월요일(21일) 금 가격이 사상 최고치로 급등했다. 금은 월요일 오전 11시 20분(동부표준시 기준) 온스당 2.5% 상승한 3,410달러로 상승했다. 이는 미국 금융자산에 대한 불신과 인플레이션 우려로 인해 2010년대 초 글로벌 부채 위기 이후 볼 수 없었던 안전자산으로의 도피가 이어지는 것을 의미한다.

After a nearly four-year break, federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44890297/married-borrowers-could-see-major-changes-to-student-loan-payments-whats-happening-with-idr-plan">student loan payments</a> have resumed — and for millions of Americans, the financial aftermath has been swift and painful. Borrowers are now facing steep drops in their credit scores, with some seeing declines of more than 100 points in just a matter of weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Loan Delinquencies Are Now Showing Up on Credit Reports</h2>
Student loan payments officially resumed in October 2023, but thanks to a one-year "on-ramp" period, missed payments weren't reported to credit bureaus right away. That protection ended in October, and now borrowers who've fallen behind are starting to feel the full impact.

</ul>
In the first quarter of 2025, 2.2 million federal student loan borrowers became newly delinquent and saw their credit scores fall by more than 100 points, according to the <a href="https://libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2025/05/student-loan-delinquencies-are-back-and-credit-scores-take-a-tumble/">Federal Reserve Bank of New York</a>. More than 1 million of those borrowers saw drops of at least 150 points.
A 100-point drop in a credit score can be extremely damaging. According to LendingTree's chief credit analyst Matt Schulz, recovering from such a hit could take years. "It can literally cost you tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your life in the form of higher interest rates, bigger fees and more," Schulz told <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/student-loan-delinquencies-tank-credit-scores-millions-borrowers-how-recover">Fox News</a>.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One Borrower Lost 137 Points in Just Weeks</h2>
Kayla Quinones, a 26-year-old borrower from Florida, saw her credit score drop 137 points between January and March — and she didn't even realize she was behind on her payments.
Quinones told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/19/some-student-loan-borrowers-see-credit-scores-drop-over-100-points.html">CNBC</a> that although she received emails from the U.S. Department of Education, she thought they were general updates, not action items. It wasn't until she checked her credit score while preparing to move that she discovered the drop.
"I went back into [my loan servicer] website, took a peek, and was just kind of figuring out what is going on," she said.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
Quinones used her savings to pay off the overdue amount and worked with her servicer to set up a payment plan. But the damage to her credit had already been done.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Delinquency Can Derail Big Financial Plans</h2>
For borrowers like Mervelline Aflata of Dallas, falling behind wasn't just about confusion — it was about survival.
Aflata earned her master's degree in 2023 and planned to resume payments in early 2025. But after undergoing surgery and losing her job, she wasn't in a position to pay. By the time she started working again and attempted to make a payment, her credit score had already dropped 154 points.
"Maybe I could have looked into more options with the loan servicer, but in that moment, I was just worried about living," she told CNBC.
Aflata eventually worked with her servicer to bring her account current and filed a dispute with TransUnion. Within a week, the missed payments were removed from her report and her score rebounded — a relief, since she hopes to buy a home soon.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Recovery Possible?</h2>
While some borrowers have been able to bounce back, others may face a long road to recovery. Schulz told Fox News that rebuilding a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45464783/student-loan-payment-tightening-will-prevent-access-to-credit-and-could-have-a-dramatic-effect-on-ho">credit score</a> after a major hit is "a marathon rather than a sprint."
Still, there are steps borrowers can take:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Check credit reports for errors.</li>
<li>Request goodwill removals of missed payments from servicers.</li>
<li>Become an authorized user on someone else's credit card.</li>
<li>Ask for higher credit limits, but avoid using the new credit.</li>
<li>Above all, making consistent, on-time payments is key.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h2>
The end of the pandemic-era student loan pause has created confusion and financial stress for many. Whether due to a misunderstanding or tough circumstances, falling behind on student loans now has real consequences.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45497552/americans-consumer-debt-hits-all-time-high-of-18-2-trillion-experts-say-some-borrowers-will-have-a-much-more-difficult-time-getting-credit-going-forward">Credit damage</a> from student loan delinquency doesn't just affect borrowing; it can influence housing, insurance rates, and job opportunities. Checking in early and often with loan servicers may help avoid surprises down the road.

