The initial public offerings market has softened due to macroeconomic turbulence, leading several high-profile companies to postpone debuts, according to the Nasdaq chief executive. Investor doubts have surfaced regarding Anthropic's valuation as its IPO approaches. This market activity occurs as SpaceX reached a market value of $1.96 trillion, cementing Elon Musk's status as a trillionaire.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Escalating Middle East conflicts and energy shocks have reignited global inflation fears, prompting the US Federal Reserve to hike interest rates. This has dramatically increased the cost of capital, effectively chilling the IPO window over the past two months.
