Year To Date Performances:

1. U.S. inflation accelerated in January, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.5% month-over-month and 3% year-over-year—both above expectations—while core CPI increased 0.4% and 3.3%, respectively. Rising shelter costs, surging food prices (notably a 15.2% spike in eggs), and higher energy costs contributed to the uptick. Markets reacted negatively, with stocks falling and bond yields rising as traders pushed back expectations for a Fed rate cut to September. Donald Trump reignited pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, posting on Truth Social that lower rates should "go hand in hand with upcoming Tariffs." Fed Chair Jerome Powell, however, reiterated that policymakers are in no rush to ease rates.

2. Lyft shares tumbled over 9% after reporting underwhelming Q4 results and weak bookings guidance, as the company slashed prices to stay competitive. Revenue missed expectations at $1.55 billion, and gross bookings came in below forecasts at $4.28 billion. Lyft expects further booking slowdowns due to pricing pressures and the loss of its Delta partnership. Despite these challenges, it announced a $500-million share buyback and plans to launch Mobileye-powered robotaxis in Dallas by 2026.

3. Apple has launched the Apple Health Study, a multi-year research initiative examining how its devices—iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches—can monitor, manage, and predict changes in users’ health. Conducted in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the study will explore links between physical and mental health. Available through Apple’s Research app, participation is voluntary, with users controlling their data-sharing preferences. Apple, which previously introduced health studies in women’s health, hearing, and heart health, sees this initiative as key to shaping future product development, aligning with CEO Tim Cook’s vision of health tech as the company’s greatest contribution.

4. Headlines

   1. The NYSE is launching an exchange in Texas.

   2. Berkshire Hathaway doubled down on its Occidental position buying more stock after a 30% drop in price.