After A 4-Year Pause, Student Loans Are Destroying Credit Scores — One Borrower Says It Cost Her 137 Points In Weeks

The activist investor who previously proposed a $6.9 billion buyout offer for&nbsp;Macy&#8217;s Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) is reportedly considering a new takeover bid. This comes nearly a year after Macy&#8217;s rejected the initial offer.
What Happened: Arkhouse, in collaboration with Brigade Capital Management, made the initial bid on July 15, 2024. Despite the offer being&nbsp;more than double Macy&#8217;s current&nbsp;share price, the retail giant declined the proposal.
Arkhouse&#8217;s managing partner, Gavriel Kahane, has expressed ongoing disappointment over the rejection. While he did not reveal the size of Arkhouse&#8217;s current stake in Macy&#8217;s, he did not rule out the possibility of a new takeover bid.
&#8220;Macy&#8217;s is still publicly traded,&nbsp;still mispriced, and still in&nbsp;desperate need of someone coming&nbsp;in to save shareholders,&#8221; Kahane&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/macys-former-activist-investor-doesnt-rule-out-a-new-takeover-campaign-195904239.html?ncid=twitter_yfsocialtw_l1gbd0noiom&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly90LmNvLw&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKWl4jO1Sf9nIWTtzssZtwtgKxqJu_23q4rKCRMzgG1_T47nNXbmtEV24XXNxcytas2unRrXTjyVpLcU_OtKLHyNSF2T4qXBZGIYQevoIDzwoD9S9Tp82f852YNPYfOfYZmtOuby_7JHyGvF2IG_TyOPQ6hyPuCzHf3SBSHwGtbB&amp;guccounter=2">told </a>Yahoo Finance.
At the time of the initial bid, Macy&#8217;s CFO Adrian Mitchell found the offer &#8220;not compelling&#8221; in light of Macy&#8217;s potential. The company chose&nbsp;to focus on its turnaround&nbsp;strategy under CEO Tony Spring instead.

Macy&#8217;s is scheduled&nbsp;to report its first quarter&nbsp;earnings next Wednesday. Wall Street predicts a 3.65% decline in same-store sales and adjusted earnings per share of $0.14, along with revenue of $4.44 billion.
Why It Matters: The potential new takeover bid by Arkhouse comes at a crucial time for Macy&#8217;s. The company is in the midst of a&nbsp;turnaround strategy under CEO Tony&nbsp;Spring, focusing on improving its financial performance. 
The rejection of the previous bid indicates Macy&#8217;s confidence in its potential and strategic plan. However, the ongoing interest from Arkhouse suggests that external parties still see value in the company and believe they can unlock it. 
The outcome of this situation could have significant implications for Macy&#8217;s future direction and shareholder value.

D-Wave Quantum And Advance Auto Parts Are Among Top 7 Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (May 19-May 23): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Even billionaires have regrets—and for Warren Buffett, it wasn't a missed investment or market move. It was personal.
In his authorized biography, "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life," Buffett didn't shy away from reflecting on the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2008/09/26/warren-buffett-admits-regret-over-wifes-departure-in-new-biography-ny-daily-news.html">one decision he wishes he could undo</a>: letting his wife, Susan, leave their Omaha home.
"It was preventable. It shouldn't have happened. It was my biggest mistake," Buffett told biographer Alice Schroeder, who spent five years documenting his life with full access to his files, family, and inner circle. "Essentially, whatever I did in connection with Susie leaving would be the biggest mistake I ever made."

