Year To Date Performances:

1. Elon Musk's X has partnered with Visa to launch the "X Money Account," a digital wallet enabling peer-to-peer payments and fund transfers between traditional bank accounts and the platform. This move marks X's first step toward creating a financial ecosystem, aligning with Musk's vision of an "everything app" that integrates social media with financial services. Licensed in 41 U.S. states and registered with FinCEN, X Payments LLC is set to roll out the service in Q1 2025, initially targeting content creators who can store and receive payments directly on the platform. Further partnerships and potential banking features, such as high-yield accounts, are expected to follow.

2. Nvidia shares rebounded slightly on Tuesday, gaining over 2%, after a historic $595 billion market cap loss on Monday triggered by Chinese startup DeepSeek’s release of a low-cost, open-source AI model that outperformed OpenAI in some tests. While DeepSeek’s breakthrough raises concerns about increased competition and potential deflation in AI costs, Nvidia called the development an “excellent AI advancement.” Analysts largely maintained positive outlooks on Nvidia, citing the potential for faster generative AI adoption across industries. Despite the recovery, Nvidia’s stock remains 23% below its peak earlier this month, with ongoing concerns about AI market volatility and geopolitical risks.

4. OpenAI has announced ChatGPT Gov, a secure AI platform tailored for U.S. government use, marking its most significant launch since ChatGPT Enterprise. Designed to operate within government-controlled Microsoft Azure environments, the platform allows agencies to safely use AI for tasks like drafting policies, translating documents, and analyzing data. OpenAI emphasizes security and compliance while acknowledging AI's risks, including bias and privacy concerns. ChatGPT Gov is expected to debut soon, with defense, law enforcement, and healthcare poised to benefit. Amid global AI competition, OpenAI underscores the need for U.S. leadership, even as its alignment with the Trump administration sparks scrutiny over potential regulatory influences.

5. Headlines

   1. Investors are backing “food-as-medicine” startups, hoping that the Make America Healthy Again push will drive up the value of these companies.

   2. JetBlue shares fell 25% after a lower-than-expected forecast.
