The rise in NFT’s

NFTs are digital assets that are underpinned by the same blockchain technology as crypto coins and are becoming all the rage in the entertainment and art industry.

When people buy NFTs, their token is stored digitally forever and is impossible to edit. Plus, each NFT is unique, so they offer a way to verify the authenticity and ownership of a piece of creative work, for example. But they’re also tradable, much like collectible real-world items.

Katy Perry is one of the most successful pop stars of the past few years, with nine Billboard hot 100 number one singles, as well as a slew of accolades to her name, including five American Music Awards, and at least one Brit award.

Nasdaq drops 1.84% amid turbulent week; investors pivot to cyclical and value sectors from high-growth tech.

U.S. equity markets wrapped up a turbulent week with mixed results. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.84%, marking its worst week for large-cap technology stocks since November, while the S&P 500 remained largely unchanged. Investors are weighing concerns about artificial intelligence and potential overinvestment in high-growth areas.

Meanwhile, smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks continued to add to their year-to-date gains. Market participants rotated into cyclical sectors that had lagged, reflecting a shift in investor sentiment and appetite for risk outside the traditional tech heavyweights.

Analysts say this rotation highlights the broader market’s evolving dynamics, as growth concerns collide with opportunities in underappreciated areas. Stay tuned for further developments as the market digests these trends.
