Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, is valued at $44 billion, the same amount he paid in 2022, despite a decline in tech stocks and previous investor write-downs. The company claims $1.2 billion in EBITDA, suggesting improved efficiency, but these figures are reportedly "wildly adjusted," raising concerns about their accuracy. Valuations in private markets can be misleading, as they often rely on a limited number of transactions, unlike the robust trading seen in public markets.
UBS analyst Stephen Ju has maintained a Neutral rating on Alphabet Inc. with a $209 price target, following its $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity firm Wiz. While the deal is seen as a strategic move to enhance cloud security, concerns over return on invested capital and regulatory issues may temper investor sentiment. Other analysts have varied opinions, with some maintaining Buy ratings and higher price targets, reflecting the acquisition's potential to strengthen Google Cloud's market position.

UBS Asset Management has launched Europe’s lowest-fee Nasdaq 100 ETF, the UBS ETF Nasdaq-100 UCITS ETF (QQQE), with a total expense ratio of 0.13%. It also introduced the Nasdaq-100 ESG Enhanced UCITS ETF (QQQSI) at 0.15%, both listed on SIX Swiss Exchange and Deutsche Borse, with QQQE set to debut on the London Stock Exchange soon. These offerings provide investors with options for both traditional and ESG-screened exposure to the Nasdaq-100 index.
US indices showed a strong recovery on Friday, with the US Tech 100 index bouncing back and raising hopes of a market bottom. Early trading indicated a slight pullback, but maintaining levels above 19,400 could lead to a bullish outlook targeting 19,700 and the 200-day moving average. Meanwhile, the FTSE 100 experienced a drift lower, with sellers needing a close below 8500 to exert further pressure, while a resurgence could aim for targets of 8800 and the March high of 8912.
Turmoil in the US stock market is driving investors to global equities, with emerging markets outperforming amid recession fears. However, analysts warn that a US economic slowdown could negatively impact global markets, as tighter financial conditions may spill over if the US faces a recession. The recent selloff has led to significant gains in European and Chinese markets, bolstered by fiscal measures and technological advancements.
The HSI index rose by 316 points at midday, with HSBC Holdings and AIA both increasing by 3%.

The Nasdaq 100 surged nearly 3% last week, driven by President Trump's tariff decisions and renewed optimism in US-Russian diplomatic talks regarding Ukraine. Inflation figures suggest a gradual easing of pressures, with the core PCE index expected to drop to 2.6% in January. The index has broken a two-month bearish trend, signaling potential for a rally as investor sentiment improves.
Markets experienced relief as US President Trump delayed the implementation of reciprocal tariffs, allowing for potential negotiations. This shift positively impacted US equity markets, with the DJIA rising 0.77% and the S&P 500 gaining 1.04%, while the US dollar dipped 0.8%. In Asia, stock indices generally trended higher, although Japan's Nikkei lagged due to a stronger yen. The AUD/USD showed signs of recovery, but its future remains tied to developments in US-China trade relations.
The Dow Jones index rebounded after a drop following the US consumer price index reading, with a key resistance at 44,600 and a target of 45,000. The Nasdaq 100 also recovered from its lows, eyeing January highs at 21,940 and 22,130. Meanwhile, the Nikkei 225 continued its upward trend, reaching 39,500, with further gains targeting 39,830 and 40,500.
