Q4 net profit was $12.285 billion, higher than market expectations of $10.34 billion.

This growth is mainly due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, especially in accelerated computing and generative AI. NVIDIA's stock price rose 8% in post-market trading, indicating optimistic market expectations for the future development of artificial intelligence technology. NVIDIA founder and CEO Huang Renxun stated that the AI industry had reached a "tipping point."

In terms of the NFT market, the two leading NFT projects have recently attracted high attention from the market.

On February 22, according to Blur data, the NFT project BoredApeYachtClub (BAYC) floor price increased by 5.30% in a single day, and is now quoted at 22.85 ETH. Earlier today, Greg Solano, co-founder of Yuga Labs, announced in a post that he will be re serving as the CEO of Yuga Labs, while a new company called "BAYC LLC" has been established as a subsidiary of Yuga and will be responsible for all BAYC related affairs. In the future, Greg hopes to liberate Yuga's BAYC team as much as possible, enable them to execute their vision, and make it more focused and flexible.

In addition, Fat Penguin is coming aggressively. Since the floor price has surpassed BAYC, there have been new moves. According to media reports, Walmart, the world's largest retailer, has expanded the supply scope of Pudgy Toys (NFT series Pudgy Penguins toy series) to 1,100 stores in the United States, bringing the total number of stores nationwide to 3,100.

## Macro: The Fed suppresses expectations of interest rate cuts, gold fell below the $2,020 threshold at one point
On Wednesday, the US dollar index fluctuated around the 104 level and ultimately closed down 0.073% at 103.99. After the announcement of the auction results of the US 20-year treasury bond bonds, the US bond yield rebounded, the benchmark 10-year US bond yield rose to 4.30% again, and the two-year US bond yield, which is most sensitive to the policy interest rate of the Federal Reserve, closed at 4.651%.

Due to the weakening of hopes for early interest rate cuts in the minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting, spot gold plummeted in the short term and fell below the 2020 level, ultimately closing up 0.08% at $2025.99 per ounce; Spot silver fell below the 23 mark and ultimately closed down 0.53% at $22.89 per ounce.

International crude oil rebounds as traders weigh signs of tightening supply in the crude oil spot market. WTI crude oil rose 1.1% to $77.98 per barrel; Brent crude oil rose 0.76% to $83.09 per barrel. In terms of natural gas, US natural gas futures surged 12% on the day.

The three major US stock indexes have mixed gains and losses, with the Dow Jones and S&P 500 closing slightly higher and the Nasdaq down 0.3%.

Last night, the Federal Reserve released the January FOMC monetary policy meeting. The minutes show that Federal Reserve officials believe that policy interest rates may have reached the peak of this cycle. Still, most officials are aware of the risk of a rate cut too fast, and some officials see the risk of inflation progress potentially stalling, with inflation forecasts slightly leaning upwards.

Some Fed officials suggest that slowing down the pace of balance sheet tightening can make the transition period smoother. They have noticed a decrease in the use of overnight reverse repos, and many officials have stated that it is appropriate to begin in-depth discussions on the balance sheet at the next meeting. Some policymakers suggest that slowing down the pace of scale reduction may allow for a longer duration of scale reduction.

Federal Reserve staff pointed out that the consensus on Wall Street is that the slowdown of QT will begin in July, although there is considerable uncertainty about the exact start date. The core of the debate is to what extent the Federal Reserve can shrink its balance sheet without causing chaos in financial markets or undermining its broader policy objectives. So far, since the start of QT in June 2022, its balance sheet has shrunk by approximately $1.3 trillion.

In addition, Federal Reserve Director Bauman stated that this is "definitely not" the time to cut interest rates, and the real estate market is not hindering the decision to cut rates. Richmond Fed Chairman Barkin also believes that January data should be balanced with information from that month due to seasonal issues, and companies are expected to raise prices.
