On May 27th, it was announced that Hong Kong and America Internet LOF (160644) will be suspended from trading starting May 28, 2026, and will resume trading at 10:30 AM on May 28, 2026. Redemption services will continue as usual during the suspension period.On May 27th, Tencent Cloud announced that its new-generation Canghai V2 chip has successfully "lit up" (meaning current flows smoothly through the chip, indicating it is usable) and is currently in mass production, with plans to fully provide online services in the second half of 2026. It is understood that Tencents "Canghai" chip began development in 2019 and entered mass production and large-scale application in 2023. Currently, over 100,000 Canghai V1 chips have been deployed on Tencent Cloud and in Tencents own scenarios, covering core scenarios such as live streaming and video-on-demand, 4K ultra-high-definition high frame rate transcoding, real-time cloud gaming encoding, and multimedia processing. Meanwhile, the encoding and decoding processing capability of a single chip has doubled compared to V1, further improving the cost-effectiveness of computing power. Unlike general-purpose chips, "Canghai" is a dedicated chip designed specifically for video encoding and decoding (transcoding) scenarios, primarily developed based on the massive audio and video business needs of Tencent itself.Market news: ELEMENTAL IMPACT has launched a data center innovation initiative with Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft.On May 27, according to Saudi media Alhadath, Bagheri, Deputy Secretary of Irans Supreme National Security Council, stated that Iran and Oman are currently negotiating to determine a new mechanism for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The conditions and arrangements for passage through the Strait of Hormuz will differ from those before the war.

Foreign trade growth across the country is showing a stronger "intelligence content." In Shantou, Guangdong, leveraging the "data processing" policy pilot program, large-scale model calls initiated by overseas users can enter a dedicated zone through compliant links. After inference calculations and token consumption are completed in the local data center, the data is then returned to overseas clients via submarine optical cables. Last month, the first nationwide full-link verification of token (word) export was completed here. From 100 million token calls per day at the end of April to tens of billions of token calls per day now, Shantous "token export" call scale has grown rapidly in less than a month. Behind the export of computing power services is the simultaneous improvement of my countrys computing power infrastructure and hardware supply capabilities. In Shenzhen, a batch of palm-sized microcomputer hosts are becoming "lightweight computing power bases" for large-scale overseas game design and local AI inference scenarios. Currently, the shipment volume of microcomputers here accounts for about 15% of the global market.

In Colombia, natural gas consumption has outpaced production

According to our most recent Colombia Country Analysis Brief, Colombia imported 14,2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas to help meet its natural gas demand for electricity in 2020, when a drop in hydroelectric power was caused by drought.


In 2020, hydroelectricity will contribute to around 65% of Colombia's electrical generation, down from nearly 80% in earlier years. Since hydropower is Colombia's principal energy source, droughts may have a significant effect on the country's electrical producing mix.


The bulk of natural gas used in Colombia is produced domestically and employed to create electricity. In recent years, imports have progressively bridged the gap between domestic natural gas production and domestic demand. In 2020, Colombia produced 399 Bcf of dry natural gas, while domestic consumption was 413 Bcf.


Concerns over the reliability of the nation's electricity supply prompted the Colombian government to approve the Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) LNG import plant in November 2014. The facility started operations in November 2016. The administration has since proposed the Pacific Regasification LNG terminal as the nation's second LNG import plant.


EPM is currently developing the new hydroelectric dam project Ituango. The first of eight 300-megawatt generating units will commence operating in the second part of 2022. The whole project will have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when it is finished in 2025. If completed, the Ituango project would be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Colombia in terms of generating capacity. In 2020, the installed electrical production capacity of Colombia was 17 gigawatts.
