BRUSSELS, March 20 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp's remedies to address European Union antitrust concerns over its $69 billion acquisition of Activision focus only on cloud gaming services, with no mention of rival Sony, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.

The brief from the Caribbean governments, which was joined by a network of non-governmental organizations, follows a summit among regional leaders last month held in the Bahamas, where arms trafficking was a key topic.

All our activities did very well," CEO Torbjorn Tornqvist told Reuters on the sidelines of the Financial Times Commodities Global Summit, declining to give figures as the firm's results are still being finalised. "It was a very, very good year.

The states filing the brief were California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont.

The DOJ and the financial market regulator the CFTC have continued investigating the firm and Gunvor expects to pay a fine.
"We are looking at whether to take a provision on our books for 2022," Tornqvist said.

March 21 (Reuters) - Nvidia Corp, the computing company powering the bulk of artificial intelligence, is positioning itself as a key player in quantum computing with the launch of new software and hardware.

Although most imagine coders tapping on a keyboard in a darkened room, in practice they are writing, researching and bringing systems and components together, which means repeatedly stopping to find more information.

Nvidia is also partnering with AT&T Inc to make dispatching trucks more efficient, collaborating with quantum computing researchers to speed software development, and working with industry giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to speed up chip development, Huang added.

GitHub Copilot is designed to keep the developer's mind in the flow by suggesting code or predicting whole methods, similar to writing an email or doing a Google search where the next few words are suggested.

The program would help run the algorithm across quantum and classical computers depending on which system is most efficient in solving the problem. On Tuesday at its developer conference GTC, Nvidia unveiled CUDA Quantum, a platform for building quantum algorithms using popular classical computer coding languages C++ and python.

BRUSSELS, March 20 (Reuters) - European Union member states have agreed to supply one million rounds of artillery ammunition to Ukraine, Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur said on the sidelines of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels on Monday.

"CUDA Quantum will do the same for quantum computing, enabling domain scientists to seamlessly integrate quantum into their applications and gain access to a new disruptive computing technology," said Tim Costa, Nvidia's director of HPC and quantum.

and the rest is demand destruction, close to 20%. "Europe was taking about 110 billion cubic meters per year from Russia. Some of it is weather related," he said. That´s about 1,000 LNG cargoes. We think Europe was able to cover about half...

Swiss energy traders have posted record returns over the last few years as they thrived in extremely volatile markets brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and then Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, March 21 (Reuters) - Energy trader Gunvor made strong profits last year and is looking to expand its oil trading and develop a significant power trading arm in the United States, its CEO told Reuters.

And even when they become good enough to be useful, they would have to be paired with powerful digital computers to operate, said Sivan. While quantum computers could potentially speed up some calculations millions of times faster than the fastest supercomputer, it is still uncertain when that would happen.

March 27 (Reuters) - Nvidia Corp, the world's leading designer of computer chips used in creating artificial intelligence, on Monday showed new research that explains how AI can be used to improve chip design.

"Our commitment to grant long term 100% equal access to Call of Duty to Sony, Steam, NVIDIA and others preserves the deal's benefits to gamers and developers and increases competition in the market," a Microsoft spokesperson said.

March 23 (Reuters) - Wall Street was set to open higher on Thursday after the Federal Reserve hinted it was close to pausing interest rate hikes amid a turmoil in the banking sector that threatens to cause a severe economic downturn.

For me, the goal is financial freedom and offsetting the negative effects of inflation. This is particularly important in the current climate. Why do you think it's important to invest?
