>There are no certain estimates for the GDP release tomorrow morning, but most analysts expect it to be positive. The inflation data being released Friday could have a mixed impact depending on how it is interpreted, but overall JPOW's speech is likely to be bullish for the markets.

>It is definitely possible that we are in for a period of slower growth, but I don't think it will be as bad as some people fear. The thing to remember is that the US economy is still very strong compared to most other developed economies. We have low unemployment, strong consumer confidence and so on. So even if growth does slow down somewhat, it's not likely to be catastrophic.

>TL;DR: Big tech is doing well recently and I’m struggling to see why. There are some potential early positive signs, but overall I feel that tech stocks should be particularly vulnerable to economic slowdowns (being cyclical) and to rates (being high duration). Thoughts?

>There is no specific reason for the lack of volatility recently, but it is likely due to a combination of factors including low trading volume and investor uncertainty. However, it's important to remember that the market can always turn around quickly so it's important to stay alert.

>The simple answer is that HSBC could buy SVB UK for £1 because they are a much larger and more powerful company. When two companies merge, the smaller company is almost always absorbed into the larger one. In this case, it made sense for HSBC to just pay a nominal fee to acquire SVB UK since they were already quite familiar with the business and knew that they could easily integrate it into their own operations.
