ABOUT TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is the world's largest dedicated chip
foundry, with over 60% market share. TSMC was founded in 1987 as a joint venture
of Philips, the government of Taiwan, and private investors. It went public as

FROG-THEMED APU APUSTAJA (APU) TOKEN WINS OVER CRYPTO MARKET COMMUNITY WITH
POSITIVE BLOCKCHAIN MISSION

by Gerelyn Terzo


July 23, 2024 9:01 AM | 7 min read | Make a Comment

Partner Disclosure

Apu Apustaja could become the most significant meme coin in history. One of the
most widely used memes out there, with an incredibly active community behind it
and financing it, the project is quite unique to say the least. Often mistaken
for Pepe, Apu – the innocent and playful frog character, free from political
connotations and copyright restrictions – could not be more different to Pepe.
Andrew Kang, one of crypto's biggest thought leaders, iconic investor and owner
of the Pepe NFT, affirms that Apu is a distinct character Since the emergence of
Bitcoin (BTC), new iterations of cryptocurrency innovation have been unleashed,
leading to developments like decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible
tokens (NFTs). However, one of the most exciting niches within the broader
cryptocurrency market has proven to be meme coins, which are digital assets
designed to reflect market sentiment based on anecdotal evidence, mainly social
media Since Dogecoin (DOGE), the maiden meme coin to come on the scene, this
segment has evolved to represent an entire category under the crypto umbrella.
Projects like the Apu Apustaja (APU) token, created in Finland by an anonymous
artist, demonstrate a balance of resilience and whimsy Unfortunately, the Pepe
community has taken aim at Apu, seemingly for its positive influence as a meme
token that has surpassed that of its predecessor. However, for meme coin
enthusiasts, there's no mistaking the "frog-faced visage and spirit of earnest
aid" for which the Apu project has become known, including its mission to "build
dis blockchain with frenship."

FED'S PREFERRED INFLATION MEASURE SHOWS MIXED READINGS, PERSONAL INCOME,
SPENDING FALL: SEPTEMBER RATE CUT REMAINS LIKELY

by Piero Cingari, Benzinga Staff Writer


July 26, 2024 8:43 AM | 2 min read | 1 Comment


ZINGER KEY POINTS

 * The PCE price index fell to 2.5% annually in June, aligning with economists'
   forecasts, bolstering the case for a Fed rate cut in September.
 * Personal income growth slowed to 0.2% month-over-month, falling short of the
   anticipated 0.4%.


The Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index continued to decline in
June as economists anticipated, continuing to bolster the case for a Fed rate
cut in September. The PCE — a basket of goods and services that most U.S.
consumers buy, commonly referred to as the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge
— witnessed a 2.5% annual increase last month, down from a 2.6% surge in May.
Yet when excluding energy and food items, the basket held steady from the
previous month Concurrently, the pace of increase in personal income and
spending fell more than expected, indicating signs of weakness in demand Before
the inflation report, traders anticipated a 100% chance of a September rate cut,
according to CME Group's FedWatch tool The inflation and personal income data
caused Treasury yields to slightly decline Friday morning, with the
rate-sensitive two-year yield dropping by 2 basis points to 4.41%
