The S&P is nearing a record high, while the Nasdaq extended its winning streak. The Dow Jones jumped points after the White House softened tariff concerns, easing trade war fears. Speculation about an early Fed chair appointment under Trump also boosted market optimism. However, Q1 economic data showed a 0.5% contraction and a widening trade deficit due to weaker exports. The crypto market was up.<\/p>\n
Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Friday<\/span>, equities stocks hit record highs amid optimism about trade deals and potential rate cuts, despite Trump\u2019s comments on pausing Canada trade talks. The S&P surpassed its February peak. Early gains followed positive trade updates, including a China framework deal. Though Trump\u2019s remarks briefly weighed, the rally held, supported by easing inflation, strong earnings, and improved consumer sentiment.

SVET Markets Weekly Update\u00a0 – June 16th\u201320, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Week 25, all major indexes and crypto were down due to geopolitical escalations.<\/p>\n
Monday <\/strong><\/p>\n
On Monday, major indexes went down as NY Manufacturing Index fell in June significantly,missing expectations and indicating further worsening business conditions. This marked its lowest point since March. New orders and shipments both declined, and supply availability deteriorated. While inventories remained stable, employment edged up for the first time in months, and the average workweek held steady. The US 20-Year Bond Yield dropped. Despite this recent dip, the yield is still higher than it was a year ago. Crypto markets went volatile readying for a correction after a significant rise several weeks ago.<\/p>\n
Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Tuesday, stocks declined as escalating Middle East tensions fueled fears of direct America\u2019s involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. Trump\u2019s strong rhetoric, demanding Iran\u2019s \u201cunconditional surrender\u201d intensified anxieties. Domestically, disappointing May retail sales, down 0.9%, indicated slowing consumer buying likely impacted by tariffs. In corporate news, JetBlue Airways sank on warnings of weak travel demand, pulling down other major airlines. Conversely, ExxonMobil and Chevron gained 1.3% and 3.2%, respectively, as oil prices surged 4%. Crypto markets are in red.<\/p>\n
Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Wednesday, equities ended mixed after the Fed held interest rates steady. The Dow and S&P 500 slipped marginally, while the Nasdaq gained. Fed chairman Jerome Powell maintained a cautious, data-dependent stance, citing unclear tariff impacts on inflation and stagflation risks. The Fed now projects two rate cuts in 2025, alongside revised lower growth and higher inflation forecasts. Investor sentiment was also weighed down by escalating Middle East tensions, fueling fears of deeper US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. Technology stocks outperformed, but energy led declines. Crypto were in red setting a stage for Bart Simpson pattern correction.<\/p>\n
Commodities and Currencies:<\/strong><\/p>\n
The dollar index remained stable, maintaining gains after the Fed kept interest rates unchanged. Powell indicated potential inflation increases due to Trump\u2019s tariffs and downgraded growth forecasts, yet reaffirmed two 25 basis point rate cuts for 2025, surprising markets. The dollar also benefited from safe-haven demand amid escalating Middle East tensions. Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader warned of \u201cirreparable damage\u201d if the America intervenes militarily, adding to geopolitical anxieties.<\/p>\n
Platinum prices have surged over 45% this year to a ten-year high above $1,330 per ounce. This bullish trend is driven by a significant supply deficit and strong investor sentiment, especially after London Platinum Week. The narrowing gold\/platinum ratio signals platinum is seen as an undervalued alternative. Middle East tensions also fueled safe-haven buying. Additionally, rising demand from Asian markets and its crucial role in automotive catalysts and the hydrogen economy are tightening global supply.<\/p>\n
Thursday\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Thursday, the stock market was mostly in red as the dollar rose driven by safe-haven demand amidst the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. Reports suggest Trump granted Iran two weeks for nuclear negotiations, delaying potential military action. Earlier this week, the Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady, with Powell emphasizing a cautious, data-dependent approach. Powell warned that Trump\u2019s tariffs could fuel inflation, while the Fed also downgraded growth forecasts but reaffirmed two 25 basis point rate cuts for 2025. Traders are now anticipating Friday\u2019s Philadelphia Fed manufacturing survey and the Conference Board\u2019s leading economic indicators. Crypto markets followed stocks into the red zone.<\/p>\n
Friday <\/strong><\/p>\n
On Friday, the Manufacturing Index remained at -4.0 in June 2025, missing expectations and signaling continued subdued manufacturing activity. While new orders declined but stayed positive, and shipments improved, both fell below long-term averages. Critically, the employment index dropped into negative territory, hitting its lowest point since May 2020, indicating job contraction. Though price pressures eased slightly, input and output prices remained historically high. Furthermore, forward-looking indicators showed waning optimism, with fewer firms expecting growth over the next six months. Crypto is in red.<\/p>\n
Week 26 is expected to be volatile, with markets sensitive to geopolitical developments, inflation data, and Fed signals.<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/strong>
\nOn Tuesday<\/span>, equities are down as investors assessed earnings, Fed minutes, and trade tensions before Nvidia\u2019s results. Nvidia rose pre-earnings, seen as a test for AI market optimism. Fed minutes signaled caution amid economic uncertainty, and trade worries flared after Trump\u2019s restrictions on chip software sales to China hit Cadence and Synopsys. Nvidia\u2019s earnings could either revive market momentum or fuel volatility, depending on demand and China-related signals. Crypto markets were steady.<\/p>\n
Wednesday<\/strong>
\nWednesday saw <\/span>equities rise slightly as strong earnings from companies like Nvidia and Boeing offset concerns over tariffs and economic data. However, trade uncertainty lingered after a court initially blocked Trump\u2019s tariffs, only for an appeals court to reinstate them later in the day. Peter Navarro stated that if the administration loses court battles over trade tariffs, it will pursue other methods to enforce them. Best Buy lowered its outlook, blaming tariff-related risks, dragging its stock down. Meanwhile, revised GDP data showed the economy shrank 0.2% in Q1, a slight improvement from earlier estimates. Meanwhile, the crypto market moved side-ways.<\/p>\n

