BATMMAAN Takes Over Wall Street: Nvidia, Big Tech Earnings & Fed Fog
Description
This week on Market Maker, we unpack three big themes moving markets. Nvidia briefly hit a $5 trillion valuation before a Trump–Xi meeting wiped billions off the stock. We explain what happened and what it reveals about AI hype and geopolitics.
We then break down big tech earnings: Alphabet soared while Meta slumped, despite similar numbers. Is “BATMMAAN” the new “Magnificent 7”? And finally, the Fed cut rates—but Powell’s fog analogy hints at rising uncertainty ahead.
Whether you’re a student, prepping for interviews, or just want clear market insights, we’ve got you covered.
