HSBC raises its target price for Micron Technology (MU.O) from $750 to $1,100.The United Business Group of Thailand maintains its GDP growth forecast for Thailand in 2026 at between 1.2% and 1.6%.On May 19th, Naomi Fink, Chief Global Strategist at Amova Asset Management, stated in a report that Japans stronger-than-expected first-quarter GDP data reflects an improvement in the breadth and quality of economic growth, particularly a rebound in domestic demand. She noted that the broad-based growth in domestic demand indicates that inflation is spreading. Fink stated that Japans export growth remained strong in the first quarter, supported by a global technology spending boom, although it may face pressure in the coming quarters as the effects of the Middle East energy shock spread to the global economy and worsen terms of trade. She suggested that the market will focus on whether government investment is focused on long-term capacity building rather than crowding out private investment, and will examine the credibility of public spending plans in differentiating between public and private investment priorities.On May 19th, ANZ Senior Interest Rate Strategist Jack Chambers stated that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is overly confident in households continued spending power and may postpone further interest rate hikes for an extended period. He is more pessimistic about economic activity than the RBAs policy committee. He noted that the committee ignored recent declines in consumer and business confidence when raising the benchmark interest rate to 4.35% this month. Chambers wrote in a report that high inflation could have a significant enough impact on disposable income to cause economic activity to fall short of the RBAs expectations. He added, "This would alter the trade-off between economic activity and inflation."On May 19th, Tencent WorkBuddy officially launched its One-Person Company Incentive Program, offering 30 million WorkBuddy Credits (built-in model usage credits, worth millions of yuan) to global entrepreneurs, OPCs, and other deep WorkBuddy users.

Mexican unicorn Bitso sets out transparency roadmap amid FTX crash

Unicorn exchange for cryptocurrencies in Mexico Following the well-publicized collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, Bitso created a transparency roadmap in response to growing user pressure, a top Bitso executive told Reuters on Thursday.


FTX filed for protection in the US earlier this month following a spectacular crypto meltdown in which traders withdrew $6 billion from the platform in just three days and rival exchange Binance abandoned a rescue plan.


According to Bitso's Chief Regulatory Officer Felipe Vallejo, the company, which has operations in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina, will release a solvency report in less than a month and is choosing an outside partner to conduct an audit.


Bitso recently joined a group of international businesses in the cryptocurrency industry that are attempting to produce an easily digestible report so users can determine for themselves whether businesses have the resources to support their transactions.


Since they only display assets and do not account for the amount of cryptocurrency or money owed to users, some companies' published proofs of funds are insufficient, he claimed.


According to Jean-Paul Servais, the head of international securities watchdog IOSCO, the FTX crisis has made it urgent to regulate cryptocurrency.


Regulators are working harder in the entire region. Brazilian lawmakers are accelerating the regulation of cryptocurrencies, and it is anticipated that Congress will make progress in the United States' expansive cryptocurrencies sector next year.


According to Vallejo, there are indications of activity in Argentina as well.


He continued, "Well-designed regulation can even be advantageous as it will eliminate bad actors from the ecosystem.


As Bitso implements the new transparency techniques, its growth may suffer in the short term, but Vallejo suggested that non-crypto services, like remittances to Mexico, could help mitigate the loss.