The latest GDP data showed a 0.2% Q1 contraction, better than the initial 0.3% estimate, but corporate profits fell 3.6%. Tech led gains, while consumer staples, utilities, and industrials lagged. Crypto markets declined.<\/p>\n
Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Friday<\/span>, stocks fluctuated, ending a turbulent but positive May as investors assessed renewed China trade tensions and softer inflation data.

On\u00a0Week 23<\/span>, markets will brace for volatility as Trump\u2019s trade war threats resurface. Key focus includes jobs data, PMIs, Fed speeches, and global central bank decisions. Inflation reports from Europe and Asia, plus GDP and trade figures from multiple nations, will also drive sentiment.<\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Monday, stocks recovered from early downs, as the S&P rose, aided by declining Treasury yields. The Dow gained, while the Nasdaq edged up slightly.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed concerns and called for trade talks during the tariff pause. Energy, tech, and consumer sectors underperformed, while healthcare and utilities limited losses. Apple and Tesla fell, but UnitedHealth surged 8.2%. The crypto market remained volatile, with BTC and ETH holding steady.<\/p>\n
Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Tuesday, stocks fell, ending the S&P 500\u2019s six-day rally, while the Nasdaq and the Dow also slipped. The decline followed earlier gains fueled by trade optimism and Trump\u2019s tax and tariff proposals, but uncertainty over trade talks and political pushback on taxes dampened sentiment. Tech stocks dragged the market lower, with Alphabet, Nvidia, Meta, and declining, though Tesla rose after Musk affirmed his CEO role. Mixed Home Depot earnings, warnings from JPMorgan, and Fed concerns over tariffs added pressure. Crypto markets were mixed.<\/p>\n
Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the Dow, S&P and the Nasdaq fall as rising Treasury yields reflected investor concerns over a federal budget plan that may widen the deficit. The bill faced opposition from some Republicans pushing for higher state and local tax deductions, potentially hindering Trump\u2019s tax agenda. Markets await jobless claims data for labor market clues. In corporate updates, Lumen Technologies jumped after AT&T agreed to buy its fiber business, while Snowflake and Urban Outfitters rose on strong earnings. Cryptocurrencies also gained.<\/p>\n
Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Thursday, Equities ended nearly flat as investors balanced Trump\u2019s tax-and-spending bill \u2014 featuring cuts and higher defense spending \u2014 against worries over the growing deficit.

