NVIDIA launches new chips for artificial intelligence

Yesterday, the artificial intelligence giant unveiled Blackwell, a new graphics processor designed to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI).

The first Blackwell chip is called the GB200 and will be available later this year, according to Nvidia's own conference. Bloomberg and CNBC write about it.

Interest rate meeting decision on Wednesday

The market is now awaiting Wednesday's interest rate decision and new interest rate forecasts from the US central bank, the Federal Reserve.

The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged in a range of 5.25-5.50 percent, the level it has been at since July last year.

Since the Fed's forecast in December, many key numbers about the US economy have pointed to continued high activity. In February, more non-agricultural jobs were created than expected, and price inflation rose slightly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Fed said on Wednesday that it no longer envisages three rate cuts, but two. It is difficult, no matter what Norges Bank says, to strengthen the krone exchange rate, Dane Sikhoff, currency strategist at Nordea Markets, told E24 at the weekend.