</ul>
Published in 2008, "The Snowball" offered readers a rare look at Buffett beyond the shareholder letters and stock picks. While many expected an investing playbook, what they got was something closer to a confession booth.
"It was definitely 95% my fault—no question about that," Buffett said. "It may even have been 99% percent. I just wasn't attuned enough to her, and she'd always been perfectly attuned to me."
The Buffetts married in 1952 and had three children. But by 1977, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2086406/Warren-Buffett-breaks-tears-mention-wife.html">after 25 years together</a>, Susan left Omaha for San Francisco. She wanted to pursue her own life—particularly a singing career—and perhaps needed more than a man consumed by balance sheets and annual reports.
"She felt less needed than I should have made her feel," Buffett admitted. "Your spouse starts coming second. She kept me together for a lot of years… She didn't want to be Mrs. Big… She loved me, and she still loves me, and we have an incredible relationship. But still… it shouldn't have happened. And it's totally my fault."
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
Despite the separation, the two never divorced. They remained close—so close, in fact, that Susan introduced Warren to Astrid Menks, the woman who would eventually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41380899/warren-buffetts-second-marriage-was-a-frugal-affair-with-a-discounted-ring-dinner-at-bonefish-gr">become his second wife</a>.
That introduction wasn't random. Susan and Astrid had become friends at The French Café in Omaha, where Susan occasionally performed and Astrid worked as a hostess. Knowing Warren's domestic blind spots, Susan asked Astrid to look after him. She moved in soon after. The setup was unconventional, but it worked—for all three of them.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42364120/warren-buffett-was-married-to-one-woman-lived-with-another-and-sent-christmas-cards-signed-by-all-3-daughter-says-not-a-bad-thing">trio even sent out joint holiday cards</a> signed, "Warren, Susan and Astrid."
After Susan's death in 2004, Warren and Astrid married in 2006. But even then, the legacy of Susan's presence in his life loomed large.
"She loved him and takes care of him. If Warren didn't have a cent, she'd be with him," his daughter <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/01/business/01buffett.html">Susie Buffett told The New York Times in 2006</a>, speaking about Astrid's commitment. She also described the connection between her mother and Astrid: "Astrid and my mother were very close—really loved each other."

And of her parents' arrangement, she added, "Unconventional is not a bad thing. More people should have unconventional marriages."
Susan had once told her daughter that she didn't want to simply be known as the wife of a billionaire. "She basically wanted a room of her own," Susie said. "They were very connected in a very deep way. They didn't need to be in the same room."
In the end, Warren Buffett didn't lose Susan. He just lost the version of their relationship that looked traditional on paper. What they built instead was far more complicated—and in many ways, more enduring.
And yes, she introduced him to the woman who would become his partner after her death. It's not your standard love triangle, but nothing about Buffett's life—not even the romance—has ever followed the market.

Warren Buffett Calls Letting First Wife Move Out His 'Biggest Mistake' — Admits It Was '99%' His Fault, Yet She Introduced Him to His Current Wife

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43388818/3-stocks-to-gain-from-trumps-family-caregiver-tax-credits">Caregiving is a growing reality</a> for many Americans, with financial, emotional, and professional impacts that are often long-lasting. As more adults take on the responsibility of caring for loved ones, new data reveals the scale of their challenges.
Edward Jones, in partnership with Morning Consult and Age Wave, <a href="https://www.edwardjones.com/us-en/why-edward-jones/news-media/press-releases/caregiver-support#_ftn1">surveyed</a> 3,100 U.S. adults. Here&#8217;s what they found: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>40% currently identify as family caregivers.</li>
<li>Nearly half of Americans (46%) are expected to become caregivers in the future.</li>
<li>56% of caregivers cite rising costs and inflation as top financial concerns.</li>
<li>95% have at least some level of concern about saving enough for retirement. </li>
<li>Over half (51%) say they've had to cut back on personal spending due to caregiving responsibilities.</li>
</ul>

