Huawei Vice Chairman and Rotating Chairman Eric Xu stated that, based on the worlds most powerful supernodes and clusters, Huawei is confident in providing sustainable and sufficient computing power for the long-term rapid development of artificial intelligence. Huawei also pioneered supernode technology in general-purpose computing, launching the TaiShan 950 SuperPod, the worlds first general-purpose computing supernode. Xu stated that, combined with the GaussDB distributed database, it can completely replace mainframes and minicomputers, as well as the Exadata database appliance, in various application scenarios, becoming the end-all for mainframes and minicomputers. At the end of his speech, Xu revealed that Huawei has overcome the enormous technical challenges of interconnecting large-scale supernodes and launched the Unified Bus (UnifiedBus) interconnection protocol for supernodes. Huawei will openly release the Unified Bus 2.0 technical specifications in the future.On September 18th, Barclays economists noted that risks to the Federal Reserves interest rate path are leaning toward delaying rate cuts. In a research note, they suggested this could occur if inflation data in early 2026 consistently show strong price increases, or if tariffs boost non-commodity prices amidst a moderate rise in unemployment. Conversely, they added, a sudden surge in unemployment could prompt the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to adopt more aggressive rate cuts. Barclays projects that the FOMC will maintain interest rates unchanged through 2026 until monthly inflation data show signs of slowing and provide confidence that inflation is returning to its 2% target.On September 18th, Allspring Global Investments strategists George Bory and John Campbell wrote in a commentary that the stock market could benefit if the Federal Reserve adopts an accommodative policy approach that is "neither too much nor too little." They stated that continued stock market strength and increased market participation depend on the Feds ability to strike a delicate balance amid uncertainty about tariffs: providing enough accommodative policy to avoid a recession while keeping inflation under control. The strategists added that falling fixed-income rates could also enhance the attractiveness of high-yield stocks as an alternative.On September 18th, Goldman Sachs raised its expectations for SenseTime (00020.HK)s ToC business expansion, predicting the company will begin monetizing through monthly or annual subscription fees after offering new users a free trial.
