MARKET OUTLOOK

Nasdaq Hits 20,000!

Big news in the world of tech: the Nasdaq Composite broke the 20,000 barrier for the first time ever on Wednesday! šŸŽ‰ Even with some ups and downs in the broader market, the Nasdaq ended the week on a high note, creeping up by 0.52%.

It wasn’t smooth sailing for everyone, though. Tesla took a victory lap with new all-time highs, while Nvidia stumbled a bit. But all eyes are now on Nvidia’s upcoming earnings report—it’s set to be a make-or-break moment for the AI hype train. šŸš€

Speaking of AI, Broadcom stole the spotlight this week with a jaw-dropping 25% jump in its share price. Thanks to strong AI-related revenue growth, the company’s market cap skyrocketed past $1 trillion. Broadcom’s performance is proof that the AI boom is far from slowing down. šŸ’”

Savvy Investors Know Where to Get Their News—Do You?

Here’s the truth: there is no magic formula when it comes to building wealth.

Much of the mainstream financial media is designed to drive traffic, not good decision-making. Whether it’s disingenuous headlines or relentless scare tactics used to generate clicks, modern business news was not built to serve individual investors.

Luckily, we have The Daily Upside. Created by Wall Street insiders and bankers, this fresh, insightful newsletter delivers valuable insights that go beyond the headlines.

S&P 500 Slows Down

After hitting a record high last week, the S&P 500 hit the brakes on Monday, slipping 0.6%. By the end of the week, it was down 0.74%—not exactly the rally investors were hoping for.

Consumer discretionary stocks were the bright spot, showing some gains, but it wasn’t such a great week for industrials, materials, healthcare, or tech. Those sectors dragged the index lower, keeping it out of the green.

Wednesday’s release of the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) grabbed plenty of attention. Investors were laser-focused on how it might influence the Fed’s next moves. Meanwhile, last week’s jobs data boosted confidence in the economy, adding fuel to the idea that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates again soon. šŸ¦

FINAL THOUGHTS

It’s been a week of milestones, surprises, and anticipation. The Nasdaq made history with its 20,000 breakthrough, Tesla and Broadcom kept the tech hype alive, and everyone’s holding their breath for Nvidia’s big earnings. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 reminded us that markets don’t just go up, with a slight pullback driven by mixed sector performance.

With CPI data and Federal Reserve decisions looming, there’s a lot of uncertainty in the air—but also plenty of opportunity. Stay sharp, keep an eye on the headlines, and don’t forget to enjoy the ride. After all, the markets are as much about patience as they are about momentum! šŸš€šŸ“ˆ
