Artificial intelligence (AI) is the new big hot topic. Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Tuesday 30 May 2023 After NVIDIA last week reported a massive earnings and revenue beat, the company is now building Israel's most powerful AI supercomputer. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but the computational power proposal is astonishing. The system, called Israel-1, is expected to deliver the performance of up to eight exaflops of AI computing. One exaflop is a standard measure of performance for a supercomputer. Exa is short for quintillion, a 1 followed by 18 zeros, which means one exaflop has the ability to perform one billion-billion calculations per second. This proposal from NVIDIA is to build a computer which can perform eight times that amount of calculations per second. The report suggests that the system will be partly operational by the end of 2023. (Video Transcript) More good news for NVIDIA NVIDIA, the artificial intelligence (AI) specialist which makes semiconductors for computers, reported some stellar earnings last week, both earnings and revenues up, and the outlook extremely robust as a result of its association with artificial intelligence or AI chips. Yesterday, NVIDIA came out with some more news. It's announced it is building Israel's most powerful AI semi-computer and the numbers are astonishing. The system is called Israel-1. It's expected to deliver the performance of up to eight exaflops of AI computing. Now, what is an exaflop? Well, that's a good question. One exaflop has the ability to perform one billion-billion calculations per second. Now, the system will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and will be partly operational by the end of 2023. This will mean that Israel through this computer will be able to engage far quicker with AI computing and it will help extra elements. Share price chart Let's take a look at what's happening in NVIDIA stock as we speak all-sessions on the IG platform. This is early trade. We are very, very close to going to a new all-time high and I suspect we could well end up seeing this creep up, even as we speak. It is currently trading at $398.74. This is a candle here where you can see we've gone at the bottom and we're currently at the top. There are no sellers in this stock. And I predict that sometime today, we will see a new all-time record high. Last week, NVIDIA stock jumped more than 25%, or around about a quarter of its total value, on the back of its quarterly earnings. And you can see at the moment we are punching higher as we speak. So, NVIDIA very much the front and center of AI computing and it's benefiting this morning from that news in Israel.

HP, all-sessions on the IG platform, is reporting its fiscal second quarter (Q2) earnings and revenue after tonight's US closing bell. Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Tuesday 30 May 2023 The Street forecasts earnings of 76 cents per share, which would be a drop of about 29% from the same quarter a year ago. Revenue is expected to decline by 21% year-on-year to just over $13 billion, a performance that reflects the continuing fall in demand for PCs. Shares of the personal computer and printer maker have lost about 13% of their value over the past 12 months.

Question
Guest superdry
Morning all,
I am new to IG and have a question about the daily FX interest. Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place...
On my demo account I have charges for daily FX interest for AUD/USD:
04/09- 1 day
07/09- 3 days
08/09- 1 day
11/09- 1 day
The only times that I've left a trade past 10pm was one opened on 31/08 (closed at 23:44) and one opened on 4th (closed on 5th at 01:58). Can someone explain how this works? I know if you hold over a weekend you'd pay 3 days but I haven't done that. Also I don't understand why there are charges come in on the 8th and 11th when the last time I held past 10pm was the 5th!
Sorry if there is a simple answer that I just can't seem to see... Any pointers would be much appreciated.
