MARCH 2024

WHATS NEW?!

Good Morning, Good Evening, and Goodnight,

Welcome back to another market update, in this journal I’m going to talk about the supply chain events in a retrospect of this month. This month’s journal will be tech focused on tech as well as exciting new innovations on the rise. Welcome to Journal March 2024!

The sole purpose for me to do this is to spark a conversation with you in the future and maybe gain perspective of your thoughts and strategies.

“Money is Power! With enough of it, you can build anything, even a rocket to the moon.” – Scrooge Mcduck (A.K.A Donald Duck’s Uncle)

In this journal I’m going to Daiiv into supply chain updates, market insights, and more into innovations. This is the third journal for 2024 and is a much quicker read. I’m excited to share that all my journals are published on my personal website: Daiviksuresh.com

Warning: Market talk ahead. This is not financial advice; most investments carry a risk of losing some or all of the invested capital.

Advancing Ahead, But Mind the Bumps on the Road!

Crude Calm Amidst Global Turmoil: Upon the last update, oil has remained steady, but reserves are slowly getting pumped and the inventory of crude oil is not where the country excepted their forecast. We are still hovering around $80 dollars a barrel and can soon expect prices to go back up! Red Sea tensions are still prevalent, and the cost of ocean freight is steadily rising. This could exacerbate inflation concerns and impact business across the board.

Emerging Technologies:

Breakthroughs in Generative AI:

NVIDA Blackwell is designed to specifically excel at generative AI tasks, allowing for the development of powerful large language models with trillions of parameters. These models can be used for tasks like creating realistic text, images, and even code. $NVDA Omniverse will be exciting when WHS (Warehouse Systems) will use this. Check the link below to see a visual of how it can work!
Open AI, Testing Sora, a new text to video AI that will shock the world once it is out. I am truly excited for this and can’t wait for the possibilities that this can bring, as well as new ways of using generative AI.
Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR) will change the way we see reality, I guarantee they will use openai sora to make visuals out of this world. Business and brands are focusing into e-tours and virtual try on experiences so that customers don’t have to leave their home.
Self-Driving Trucks and Autonomous Delivery Vehicles: Self-driving trucks, also known as autonomous trucks or robo-trucks, are an application of self-driving technology aiming to create trucks that can operate without human input. This is still in the works and NIVIDA’s Blackwell technology can contribute to the pace of this this process.
Blockchain: Last couple months I talked about $BITO, if you jumped in crypto or even this ETF you must be doing the money dance as BTC, and most other coins have reached ATH (All-time highs)! ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) gained 45.33% over the last month and 146.41% over the last year. The potential benefits are wide-ranging, from reducing fraud and waste to streamlining customs clearance and building stronger supplier relationships.

Federal Market: The annual inflation rate for the United States was 3.2% for the 12 months ending February. A 0.01% increase from last month This is above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. FOMC meeting had mentioned only 3 rate cuts this year, but I still think we may only aim for 2 as election season will play into this.

My risk appetite for this market now is the same and I am not pushing anything much in my favor but will remain cautious in this ever-changing economic landscape. I plan only now to study and understand these markets, while being able to throw a buck or two in risk. Whether it is profit or loss, I am still learning and everyday is a new lesson as well as an opportunity.

In conclusion, 2024’s supply chain landscape promises to be dynamic and challenging. While uncertainties remain, the rise of automation, AI, and blockchain technology, coupled with adaptable businesses and cautious optimism, offers a glimmer of hope for navigating the road ahead. I am very excited for what this year will bring us and mostly leaned towards the possibilities of AI. I will keep an eye out for anything interesting, and do want to thank my readers for making this enjoyable as I learn a lot from the conversations I have with some of you. (Fun fact: All the journal images you’ve seen from August till now are text to image AI!)