The emotional impact of caregiving is also notable. According to the report, 89% of caregivers view their role as emotionally significant, with 83% reporting stress and 77% experiencing burnout. Two-thirds say it's difficult to prioritize their own health while managing care for others.
Career impacts are also widespread. One in four caregivers (25%) have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retirement-planning-guide">left the workforce</a>, while 24% have reduced their hours. Some have taken on debt (22%) or drawn from retirement savings (16%) to cover caregiving costs. Despite these pressures, many caregivers report positive outcomes: 80% say caregiving has strengthened their relationships, and over 80% report feelings of fulfillment and appreciation.
The report notes that 57% of caregivers have not sought <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/financial-advisor-vs-financial-planner">professional financial advice</a>, but among those who have, 93% say it increased their confidence about the future. Most Americans—across political lines—support public policies to assist caregivers, including expanded retirement savings options and workplace benefits such as financial support or flexible schedules.
With caregiving needs expected to rise, the report highlights increasing demand for support systems, financial planning resources, and policy changes to better address the needs of caregivers across the country.

How Caregiving Is Reshaping Retirement And Spending Habits

Elon Musk, head of X and CEO of Tesla Inc, has announced his renewed commitment to work on xAI and Tesla technologies amidst recent operational difficulties.
What Happened: In response to a post on X about Saturday&#8217;s outages possibly linked to a data center fire in Oregon, Musk expressed his dedication to improving operations. 
He mentioned spending all his time at work and even sleeping in conference, server, or factory rooms. His post emphasized the need for major operational improvements, particularly in light of the recent uptime issues with XAI.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

According to Musk, the failover redundancy, a critical aspect of operational stability, did not function as expected. This issue, he suggested, was a key factor in the recent outages.
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s post underscores the importance of the upcoming technologies from Tesla and XAI. His commitment to personally oversee these improvements indicates the critical nature of these projects. 
The recent outages and operational issues have highlighted the need for robust and reliable systems, particularly as these technologies continue to roll out.
Furthermore, Musk&#8217;s mention of the upcoming Starship launch next week suggests a busy schedule for the tech mogul. His decision to intensify his focus on these projects at this time underscores the significance of these initiatives for the future of Tesla and XAI.

Super Micro Computer, Hims & Hers And Aurora Innovation Are Among Top 10 Large-Cap Losers Last Week (May 19-May 23): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei thinks that the first billion-dollar company staffed by exactly one human will appear as early as 2026.
What Happened: At the Anthropic's Code with Claude developer summit, Amodei was specifically asked when the first billion-dollar company with one human employee would happen, to which he confidently responded, &#8220;2026.&#8221; The answer intrigued a crowd of founders, betting that large-language-model agents can replace whole departments.
Amodei's one-person-unicorn claim landed moments after he unveiled Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4, the firm's most powerful models yet. Anthropic, a startup backed by both Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), says Opus 4 can sustain multi-hour coding sprints, reason across sprawling research briefs and even beat vintage Pokémon games.

Amodei also shrugged off concerns that hallucinations will derail lean startups, telling reporters the latest Claude family "probably hallucinate less than humans, but they hallucinate in more surprising ways," responding to a <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/22/anthropic-ceo-claims-ai-models-hallucinate-less-than-humans/">query</a> by TechCrunch. Still, according to a <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-new-model-launch-claude-4/">report</a> by WIRED, Anthropic classed Opus 4 as an ASL-3 safety-level model and said it cut reward hacking behavior by 65 percent versus earlier releases, acknowledging the risks of handing so much autonomy to software.
Why It Matters: If Amodei is right, revenue-per-employee ratios could dwarf anything seen in the dot-com or mobile eras, upending how investors value headcount. The Anthropic CEO has already warned his own staff that AI will "change how they work" long before it replaces them, claims Bloomberg, mirroring the disruption he predicts for the wider labor market.
Amodei's forecast aligns with moves by rivals: OpenAI's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43186741/openai-debuts-operator-ai-agent-that-performs-web-tasks-but-early-error-has-sam-altman-scrambling-for-a-quick-fix">Operator agent</a> promises "hands-free" workflows, while Google just put its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44487389/sundar-pichai-shows-off-googles-most-intelligent-ai-ever-with-a-dinosaur-video-game-that-even-you-could-make-with-a-simple-prompt">Gemini 2.5 Pro</a> model inside Chrome for end-to-end task automation. Venture backers see these rollouts as confirmation that an economy of &#8216;agents&#8217; is around the corner.

