On its earnings call on Thursday, Hua Hong chairman and president Bai Peng said the memory supercycle was “a positive thing” as it gave the company room to raise prices on logic chips. “Memory certainly is in high demand nowadays, and that will reduce the supply on the logic side,” Bai said, adding that “if the...

Stanhope, Weardale: One of the best gifts I’ve ever received is a microscope. Sixty years on, it’s still a wonder to watch a mini rainforest in action It was hard to resist running my fingers over the velvet carpet of moss that smoothed the drystone wall’s jagged capstones. Six months ago, after four heatwaves and prolonged drought, these same mosses resembled brown, wizened threads of dried tobacco. Today they were an inch-tall emerald forest again, studded with yellow moss bell toadstools , saturated with overnight rain. Wall-top mosses are resilient, and so is the microscopic life that thrives on them. I collected a few soggy green cushions to investigate later, for “here be monsters”, though most are less than a millimetre long. Continue reading...

Hi, this is Zosia Wanat in Warsaw. Welcome to our weekly newsletter on what’s shaping economics and investments from the Baltic Sea to the Balkans. You can subscribe here . Flexing Muscle When Wirtualna Polska bought a German travel booking platform last year, the €240 million ($283 million) takeover marked a new era — but not just for Poland’s largest internet company. The acquisition was one of 22 announced by Polish companies in Western Europe in 2025, the highest number on record, many of them in Germany, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. As Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared, citing a German magazine: “The Poles are coming.” Poland has never been more prosperous since regaining its independence as a sovereign state a little over a century ago. And the corporate activity reflects the country’s transformation into a regional economic powerhouse, as my colleague Konrad Krasuski reported this week . PKO Bank Polski, the country’s biggest lender, plans to double its European branch network to keep up with local companies expanding beyond their home market, its chief executive officer told us in an interview. The bank is targeting 8 foreign branches by the end of next year, up from four currently. When Poland joined the European Union in 2004, Germany’s per-capita gross domestic product was more than four times bigger. Now it’s about double, and sluggish growth in Europe’s largest economy has created opportunities for Polish companies. According to Dominik Kopinski, a senior adviser at the Polish Economic Institute in Warsaw, Poland is following in the footsteps of South Korea as it shifts away from being an emerging market. There’s flip side, though. Nowhere in Europe has attracted as much foreign investment in IT, finance and human resources jobs. The country looks more exposed now to the threat of automation in the workplace through AI, as we reported in this story from Krakow in November. Wages have also shot up, meaning Poland is losing its edge as a low...

mohd izzuan/iStock via Getty Images By Seema Shah, Chief Global Strategist and Magdalena Ocampo, Market Strategist The January employment report delivered a stronger-than-expected gain in payrolls, challenging concerns that the economy is losing momentum. Non-farm payrolls rose 130,000 in January, beating expectations and marking a sharp acceleration from December. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%, revealing labor market stabilization despite significant downward revisions to 2025 payrolls. Structural forces, including aging demographics, constrained immigration, and AI-driven productivity gains, continue to suppress job creation. Even so, the jobs report reflects a labor market that remains resilient, with a broadening of industry job gains reinforcing the economy’s strength at the start of the year. Report details Total non-farm payrolls increased by 130,000 in January, surpassing expectations of 65,000. Revisions to November and December lowered total payroll growth by 17,000 jobs, a notable improvement from the previous two-month revision that subtracted 76,000 jobs. Private payrolls were robust, rising 172,000 versus expectations of 68,000. Together, January’s job gains suggest the labor market is beginning 2026 on firmer footing. Payroll gains were led once again by healthcare & social assistance, which added 137,000 jobs, the largest monthly increase since mid-2020. These strong gains highlight the sector’s ongoing structural momentum and continued meaningful contribution to overall job creation. Gains in construction, manufacturing, and professional and business services - three sectors that lagged in 2025 - underscore the improving breadth of hiring and point to some stabilization in cyclical industries. Payroll weakness was concentrated in government (-42,000), and financial activities (-22,000). Federal government jobs accounted for the bulk of government losses, largely driven by deferred resignations rather than cyclical deterioratio...
