-Coinbase (COIN) shares rallied for its best day since February 13. The big surge in investor interest comes one day after Politico reported that President Trump met privately the company's CEO Brian Armstrong.

-Ross Stores (ROST) shares rallied after the off-price apparel and home accessories retailer reported comparable sales growth for the fourth quarter of 9%, easily beating the consensus growth estimate of 4.9%. Momentum has continued, with management stating it is “very encouraged by the strong start to the Spring season.”

- Apple (AAPL) rolled out the $599 MacBook Neo in its biggest push yet into low-end laptops, aiming to challenge Windows PCs and Chromebooks for budget-minded shoppers. The machine is $400 less than any new-generation laptop Apple has sold before, coming in well below the now $1,099 MacBook Air. The MacBook Neo will be offered in citrus, silver, indigo and blush color options, potentially making it appealing both to students and mainstream consumers. Investor response to the new was tepid. Shares of the tech giant slipped during trading on Wednesday.
