What happened
NVIDIA's latest earnings have come in above market expectations, underscoring that the AI computing power boom is still running at a high level.
Separately, the world's first LPDDR6 mass production has started in China, a collaboration between ChangXin and Xiaomi that marks a new chapter for the AI era.
In parallel, Taiwan now has almost all the conditions needed for an interest rate increase.
Why it matters
The combination of NVIDIA's earnings beat and the debut of LPDDR6 mass production points to a still-frantic pace of AI investment and hardware innovation.
The same economic vigor from AI demand may be why Taiwan appears close to raising rates, as strong activity often builds the case for monetary tightening.
