US Stocks Surge as Tech Stocks Lead Gains
- Tech Stocks Rally: The Nasdaq 100 surged 2.08% to reach an all-time high on Wednesday, driven by stellar earnings from chipmakers and AI infrastructure firms, particularly Advanced Micro Devices, which rose over 17% as it raised its full-year sales forecast, reflecting strong investor optimism about ongoing AI investments.
- Crude Oil Plunge: WTI crude oil prices fell more than 7% to a two-week low as market expectations for a US-Iran peace agreement increased, easing inflation fears and contributing to stock market gains, with the 10-year Treasury yield dropping to a one-week low of 4.33%.
- Employment Data Impact: The April ADP employment report indicated that US companies added 109,000 jobs, below the expected 120,000, yet the market remains optimistic about the Fed's monetary policy, believing it will help maintain a low interest rate environment.
- International Market Surge: Overseas stock markets closed sharply higher, with the Euro Stoxx 50 rising 2.68% and China's Shanghai Composite gaining 1.17%, indicating a positive global market response to the US economic recovery, further boosting investor confidence.

Coupang Shares Plunge After Disappointing Q1 Results
- Disappointing Earnings: Coupang reported an 8% revenue increase in Q1, but a sharp net loss due to costs from last year's data breach led to a 13.70% drop in share price to $17.91, reducing market cap to $38 billion, highlighting challenges in regaining investor trust.
- Surge in Trading Volume: Trading volume reached 79.9 million shares, approximately 238% above the three-month average of 23.6 million shares, indicating strong market reaction to Coupang's earnings report and heightened investor sentiment volatility.
- Membership Recovery: Management noted that 80% of WOW memberships lost due to the breach had returned by April, suggesting some progress in restoring customer trust, although overall financial performance remains under pressure.
- Growth Potential: Coupang's Developing Offerings segment saw a 25% sales increase, with significant growth from its expansion in Taiwan, while its food delivery service and nascent Japanese operations continue to scale, indicating potential in diversifying its business.

SpaceX Plans Historic IPO Targeting $1.75 Trillion Valuation
- IPO Filing: Last month, SpaceX confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the SEC, planning to kick off its roadshow on June 8 to pitch the stock to institutional investors and analysts, although a specific IPO date has not been set, trading is expected to commence in late June or early July.
- Valuation Target: The company is aiming for a staggering $1.75 trillion valuation, which would make it the largest IPO in U.S. history; however, historical trends indicate that IPO stocks often underperform in their first year, prompting investors to exercise caution.
- Historical Performance Insights: Data shows that since 1980, around 9,300 companies have gone public on the NYSE or Nasdaq, with IPO stocks gaining an average of 19% on their first trading day, yet those with large market values frequently experience sharp declines after initial excitement fades.
- Long-Term Investment Risks: While SpaceX may perform well in the long run, most large IPO stocks historically have underperformed the S&P 500 post-listing, suggesting that investors might be better off investing in an S&P 500 index fund rather than directly purchasing SpaceX shares.
