Quick Glance: Meta lowers revenue growth expectations for the second quarter

Meta forecasted that second-quarter revenue is expected to fall below market expectations, suggesting that hopes for the potential of new AI tools may be tempered.

The company also increased its forecast for expenses this year to support its investments in new AI products and the necessary computing infrastructure.

In the first quarter, Meta increased its daily active users (DAU) by 7%, a metric that tracks unique users of their apps Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or WhatsApp in a day.

In addition to their internal efforts, Meta benefits from regulatory pressure on TikTok, a Chinese-owned short video competitor facing the potential threat of a U.S. ban.

Quick Glance: Overview: Tesla Stocks Plummet, Europe Business Surpasses Expectations

World markets have brightened slightly this week, but Tesla is facing a critical earnings test, while Europe's business pulse has surprisingly been lively this month.

Following the worst week on Wall Street since 2022, relief from easing Middle East tensions helped stabilize the situation on Monday. The chip giant Nvidia made a modest recovery from losses as Big Tech megacaps gear up for quarterly earnings releases.

As the first of the 'Magnificent 7' Vanguard stocks, electric vehicle giant Tesla will report on Tuesday, having plummeted by a substantial 43% year-to-date and nearly 60% over the past two years amidst fierce price competition, declining EV demand, and governance/product concerns.

While Big Tech jitters define this month's market fluctuations, investors will closely watch the upcoming results for a clearer perspective.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Quick Glance: A Swift Tech-Stock Bubble and Burst in Three Weeks

The value proposition of buying shares of Truth Social's parent company revolves around Donald Trump's ability to make you wealthy, a unique focus.

Trump's history of promising financial gains extends to the realm of Truth Social stock, which currently presents a stark contrast.

The current trajectory of Trump's stock value compared to its initial rise creates a tech-stock bubble phenomenon.

Examining what Truth Social offers without the Trump factor reveals its foundation as a social network built on Mastodon, lacking technical uniqueness.
