Unipcs, also known as Bonk Guy, said on X that he had not fully researched the Arc ecosystem before publishing earlier Arc-related content and now believes it is more developed than he initially expected.

He said all Arc concept tokens he has bought have been transferred to his FOMO wallet, and he will not trade them before the integration feature goes live.

Foresight News posted on X (formerly Twitter). Trader @theunipcs, known as Bonk Guy, apologized for a previous post about Arc after drawing criticism, saying he had not researched the ecosystem deeply enough before publishing it. He said most of the criticism was justified. He added that he received no payment for the original post and was only sharing what he believed at the time was the most attractive platform. He said he now realizes Arc's ecosystem is more developed than he initially expected and is willing to speak with builders in the ecosystem and help increase the visibility of related projects. He also clarified that none of his activity on Arc has generated any profit so far. He said the tokens he previously bought have all been transferred to a FOMO wallet, and he will not use those assets until FOMO is connected to Arc.

Morgan Stanley strategists said on September 14 that if the Federal Reserve raises rates as expected this week, U.S. high-quality stocks could outperform the broader market. The team led by Michael Wilson said historical data show quality stocks usually do better after the first rate hike in a tightening cycle, while cyclical and momentum stocks also tend to outperform, according to Jiemian News. Morgan Stanley said the main driver of higher rates now is strong economic growth, rather than worsening fiscal sustainability or an unexpected jump in inflation. The team warned that if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and oil prices accelerate sharply, triggering an inflation shock, the current mildly “pre-emptive” policy adjustment could turn into a more prolonged rate-hike cycle.
