ALT Eleven beeswarm charts plotting percent change in capex guidance for US companies, grouped by their sector. The companies are color-coded by their guidance, whether they were lowered after April 2 (magenta), reiterated (cyan) or raised (green). Further, some companies, seen in the left margin, had their guidance withdrawn. The majority of companies had their guidance reiterated. Some sectors saw more companies that had their guidance lowered or withdrawn, particularly in Industrials and Consumer discretionary. American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Sketchers USA, Carter’s, Crocs, Harley–Davidson, Jeld Wen and Beyond Meat were examples of companies whose guidance was withdrawn. All but one financial services company maintained their capex guidance. Rivian was one of the companies mentioned as having raised its full year capex guidance (by 12%).

ALT A map of the United States about ICE transfers of people to New Mexico, from states across the country, highlighted in gray. Dashed lines sized in width for the four-week average of the number of people (range from 25 to 200) and colored by sitting president (orange for Trump and green for Biden, where Trump had lines from 13 states in the southern border and mainly the northeast, and Biden only had one that was wider than a pixel, Texas). The thickest lines were from Florida and Texas, for Trump, representing 126 people for Florida and about 200 for Texas. A note pointing to the northeasternmost block of states said “Some northeastern states sent more people to New Mexico than they had since at least 2013”. Another note on Florida said “Florida sent 126 people to New Mexico for detention during Trump’s first four weeks. It sent only three during Biden’s entire administration”.

The Trump dinner announcement is annotated as a dotted vertical line on April 23, with spikes in purchases up to 5 days after, annotated in orange (likely foreign wallets on leaderboard) and cyan (likely US wallets on leaderboard). The highest spike on April 23 said “2 purchases worth a combined $3.6M by a foreign-based wallet, hours after the announcement”, where the maximum of the two bars nearly reaches $2.0 million.

ALT An annotated line chart visualizing the network frequency (in hertz) in Málaga, prior and during the power outages in Spain and Portugal on April 28, 2025. Three events when frequencies started shifting away from the usual 50 hertz (y-axis range from 49.2 to 50.2) are marked: at 12:04 local time, “First grid frequency oscillations detected” (not much deviation), at 12:19, “Oscillations intensify” (a few spikes deviating less than 0.1 hertz around 50), and at 12:33, “Grid frequency drops dramatically and blackout begins” (spike spans the whole y-axis range).