Jeff Bezos-Backed Anthropic's CEO Says The First Billion Dollar Company Staffed By One Person Will Appear Next Year — Hallucinations Unlikely To Delay Lean Startups

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zinger Points:</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Harvard's federal funding cuts now total $2.65 billion, with $450 million slashed last week</li>
<li>Eight Ivy League schools face collective cuts surpassing $11 billion</li>
<li>Thirteen universities sue National Science Foundation over research funding caps, citing risks to U.S. innovation</li>
</ul>
The Trump administration has intensified its campaign against elite academic institutions, slashing an additional $450 million in federal grants to Harvard University last week. This follows April's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44804541/trump-administration-halts-2-2-billion-in-harvard-grants-after-university-says-dont-dictate-what-we-can-teach-or-who-we-admit">halt of $2.2 billion</a> in funding after university leaders resisted administration demands over academic policies, bringing total cuts to $2.65 billion.
Harvard President Alan Garber <a href="https://www.harvard.edu/president/news/2025/our-research-enterprise/">said in a statement </a>that the federal government has frozen over $2 billion in awarded grants and begun terminating active research contracts, halting lifesaving projects and threatening years of work. The university has pledged $250 million in central funding to sustain mission-critical projects during a transitional period. While avoiding specifics, Harvard stated that financial constraints will require its schools to adjust research programs and identify necessary savings as it navigates the ongoing disruption in federal funding.&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Ivy League Bloodbath</h2>
Harvard is not alone in facing these financial challenges. Eight other elite universities, including Columbia, Cornell, and the University of Pennsylvania, have collectively faced over $11 billion in federal funding reductions since January, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/25/nx-s1-5375033/trump-federal-grants-cuts-universities-could-mean">NPR</a> reported.&nbsp;
Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth has expressed concern that federal funding cuts could undermine U.S. technological leadership, emphasizing the need for sustained investment to maintain competitiveness. In a <a href="https://president.mit.edu/writing-speeches/response-proposed-cuts-nih">statement</a>, she highlighted potential disruptions to critical research in areas such as semiconductor materials and emerging pathogens, underscoring the importance of continued support for these vital fields.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legal Action and Market Impact</h2>
In response, Harvard amended its lawsuit against the administration last week, accusing officials of unconstitutional coercion over academic governance, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/us/harvard-trump-lawsuit.html">New York Times</a> reported. Meanwhile, MIT and 12 other top universities—including Princeton, California Institute of Technology, and the University of Michigan—have filed a separate lawsuit challenging the National Science Foundation's decision to cap indirect research cost reimbursements at 15%, a move that could cost MIT alone an estimated $35 million annually. The universities contend that the new caps will severely undermine scientific research and threaten the nation&#8217;s innovation edge, Reuters reported.
These funding reductions signal a dramatic departure from the government-university partnership that powered U.S. innovation for decades. "This fractures the innovation pipeline that shaped entire industries," New York University finance professor Sabrina Howell told NPR, citing breakthroughs like GPS originating from federally funded research.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
Oral arguments in Harvard's lawsuit are scheduled for July, while MIT's case against the NSF could set a precedent for more than 200 U.S. research institutions. <a href="https://president.columbia.edu/news/preserving-columbias-critical-research-capabilities">Columbia has announced</a> 180 layoffs, <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/article/princeton-braces-budget-cuts-possible-layoffs">Princeton</a> is preparing for up to 10% budget cuts, and <a href="https://president.msu.edu/communications/2025/03182025_Federal-impact-update">Michigan State</a> has warned of significant research losses tied to National Institutes of Health funding.&nbsp;
As tensions mount, the outcome of these legal battles may determine how much influence future administrations wield over academic funding — and whether elite institutions can remain insulated from shifting political priorities.