PMI rose to 52.1, showing economic resilience despite mixed housing and labor data. BTC retreated after a record high, pulling crypto markets lower.<\/p>\n
Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Friday, stocks went down as Trump\u2019s tariff threats against Apple and the EU reignited trade fears. Apple shares dipped below a $3 Trillion valuation, after Trump proposed a 25% tariff on iPhones not made in America. He also suggested a 50% tariff on EU imports from June 1, worsening trade tensions. Tech stocks like Micron, Qualcomm, and Nvidia fell over 1%, leading the decline. The drop came just as optimism grew over paused tariffs and progress in UK and China trade talks. The crypto market also followed stocks lower, with BTC correcting from its ATH.<\/p>\n
On\u00a0Week 22, markets face potential volatility as Trump\u2019s renewed tariff threats on the EU and Apple loom.

On\u00a0Week 20, the S&P 500 (+5%), Dow (+3%), and Nasdaq (+7%) had strong weekly gains, led by Nvidia.<\/p>\n
Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Monday, stocks surged after China agreed to temporarily cut tariffs, easing trade war fears. Tech and consumer discretionary led gains, while pharma lagged on drug price concerns. The government saw a $258B April budget surplus, up 23% YoY, driven by strong tax receipts and higher tariffs (averaging $500M daily). Tariff revenue may drop after China deal, and surplus was aided by deferred taxes and calendar shifts.<\/p>\n
The crypto market was in red with BTC and ETH dropping more than 2%.<\/p>\n
Tuesday <\/strong><\/p>\n
On Tuesday, equities rose as easing China trade tensions and mild inflation data lifted sentiment. The Nasdaq 100 jumped led by chip stocks like Nvidia. BTC and ETH also climbed, with Ether up 8%.

The S&P 500 inched up 0.1%, while the Dow slipped 89 points.

On\u00a0Week 17, tariff uncertainty and trade tensions will fuel market volatility. Investors will monitor earnings from major firms like Tesla, Boeing, and SAP. Global PMI data, home sales, and EU confidence gauges will be key. China\u2019s PBoC is expected to hold rates steady.<\/p>\n
Comment: What\u2019s Up With Politics?<\/strong><\/p>\n
The previous White House administration was an embodiment of what is wrong with the left wing of the political spectrum \u2014 a policy of \u2018too little, too late.\u2019 Aging government bureaucrats, led by a \u2018leader\u2019 who was literally decomposing before our eyes, proved to be incapable of meeting the demands of the new age of unhinged tech. The new administration, although packed with \u2018young and hungry\u2019 individuals, is essentially also led by older folks who have tried to gain \u2014 and then cling to \u2014 power by shifting from \u2018not moving at all\u2019 to \u2018crazy fast.\u2019 However, the results they have achieved so far are close to catastrophic. Still, the desperate public and their elected representatives are willing to give them all the time in the world they need to destroy everything. It seems that Churchill\u2019s 1942 saying, \u2018You can always count on Americans to do the right thing \u2014 after they\u2019ve tried everything else,\u2019 remains true 83 years later.<\/p>\n

SVET Markets Weekly Update (March 31 \u2014 April 4, 2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Week 14<\/span>, Trump\u2019s imposition of tariffs on over 200 countries, crushing all markets by 10\u201315%, sent shockwaves that were, unquestionably, historical. On the other hand, the ability of BTC and other cryptocurrencies to withstand that blow was absolutely unprecedented.<\/p>\n
Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Monday<\/span>, equities rebounded on technicals amid growing uncertainty surrounding the scale and scope of the April 2 tariffs, despite the Texas manufacturing activity index dropping to levels seen in July 2024, primarily due to a drastically deteriorating outlook. It was also noted that the Chicago business barometer showed economic contraction for the 16th consecutive month, though at the slowest pace since November 2023.<\/p>\n

