Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood Justifies Exit From Nvidia Due to Stretched Valuations

Cathie Wood, the manager of the ARK Innovation ETF, has justified her fund's exit from Nvidia earlier this year, stating that the chipmaker has been priced "ahead of the curve". Nvidia's stock has more than doubled since ARKK exited in January 2023, and is now trading at 25 times the estimated sales for the current financial year. However, some analysts believe that the outlook for chips isn't quite picking up yet amid tepid demand for consumer electronics. Nvidia's co-founder, Jensen Huang, recently unveiled a number of AI products at the Computex trade show, including an AI supercomputer platform called DGX GH200.

  • Goldman Sachs: Still expects the Fed to cut interest rates in December, January and March

    Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech last week hinted at a possible pause in interest rate cuts at the upcoming meeting. This news has left investors dissatisfied. However, some economists do not believe that Powell's remarks will have a negative impact on the market. Citigroup's chief US economist, Andrew Hollenhorst, said, "US bond yields rose due to Powell's remarks, but we believe this is more a reflection of Powell keeping all options open rather than intentionally sending a hawkish signal." Goldman Sachs' chief economist, Hazus, still expects "the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates continuously in December, January, and March, and then once per quarter in June and September. However, he believes that the FOMC may slow down the pace of interest rate cuts faster, which could happen as early as the December or January meeting." However, unless the November employment or inflation report unexpectedly strengthens, the likelihood of the FOMC skipping interest rate cuts in December is low.

  • Analysis predicts bitcoin price could reach $200,000 despite recent surge

    According to BCA Research, despite the recent surge in bitcoin's price, it could potentially rise to $200,000 based on a gauge using 260-day fractal patterns. This gauge indicates that the current levels are nowhere near the levels seen during previous bull market peaks. While bitcoin is currently below the six-figure mark, one firm is predicting that its price could more than double from the current market rate of $90,000. The rise in stablecoin liquidity and bitcoin transactions is contributing to the formation of "Uptober." The ETH/BTC ratio has also slid to its lowest since April 2021.
