Year To Date Performances:

1. CoreWeave shares tumbled nearly 10% Monday, falling well below their $40 IPO price after a lackluster debut on Friday. The Nvidia-backed AI cloud provider had initially aimed for a $47–$55 price range but downsized its offering amid weak demand. CoreWeave’s IPO—the largest tech debut since 2021—was seen as a test for a sluggish market, but new tariffs and economic uncertainty have dampened enthusiasm for tech stocks. Despite reporting 737% revenue growth to $1.92 billion last year, the company posted a hefty $863 million net loss.

2. U.S. GDP growth slowed to just 0.3% in Q1, the weakest since 2022, as Trump’s tariffs and policy uncertainty fuel stagflation concerns, according to CNBC’s Rapid Update. Consumer spending remains sluggish, and a surge in imports ahead of tariffs is dragging GDP down. While most economists predict a gradual rebound, some warn of recession risks if trade tensions and government job cuts continue. Meanwhile, stubborn inflation around 2.9% complicates Fed rate cuts, potentially delaying economic relief.

3. Elon Musk blames backlash over his role in Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for Tesla’s stock slump, saying political pressure has halved its value since December. Speaking at a Wisconsin town hall, Musk defended his push for government job cuts but acknowledged protests, vandalism, and investor unease. Tesla’s struggles also stem from declining sales and global trade tensions, with analysts trimming forecasts. Despite the turmoil, Musk called the dip a “buying opportunity.”

4. Headlines

   1. Vaccine stocks are down after FDA official Peter Marks resigned in response to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s skepticism about vaccine safety.

   2. Stocks saw a significant sell off ahead of Trump’s “liberation day”.
