With a market valuation of more than $3 trillion, Nvidia surpassed Apple to become the second most valuable business in the world on Wednesday as it surged to alltime highs.

Some investors perceive Apple needing to catch up in AI innovation due to its struggles in the smartphone industry. Despite its spectacular rise, Nvidias pricetoearnings ratio is still lower than a year ago. Read More..

Representatives from 48 African countries gather for the first KoreaAfrica summit to strengthen trade, investment, and technological collaboration.

In Leixlip, Ireland, Apollo Global Management will purchase a 49% ownership stake in Intels planned $11 billion manufacturing facility. The agreement, anticipated to finalise in Q2, enables Intel to reallocate its investment.
