move will be to raise interest rates rather than cut them

The Fed’s next move will be to raise interest rates, and Not a rate cut, which currently looks like a slim hope at best, but the idea has emerged among a group of die-hard bond traders. The bet comes after a blowout U.S. jobs report on January 10, contrasting with Wall Street's consensus for at least one interest rate cut this year. Although Wednesday's benign inflation report reinforced the Fed's interest rate cutsstance and caused U.S. Treasury yields to retreat from multi-year highs, but the contrarian bet remains. An agency analysis showed traders now see a roughly 25% chance the Fed will raise interest rates before the end of the year, based on options tied to the secured overnight funding rate. Before the CPI data was released, these bets were as high as 30%. And until just over a week ago, raising interest rates had not even been considered. Phil Suttle, a former economist at the New York Fed who expects the Fed to raise interest rates in September, said: "This is not a crazy view." (Golden Ten Data)

▌What is a teardrop attack in encryption?

In the cryptocurrency environment, teardrop attacks often target the decentralized nature of blockchain platforms. Even if they don’t target the blockchain’s cryptographic algorithms, disrupting the underlying peer-to-peer network infrastructure that cryptocurrencies rely on could lead to service disruptions, loss of funds, and loss of user trust. Attackers can interfere with the consensus process, transaction validation, or node-to-node communications by focusing on specific nodes or servers. This can lead to network fragmentation, processing delays or even complete outages.
