(RTTNews) - Asian stocks ended mostly lower on Friday as Apple warned of rising memory chip prices and China's state-owned Securities Times warned against speculative trading. Tariff worries returned to the fore after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Canada with a 50 percent tariff on all aircraft sold in the United States and also signed an executive order that would impose a tariff on any goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba, a step that raises fresh pressure on Mexico. The dollar traded higher, clawing back some of its slide on the week, as U.S. lawmakers reached an agreement to avoid a partial government shutdown and President Trump said he has chosen a very good person to be the new Federal Reserve chairman, with a formal announcement expected later in the day. Gold extended losses to dip below $5,200 an ounce in Asian trade as traders booked profits after a record rally. Oil prices fell nearly 2 percent after the U.S. eased some sanctions on the oil industry in Venezuela. China's Shanghai Composite index fell 0.96 percent to 4,117.95 as a sudden drop in gold prices combined with regulatory action to limit speculative losses sparked heavy selling in miners and other materials stocks. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index tumbled 2.08 percent to 27,387.11, ending a seven-day rally amid steep losses in non-ferrous metals and mining stocks. Japan's Nikkei finished marginally lower at 53,322.85, snapping a three-day advance as technology stocks lost ground amid renewed concerns over the sustainability of massive investments in artificial intelligence. Lasertec, Keyence and Advantest fell 3-5 percent. Investors also looked ahead to the lower house snap election scheduled for Feb. 8. The broader Topix index settled 0.59 percent higher at 3,566.32. Data released earlier in the day revealed that Tokyo's consumer inflation cooled again in January, easing pressure on the Bank of Japan to hike rates again soon. Other reports on industrial output, retail sales...

Key Points AI computing power is projected to increase 100-fold in the next five years. AMD is launching a new product to capture demand for more powerful computing systems. Analysts expect AMD's annual revenue to nearly double by 2027. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) have doubled over the past year. The stock trades at a high price-to-earnings multiple, but this premium might be justified based on the trajectory of infrastructure spending for artificial intelligence (AI).

Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Why buy AMD stock? At CES 2026, AMD CEO Lisa Su put a number on how fast AI compute is growing. Since 2022, AI computing power has climbed from 1 zettaflop to more than 100 zettaflops, driven by AI training and inferencing in data centers. But over the next five years, Su believes AI compute will need to increase another 100-fold to run more advanced AI applications. AI has barely begun to impact people's lives in healthcare, autonomous transportation, and humanoid robots. It will require a substantial increase in computing power for AI to reach its full potential, and the good news for investors is that it's not just a one-chip upgrade cycle. AMD is offering new products for this opportunity. Its upcoming Helios rack system will feature 72 graphics processing units (GPUs) that can operate like a single computing unit. Helios will feature the company's EPYC central processing units (CPUs) and networking components. Combining multiple products into a single system should benefit AMD's margins. AMD faces competition from larger chip companies, but if AI needs to expand as much as Su expects, data center operators may prefer to work with AMD to lower costs and reduce dependence on a single supplier. The company'...

Glen Tetley’s fantastical ballet, set to an atonal Schoenberg score, is finally returning to Covent Garden. Dancers Marcelino Sambé and Joshua Junker discuss how they came under its spell Marcelino Sambé is hanging upside down from a scaffold tower. “It’s scary,” he tells me. Nevertheless he swings, he swoons, he balances with limbs entwined around the narrow bars, reaching up to an imagined starry sky (it’s actually the high ceiling of a Royal Ballet rehearsal studio in Covent Garden). This is the iconic opening of the ballet Pierrot Lunaire, where a childlike clown is wonderstruck by the sight of the moon. Made in 1962 by the US choreographer Glen Tetley – whose centenary is celebrated this year – Pierrot Lunaire is a distinctive, eccentric, challenging work, set to Arnold Schoenberg’s atonal song cycle of the same name. It’s based on poems by Albert Giraud, delivered in sprechstimme , a vocal style halfway between song and speech that sounds sometimes like singsong nursery rhymes, elsewhere like a ghostly aural apparition. The ballet is not regularly performed – the last time the Royal Ballet danced it was 20 years ago – but it has a special status in the ballet rep, as a pioneering example of blending modern dance with classical, and as a juicy role for its male lead as the sad clown Pierrot, the commedia dell’arte stock character here given an emotional journey of surprising depth. It was Rudolf Nureyev’s favourite ballet, apparently. Continue reading...

NextEra Energy has high-powered growth potential. Tech stocks have been the hot trade over the past year. The tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 Index is up over 19% in the last 12 months compared to a nearly 15% rise in the S&P 500. That's largely due to the explosive growth of data centers to support cloud computing and AI. While tech stocks are a major beneficiary of the data center boom, they aren't the only ones capitalizing on the megatrend. Energy giant NextEra Energy (NEE +0.70%) is quietly helping fuel the explosive growth in data centers. The need for power Data centers house the chips and other hardware needed to support cloud computing applications. This equipment generates tremendous heat, which requires cooling systems to keep this tech hardware from overheating. As a result, data centers consume a lot of power. The expected explosive growth in data center capacity in the coming years will fuel a surge in electricity demand. U.S. power demand is on track to grow 58% over the next 20 years, six times faster than its rise over the prior decade.

It's also a leading clean power infrastructure development company. Its scale and expertise put it in the pole position to capitalize on the U.S. data center boom. Technology companies are lining up to partner with NextEra Energy to power their data center expansion initiatives. For example, last December, the company signed 11 new power purchase agreements (PPAs) and two energy storage agreements with Meta Platforms totaling 2.5 gigawatts (GW) of power. It will develop several solar energy projects to support Meta's power needs. This agreement builds on the nearly 500 megawatts (MW) of operat...
