ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood stated that the U.S. economy is approaching the end of a "Rolling Recession" and is about to usher in unprecedented productivity growth driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies. She predicted that the U.S. GDP growth rate will reach 7.3%, and believes that the largest productivity growth in history is imminent, despite weak short-term economic data. She believes that technologies such as AI, genetic technology, automation, and cryptocurrencies will drive global economic transformation and form a positive cycle with the Trump administration's tax cuts and deregulation policies. In addition, she pointed out that since SEC Chairman Gary Gensler stepped down, the U.S. government's attitude towards the crypto industry is changing, and Washington is embracing a "digital asset revolution." Wood believes that the current market funds are mainly concentrated in the "MAG7" (seven major tech giants), but will shift towards a wider range of innovative stocks in the future, specifically mentioning that ChatGPT still dominates, but Elon Musk's Grok is growing faster, and open-source AI models (such as DeepSeek, Meta's Llama, and possible future open-source versions of Grok) will become important trends. However, the market's reaction to her views has been negative, with many investors questioning her investment strategy and believing that her optimism towards the economic policies of the Trump administration, especially regarding tariff policies and tax cuts, could lead to an expansion of the fiscal deficit, while the ARK Innovation ETF has lagged behind the S&P 500 since the major drop in 2022. Nevertheless, Wood remains firm in her belief that the U.S. economy will enter one of the strongest bull markets in history, and states that if new technologies such as AI drive deflation, the U.S. will experience unprecedented economic growth.

Trump reversed his stance on Canadian tariff policies multiple times on Tuesday, causing a "roller coaster" market. At the opening, the major US stock indexes rose, but then Trump announced a 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum, causing the three major indexes to fall. Shortly after, news came out that this policy was suspended and both sides would renegotiate, but the downward trend in the US stock market remained. In the afternoon, the market changed again as Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire. Large-cap tech stocks rebounded, pushing the US stock market to hit new daily highs, but the market weakened again towards the end of the day. At the close, all three major indexes fell, with the Dow falling 1.14%, the S&P 500 falling 0.76%, and the Nasdaq falling 0.18%. Most of the big tech stocks rose.

Cynthia Lummis, a US senator friendly to encryption and chairman of the US Senate Banking Committee's digital asset subcommittee, has resubmitted a new version of the Bitcoin Reserve Act. The latest version will allow the US government to hold more than 1 million bitcoins, as long as these bitcoins are obtained through legal means other than direct purchase, such as civil or criminal forfeiture, gift to the United States, or transfer from a federal agency. The previous version of the bill required a total acquisition of 1 million bitcoins within five years. In addition, the new bill also establishes an evaluation process for Bitcoin fork assets and airdropped assets in reserves, requiring all fork assets to be held in reserves and not sold or disposed of within five years unless authorized by law.

Goldman Sachs has lowered its year-end target for the S&P 500 index from 6,500 points to 6,200 points by 2025, reflecting the institution's adjustment of its fair forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio from 21.5 times to 20.6 times, a decrease of 4%. At the same time, the expected earnings per share (EPS) of index component stocks have been lowered, with the 2024 EPS expectation dropping from $268 to $262, and the 2025 expectation dropping from $288 to $280. 

the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for February at 20:30 tonight (Beijing time). The market expects inflation to ease slightly but still remain above the Federal Reserve's target.

despite the rebound in Bitcoin prices, Presto Research analyst Min Jung believes that Tuesday's increase only represents a slight correction after the recent sharp decline in the market. "We see the market recovering, but it is more like a slight rebound after yesterday's crash, with no dominant news driving this trend," Jung said. "In addition, the stock market closed slightly lower that day, rather than another major sell-off." Investors are now focusing on the release of the U.S. Consumer Price Index on Wednesday, which is a key indicator of inflation. "Today's CPI release will be a major event, as the entire market is watching the inflation trend and how the Fed will respond," Jung said. LVRG Research director Nick Ruck pointed out, "While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have eased somewhat, this rebound is just correcting the overly cautious risk aversion sentiment." The price increase was partly driven by the news that Trump canceled the 50% tariff plan on Canadian steel and aluminum that was originally scheduled to take effect on Wednesday. Earlier on Tuesday, Ukraine agreed to Trump's proposed 30-day ceasefire, and the U.S. leader is now seeking dialogue with Russian President Putin to end the conflict between the two countries. Kronos Research Chief Investment Officer Vincent Liu reminded that although tariffs have not been universally implemented to disrupt market momentum, volatility and macroeconomic risks still need to be treated with caution.
