The Power Shift: India Rises, Shein Retreats, Musk Under Fire

Money Masters' Market Pulse Week 22

May 30, 2025

In partnership with

Dear Money Master,

As we wrap up May, the markets are anything but calm.

India has unofficially climbed to the fourth spot in global GDP rankings, threatening to displace Germany next but is the hype justified? Meanwhile, OPEC+ could unleash a fresh wave of oil into markets, testing inflation resilience just as tariffs hit American retailers hard. Best Buy slashes guidance, while Tesla investors demand Musk return to Earth (and to work). On the tech front, Nvidia is smashing revenue records, even as U.S.-China tech tensions take a multibillion-dollar bite.

Fast fashion giant Shein is retreating from London’s scrutiny and heading east, while Meta AI hits one billion users and it's just getting started.

In our Deep Dive, we unpack the TACO Trade and what it means. 🌍💼

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new real estate trend called co-ownership is revolutionizing a $1.3T market. Leading it? Pacaso. Led by former Zillow execs, they already have $110M+ in gross profits with 41% growth last year. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity’s now. Until 5/29, you can invest for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public.
