This week on 'The beginning of empathy,' Empathy Keeper analyzes the critical economic shifts dominating Hong Kong's search trends, reflecting a complex interplay between macro-financial volatility and the rapid acceleration of future technologies. The most significant financial news was the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) decision to raise its policy interest rate, effectively challenging the three-decade-long era of ultra-low rates. This move is crucial for Hong Kong, a major Asian financial hub, as it anticipates the implications for regional capital flows and the potential unwinding of the 'Yen carry trade.' The resulting currency fluctuations, particularly the pressure on the Korean Won, highlight how global monetary policy directly translates into domestic inflation and increased cost of living for ordinary citizens.

Following record revenues, a leading US memory corporation announced a substantial increase in its capital expenditure to $20 billion. This investment is driven by the explosive growth of the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) market, essential for high-performance AI chips, which is projected to become a $100 billion market by 2028. This aggressive stance has prompted Asian tech giants, including major Korean manufacturers, to accelerate their production capacity expansion, confirming the market's conviction that the AI boom represents a long-term 'super cycle.' The adoption of AI is also transforming marketing, with recent awards highlighting the use of AI as a strategic partner to amplify human creativity and drive 'purpose-driven marketing.'

Amidst these high-stakes technological and financial developments, the blog emphasizes the importance of fundamental safety and fairness. A shocking incident involving a major retailer recalling imported peanut butter due to excessive levels of Aflatoxin—a Group 1 carcinogen—underscores the critical need for robust global food safety standards and supply chain vigilance. Furthermore, efforts in South Korea to reform small business support programs, such as the Onnuri Gift Certificate, aim to ensure
