Delayed, Again, When Will It Ever Come Despite being delayed again Vitalik Buterin says ETH 2.0 is still on track to begin launching in 2020. I say begin launching because even the upgrade, more than three years in coming, will take at least three phases. The first phase, slated for later this year, is called […]
Man What A Jobs Number! The NFP figure was released today and boy was it ever a big one. The headline figure came in at 4.8 million and well above the consensus figure. When you add in the revisions to previous months the figure is closer to 4.9 million and just shy of the 5 […]
Oil Markets Are Rising The oil price war and COVID-19 pandemic certainly put a hurting on the oil markets.