The State Of Markets:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Mixed, American equities rebounded on technicals, while the rest of the world\u2019s stock indexes were in deep red on expectations of the April 2 tariffs.<\/p>\n
So, what we have as the WH\u2019s \u201cofficial economic policy\u201d is, as I have already mentioned, the \u201cnew mercantilism\u201d or \u201cmagantilism\u201d. Basically, it means that previously held economic concepts \u2014 2010s-2020s new-Keynesian \u2014 go out the window together with their predecessors \u2014 1980s-2010s Libertarian (or new-Classical, Monetarists), 1950s-1980s Keynesian, and 1930s-1950s Government Led Economy (Planned Economy, Socialism, War-Time Capitalism).<\/p>\n
In fact (and in accordance with Generational theory), we are getting back ~100 years to the start of the 20th century, when the First World War began with several \u201cgreat\u201d imperial powers fighting for prevalence in international markets and grabbing new colonies to ensure an uninterrupted flow of natural resources to their \u201cstrategically important\u201d (\u201cpatriotic\u201d) manufacturers.<\/p>\n
I do not think that the majority of Americans were just \u201cstupid\u201d when they voted the present Administration into the White House 3 months ago. Not at all. I believe that these changes are fundamental, that \u201cmaganomics\u201d will continue and will prevail, supported by disillusioned, disenfranchised, and marginalized voters due to unprecedented income and social divides, despite falling markets, abused allies, and growing outcry from the left of the political spectrum. Moreover, these changes will lead in a few years to an absolutely new geopolitical and economic situation.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the long term. We can see that the White House is pushing world leaders to take a stance on whether they are for, against, or \u201cnon-aligned\u201d with America. The first kind will be subordinated and given some small economic preferences. The second kind will be severely ostracized and militarily threatened even if it leads to the point of an open military conflict. Among all of those mounting military threats, third-kind countries will be simply forced into submission to one or the other side.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s now look at the medium term (3\u20135 years). Obviously, it would be a period of stage-by-stage growing worldwide divides, worsening international relations, and, consequently, intensifying trade wars accompanied by the return of government regulations (for most G20 countries) of major sectors of the economy, especially those traditionally associated with strategic resources (including cheap food and lodging to support the poorest strata of the population \u2014 the base of the new political regime) and military. All the rest of the economy, first of all, SMEs, will be left alone (hopefully), forced to survive facing growing competitive pressure from politically-wired visionary geniuses.<\/p>\n
So the short term \u2014 basically, \u201cdetox\u201d out of 30\u201350% of people\u2019s 401k because of the corresponding fall of major stock indexes \u2014 looks very gloomy for perma-bulls. However, traditional portfolio management strategies \u2014 that of going into safety \u2014 gold \u2014 might work better than the rest, including holding Treasuries or cash, because as we all know \u201cdetox\u201d includes getting the USD weaker and Treasuries more expensive and less yield-bearing.<\/p>\n
What to do in the medium term? It looks a little less dark. First of all, the local economy will start to adapt to new prohibitive trade regimes, which will be complemented by government support for key industries to alleviate the effects of falling international and domestic sales, as well as the rise of new industries like military, AI, and crypto (mostly as a result of deregulation and the poorest educated middle-class desperately looking for new sources of income).<\/p>\n
Now, long-term portfolio management will include exiting from \u201crisky\u201d assets, repositioning into \u201cstrategic,\u201d government-supported industries (military, energy, food), and of course, again growing your gold (and possibly, depending on prohibitive legislation, BTC).<\/p>\n
So, overall, our proposed portfolio strategy to navigate the next years can be presented as Out-In-Out.<\/p>\n
Please note that the above is not investment advice. Moreover, the future is unpredictable by definition. So this portfolio strategy is purely speculative. It can be completely changed by myself in the future as the real situation on the ground evolves.<\/p>\n
Tuesday <\/strong><\/p>\n
On Tuesday<\/span>, stock indexes are mostly in the red ahead of the April 2nd self-inflicted tariffs. Factory activity contracted for the first time in 3 months, while prices soared to their highest levels in 3 years. Additionally, there was the sharpest deterioration of business conditions in 2 years, alongside a drop in job openings.<\/p>\n

