Economic Flashpoints: What to Watch for Market Volatility in Late March 2025
This week, spanning March 24 to March 28, 2025, a slate of economic data releases promises to inject fresh uncertainty into already jittery markets. With U.S. policy shifts under the Trump administration—particularly tariff threats—clouding the outlook, and the Federal Reserve balancing growth concerns against persistent inflation, these events could trigger sharp moves across equities, bonds, and currencies. Here’s a refined look at the key catalysts, enriched with additional data, and their potential market impacts. Key Economic Events to Watch 1. Flash Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) Data (Monday, March 24) Details: S&P Global’s Flash PMI surveys for manufacturing (prior: 46.8, consensus: 47.2) and services (prior: 51.6, consensus: 52.0) provide an early March pulse.

Snap Judgment: A Short-Term Stumble or a Long-Term Winner?
Peeling Back the Layers of Snap’s 18% Tumble An 18% drop in Snap’s share price is enough to make any investor do a double take. Is this the market’s way of throwing in the towel, or an open invitation for the savvy investor to step in? While some may see this as a sign to bail, I see an opportunity hiding beneath the surface. AR: The Untapped Goldmine Hiding in Plain Sight Snapchat has long been known for its quirky AR filters—turning users into puppies, aliens, and everything in between. But beneath this playful exterior lies something far more valuable: an augmented reality ecosystem that is quietly reshaping e-commerce. Over 250 million daily active users engage with AR features, and usage is growing at a staggering 15% year-over-year. Fear distorts reality—vision uncovers opportunity i

The S&P 500 is a market-capitalization-weighted index, meaning that the weight of each company in the index is proportional to its market capitalization. Here's how it works step-by-step: Market Capitalization Calculation: Market capitalization (or "market cap") for each company is calculated by multiplying its current stock price by the total number of outstanding shares. Formula: Market Cap = Stock Price × Number of Outstanding Shares. Float Adjustment: The S&P 500 uses a "float-adjusted" market cap rather than the total market cap. This means only the shares available for public trading (the "free float") are considered, excluding shares held by insiders, governments, or other locked-in investors. This gives a more accurate representation of a company's market value
$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing stock is climbing following recent comments from CEO Jensen Huang.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM 2.17%) stock posted gains in Thursday's trading despite a pullback for the broader market. The company's share price rose 2.1% in the daily session. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 closed out the day down 0.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 0.4% in the session. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) stock is gaining
How NVIDIA (NVDA) Stock Stands Out in a Strong Industry
$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ One stock that might be an intriguing choice for investors right now is NVIDIA Corporation NVDA. This is because this security in the Semiconductor - General space is seeing solid earnings estimate revision activity, and is in great company from a Zacks Industry Rank perspective. This is important because, often times, a rising tide will lift all boats in an industry, as there can be broad trends taking place in a segment that are boosting securities across the board. This is arguably taking place in the Semiconductor - General space as it currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 34 out of more than 250 industries, suggesting it is well-positioned from this perspective, especially when compar
$Lithium Americas Corp.(LAC)$ The last thing we will do today, now that we have a grasp on the ESP and how powerful of a tool it can be, is to look at a qualifying stock. Lithium Americas Corp. (LAC) holds a Rank #3 at the moment and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at -$0.01 a share eight days away from its upcoming earnings release on March 21, 2025. By taking the percentage difference between the -$0.01 Most Accurate Estimate and the -$0.02 Stock Consensus Estimate, Lithium Americas Corp. has an Earnings ESP of 45.45%. LAC is part of a big group of Basic Materials stocks that boast a positive ESP, and investors may want to take a look at Ecolab (ECL) as well. Slated to report earnings on April 29, 2
Gold Stocks: A Safe Haven for Uncertain Times in 2025
Gold has long been recognized as a store of value, and its stocks continue to shine even in turbulent economic climates. In 2025, gold stocks are drawing investor interest as a hedge against inflation, geopolitical risks, and market volatility.

$eBay(EBAY)$ Stock market volatility has continued into March 2025, increasing interest in dividend stocks like eBay. These stocks tend to be less volatile than most, particularly compared to growth stocks, which are more closely tied to market fluctuations. If you're seeking a lower-risk investment, eBay could be worth considering. In this article, I'll analyze eBay's revenue growth history, cash flow from operations, and returns on investor capital. I'll also examine its dividend yield and valuation. Additionally, I’ll share a discounted cash flow (DCF) model for eBay and assess its valuation using forward price-to-earnings and price-to-free-cash-flow ratios to determine whether it's a worthwhile dividend stock at its current price.

Nvidia: Ignore The Noise And Buy The Dip Summary $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ Nvidia's growth outlook is strong, driven by the transition to inferencing, leading to the need for significant increases to compute capacity across the cloud services providers. Despite market concerns over Microsoft's data center lease cancellations, other hyperscalers have not followed suit, suggesting that this news may not have a material impact on growth in compute capacity.
