Quick Glance: TSMC Forecasts Q2 Growth Due to 'Insatiable' AI Demand

TSMC, the world's largest chipmaker, forecasts a potential up to 30% increase in sales in the second quarter, driven by strong demand for semiconductors used in artificial intelligence (AI).

The CEO of TSMC emphasized the insatiable demand for energy-efficient computing power for AI applications, stating that almost all AI innovators are collaborating with the company.

Benefiting from the AI wave, TSMC expects revenue from AI servers to surpass 20% by 2028. The company anticipates that strong demand for its 3nm and 5nm technologies will support business in the second quarter of 2024.

Forecasts for 2024 indicate TSMC's positive outlook, with expectations of revenue rising in the low- to mid-20% range. Despite sluggish smartphone demand, the company remains optimistic about the future due to the ongoing demand for advanced chip technologies.

Quick Glance: Chinese Hackers Preparing to Attack US Infrastructure

FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that Chinese hackers have infiltrated U.S. critical infrastructure and are 'waiting for the right moment to deliver a devastating blow.'

Wray revealed that the Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon has accessed numerous American companies in telecommunications, energy, water, and other critical sectors.

The Chinese hackers operate a series of botnets to conceal their malicious cyber activities, making it difficult to determine the intent of this cyber pre-positioning.

China's Embassy in Washington pointed out that some in the U.S. are tracing cyberattacks back to China and politicizing them, while China claims to be the victim in this scenario.

Quick Glance: Teenager Accused of Sydney Church Stabbing Displays Signs of Mental Illness, Court Reveals

A teenage boy facing a potential life sentence for terrorism in the stabbing of a bishop has exhibited behaviors consistent with mental illness or intellectual disability, according to his lawyer.

The 16-year-old is alleged to have traveled 90 minutes from his home to attack Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel during a livestreamed sermon at Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, Sydney.

Investigators from a joint counter-terrorism team, comprising state and federal police and Asio staff, interviewed the boy in his hospital bed before charging him with committing a terrorist act.

A brief of evidence is set to be presented when the matter returns to court on June 14.

Quick Glance: Netflix to Cease Reporting Subscriber Numbers from 2025

Netflix will no longer report subscriber numbers starting from the first quarter of 2025. The announcement came with the first quarter 2024 results where Netflix exceeded expectations.

Despite the success in the first quarter, Netflix shares dropped over 4.5% after-hours upon revealing the decision to stop reporting quarterly subscriber totals.

The choice to discontinue reporting quarterly membership numbers or average revenue per member is based on Netflix's belief that engagement time is the best indicator of customer satisfaction.

Netflix plans to announce major subscriber milestones but will halt reporting quarterly subscriber numbers and shift investor focus towards time-spent-viewing metrics.

Quick Glance: Macklem Sees Limited Impact of Canada Budget on Fiscal Direction

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem suggested Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent budget, which balanced increased spending with a capital gains tax hike and improved revenue forecasts, did not significantly contribute to inflationary pressures.

Macklem informed reporters on Friday that the budget did not alter the government's fiscal trajectory significantly compared to the November fiscal update. It was highlighted that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland upheld her commitment regarding deficit maintenance and shortfall reduction goals for the future.

The Governor emphasized the continued adherence of the budget to these guidelines, which was deemed beneficial. He refrained from delving into specific details of budget measures, emphasizing the responsibility of lawmakers to deliberate on the government's fiscal plan.

Macklem expressed that the latest three inflation indicators showed a sustained downward trend, with the bank awaiting confirmation that this trend will persist to ensure the progress towards price stability is maintained.
