Year To Date Performances:

1. Young Americans, increasingly anxious about the economy, are turning to social media to joke about unconventional “recession indicators,” from declining Depop prices to DoorDash’s new buy-now-pay-later option. While these quips serve as gallows humor, they reflect real financial concerns, especially as consumer sentiment among 18-to-34-year-olds has fallen despite rising confidence in other age groups. With housing costs, debt, and economic uncertainty under President Trump weighing on them, young adults—many without assets to cushion downturns—feel the “vibes are off,” even as economists debate the likelihood of a recession.

2. Lululemon shares plunged over 10% after its 2025 guidance fell short of Wall Street expectations, despite beating earnings and revenue estimates for Q4. CEO Calvin McDonald cited inflation and economic concerns as key factors weighing on U.S. consumer spending, mirroring broader retail trends amid uncertainty over Trump’s tariffs. While international sales surged 20%, domestic comparable sales remained flat. CFO Meghan Frank warned of margin pressures from tariffs, foreign exchange rates, and rising fixed costs, contributing to weaker-than-expected profit forecasts.

3. Trump's new 25% tariffs on imported cars and key auto parts are set to spike vehicle prices for U.S. consumers, with Wall Street analysts estimating increases between $4,000 and $15,000 per car. While Tesla, with its domestic production, is the least affected, CEO Elon Musk acknowledged higher costs due to imported parts. Analysts warn that the tariffs will disrupt the global automotive supply chain, with U.S. automakers likely raising prices as well. The tariffs take effect April 3 and are intended to be permanent, adding further economic uncertainty.

4. Headlines

   1. Putin claims that Trump’s threats to annex Greenland should be taken seriously.

   2. CoreWeave has priced its IPO at $40/share, which is below expectations.
