(Reuters) -Micron Technology beat estimates for third-quarter revenue on Wednesday driven by strong demand for its memory chips, but its current-quarter forecast disappointed investors who were upbeat about the chipmaker's performance in the AI boom. The stock had risen 13% this month, ahead of earnings, on investor optimism that Micron would benefit from AI-driven demand. "Micron's largely inline forecast may have been good enough two or three months ago, but is not enough to meet current lofty hopes, especially after a 67% year-to-date rally in its share price," said Michael Schulman, chief investment officer at Running Point Capital.

TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese authorities were "seriously concerned and on high alert" about the yen's rapid decline, said the country's top currency diplomat Masato Kanda, escalating warnings as the currency languished at its weakest level in almost 40 years. "It is generally accepted that the current weakness in the yen is not necessarily justified, therefore believed to be driven by speculators," Kanda, vice finance minister for international affairs, told reporters on Wednesday.

Inflation in the U.S. "appears to be narrowing" and that should allow the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates later this year, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said in a policy essay released on Thursday. After concern that inflation might stall at an elevated level, Bostic said recent data point to renewed progress, including the fact that the share of goods and services increasing at a greater than 5% annual rate had dipped below 20% - more akin to where it was before the COVID-19 pandemic and similar to the share seen when inflation was slowing fast last year. "It's moving in the right direction," Bostic said of a metric he has singled out as one of his touchstones for the U.S. central bank's battle against inflation that spiked to a 40-year high in 2022.
