• Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, forecasts the end of a “rolling recession” and anticipates a productivity boom driven by artificial intelligence.
• Wood suggests technological innovation could more than double historical GDP growth rates despite current economic weaknesses.
• The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow indicator predicts a nearly 3% contraction in first-quarter real GDP.
• Wood aligns with optimistic economic views, citing potential benefits from proposed fiscal policies under the Trump administration.
• ARK Invest’s Innovation ETF has underperformed since its inception, following a significant downturn in 2022.
