  • ‘No damage recorded’ authorities said

  • Missiles intercepted south of Riyadh

Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura oil refinery was targeted in a drone attack by Iran on Wednesday, the defence ministry has confirmed.

“The refinery was targeted in an attempted drone attack, with no damage recorded and no disruption to supplies,” the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported, quoting spokesperson Major General Turki Al-Maliki.

The refinery in Saudi Arabia’s eastern province was damaged by debris from two intercepted drones that landed on the facility on Monday.

Ras Tanura, one of nine refineries in the kingdom, is part of an energy complex owned by Saudi Aramco. The refinery has a capacity of 550,000 barrels per day.

In a separate statement, Al-Maliki said that two cruise missiles were intercepted and destroyed in Al-Kharj governorate, located 80km southeast of Riyadh.

On Monday, Abu Dhabi authorities contained a fire resulting from a drone attack at the Mussafah fuel tank terminal, the UAE’s state news agency Wam reported.

On Tuesday, the UAE Ministry of Defence said it had intercepted 172 ballistic missiles, eight cruise missiles and 755 drones so far, reporting limited major damage. 

However, debris has caused significant disruption around important sites, including airports and ports.

The UAE spent an estimated $1 billion a day shooting down drones and missiles in the first 48 hours of the conflict, according to analysts.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
