The drop in the crypto market follows a broad sell-off in tech stocks; precious metals also continue to be volatile, with silver dropping on Thursday and gold under pressure.

Fed’s Hammack Backs Restrictive Policy Over Fed Rate Cuts

The post Fed’s Hammack Backs Restrictive Policy Over Fed Rate Cuts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

She explained that both headline and main price levels are still above target, with little evidence of near-term relief.
