Market Analysis
On Tuesday (Eastern Time), U.S. stocks closed mixed as investors took profits near the end of a strong Q1 earnings season, weighed down by hotter-than-expected April inflation data and a increasingly fragile U.S.–Iran ceasefire. Tech weakness dragged the Nasdaq lower, while healthcare outperformed — led by a sharp rally in Humana — helping the Dow hold onto gains.
Economic data showed U.S. inflation rising faster than analysts expected, as the ongoing Iran war and Strait of Hormuz closure continue to disrupt crude oil supply. Markets fear that a prolonged conflict could translate surging energy prices into broader, more entrenched inflation — all but extinguishing hopes for Fed rate cuts this year. The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh to the Fed Board on Tuesday, with expectations he will be named the next Fed Chair. Fed Chair Powell’s term ends May 15. Warsh, a former Fed governor with legal and financial industry experience, was nominated by President Trump on January 30.

Key Events
India Raises Import Duties on Gold and Silver
India revised its precious metals import tariffs, raising the basic customs duty on gold and silver from 5% to 10%, and increasing the Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess from 1% to 5%. The move is aimed at curbing import demand and supporting the domestic market.
Senate Confirms Kevin Warsh as Fed Governor
The U.S. Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh to the Federal Reserve Board on May 12, for a 14-year term — widely seen as a key step toward his appointment as the next Fed Chair. The Senate is expected to immediately begin confirmation proceedings for Warsh as Chair, with a procedural vote potentially as early as May 13. Fed Chair Powell’s term ends May 15. Warsh, a former Fed governor with legal and financial industry experience, was nominated by President Trump on January 30.
Google Said to Approach SpaceX to Launch Orbital Data Centers
Google is in talks with SpaceX over a rocket launch agreement as it advances its “orbital data center” initiative, creating a complex relationship of both competition and cooperation in space computing. Google seeks to use SpaceX’s launch capabilities to deploy its orbital data centers — an unproven technology that SpaceX CEO Elon Musk views as the next frontier for his rocket company. Google is also in talks with other launch providers. The concept is a key pitch to investors ahead of SpaceX’s summer IPO, expected to be the largest in history.
