Semiconductors are the core infrastructure powering the Information Age. The way we live and work is also changing with AI, which is creating secular demand for more powerful chips. As a result, the industry has seen solid stock price performance over the last six months as its gain of 147% has outpaced the S&P 500’s 6.4% return.

两只持有印尼债券的基金正推迟赎回，以应对该国金融市场近期动荡带来的流动性压力。 Korea Investment Management的一位发言人周五表示，KIM Fixed Income Fund Plus和KIM Fixed Income Sharia Fund的投资者现在可能需要等待最长七个交易日才能收到赎回款项，而通常的结算期为三天。 此举正值印尼资产遭遇大幅抛售、印尼盾汇率波动加剧，导致债券市场流动性恶化之际。由于投资者担心决策者可能需要继续加息以稳定汇率，外国投资者数周来纷纷从印尼股市和债市撤资，导致印尼金融市场承受巨大压力。 “由于印尼债市流动性紧缩导致债券销售暂时遇到困难，我们的当地子公司延长了赎回周期，” Korea Investment Management的一位发言人在短信中表示。 该公司称，印尼央行在本周的一次紧急会议上意外加息，进一步收紧了债券市场的流动性。 数据显示，本周截至周四，规模5.7万亿印尼盾（3190亿美元）的KIM Fixed Income Fund Plus下跌1.5%，规模6914亿印尼盾的KIM Fixed Income Sharia Fund跌0.7%。 责任编辑：刘明亮

Smile/DigitalVision via Getty Images As investors seek opportunities that combine strong market performance with attractive valuations, only a handful of consumer staples stocks are standing out. Currently, four companies in the sector pair A-rated valuation grades with strong momentum scores, earning a place among the consumer staples sector's leading "cheap high flyers." Leading the group is Darling Ingredients Inc. ( DAR ), which boasts an A+ momentum grade, the highest possible rating, alongside an A- valuation grade. The company's strong price performance and attractive valuation have helped it secure the top spot among consumer staples names meeting these criteria. Close behind is United Natural Foods, Inc. ( UNFI ), which also earns an A+ momentum grade. What sets UNFI apart is its A+ valuation grade, making it the most undervalued stock on the list while also delivering some of the strongest momentum in the sector. Laird Superfood, Inc. ( LSF ) ranks third with an A momentum grade and an A valuation grade, demonstrating a balanced combination of price strength and value. Rounding out the group is Altria Group, Inc. ( MO ), which carries an A- momentum grade and an A- valuation grade, showing that even established consumer staples companies can offer investors a compelling mix of performance and valuation. Momentum grades measure a stock's price performance relative to its peers and are assigned on a scale from A+ to F, with A+ representing the strongest momentum. Valuation grades use the same scale, with A+ indicating the most undervalued stocks and F representing the most overvalued. The four consumer staples stocks currently meeting these criteria are: Darling Ingredients Inc. ( DAR ) - Momentum: A+, Valuation: A- United Natural Foods, Inc. ( UNFI ) - Momentum: A+, Valuation: A+ Laird Superfood, Inc. ( LSF ) - Momentum: A, Valuation: A Altria Group, Inc.

After a rough stretch, quantum computing stocks are hot once again. Though they've retreated somewhat in the last week, shares of IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) , Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) , and D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) have gained 50% or more from the end of March. So, what's going on? And is now the time to buy? The computer or smartphone that you're likely reading this article on is a classical machine. Every piece of data that it stores and processes is held in binary bits, which can only have two states: 1 or 0. Quantum computers process information using qubits, which eventually land in one of those two states. But during the computational phase, qubits exist in a state of quantum superposition, in which their values are neither 1 nor 0, but probability amplitudes that can be positive or negative. This property allows them to perform calculations in a way that is entirely different from how traditional computers do, and could one day let these machines rapidly solve certain types of extremely complex problems that would take even today's best supercomputers thousands of years.

Bonjour et Bienvenue to the Paris Edition. I’m Paris Bureau Chief Alan Katz . If you haven’t yet, subscribe now to the Paris Edition newsletter . Slip of the Tongue Shortly before I was called up on stage to interview France’s new central bank governor, my tablemate at the Paris Finance Forum lunch turned and asked me if I was nervous. I replied that it’s always good to be at least a little anxious. It helps sharpen the mind. I wasn’t worried enough. While introducing the governor, I accidentally called him Emmanuel Macron rather than his name, Emmanuel Moulin. The audience’s — and Moulin’s — laughter at my slip was all the heartier since his perceived proximity to the French president and his policies was the main reason why his confirmation process was somewhat bruising. In his first public appearance as governor , Moulin was disciplined in his remarks, making sure he didn’t violate the European Central Bank’s policy of not commenting on rates ahead of a meeting. (The ECB raised rates by a quarter point on Thursday). He did, however make headlines by saying that the Bank of France planned to raise its domestic inflation forecast for this year. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Moulin’s talk was his renewed support for the digital euro, a project largely opposed by French banks. One point of friction is how much central bank money individuals will be able to hold. “It’s a bit too early to set the limit,” Moulin said. It didn’t sound like the parties are close to an agreement. But with the digital euro moving up the finance agenda , disagreements could quickly take on outsized importance. What caught my eye: Crossing the Tuileries Gardens this morning on my way to the office I saw the Paris Olympic cauldron from the 2024 games being reinstalled. The cauldron, which was lit and lifted by a hot air balloon every night, was one of my daily pleasures during the event. What I’m reading: Sea of Poppies, by Amitav Ghosh. But our books editor, who is in town this week,...
