This figure represents the largest monthly inflow since <strong>2022<\/strong>, signaling strong overseas demand for American financial assets. The surge in investment was particularly notable in U.S. equities, which saw <strong>net inflows of $114.3 billion<\/strong> after an outflow in April, while foreign investors also bought <strong>$146 billion in Treasuries<\/strong>, reversing a previous outflow.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market has achieved a historic milestone, with its total market capitalization exceeding <strong>$4 trillion<\/strong> for the first time. This unprecedented valuation underscores the growing mainstream acceptance and institutional interest in digital assets. The rally has been fueled by a surge in altcoins and recent regulatory clarity from Washington, including the passage of key crypto bills in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The flight, <strong>DL446<\/strong>, was bound for Atlanta when the incident occurred. Emergency crews were on standby, and no injuries were reported among passengers or crew. The Federal Aviation Administration (<strong>FAA<\/strong>) has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the engine fire, marking the second such incident involving a Delta aircraft this year. The aircraft involved was a 24-year-old <strong>Boeing 767-400<\/strong> equipped with <strong>General Electric CF6 engines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key
