Market News

📉 Stocks slip as rate-cut bets power gold to new high
Wall Street hit pause Monday after a record-breaking run, with futures for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 all slipping about 0.4%. This cooldown comes after the Fed’s first rate cut of 2025, a move that thrilled markets but raised questions about its timing. Meanwhile, gold soared past $3,750, hitting a fresh all-time high as rate-cut bets mounted. Eyes now turn to the PCE inflation data, which could either reinforce or shake the Fed’s cautious stance.

👀 BYD’s Stock Falls After Report Buffett Sold His Entire Stake
BYD shares slid 3.4% Monday, marking their biggest drop in three weeks after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway fully exited its position in the Chinese EV giant, per CNBC. The investment, once 225 million shares strong, is now valued at zero as of March 31, according to filings. Buffett first bought into BYD back in 2008, and saw a massive 4,500% gain before winding down the position. Berkshire began trimming its stake in 2022, and by last year, fell below the 5% disclosure threshold on the Hong Kong exchange.

🇮🇳 Indian tech stocks slump nearly 3% after Trump imposes hefty H-1B visa fees
Indian tech stocks slid nearly 3% Monday after President Donald Trump announced a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, a sharp policy move that sent shockwaves through the IT sector. With 71% of 2024’s H-1B visas going to Indian nationals, the impact was immediate and deep. Mphasis (-4%), Persistent Systems (-3.8%), and LTIMindtree (-3.79%) led losses across the Nifty IT index, where 9 of 10 stocks ended in the red. Experts warn this could push Indian firms to offshore more U.S. jobs, which boosts margins but cuts headline revenue.

🟩 Luxshare shares pop 10% on report of OpenAI Deal
Luxshare shares surged 10% Monday after reports it struck a deal with OpenAI to build a consumer AI device, potentially rivaling Apple’s Siri-powered products. The Shenzhen-listed firm is already prototyping the gadget using ChatGPT tech, with a launch eyed for 2026 or 2027, according to The Information. The boost brings Luxshare’s 2025 gains to 50%, and talk of a Hong Kong secondary listing is also gaining momentum.

🔻 $1.7 billion in liquidations sweep crypto markets as bitcoin drops
Crypto markets were rocked by $1.7 billion in liquidations over the past 24 hours, with $1.62 billion wiped from long positions, per Coinglass data. A staggering $1.09 billion vanished in just four hours, marking one of the most brutal shakeouts in recent months. More than 404,000 traders got liquidated, including a single $12.74 million BTC-USDT swap on OKX, the biggest individual hit recorded.

Invest & Strategies

⚖️ Picasso or Bitcoin? How art’s status is changing among the super-rich
The art market is currently plateauing, with major auction houses reporting relatively flat sales in the first half of 2025, while high transaction costs and geopolitical turmoil deter wealthy buyers. These wealthy clients are increasingly thinking "in a more financial way", as over 50% of auctioned art lots sold for prices representing negative compound annual returns. Competing investments, notably Bitcoin and gold, offered significantly better returns, leading to massive capital flow into funds like BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF

 Why the 4% Rule is More Like the 2% Rule
The classic 4% retirement rule may be outdated, with real-world data showing retirees often withdraw closer to just 2%. Research from David Blanchett and Michael Finke reveals that even well-off retirees are spending far less than expected, often due to psychological fears of outliving their money. Despite having enough, many avoid touching principal, clinging to income alone. Interestingly, annuities help some break that mindset, offering steady “paychecks” that encourage actual spending.

💰️ Artificially Feeling Poor May Help You Grow Rich One Day
What if feeling broke is the secret to building wealth? It sounds backwards, but intentionally keeping your checking account low might just be the motivation you need to spend less, hustle more, and save aggressively. When your account looks empty, you act like it, and that means less lifestyle creep and more financial discipline. Transferring idle cash to a brokerage earning 4%+ not only boosts returns, it keeps you sharp. Fake scarcity = real results.

🧠 These Overlooked AI Stocks Could Deliver Market-Beating Returns
AI spending is projected to hit $4 trillion by 2030, and while big tech grabs the spotlight, smaller players could quietly deliver explosive returns. A few under-the-radar AI stocks are now catching interest for their growth potential. These mid-cap innovators are positioned to ride the AI wave, especially as demand for infrastructure and smart solutions surges.
