The Federal Reserve rarely delivers one-off interest rate increases. When the US central bank raised interest rates for the first time in three years, it left Fed chairman Kevin Warsh facing a question: Are more rate rises to come? “I'm not going to prejudge any future decisions we make,” he told reporters. Updated forecasts released by the Federal Open Market Committee alongside its policy decision showed a large majority of policymakers are indicating one more rate increase this year. Traders anticipate the Fed to raise rates again in December after holding steady next month, according to CME Group data. “The key question from here is no longer whether the Fed is willing to hike, but how far it will ultimately need to go,” said Noureldeen Al Hammoury, chief market strategist at Equiti Group. “If inflation continues to surprise to the upside, the current 'dot plot' may prove to be a floor rather than a ceiling for the tightening cycle.” The dot plot refers to the quarterly projection the Fed releases that shows where each of the 19 members on the Federal Open Market Committee believe interest rates could go in the short term. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury rose more than 2 basis points to 5.025 per cent after Mr Warsh's post-meeting news conference. The two-year Treasury note yield, which closely tracks future Fed decisions, rose more than seven basis points to 4.74 per cent. Yields and prices move in opposite directions. The Federal Reserve's most recent major rate-rising cycle occurred in 2022 to combat increasing inflation from an energy shock after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, post-Covid supply chain bottlenecks and the fiscal stimulus to support household income during the pandemic. Inflation at the time had peaked to more than nine per cent, and the Fed raised interest rates from near nil to the range of between 5.25 and 5.5 per cent during a period of about two years. Fed officials have yet to bring inflation back down to their long-term 2 per cent target, and energy-driven supply shocks caused by the Iran war are bringing in new price pressures. The central bank typically “looks through” energy-driven inflation on the assumption that the rising costs are only temporary, but oil's return to $100 a barrel and increased government borrowing led policymakers to vote 12-0 in raising interest rates on Wednesday. Michael Pearce, chief US economist at Oxford Economics, said the latest decision was the Fed exercising risk management rather than a new series of tightening measures. “We don’t think this is the beginning of another major tightening cycle and markets have too much tightening priced in over the coming year,” Mr Pearce wrote. The updated Fed projections showed that while officials expect a higher-for-longer policy posture, they do not anticipate further rate increases next year before bringing the federal funds rate down to 3.9 per cent in 2028 and 3.6 per cent in 2029. However, the Fed's dot plot should be viewed with a healthy dose of scepticism. It shows each individual FOMC member's most educated guess and does not guarantee the direction of future policy. Critics argue it has a poor track record and can mislead markets. Art Hogan, chief strategist at B Riley Wealth, said a resolution to the Iran war would solve a major piece of the Fed's puzzle. At the same time, he pointed to the Fed forecasting higher inflation (3.7 per cent) while also anticipating higher rates. "This is one of multiple rate hikes until we get to something that is at least neutral or less accomodative," he said. Mr Warsh, an opponent of the dot plot, disclosed that he did not submit his own projection this week. He also refrained from doing so in June. The man charged with steering the Fed's rate-setting committee has adopted a communications strategy that involves giving markets few indicators on where he intends to go. “I'm not into the forward-guiding business,” Mr Warsh said.来源 5

原文位置 328–715
The collapse was initially thought to have been caused by an earthquake. Now, glaciologists and climate scientists have determined that a complex series of factors led to the disaster, with climate change laying the groundwork several times over: Warming temperatures receded the glacier, thawed permafrost and increased meltwater, destabilizing the slope until it gave way on August 26.来源 2
原文位置 2600–2842
Near the failure site, the glacier's edge had retreated just 75 meters between 1964 and 2000. But between 2010 and 2026, it dramatically accelerated, retreating another 373 meters. That stripped away the ice supporting the rock wall above it.来源 2

Permafrost — or permanently frozen ground within the rock — had also started to thaw. That took place between 4,500 and 5,500 meters of elevation, a critical band that's most sensitive to warming. As it thawed, the mountain walls became more and more unstable.来源 2

“Our planet-formation models already struggled to explain the previous record holders for the youngest known planet — a four-way tie between two planets orbiting the star PDS 70 and two planets orbiting the star WISPIT 2 — which are all more than 5 million years old,” said Lucas Cieza, a professor at the Instituto de Estudios Astrofísicos in Chile and co-author of a paper detailing the results. “Elias 2-24 b shows us that even our best planet-formation models are still missing some important processes.”来源 1

The planet orbiting the star Elias 2-24 is about as massive as Jupiter and the star is about 450 light-years from Earth. Studying this system offers a time machine of sorts for scientists to explore what our own planetary system may have been like billions of years ago.来源 1

So Bernardi’s team searched the Keck Observatory Archive, a NASA-funded partnership between Keck Observatory and the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute at Caltech/IPAC, for the same little point of light again and found it in observations from 2018 and 2020. They stitched the observations together to analyze its motion over time and found that it behaved more like a planet than an imaging defect or background star, ultimately confirming it as Elias 2-24 b.来源 1

“We’re now estimating the size of the movement of Earth’s mass center back and forth each year to be about half of what we believed it to be eight years ago,” said Argus. “Our findings suggest that the mass of Earth’s water and air moving between the hemisphere is smaller than previously thought.”来源 1

Felix Landerer, one of the study’s coauthors at JPL, noted that “while these movements might appear tiny, our modern world relies on extremely accurate positioning measurements. By unraveling and understanding the mechanisms that change reference systems, we can build better reference systems that ultimately benefit mapping and navigation — from global shipping logistics to precision agriculture.”来源 1
