During the event, the "Computing-Power Collaborative Technology and Industry Integration Innovation Consortium" was established. Yuan Jun, Vice President of the National Data Development Research Institute, stated that the current collaborative development of computing and power faces a synergistic dilemma involving three objectives: security, green development, and economic efficiency—the "impossible triangle" challenge. The rapid growth in computing power demand is mismatched with the long construction cycle of energy facilities, and the "electricity waiting for computing" approach easily leads to over-allocation and resource waste. A nationwide coordinated approach is needed, integrating computing power and power grid planning into a unified spatial system, with appropriate forward-looking and dynamic adaptation to AI development.Market news: The EU is considering imposing stricter conditions on its $105 billion loan to Ukraine.

In reaction to the dismal market environment, the US dollar index (DXY) has gained, and the USD/CHF pair is swiftly approaching the key level of 0.9600. After defending Monday's low around 0.9480, the pair had a greater reverse on Tuesday, as the risk-aversion theme strengthened the attraction of the DXY.

 

Following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's travel to Taiwan to support Taiwan's local government despite China's wishes, tensions between the US and China have increased. In reaction to the death threats made against Pelosi during her private travel to Taiwan, the US is anticipated to adopt sanctions against China, which encouraged the gloomy market sentiment.

 

In the meanwhile, the DXY has achieved a three-day high of 106.55, although the gain may wane ahead of Friday's US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. According to market expectations, the U.S. economy added 250,000 jobs to the labor force in July.

 

During a brief period, a number of significant IT companies in the United States abandoned the hiring process, resulting in payroll statistics that multiplied. If the same thing occurs, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be compelled to speak less about policy rates.

 

On the Swiss franc front, investors anticipate the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers. An early estimate of the annual inflation rate places it at 3.5%, little higher than the prior estimate of 3.4%. As a result, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will be compelled to boost interest rates.
