The viral image claiming “ocean currents appear on a 時代雜誌 cover” was created by AI editing a real photo

The viral image claiming that “ocean currents appear on a 時代雜誌 cover” is not an authentic cover. It was created by AI editing a real photo from the October 4, 2026, inauguration of Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang’s campaign headquarters.

Make small, rapid rate adjustments—don’t wait for big hikes later! Fed’s Hammack sends hawkish signal
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 鉅亨網
Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack made hawkish remarks on the 12th, arguing that the Fed should maintain restrictive monetary policy and make faster, smaller adjustments to bring inflation back to its 2% target. She said AI infrastructure development is pushing up prices and that the economy can still withstand further tightening.
Facts
The president of 克里夫蘭聯邦準備銀行, Hammack, said inflationary pressures have spread across multiple sectors and that the 聯準會 should maintain restrictive monetary policy, making faster, smaller adjustments if necessary.
Hammack said the AI infrastructure boom has driven up prices for key computer, electronic and high-tech components, raising data center costs and affecting aviation, power generation and construction projects that use similar components.
According to 芝商所's FedWatch tool, traders estimate that the odds of the Fed holding rates steady at its Oct. 27-28 meeting are above 78%, while the odds of a rate hike by its final meeting of the year in December are close to 88%.
The U.S. personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose 3.4% year over year in August, while the core PCE index, which excludes food and energy, rose 3%.
Hammack said the current data do not show that the economy is too weak; rather, they indicate it can withstand tighter policy as efforts to bring down inflation continue.
