Bitcoin miner IREN unveils proposed $450 million convertible notes offering
Quick Take IREN announced its plans to raise $450 million via convertible senior notes, with a possibility to offer an additional $50 million. A part of the proceeds would be used to enter capped call transactions and prepaid forward transactions, the company said.

IREN shares closed up 1.45% at $10.49 on the Nasdaq on Tuesday, according to Google Finance data . The stock has remained nearly flat year-to-date, posting a 0.29% gain.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": The Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates next week, but a single rate hike won't solve the problem
Nick Timiraos from "The New Federal Reserve News Agency" recently wrote that investors have largely concluded that the Federal Reserve will make its first interest rate hike in three years next week, but the harder question is what will happen afterward. Since almost no one inside the Fed believes that a single 25 basis point rate hike is enough to bring down inflation, a decision to raise rates next week would reflect the judgment that rates were previously set at the wrong level, and a single hike cannot solve the problem. Since the 1990s, the Fed has only had one "one-time" rate hike.
