SpaceX joins Nasdaq 100, but stock is down ~5% on the day; some investors rethink exposure; Raymond James analyst sees $10T valuation.

Microsoft lays off 4,800 employees (2.1% of workforce), mostly in Xbox, as part of restructuring; Xbox focusing on core franchises. NY Fed survey shows year-ahead inflation expectations rose to 3.7% and three-year to 3.3%, highest since June 2022, bearish for growth/multiple stocks.
