At the sub-forum on "Artificial Intelligence and Energy: Two-Way Empowerment," an official from the National Energy Administration revealed that my country will accelerate the construction of a new energy system to provide a green foundation for the development of artificial intelligence. It is understood that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, inference load will exceed the previous training load, becoming the main consumption of computing power. The characteristics of latency sensitivity, large load fluctuations, and concentrated demand require that computing power collaboration shift from "spatial collaboration" to "multi-dimensional collaboration" between computing power load and the new power system. This necessitates the integrated layout of core elements such as intelligent computing power, large models, and corpus resources. Wang Hongzhi, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the National Energy Administration, stated that nearly four out of every ten kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed in the whole society is green electricity. Sufficient and high-quality green electricity supply will promote green computing power from concept to practice, from the laboratory to application scenarios, ensuring that every kilowatt-hour of electricity is used to its fullest potential and that every token is associated with green development.

Due to hawkish Fed forecasts, the EUR/USD recovers to near 1.0970 but remains in the doldrums

Following a corrective move, the EUR/USD pair has rebounded from 1.0960, but investors await the publication of the preliminary Eurozone/United States S&P PMI data for April. The major currency pair has remained between 1.0911 and 1.1000 for the past two trading sessions, as the foreign exchange market prepares for a pre-anxiety move ahead of a Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.

 

S&P500 closed with a negative tone for the third day in a row as quarterly earnings season induced extreme volatility. Tesla's poor earnings had a negative impact on Thursday's market sentiment. Moreover, market participants were cautioned by substandard revenue projections due to the potential for price reductions. The decision of the Fed to increase interest rates is reflected in quarterly earnings. Data from Refinitiv indicates that analysts have largely maintained last week's forecast of a near 5% YoY decline in quarterly profits for the 500 largest U.S. equities. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been defending the key support level of 101.60 in recent trading sessions. The USD Index maintained the aforementioned support despite the release of disappointing Jobless claims data on Thursday. Initial Jobless Claims increased to 245K for the week ending April 4, which is greater than the previous release of 240K and estimates of 240K. Increasing unemployment claims heightened fears of a deteriorating labor market.

 

Despite this, Fed policymakers continue to anticipate further rate hikes from the central bank. Thursday, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reaffirmed that the Fed has more work to do because US inflation remains too high, according to Reuters. He added, "The Federal Reserve will need to raise its policy rate above 5% and hold it there for some time."

 

Preliminary Consumer Confidence (April) for the Eurozone increased to -17.5 from -18.5 and the previous reading of -19.2. This may be the consequence of extraordinary efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce inflationary pressures.
