Investors caught up in the "Musk Deal" are rewarded handsomely. One fund has even soared by 500%. Whether it is a Wall Street fund or a small short-term trader, as long as they dare to bet heavily on elon musk's business empire, they are expected to make a lot of money this year, because Donald Trump's victory in the US election has strongly boosted the wealth surge of the world's richest man. Musk's support for Trump during the campaign and his appointment to lead the new government efficiency department made his enterprises, including Tesla and unlisted unicorn companies SpaceX and xAI, hot assets. The market value of these companies has soared this year, pushing Musk's own personal wealth to exceed $400 billion. The closed-end fund Destiny Tech100 Inc.(DXYZ) is such a fund that caught the wind of Musk's trading. Since the November 5 election, the fund has soared by more than 500%. The fund invests in the shares of unlisted unicorn companies, and its latest declaration shows that as of the end of September, the bet on SpaceX accounted for more than one-third of its positions. Trump's victory prompted a large number of retail investors to flood into the fund, pushing its transaction price far beyond the valuation of its underlying assets, and the premium level rose to an eye-popping high.International precious metal futures generally closed down, COMEX gold futures fell 1.61% to US$ 2,665.9 per ounce, and COMEX silver futures fell 1.96% to US$ 31 per ounce.The yield of 10-year German bonds rose by 15 basis points this week.

Analysis of the influence of the interest rate of 10-year treasury bonds falling below 2% on the stock market. After the interest rate of 10-year treasury bonds fell below 2%, although there were many discussions from all sides, it basically had no influence on the stock market trend, and the stocks with high dividends remained flat and there was no obvious capital inflow. Some analysts believe that there are two reasons here. First, the funds invested in fixed-income products and the funds invested in the stock market generally belong to two types of funds, and they rarely operate across varieties. Even if the internal and external factors have changed, resulting in the need for mobility, but the specific implementation also needs a process, can not be immediate. Second, the interest rate of 10-year treasury bonds fell below 2%, which also reflected some judgment of investors on the trend of interest rate in the market outlook, and this actually reflected the market's expectation of the growth rate of the real economy, which required greater countercyclical adjustment.
