STORY: From wild swings in oil prices to the AI boom driving revenues... this is The Week in Numbers.
:: 11%
More than 11% was how far Brent Crude prices slid after a two-week ceasefire was announced in the Middle East conflict.
It sent the price below $100 a barrel, having surged over the last month.
Markets hoped the U.S.-Iranian ceasefire would lead to the Strait of Hormuz reopening after Tehran had closed the vital waterway.
But oil prices later slowly crept back up as doubt grew about the agreement holding.
:: $38 billion
Around $38 billion was Samsung's estimate for operating profit for the January to March period.
The South Korean tech giant cited huge AI demand for the uplift.
That's an eightfold jump from the previous year and far above analyst projections.
It also nearly tripled Samsung's quarterly operating profit record.
: 35%
35% was the surge in first-quarter revenue reported by TSMC.
The world's largest contract chipmaker said January to March revenue hit just over $35.7 billion.
The number beat market forecasts and came from huge demand for AI applications.
Analysts raised their forecasts for April to June revenue despite concerns over possible supply disruption caused by the Middle East conflict.
:: 30%
30% was the jump in profit for Fast Retailing during the second quarter.
The Japanese firm said it rose to $1.19 billion in the three months through February with help from strong international growth.
That was well up from a year before and easily beat analyst expectations.
The Uniqlo owner also raised its full-year forecast to around $4.4 billion.
:: 15%
And 15% was the fall in Porsche's first quarter global deliveries in the first three months of the year.
The German automaker saw sharp falls in key markets China and the U.S.
The drop-off was particularly sharp in China as deliveries fell just over a fifth.
Germany was the only region that saw growth at 4%, but deliveries in the rest of Europe plunged 18%.
