Global Market: Japan stocks rise ahead of Nvidia earnings, US inflation data
Japanese shares rose ahead of Nvidia's earnings report and key US inflation data, which could provide clues about the Federal Reserve's next interest-rate move. The benchmark Nikkei 225 rose by 0.56% to 66,227.55 by the midday break, recovering from an earlier decline. The broader Topix gained 0.61% to 4,118.44. Wall Street's main indexes closed higher ahead of the Nvidia results, which are being closely watched for signs of continued strength in the artificial intelligence sector. Investors are also expected to remain cautious ahead of these results, potentially limiting further gains in Japanese equities. The U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures price index for July, the Federal Fed's preferred inflation gauge, was due later on Wednesday. This data follows an unexpected decline in U.US nonfarm payrolls and broadly in-line consumer inflation, which have tempered expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September.

ByteDance faces R$ 153.7 million in fines over TikTok children's data
Brazil's data protection authority has recommended fines totalling R$ 153,769,671.33 and the deletion of personal data collected from adolescents registered on TikTok without valid parental representation. The report, which closes the evidentiary phase of Administrative Sanctioning Proceeding No. 00261.006648/2024-02, found five separate breaches of the country's data Protection law by ByteDance Brasil Tecnologia Ltda. The company was accused of processing personal data belonging to under-18s in the "feed without registration" without a valid legal basis, a breach of Article 7 of the LGPD, assessed at R$ 35,760,388.68, and a breach under Article 6, VIII of the same amount. Each count carries its own fine calculated under Resolution CD/ANPD No. 4 of February 24, 2023. The case began with a single complaint filed against TikTok in 2021 and has been investigated by the ANPD for five years. Despite ByteDancing's defence, the company's claim for mitigation rests on a compliance plan filed during the parallel inspection proceeding.

What Happens When We Move Turtle Nests Into Shade?
Conservationists are increasingly moving turtle nests out of harm's way to protect them from rising tides and temperatures. The location of a nest's location can affect its survival, as it lays eggs too close to the tide line, leading to a longer journey for its babies. Conservationists move these nests higher up the beach to regulate temperature. This strategy is widely used globally, including in New South Wales where authorities relocated over 1,000 eggs from nine nests before an ex-Cyclone Alfred hit, with hatching success reaching 96%. However, a study by UNSW sea turtle ecologist Davey Dor found that unshaded relocated nests were hotter and produced more female hatchlings than those without artificial shade. The study also found that the relocated nests still had lower hatching Success and produced smaller hatchlings.

NHS failing child sex abuse victims, say psychiatrists
The Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCC) has issued a public apology for decades of mismanagement and misdiagnosis in the UK, leading to people sexually abused as children seeking help for mental health issues later in life. The college claims that mental health staff have been too focused on treating symptoms rather than exploring past traumatic experiences which can still affect patients. The support is improving but there is a need for better training and more investment. The apology was included in a report by the college and given to the BBC. Author and immediate past president of the college, Dr Lade Smith, said that too often victims have suffered "avoidable harm when seeking help".

Here's all the ways that data center controversies have transformed the midterm elections
The increasing opposition to data centers in communities across the United States has impacted the midterm elections, impacting plans for tech giants such as Oracle, Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft. This has led to a significant increase in demand for chatbots and other generative AI products, which require large computing power to train and operate. The push has also united conservative ranching and farming communities with environmental groups concerned about drought-stricken waterways, pollution in food-growing areas and shrinking farmland. In New Mexico, where Oracle and OpenAI are building Project Jupiter, a $165 billion data center complex near the Mexican border, concerns over dwindling water supplies have also been raised. Meanwhile, governors are taking steps to toughen regulations on data centers, with some stopping their sales tax exemption for new data center projects. The industry's biggest booster, President Donald Trump, remains a strong advocate for data centers.

Trump wins again. Takeaways from Darline Graham's SC primary victory
President Donald Trump's endorsement of South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham secured a crucial victory in a special runoff Senate primary in South Carolina. Graham, who had been recruited to serve out the remainder of her late brother Lindsey Graham's term, beat conservative Rep. Ralph Norman in the heavily Republican state, 52% to 48%. The win adds to Trump's near-perfect primary success rate for his endorsed Republican candidates, including Georgia Senate nominee Mike Collins, Texas Senate nominee Ken Paxton, and New York congressional nominee Anthony Constantino. The next test will be whether Graham is prepared or not for the role in the deeply red state.

AP News Summary at 11:59 p.m. EDT
Canada is expected to announce retaliatory tariffs against the United States after relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply. President Donald Trump told Canadian leaders to "fall in line" or face consequences "far WORSE" than existing tariffs, while Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Washington of trying to subordinate Canada. The comments show how U.S.-Canada relations have deteriorated since Carney resigned from trade negotiations. Iran and Oman have held talks about managing ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which remains largely shut down nearly six months after the U.K. and Israel went to war with Iran. The Supreme Court's decision to delay the implementation of President Donald Donald Trump's order on mail voting may not take effect for November's elections but could lead to chaos for the midterms.

China’s Huawei, US PC maker HP sign multi-year Wi-Fi patent deal
China's Huawei Technologies has signed a multi-year cross-licence agreement with US PC maker HP Inc, covering patents used in Wi-Fi technology, including the latest Wi-FI 7 standard. The deal gives HP access to Huawei patents and gives Huawei access to HP patents. However, neither company disclosed financial terms. The agreement is seen as a routine licence for technology used broadly across the industry, rather than a start of a wider commercial relationship with Huawei. Despite U.S. restrictions limiting Huawei's ability to buy advanced semiconductors and software, the agreement shows Huawei remains an important holder of patents used globally.

OpenAI claims its Jalapeno chip outperforms Nvidia GB300, promises faster and cheaper AI
OpenAI has announced that its Jalapeno AI chip, developed by OpenAI with semiconductor company Broadcom, has outperformed Nvidia's current systems in key tests. The chip was tested for its ability to handle more AI workloads and respond to requests faster than the Nvidia GB300. OpenAI plans to use its Jalapoeno chip to run its AI models later this year, which could help reduce costs and speed of its AI services. The company is also working on a second-generation Jalapano chip and plans to develop a third generation to reduce the cost of building and operating its AI infrastructure.

US pauses visa appointments worldwide amid Trump's immigration crackdown: Report
The US State Department has halted visa appointments worldwide due to President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. The move comes as the US State Dept. launches a global training initiative across all US embassies and consulates, and visa service appointments will be adjusted to accommodate the training. Applicants with scheduled interviews were informed their appointments had been cancelled and informed of a new date and time. The State Department did not specify a timeline for when the interviews would resume or when fresh appointment dates would be issued. This pause adds uncertainty for immigrant visa applicants, particularly those who are required to complete their processing outside the US. The immigration crackdown has faced legal challenges and criticism from human rights groups, who have accused the administration of discriminatory practices and violations of free speech and due process rights.
