GOOD WEEK

Coinbase Global (COIN +7.66%) experienced an increase tied to Bitcoin's surge. RIOT Platforms, a Bitcoin miner, rose indicating potential profitability and fostering a positive outlook.
BAD WEEK
HashiCorp (HCP -16.43%) reported a loss due to lower net revenue retention and below-estimated remaining performance obligations. Challenging market conditions and changed customer behaviour impacted contract sizes, causing stock downgrades and a YTD decline.
Sunrun Inc (RUN -7.07%) stock dropped due to lower net revenue retention and below-estimated remaining performance obligations. Challenging market conditions and changes in customer purchasing behaviour impacted contract sizes, leading to financial setbacks.
WHAT ELSE HAPPENED
Technology stocks spearheaded market growth, reflecting companies engaged in developing, manufacturing, and distributing technology-related products and services.
The unexpected drop in the US unemployment rate to 3.7% and the addition of 199,000 jobs signalled a resilient labour market. When the unemployment rate drops, it indicates an improvement in the labour market. This is a positive sign for the economy, as it indicates increased job opportunities, economic growth, and overall economic health.
