NVIDIA: Unveils New Products

Nvidia unveiled new AI chips and software to enhance its leading position in the AI market. This announcement follows a surge in demand driven by the AI boom. The latest chip, Blackwell, with the first model GB200, is set to launch later this year, promising significant performance improvements for AI development. Nvidia aims to meet the high demand for powerful computing, as companies like Microsoft and Meta have heavily invested in its technology.

Nvidia is also introducing software to simplify AI deployment, moving towards becoming a platform for software development akin to Microsoft and Apple. The GB200 processor, part of the Blackwell series, offers a substantial leap in AI performance, aiming to support the training of larger and more complex AI models. This chip and related server systems will be available through primary cloud services, catering to the need for advanced AI capabilities. Pricing details were not provided, but Nvidia's offerings are known for their high cost yet significant contributions to AI advancements.

Unilever: Ben & Jerry’s

Unilever's announcement to split off its ice cream segment, including Ben & Jerry’s and Magnum, boosted its stock. This decision is part of a broader plan to streamline operations and focus on core areas, expecting to save about $868.3 million by 2025. The restructuring will affect 7,500 jobs and aims to make Unilever leaner and enhance performance in its beauty, personal care, home care, and nutrition divisions. The ice cream division's separation is still under planning, with a demerger being the likely option.

This move is a significant step in CEO Hein Schumacher’s strategy to reorganize Unilever amid pressures to improve its financial performance, with the stock down about 6% over the last year. Ben & Jerry’s political activism has also brought controversy to Unilever, including a dismissed lawsuit over its decision to stop sales in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories and backlash over its stance on U.S. indigenous lands.

JAPAN: Ends Negative Interest Rates

The Bank of Japan ended its negative interest rate policy and adjusted its interest rates slightly upwards while signaling continued economic support. This shift decreased the yen's value, benefiting Japanese stocks.

The move reflects a cautious approach, with the possibility of future adjustments based on inflation trends. Prime Minister Kishida supports maintaining a financial environment that is conducive to growth. The central bank aims to keep policies relaxed, with an eye on inflation, and experts suggest that more rate adjustments could be ahead due to the extensive easing period.
