Versace also discusses Samsung’s big bet on ‘foldables’ with IG’s Angeling Ong, and why US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell has to balance inflation with jobs growth.

Taiwan Semiconductor's surge in Q2 revenue

In this exclusive IG interview, Angeline Ong and Tematica CIO, Chris Versace, discuss the notable surge in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) quarter 2 (Q2) revenue, driven substantially by artificial intelligence (AI) demand. This sector-wide uptrend is likely to elevate financial forecasts for key industry players such as NVIDIA and Apple. Samsung's upcoming launch hints at innovations in foldable smartphones.

Inflation and GDP forecasts

Meanwhile, financial markets anticipate further growth, with a cautious eye on inflation data and gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts, suggesting potential for overbought conditions and economic slowdown concerns.
