According to Xiaomi, the team systematically reconstructed the entire inference stack, from KVCache management, hierarchical caching, and prefix caching to scheduling strategies and the Prefill/Decode link, based on a hybrid architecture of Hybrid SWA+MoE+multimodal. KVCache storage was compressed to approximately 1/7 of comparable solutions, significantly reducing inference costs in long-sequence scenarios—this is the core technological foundation for this price reduction. On May 27th, the MiMo-V2.5 series API underwent a permanent price reduction, with a maximum reduction of 99%, regardless of input length.On May 30, the nations first green computing power full-stack AI platform was officially launched in the Hohhot Area of the Inner Mongolia Pilot Free Trade Zone, filling the gap in the regions one-stop computing power model word element comprehensive service transaction.The UK Maritime Trade and Operations Authority stated that the maritime security threat level in the Strait of Hormuz remains extremely high due to the blockade.On May 30, the Ukrainian Presidential Press Service announced that Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed two presidential decrees formally implementing measures by the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine in conjunction with EU sanctions.

US Dollar Index Recovers From Weekly Low Due To Weak US Inflation And Hawkish Federal Reserve Bets

During early Wednesday trade, the US Dollar Index (DXY) maintains a defensive stance at 103.30, following a comeback from a one-week low, as dollar bulls await fresh evidence to reverse a two-day decline.

 

US inflation numbers initially failed to excite US Dollar bulls, forcing the dollar's index against six major currencies to drop to its lowest level in a week the previous day. The US Treasury bond yield and the DXY, however, were later buoyed by the Fed's hawkish remarks.

 

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) exceeded market expectations with a 6.4% year-over-year (YoY) increase, although it was the worst YoY growth since 2021, when it fell below 6.5%. Importantly, the CPI excluding food and energy, often known as the Core CPI, rose by 5.6% compared to market forecasts of 5.5% and prior readings of 5.5%.

 

In spite of the fact that the United States inflation failed to meet expectations for a "pleasant surprise," the majority of Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers supported more rate hikes after reviewing the data. The yields on US Treasury bonds and the US Dollar were driven by the same factor. Lorie Logan, president of the Dallas Fed, highlighted, however, that they must be prepared to continue rate hikes for a longer period of time than initially anticipated. John Williams, president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, reiterated this attitude, noting that the task of containing high inflation is not yet accomplished. In addition, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Patrick Harker, stated that they are not yet through (increasing interest rates), but are likely close.

 

As a result, US 10-year Treasury bond rates vary around 3.75%, up three basis points (bps) after reaching a six-week high, while the two-year equivalent reached its highest level since early November 2022 by reaching 4.60%. Similarly, Wall Street's losses towards the conclusion of the day boosted the DXY's increase.

 

US Retail Sales and Industrial Production data for January, as well as the NY Empire State Manufacturing Index for February, should be closely monitored by traders of the US Dollar Index on Wednesday in order to validate the Fed's hawkish lean and continue the recovery's momentum.
