AI Boost and Policy Push Set Stage for 2026 U.S. Growth Surge

With GDPNow at about 4.2% for late-2025 and a 5–6% growth outlook for 2026, the outlook hinges on the economy’s ability to sustain productivity gains amid inflation dynamics, aided by reopening effects, a larger defense budget, and tax/tariff support.

SoFi Falls Below $25: A Long-Term Buy or Watchlist Entry?

SoFi Technologies slid to about $22 after dipping below $25, even as the fintech lender reports robust growth, 12.6 million members, and a Q3 with record revenue ($950M) and eight straight quarters of profitability. Its strong position is aided by AI tools like Cash Coach, but the stock still trades at a high forward P/E (~44.8), suggesting it may not be cheap for quick profits. Long-term investors with higher risk tolerance might view this as a buying opportunity, while short-term traders may prefer to wait or watch for a lower entry.

China taps export strength to hit 5% growth amid domestic headwinds

China posted 5% GDP growth in 2025, meeting Beijing's target, aided by a record trade surplus of about $1.19 trillion driven by rising exports despite US tariffs, even as quarterly growth cooled to 4.5% and domestic demand remained weak amid a prolonged property downturn and a demographic drop (births near 7.9 million). Analysts warn official figures may overstate expansion and caution that the economy is two-speed, with exports propping up growth while consumption and housing drag, complicating policy as trade tensions loom.