Comment: What\u2019s Wrong With DEMs?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Ils n\u2019ont rien appris, ni rien oubli\u00e9. This phrase is attributed to Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-P\u00e9rigord, a French diplomat, in reference to the Bourbon Restoration after Napoleon\u2019s fall. It critiques the returning Bourbon monarchy\u2019s inability to adapt to the changes brought about by the French Revolution and Napoleonic era.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s fully applicable to DEMs in all the latest election cycles, including the recent one. If you listen to the explanation that DEM-leaning media are giving now for their catastrophic performance in the 2024 elections, you\u2019ll hear that DEMs still think that everything they were doing was perfect \u2014 the only mistake they made was being unable to communicate their \u201cachievements\u201d to certain electoral groups.<\/p>\n
As the Bourbons, DEMs have absolutely not recognized that their agenda, especially how they treat new independent, uncensored media and new sources of income (like cryptocurrencies), is simply out of date. Their approach to policing media and restricting access to blockchain, and generally their desire to put bureaucracy first, ahead of people \u2014 that is what put them down.<\/p>\n
However, despite that being up in their face, DEMs once again demonstrate that \u201cThey have learned and forgotten nothing.\u201d This adds to my certainty that \u201cmaganomics,\u201d together with \u201cmagapolitics,\u201d is here to stay for a very long time.<\/p>\n
Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Wednesday<\/span>, markets all over the world were volatile in anticipation of tariffs that were to be announced after the closing. Trump imposed a 10% universal tariff, along with additional levies on 60 nations, and 25% duties on auto imports. Many countries, including the EU and China, issued statements criticizing the tariffs as violations of trade rules, calling them an act of \u2018bullying.\u2019 The dollar index plunged, and oil also declined as markets became risk-averse following the higher-than-expected tariffs. Gold hit a new all-time-high while BTC, ETH, and SOL are in the red after fluctuating widely.<\/p>\n
Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Thursday<\/span>, stocks saw their worst drop in over two years, with major indices plummeting. The S&P 500 experienced its biggest fall since 2020 \u2014 wiping out around $2 trillion in value. Investors were spooked by Trump\u2019s tariffs, fearing global retaliation and economic damage. Tech stocks led the sell-off, with Apple, Nvidia and retailers Nike and Dollar Tree each falling about 10%. Despite the steep losses, trading remained orderly, though inflation and volatility concerns grew. With tariffs set to start April 5 and more expected, market uncertainty is likely to persist. BTC, ETH, and SOL also dipped but less sharply.<\/p>\n
The State Of Markets:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0In red, the unprecedented tariff war launched by the White House on April 2 weighed heavily on stocks around the world.<\/p>\n
Comment: What\u2019s Up With Tariffs?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s \u201creciprocal\u201d tariffs are based on the country\u2019s trade deficit divided by imports (which is essentially a measure of the proportion of imports that are not offset by exports in a bilateral trade relationship), rather than actual foreign tariffs (WTO).<\/p>\n
The administration emphasized the trade deficit as a sign of unfair trade practices so the Trump administration\u2019s approach considered the trade deficit as a key factor. This method reflects a focus on \u201creciprocity\u201d as a way to reduce the trade deficit, rather than on matching actual foreign tariff rates.<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Friday<\/span>, the DOW, S&P, and Nasdaq all experienced a decline reminiscent of decades past; oil plunged to a three-year low, and gold dropped sharply as investors sold it to meet margin calls, while BTC and even ETH are not budging. It is unprecedented. Partially, this might be explained by the very high volatility of the USD and gold. This has prompted many traders to diversify into alternative asset groups. However, it might just be a short-term reaction, especially given that Powell explicitly warned the markets about inflation and stated that the Fed will react to Trump\u2019s tariffs. Still, BTC being in the green while all the world indexes are in freefall (e.g., the entire Italian market dropped almost 8% in just one day) is a historic event.<\/p>\n
The State Of Markets:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>Absolutely in the red, all the world\u2019s markets and almost all major commodities are in deep decline, responding to an overnight revamp of the 80-year-old global trade system. Crypto has historically stood strong.<\/p>\n
On\u00a0Week 15<\/span>, markets eye trade war fallout, inflation, and Fed minutes. Europe\u2019s retail and industrial data, plus UK GDP, are due. China\u2019s trade and India\u2019s policy also loom.<\/p>\n
Comment: What\u2019s Up With Tariffs? (2)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
It would not be a stretch to say that in the past 200 years or so of capitalist market history, all of the accumulated economic experience and theoretical knowledge have taught us a lesson: that even if tariffs work, it\u2019s only short-term, and the negatives massively outweigh the positives. Basically, a \u201ctrade war\u201d is 90% the \u201cwar,\u201d and only 10% is \u201ctrade.\u201d Tariffs are highly disruptive and counterproductive, not only economically but also socially and politically. Bottom line, they should not be used as a tool in the contemporary, modern, open world\u2019s economy at all.<\/p>\n
The way it\u2019s currently done by the White House is absolutely and even ridiculously grotesque. It signals the end of international trade as we have known it. Most economists estimate it costs between $2,000 and $5,000 per person per year. This includes both inflation and rising costs. That\u2019s the price each individual will have to pay for a couple of thousand manufacturing jobs returning to the mainland, and also for some politicians feeling \u201csecure\u201d about \u201cnational economic security.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, all of that said, hasn\u2019t everyone in crypto (myself included) been crying out for at least the past 10 years (pretty much since the advent of BTC on world\u2019s economic scene) about how the current \u201cnew-Keynesian\u201d economic paradigm, which is based on heavy bureaucratic regulation of all markets and increasingly less freedom for entrepreneurs and innovators, is unsustainable? Yes, we have been lamenting the new-Keynesian model, but only now has that model been challenged on practice.<\/p>\n
SVET Markets Weekly Update – March 17\u201321, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Week 12<\/span>, major indexes corrected upward marginally after a month of decline, primarily due to technical overselling, along with the Fed holding rates unchanged and Powell suggesting that the inflationary influence of tariffs on the economy is \u201ctransitory.\u201d<\/p>\n
Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Monday<\/span>, stocks continued Friday\u2019s rebound, encouraged by an absence of negativity coming from the White House, despite the manufacturing index dropping to the lowest level in two years and the increasing pressure on the Fed due to input prices rising the fastest during that period, as well as rapidly declining business optimism and weak capital spending. The housing index plunged to a seven-month low, despite some relief on the regulatory side.<\/p>\n

