In tech are expected to use Blackwell Gpus and we expect to see the technology in action later this year. Bob odonnell from Technalysis Research was at the event in san jose, california. With all the anticipation built up for nvidias latest product, he says it wasnt your typical technology conference. The atmosphere was like a rock concert the atmosphere was like a rock concert i the atmosphere was like a rock concert. I havent seen Something Like this in the Tech Industry Something Like this in the Tech Industry in quite some time. Some industry in quite some time. Some people were Making Analogies to the early days of steve analogies to the early days of steve jobs types of presentations, but the buzz was in the presentations, but the buzz was in the air presentations, but the buzz was in the air and the whole feel of the in the air and the whole feel of the event was very much like a concert of the event was very much like a concert and jensen was a rock stat a concert and jensen was a Rock Stat I A Concert And Jensen was a rock stat i have a concert and jensen was a rock star.

But whats interesting about whats happening with them about whats happening with them in about whats happening with them in the world of Generative Ai them in the world of Generative Al is them in the world of Generative Al is that them in the world of Generative Ai is that many of the earlier chips ai is that many of the earlier chips that were being used for Generative Ai were actually designed well before most people knew what Generative Ai people knew what Generative Al was people knew what Generative Al was. Blackwell is argue be probably the first generation of chips probably the first generation of chips from them that was designed in thisjen of chips from them that was designed in this jen ai era.

Over in asia, the Bank Of Japan will wrap up its two day policy meeting today. Theres a lot of expectation from analysts that the central bank will put an end to its negative Interest Rates that have been put in place since early 2016. Today, japan is the only nation left in the world that still has such a policy. Nobuko kobayashi, partner at ey, told us how the departure from negative rates would Impact Companies and households in the worlds fourth largest economy. It will be a good thing if japan does trigger the stimulus for a domestic economy, however, it will be bad if the inflation is just externally driven say bye, war and supply chain disruption. In that case, the price will run out of steam, will only offset the price increase. Steam, will only offset the price increase. What are the implications price increase. What are the implications for price increase. What are the j implications for consumers . Consumers will feel the change through commercial banks on short term, and it will be felt in multiple dimensions, the japanese people may see the Interest Rates go up on their savings account, so that is the good news, on the other hand, however, for the boring front, people may see their Interest Payments go up if they have, say, variable Rate Mortgage payments. Say, variable Rate Mortgage payments payments. Will this have an im act payments. Will this have an impact on payments. Will this have an impact on currency . Payments.

The rate hike would mean that the i hike would mean that the japanese yen will be stronger, theoretically speaking. That said, there is still a large discrepancy with the japanese policy Interest Rate and therefore this exit from the Interest Rate loan is unlikely to impact the current Currency Fluctuation that much. Going forward, more important is the incremental steps that they take and at what tempo, so that is to be seen, but for now, doj has been very gingerly moving Interest Rates, so we will see that. This is a story that we will be following over the next few hours here on Asia Business reports.
