Nasdaq Laughs Off Losses: A Funny Take on Recent Economic Data
It’s no joke that the stock market can be unpredictable, but investors are breathing a sigh of relief as the Nasdaq Composite (COMP.IND) shook off recent losses and gained 1.35% in morning trade. Here’s a humorous take on the recent economic data that’s contributing to the market’s levity:
March’s producer price index gave us an unexpected surprise by slipping 0.5% M/M instead of increasing as projected. Even on a Y/Y basis, PPI only came in at +2.7% compared to the consensus of +3.0%. Looks like inflationary pressures might be having a little fun with us this month.

Tech Stocks Party Like It’s 1999
Tech stocks are leading the way, with Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), and Amazon (AMZN) making solid gains. The tech-heavy Nasdaq is even on track to snap a three-day losing streak! It’s like we’re back in the ’90s, and the dot-com bubble never burst.

Enphase Energy and SolarEdge Technologies Are Shining Bright

Progressive (PGR) may have taken a step backward by posting an earnings miss, but we’ll give them a pass. After all, everyone’s allowed to have an off day, right?
The stock market can be unpredictable, but today it seems to be having a good laugh.