Comment: Economic Consequences of the MAGAntilism.<\/em><\/p>\n
According to the OECD, the White House\u2019s \u2018tariff games\u2019 have already cost the G20 a -0.2% growth in 2025, followed by -0.3% in 2026, which includes -0.2% for the American economy (with GDP growth cut from 2.2% to 1.9%). In dollar terms, this would result in a \u201cred-ink\u201d of USD -430B for the OECD, including USD -60B for America.<\/p>\n
Essentially, Americans will pay the price of tariffs nearly equivalent to the Trump Official Coin market capitalization at its peak on January 20 (~USD 50B).<\/p>\n
On the other hand, tariffs have played well into China\u2019s hands, with the economy now expected to rise by +4.8% (up from 4.7% previously). Additionally, we see more second-and third-tier economies benefiting from a new redistribution of trade due to geopolitics and tariffs. For example, Indonesia\u2019s exports of vegetable oil, iron, steel, and machinery have skyrocketed to a two-year high, with deliveries particularly increasing to the USA and China.<\/p>\n
Therefore, we are doing remarkably well, aligning closely with my early forecasts of the economic consequences of the White House\u2019s new policy of \u2018MAGAntilism.\u2019<\/p>\n
Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n
On\u00a0Tuesday<\/span>, equities are down due to technical volatility in response to mixed economic data, with increasing industrial production and soaring housing starts (a seasonal effect resulting from spring resurgence after delays due to snowstorms and low temperatures), but declining building permits, which have reached a five-month low.<\/p>\n

Wednesday <\/strong><\/p>\n
On Wednesday<\/span>, stocks rallied after the Fed held rates steady, as expected, and signaled two rate cuts later this year. The S&P, Dow and Nasdaq jumped. The Fed\u2019s softer economic outlook, with weaker growth, higher unemployment, and elevated inflation projections, fueled expectations of rate cuts. Tech stocks Nvidia, Broadcom and Alphabet held gains, while Tesla surged after securing $1 billion in funding. The Fed\u2019s slower balance sheet reduction boosted liquidity, lifting market sentiment. The Fed lowered growth forecasts but raised inflation expectations, though Powell called tariff impacts \u2018transitory\u2019. Markets now price in two 2024 rate cuts, with the first likely in June or July. Investors await jobless claims data for labor market insights.<\/p>\n
