Manic Monday on Wall Street Very Nice

Jagshemash, America. Borat here, reporting live from… well, not from Kazakhstan, but from the heart of your financial district. Yesterday, Wall Street experienced a 'Manic Monday,' like when I try to understand Pamela Anderson – very confusing. New tariffs and those scary robots doing AI caused the Dow to drop like my pants at a Kazakhstani wedding. IBM had its worst day since 2000, probably because Claude Code is now writing software faster than I can milk a horse. The financial stocks, including American Express and Mastercard, pulled back after some Citrini Research post raised alarm about how AI could drive up unemployment and hinder the economy. Is like someone telling me my neighbor Nursultan Tulyakbay is better at making grape juice than me - DISASTER.

The Tariff Tumble A Big Problem

The Supreme Court made a decision about tariffs, and now everyone is running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Economists are trying to figure out what your President Trump's new global tariffs mean for the economy. FedEx is suing the government for a refund, claiming they were unfairly charged – like when I was charged extra for 'cultural sensitivity training' after my visit to the WASP party. Even your Congressional Democrats are trying to give refunds. It is all very complicated, like trying to explain to my wife, how I accidentally sold our cow for a used iPhone.

Meta's Double Dip Into the Chip Market

In a move that surprised many, your Meta, the one with all the faces, announced a deal with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to use their graphic processing units. This is like when I tried to date two sisters at the same time – very ambitious. But AMD’s CEO Lisa Su will be on your CNBC to talk about it. This is good news for AMD, which has been behind Nvidia in the AI chip market. Shares of AMD soaring like rocket after launch of Sputnik - very impressive.

The GLP-1 Pen Revolution Very Niiice

Eli Lilly, the company that makes Zepbound, now has a new version that gives you a whole month's worth of medicine in one pen. This is like getting a whole month of horse milk in one jug. It is more convenient for patients, they say. Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk, they have been losing big time, like when i lost arm wrestling competition with my monkey, because their weight loss medicine did not work as well as Eli Lilly’s. Their shares went down like a lead balloon, while Eli Lilly’s went up, very niiice.

Mexico in Mayhem a Big Problem

Over the weekend, there was a big problem in Mexico. The military, with help from your U.S. intelligence, killed the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. This has caused violence and problems for air freight, trucking, and ports. Even tourism has been affected, with Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line canceling trips, like when I tried to run a petting zoo in New York, and people were too scared of my bear. Passenger airlines, the ones that carry half the air freight, canceled flights also. Is big problem for everyone.

The Daily Dividend Very Important

Trading volumes in leveraged funds and options have gone up a lot since the pandemic. This is according to data from Direxion. So, be careful with your money. Like my uncle, he invested all his money in a gypsie and now he lives on the street and he does not have a wife.
