Yesterday's tape for large-cap tech and the most heavily-shorted tech stocks. I get the feeling that some funds that are long $Alphabet-C(GOOG.US$ and $Meta Platforms(META.US$ and short % $Tesla(TSLA.US$ and other popular shorts are degrossing today (either because they want to or have to).

For those who do not understand what just happened:
First, Q1 2024 GDP growth slowed to just 1.6% which is less than HALF of the 3.4% Q4 2023 number.
This reading is roughly 50% BELOW Goldman Sach's expectations.
But it gets even worse.
At the same time, the US Core PCE Price Index soared from 2.0% to a staggering 3.7%.
This crushed estimates of 3.4% and further suggests that inflation is on the rise.
We have a weakening economy with rising inflation.
The worst possible outcome for the Fed.

EV stocks revving up! Futures higher led by gains in big tech like $Microsoft(MSFT.US$ , $Amazon(AMZN.US$ & $Tesla(TSLA.US$ despite recent yield pressures.All eyes on Fed's Bowman & Mester today after Powell/Jefferson signaled higher rates for longer.
No major econ data but jobless claims & home sales due Thu. $Tesla(TSLA.US$ $XPeng(XPEV.US$ among EV names catching a bid on individual catalysts.
