"High multiples are weak signals for near-term returns, but typically increase the magnitude of market drawdown during a negative shock," states the report.

☆ Here's how to leverage the 0% capital gains bracket as the price of bitcoin surges

But if you're in the 0% capital gains bracket, you can reduce future taxes with a lesser-known strategy, experts say. You can leverage the 0% long-term capital gains rate — meaning you won't owe taxes on gains — as long as earnings are below a certain threshold. The income limits for 0% capital gains may be higher than you expect, Gordon said. You calculate taxable income by subtracting the greater of the standard or itemized deductions from your adjusted gross income. If you're in the 0% bracket, you can sell profitable crypto to harvest gains without triggering taxes.

SINGAPORE — Chinese tech giant Tencent is increasingly leveraging its WeChat super-app ecosystem to set itself apart from dominant global cloud service players, Tencent Cloud CEO Dowson Tong said. Super app platforms are often developed using cloud infrastructure to provide scalability, reliability, and efficient resource management. For example, Cambodia's Canadia Bank partnered with Tencent Cloud to launch a new mobile banking app in 2023. For instance, Amazon specializes in e-commerce, cloud services, and streaming, but does not have a single app integrating these services. Similarly, Microsoft offers enterprise solutions such as Office 365 and gaming, but lacks a comprehensive consumer-facing super app.

Allies of two candidates, Howard Lutnick, the transition co-chair, and Scott Bessent, a top economic adviser, publicly stumped for them this weekend. Musk threw his support behind Lutnick over the weekend, calling Bessent “business as usual,” an especially cutting criticism in the Trump camp.
