OVERVIEW
The Weekend Rip: May 25, 2025

Happy Sunday, and happy Memorial Day! The U.S.A. would be nothing without the sacrifices of those who serve our country. Thank you to all who have served. Those who gave the ultimate sacrifice protecting our ideals will never be forgotten. 🦅 

The market ended last week lower after hitting a 25-day peak. This upcoming week, all eyes are watching one thing: Nvidia. The chip-making giant will have to defend itself in the new tariff economy for relying on massive imports for its massive earnings. We’ll be watching Wednesday night! 📉 

Let’s recap and prep you for the week ahead. 📝

What Happened?

The FDA announced new guidelines requiring clinical trials for annual COVID booster approvals in healthy adults, while Bitcoin and Ethereum surged as the Senate advanced the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins.

⚡️ On Wednesday, according to Bloomberg, the market fell for the second day as a record-high 20-year bond auction pushed yields up, pressuring equities. OpenAI announced plans to acquire Jony Ive’s AI device startup for $5 billion, signaling a move into wearable AI hardware, while Google partnered with Warby Parker on smart glasses.

Snowflake posted strong Q1 results but fell post-market, UnitedHealth faced scrutiny over Medicare Advantage practices, and Bitcoin hit a record high before pulling back on macroeconomic uncertainty.

Hinge Health and MNTN debuted strong IPOs, while solar stocks plunged after the tax bill cut clean energy incentives. Advance Auto Parts surprised investors with upbeat guidance despite a tariff-heavy environment, while BYD surpassed Tesla in European EV sales for the first time.
