- Microsoft's cloud business reported growth that narrowly beat analysts’ estimates, disappointing investors concerned that the company isn’t fully capitalizing on demand for AI services. 

- Amazon spent more than anticipated to expand data center capacity in the quarter, fueling the fastest sales growth for its cloud unit in more than three years.

- Alphabet (GOOGL) reported quarterly revenue and profit that beat projections, fueled by strong growth in its cloud computing unit, signaling that the internet giant’s unprecedented investments in AI infrastructure are beginning to pay off.

Bloomberg's Tom Keene and Jonathan Ferro and Lisa Abramowicz discuss remarks from Fed Chair Jay Powell following the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision on a special edition of Bloomberg Surveillance. 

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said he’ll remain at the central bank as a governor after his term as chair ends. “After my term as chair ends on May 15, I will continue to serve as a governor for a period of time to be determined,” Powell said Wednesday at a press conference.

While Powell’s term as Fed chair ends on May 15, his seat on the Board of Governors doesn’t expire until 2028. “I plan to keep a low profile as a governor,” he said. “There is only ever one chair of the Federal Reserve Board. When Kevin Warsh is confirmed and sworn in, he will be that chair.”

Daybreak Weekend: Fed Preview & Tech Earnings, Bank of England Decision, Japan's Golden Week

Intel gave a strong sales forecast for the current period, signaling that the struggling chipmaker is finally beginning to benefit from the giant build-out of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Revenue will be $13.8 billion to $14.8 billion in the quarter ending in June, the company said Thursday in a statement. Analysts, on average, estimated $13 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Earnings, excluding some items, will be about 20 cents a share, compared with a Wall Street prediction of 9 cents.

The upbeat outlook suggests that Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan is making progress on a challenging comeback plan. After lining up major investments in Intel last year — helping to strengthen the company’s balance sheet — Thursday’s results suggest he’s now delivering on a promise to improve its operations. 

Intel shares rose 14% in extended trading. The stock had gained 81% this year before the results were released, closing at $66.78.

Instant Reaction: Intel Gives Strong AI-Fueled Outlook

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Stocks and crude oil swung at the open in a nervous start to trading in Asia, as lingering concerns about the war in Iran clashed with strong corporate earnings that are helping steady investor sentiment. We spoke to Mark Cranfield, Bloomberg's MLIV Strategist.
 
Plus - SK Hynix Inc. reported a five-fold jump in quarterly profit and reiterated plans to ratchet up its capex "significantly" this year, underscoring surging prices of memory chips that underpin global artificial intelligence development. The Korean chipmaker is riding an AI spending boom that's reshaping the memory sector and offsetting fears around supply chain disruptions stemming from war in the Middle East. The outperformance comes as investors debate whether the advent of AI is igniting a super-cycle of demand that will help SK Hynix and its rivals break a decades-old cycle of boom and bust. We heard from Tom Kang, Counterpoint Research Director. He spoke to Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi Stroud-Watts.
