While the second quarter is traditionally an &quot;off-season&quot; for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry, the company noted that <strong>AI server racks<\/strong> are maintaining a significant growth trend.<\/p>\n<p>Management stated that <strong>Q2 performance is currently tracking well above previous expectations<\/strong> of &quot;significant growth.&quot; However, the electronics giant cautioned that it remains necessary to <strong>monitor the impact of a volatile global political and economic situation<\/strong> on long-term supply chains.<\/p>\n<h2>Secret Israeli Operations and Rising War Fatigue<\/h2>\n<p>A bombshell report from CNN has detailed how <strong>Israel secretly deployed elite military and intelligence units to Azerbaijan<\/strong> during the war with Iran. These units operated out of covert sites in southern Azerbaijan, providing a <strong>&quot;valuable perch&quot; to monitor northern Iran<\/strong> and facilitate drone operations. Some units were reportedly stationed only <strong>60 miles from the Iranian city of Tabriz<\/strong>, which was a primary target of Israeli strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Domestically, American support for the conflict is waning rapidly. A recent <strong>Economist\/YouGov poll found that nearly 7 in 10 Americans favor a deal to end the Iran conflict swiftly<\/strong>. This sentiment is largely driven by <strong>economic anxiety and general war fatigue<\/strong>, as the conflict continues to influence global energy prices and defense spending.<\/p>\n<h2>China Adjusts Monetary Policy and Diplomatic Ties<\/h2>\n<p>In a move to stabilize its financial sector, <strong>China is now allowing certain banks to offer higher interest rates on U.S. dollar deposits<\/strong>. This policy shift comes as Beijing attempts to balance capital flows and support the yuan. Simultaneously, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that <strong>President Xi Jinping\u2019s upcoming trip to North Korea<\/strong> is expected to &quot;boost current friendship&quot; and regional coordination.<\/p>\n<p>On the border with Myanmar, China has called for the <strong>protection of Chinese nationals and institutions<\/strong> following recent unrest. Foreign Minister Wang Yi pledged to maintain <strong>stability along the China-Myanmar border<\/strong>, emphasizing that Beijing will not tolerate disruptions to its strategic interests in the region.<\/p>\n<h2>European Markets and Global Macro Indicators<\/h2>\n<p>European markets showed mixed results in early Friday trading. <strong>Evoke (<a href=\"\/stock\/EVOK\">EVOK<\/a>) led gainers with a 10.0% jump<\/strong>, while <strong>Inditex (<a href=\"\/stock\/ITX\">ITX<\/a>) rose 1.2%<\/strong>. Conversely, <strong>Air France-KLM (<a href=\"\/stock\/AF\">AF<\/a>) fell 2.0%<\/strong> and <strong>HSBC (<a href=\"\/stock\/HSBA\">HSBA<\/a>) dropped 1.7%<\/strong> following broader sector volatility.<\/p>\n<p>Economic data from France provided a <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"silver price today\">silver<\/a> lining, as <strong>manufacturing production grew 0.4% in April<\/strong>, beating the estimated 0.2%. Additionally, the <strong>Oman Oil Terminal has resumed operations<\/strong> following a recent blast, easing immediate concerns regarding Middle Eastern oil supply disruptions. However, <strong>Turkey&#39;s inflation remains a concern<\/strong>, with May consumer prices rising <strong>32.61% year-over-year<\/strong>, keeping pressure on the central bank to maintain a hawkish stance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Foxconn (2317) reported a massive 39.57% year-over-year revenue increase for May, driven by unprecedented demand for AI racks
