The price of Bitcoin (^BTCUSD) is down by more than -2% at a 2-week low, ahead of the expiration of monthly options. More than $17 billion in notional open interest tied to Bitcoin is set to expire on Friday, according to derivatives exchange Deribit.Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid signaled the Fed may not need to lower interest rates again soon and said the current stance of Fed policy is “slightly restrictive, which I think is the right place to be as inflation remains too high while the labor marke ...

Artificial intelligence has transformed the tech market. Memory manufacturers that don't make AI software or GPUs have reaped the benefits of the increased demand arising from this new trend. Micron is the third-largest supplier of memory chips, including DRAM, NAND, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM). HBM chips are essential to the AI market. GPUs that power AI data centers are becoming progressively powerful but are being bottlenecked by memory bandwidth, which has created a surge in demand for HBM. Anoth ...

HSBC Holdings Plc has achieved a "Sputnik moment" with the first real-world trial of quantum computing in bond markets, delivering up to a 34% improvement in predicting the probability of winning customer inquiries in the European corporate bond market. This marks the first empirical evidence of quantum computing solving real-world problems in algorithmic bond trading and could intensify the race among major banks to develop and deploy quantum computing in financial markets. "Working with a team from IBM, H ...
