Republican Party Ken Griffin expects that former US President Donald Trump is likely to win the upcoming US Presidential election on November 5, reported Fortune. In a panel discussion at Future Investment Initiative Summit in Saudi Arabia, he added that Donald Trump has successfully gained momentum in the recent polls and he is certainly leading up the prediction markets up to the US Presidential Election day. Fortune reported that Ken Griffin is positively known as a significant contributor in the committees of Republican political action who donates $100 million approximately during the cycle of every election. But lately he has also been seen to be refrained from directly supporting the campaign of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump as he focuses on the candidates who belong to the military and business backgrounds in the primary races. The US Presidential race remains competitive despite the rising popularity of Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump. Several polls coming from the sources like the New York Times/Siena College and Reuters/Ipsos show that there is a narrow lead held by US Vice President Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.

Samsung Electronics has reported progress on a major supply deal for artificial intelligence-focused chips, aiming to reassure investors following a slowdown in semiconductor profits during the last quarter

Samsung Electronics on Thursday reported progress on a major supply deal for artificial intelligence-focused chips, aiming to reassure investors following a slowdown in semiconductor profits during the last quarter. The South Korean technology giant said its operating profit for the July-September period increased by more than 277 per cent from a year earlier to 9.18 trillion won (USD 6.65 billion). But the figure represented a 12 per cent decline from the second quarter, which Samsung attributed largely to one-off costs, such as provision of employee incentives in its computer chip business, and the effects of a weaker US dollar.

Virat Kohli is no stranger to the Indian Premier League, often reminding fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)- because the beloved cricketer has been associated with the IPL team since its inception in 2008. Coincidentally, it was the same year that Kohli was selected to represent India in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup as Captain. It was also the year that forged an unbreakable bond between Kohli and RCB, as the cricketer continues to stay associated with the IPL franchise to this day. Leading India’s resounding win in the Under 19 World Cup of 2008, the then newbie Kohli would go on to recount his selection by the RCB as an ‘impactful moment’ for his career. RCB had prized Kohli’s skills for no less than USD 30,000 back then, according to one report.
