| Market recap
Last week, despite the influence of the Fed's decisions and a significant expiration of options, major indices experienced slight increases, signaling a "gradual return to normalcy."
Notably, while $NASDAQ Golden Dragon China Index(HXC)$ dipped nearly 2%, $Zhihu(ZH)$ surged 8%, and $ZEEKR(ZK)$ rose over 3%.
Megacaps - He’ll be back
Fueled by $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$'s rally, Team U.S. saw significant gains, with $Rivian Automotive, Inc.(RIVN)$ up 6.6%, $Lucid Group Inc(LCID)$ up 6.1%, and $Lotus Technology(LOT)$ up 5.3%, while Chinese counterparts experienced slight declines. On March 21, Musk announced during a live stream on X that Tesla plans to prototype 5,000 humanoid robots, named Optimus, by 2025, aiming for a production target of 50,000 by 2026.
Memes - Frenzy's back!
Smells like…animal spirits. Retail investors are jumping into TSLA, reviving the meme stock craze. Last Friday, $Reddit(RDDT)$ rose 6.4%, $GameStop(GME)$ increased by 5.3%, $Roblox Corporation(RBLX)$ went up 5.6%, and $Roku Inc(ROKU)$ gained 6.1%. Recently, retail investors have also begun to invade the European market, anticipating substantial increases in military spending. Consequently, German defense stocks like Renk Group and Hensoldt, along with the French satellite company Eutelsat, saw their prices skyrocket, outpacing the broader defense sector.
Top Movers - Drone, medical
Healthcare stocks led the gains, propelled by the momentum from AI healthcare stocks $Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ and $Tempus AI(TEM)$. The market saw healthcare services $agilon health, inc.(AGL)$ up 10.5%, medical care $Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp(ADPT)$ up 8.4%, and genetic diagnostics $GeneDx Holdings(WGS)$ up 7.9%.
Optimism surrounding drones is on the rise as well, with $Unusual Machines Inc(UMAC)$ gaining 6.5%, $Archer Aviation Inc.(ACHR)$ up 5.3%, $Red Cat Holdings Inc.(RCAT)$ rising 3.6%, and $EHang Holdings Ltd(EH)$ up 1.7%.
In the Asian market, $HSTECH(HSTECH)$ rebounded by 1.7%, with $XIAOMI-W(01810)$ (+4.2%), $LI AUTO-W(02015)$ (+3.9%), and $XPENG-W(09868)$ (+3.3%) leading the charge.
| A feast against the bearish market
Last week, $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ rose 3.07%, marking two consecutive weeks of gains. In contrast to the broad market’s evident weakness, the energy sector has carved out an independent rally.
The largest U.S. oil ETF, $United States Oil Fund LP(USO)$, has also experienced two weeks of increases. Current trends indicate a cautiously optimistic attitude from investors toward the energy sector.
Looking ahead, as the global economy continues its recovery, escalating energy demand will likely channel more capital into this sector.
| Meet the energy frenzy boosters
The rising trend in energy stocks presents lucrative investment opportunities.
NFE - Surging 8% last Friday and another 8% pre-market
$New Fortress Energy LLC(NFE)$ is a global integrated gas-to-power infrastructure company focused on meeting the substantial and growing global electricity demand through natural gas.
Recent executive stock purchases, positive developments in the company's liquefied natural gas projects in Mexico, coupled with the upward trend in global energy prices, are all potential positive catalysts.
The company's stock has been on an upward trajectory, surging 8% last Friday and another 8% in pre-market trading today.
CVX - 6 consecutive trading days of gains
$Chevron(CVX)$ is a global leader in oil and gas. Prior to last Friday, the company had seen 6 consecutive trading days of gains.
In an environment where energy demand is underestimated, the company exhibits strong resistance to risks, along with a nearly 4% dividend yield.
As a deep-pocket player in the energy sector, it remains a solid investment choice.
CELH - Up 21% over the past week
$Celsius Holdings, Inc.(CELH)$ focuses on energy...drinks, actually. Over the past week, its stock price has risen by 21%.
Following the release of its latest earnings report, the company’s performance showed signs of recovery, entering a new growth phase.
Celsius has become a favorite among retail investors, with discussions on social media highlighting the stock’s rebound after reaching a critical support level.
