February 10th - According to TrendForces latest high-speed interconnect market research, to meet the massive computing demands of AI, Googles next-generation Ironwood rack system combines 3D Torus network topology and Apollo OCS all-optical network to achieve a high-speed interconnect architecture. This will boost the global shipment share of high-speed optical transceiver modules above 800G, which is estimated to rise from 19.5% in 2024 to over 60% in 2026, and gradually become standard equipment in AI data centers.French President Macron: Plans to make Europe more sovereign are not progressing fast enough.The yield on 20-year Japanese government bonds fell 5.0 basis points to 3.115%.February 10th - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM.N) reported record-high revenue in January, reflecting that chip orders for the global tech giant have not been reduced despite concerns about a potential bubble in the artificial intelligence sector. The companys January revenue reached NT$401.26 billion (approximately US$12.71 billion), a 37% year-on-year increase, setting a new record. Previously, investors worried about cooling AI demand, as TSMCs monthly revenue growth had slowed in recent months, with Octobers growth at only 16.9%, the slowest pace since February 2024.

Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Holdings Corp, which manufactures batteries for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers, stated on Wednesday that it anticipates a recovery in global vehicle production this fiscal year, but that the two-year semiconductor shortage will persist.


Masashi Nagayasu, CEO of the Japanese conglomerate's automotive business, which manufactures in-car infotainment systems and other auto components, stated, "We will operate our business in consideration of the risks of fluctuations in vehicle manufacturing."


Nagayasu stated on the first day of Panasonic's annual investor event that the company has no plans to produce automobiles.


Panasonic, whose automotive division accounts for approximately 14 percent of its entire revenue, anticipates a 19 percent increase in sales for the fiscal year ending in March 2023. It anticipates an operational profit increase of roughly 17 percent.


Due to component shortages caused by COVID-19 lockdowns in China and higher commodity prices as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the company stated last month that it did not anticipate a profit increase for this fiscal year.


(This item corrects the firm name in paragraph 1 to Panasonic Holdings Corp from Panasonic Corp, and the sales growth forecast in paragraph 4 to 19 percent from 10 percent, and the operating profit forecast to nearly 17 percent from 15 percent decline.)
