TSMC: Approved capital budget of approximately US$20.7 billion.On August 12th, Monica George Michail, associate economist at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, said the Bank of England is likely to cut interest rates only once more this year because wage growth in the UK remains high. Data on Tuesday showed that average fixed wages continued to grow by 5.0% in the three months ending in June.

However, she said, "Given signs of gradual easing, we expect one more rate cut this year."On August 12th, the Suzhou Artificial Intelligence (Taihu) Computing Center (Wuzhong District Artificial Intelligence Computing Center), with a total investment exceeding 2 billion yuan, officially opened.
