FTNN News Network reported that Renewable Energy Management Group Clouded Leopard Energy's stock price surged last week following reports of discussions with NVIDIA on green energy procurement, leading to a 63.5 yuan increase, marking a 37.91% rise that topped the weekly performance of listed stocks. Despite being placed under 'restricted trading' due to excessive cumulative price increases, the stock still opened high today with an 8 yuan rise to 239 yuan and later soared to 254 yuan, hitting the limit up with a 23 yuan increase. Clouded Leopard Energy's subsidiary, Taining Green Energy, has been dominating the domestic electricity sales market in the first half of the year, selling over 62,000 solar power vouchers with a market share of 26.97%. This surge is attributed to increased interest in solar energy due to Taiwan's leading position in semiconductor technology and the anticipated growth in AI technology by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. NVIDIA's CEO Huang Renxun's recent visit to Taiwan to explore AI opportunities has also spurred the stock's rise, drawing significant attention from investors.

According to Yahoo News on June 30, 2024, two sources revealed that the US Department of Justice intends to bring criminal fraud charges against Boeing for two deadly plane crashes and is seeking the company to plead guilty or go to trial. The DOJ plans to formally offer Boeing a plea deal, including fines and the appointment of an independent monitor to oversee the company's safety and compliance practices for three years. If Boeing refuses to plead guilty, the prosecution will proceed with a trial, potentially impacting the company's financial standing, government contracts, and facing more stringent government regulations. The proposal requires Boeing to admit to conspiracy fraud with the FAA related to the fatal crashes, and may involve compensatory payments and a three-year probation period. Boeing has previously paid a $2.5 billion settlement as part of a deferred prosecution agreement in 2021, but the DOJ found in May that Boeing had violated the agreement, leading to the decision to bring criminal charges against the company.
