At the GPU Technology Conference, Nvidia introduced the Blackwell GPU architecture, which promises 20 PetaFLOPS of AI performance and notable efficiency improvements over the previous model. Some see it as a repackaging exercise, but others highlight the computational power and energy efficiency it offers in the real world. Compute performance is doubled by the secondgeneration transformer engine, which lowers AI computations to four bits. Additionally, Blackwell chips may be easily integrated with older devices because they are plugcompatible. Nvidia also announced Nvidia Inference Microservices NIM, allowing companies to use AI models more effectively. Despite possible competition, Nvidia continues to dominate AI processing because of better hardware and software options like CUDA.

Hedge Funds Dominate Euro Zone Government Bond Market with 55% Trading Volume

With a record 55% of all European government bond trading activity on the Tradeweb platform last year, hedge funds are becoming increasingly involved

With a record 55% of all European government bond trading activity on the Tradeweb platform last year, hedge funds are becoming increasingly involved in the eurozone government bond market. The European Central Bank is decreasing its bond holdings and seeing an increase in funding demands simultaneously with this rise in activity.

Hedge funds are profiting from the markets volatility because they are drawn to favourable interest rates and cheaper electronic trading expenses. Although they add to liquidity, their existence creates regulatory issues because of their adaptability and possible influence on the market. Their involvement in bond auctions has facilitated the smoothing of debt transactions, notwithstanding the risks involved. However, it presents obstacles for traditional market players.
