Mayon Volcano logs 133 rockfalls, 30 pyroclastic density currents, says PHIVOLCS

A total of 133 rockfall events and 30 pyroclastic density currents (PDC), locally known as “uson,” were recorded at Mayon Volcano in Albay over the past 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported on Monday.

Lava dome formation and lava flow effusion were also observed during the same monitoring period, PHIVOLCS said. This indicates a slow extrusion of thick molten lava that accumulates near the crater before moving down the volcano’s slopes.

Meanwhile, the volcano emitted 526 tons of sulfur dioxide and a moderate volcanic plume rising about 800 meters above the crater.

Ground deformation measurements also indicate swelling of the volcano, PHIVOLCS added.

Mayon, the country’s most active volcano, remains at Alert Level 3 since January 6 due to heightened activity, notably the magmatic eruptions on its lava dome.

The state volcanologist continues to caution nearby residents to avoid the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone amid hazards such as rockfalls, PDCs, and ballistic fragments. — Edg Adrian A. Eva

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
