Summary
You ever watch Wall Street do its wild dance when trade talks get cozy? It’s like watching a kid with candy. For three whole days, those tech titans were strutting their stuff because, you know, USA and China might finally stop bickering. But hey, while everyone’s high-fiving over here, the old Global Growth ghost looms. The IMF’s like, "Hey folks, 2025 ain’t lookin’ so hot at 2.8% because, well, tariffs and tensions are still throwing their weight around." Meanwhile, Apple’s shimmying over to India and semiconductors are making it rain, even though consumer staples are snoozing at the party.
Growth Picks Performance
Okay, so let’s talk numbers without turning your brain into mush. Growth Picks – bam! 169% total returns, giving S&P 500 a run for its money at 71%. The annual growth rate? Growth Picks at 19%, while S&P 500’s chilling at 10.6%. Wanna deep dive? Yeah, there’s a link somewhere for that.
Markets Rally on Trade Optimism
Ah, US equities and their little victory lap. All because the U.S. and China might sit down and play nice. Tech stocks? Oh boy, they’re having a field day. Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom – yeah, those guys are laughing all the way to the bank. Someone made a comment… blah blah, and off they go. It’s like a soap opera but with spreadsheets.
And there you have it, chaos in a market nutshell.