Trump Escalates War On Ivy League: Harvard Loses $450M More in Federal Grants

Jon Stewart recently expressed apprehension regarding President Donald Trump&#8216;s actions amidst ongoing lawsuits and tributes from media companies and billionaires.
What Happened: Stewart, on The Bill Simmons Podcast this week, depicted Trump as a &#8220;king&#8221; accepting &#8220;tributes&#8221; from media companies and billionaires. He expressed fear that Trump might opt to &#8220;burn our f&#8212;ing country down for the insurance money.&#8221;
Stewart&#8217;s remarks followed Trump&#8217;s lawsuit against the media house CBS, accusing the network of election interference due to the alleged deceptive editing of an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. CBS has refuted any dishonest editing and is currently in mediation with Trump&#8217;s team.
This lawsuit has triggered significant changes within CBS, including the exit of &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; producer Bill Owens. This development comes as CBS&#8217;s parent company, Paramount Global, is in the process of seeking approval for a merger with Skydance.

During the <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bill-simmons-podcast/id1043699613">podcast</a>, Stewart also highlighted&nbsp;the potential $50 million settlement&nbsp;from the CBS lawsuit, drawing parallels with other large amounts Trump has received, such as the&nbsp;$40 million deal between Amazon&nbsp;and First Lady Melania Trump&nbsp;for a documentary,&nbsp;and the $15 million ABC&nbsp;News paid to Trump in&nbsp;a defamation suit.
Stewart criticized&nbsp;media companies settling with the&nbsp;president, calling it an &#8220;awful precedent,&#8221; and expressed worry about what Trump&#8217;s subsequent actions might be.
Why It Matters: Stewart&#8217;s concerns reflect the growing unease among some sections of the public regarding the influence of media companies and billionaires on political figures. The potential implications of Trump&#8217;s lawsuits and the subsequent settlements could set a precedent for future interactions between media companies and political figures. 
Furthermore, the ongoing legal battles and their outcomes could have significant impacts on the media landscape and the political climate in the United States.

GameStop, IonQ, And CoreWeave Are Among Top 11 Large-Cap Gainers Last Week (May 19-May 23): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

The past week in tech has been a whirlwind of AI-related news. From Marc Andreessen&#8217;s optimistic outlook on AI&#8217;s economic potential to Mark Cuban&#8217;s skepticism about corporate adoption, the conversation around artificial intelligence is heating up. In the meantime, Oracle is making big investments in Nvidia&#8217;s AI chips, Alphabet is leveraging AI for Google Search dominance, Microsoft and Nvidia are deepening their supercomputing alliance, and Elon Musk&#8217;s Grok AI is raising eyebrows in government agencies. Here&#8217;s a recap of the top stories.
Andreessen&#8217;s AI Optimism Meets Cuban&#8217;s Corporate Realism&nbsp;&#8211; Venture capitalist&nbsp;Marc Andreessen&nbsp;has previously touted AI as a potential economic catalyst, a viewpoint that billionaire entrepreneur&nbsp;Mark Cuban&nbsp;has challenged, citing corporate resistance to freely allowing AI to flourish.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45560085/marc-andreessen-once-predicted-that-ai-could-save-the-economy-but-mark-cuban-thinks-corporations-will-fight-to-keep-profits-high">Read the full article here.</a>

Musk's Grok Scrutinized, Oracle Bets Big On Nvidia, Google Doubles Down On Search: This Week In Artificial Intelligence

As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45473268/elon-musk-calls-it-painful-and-difficult-why-teslas-full-self-driving-buyers-may-need-a-surprise-hardware-swap">self-driving cars</a> inch closer to the mainstream, one of the biggest unanswered questions isn't just how they'll navigate traffic—but how they'll reshape risk. If there's no driver behind the wheel, is it still "driver error"? And if the software crashes, will the insurer or the carmaker pick up the tab?
Earlier this month at the Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)) annual shareholders meeting, that question was posed to Warren Buffett and Ajit Jain, the company's vice chairman of insurance.
"Wouldn't what we call <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43030050/warren-buffett-says-insurance-is-the-most-important-business-and-the-engine-driving-berkshires-success-since-1967">auto insurance today </a>just become product liability for autonomous vehicles and autonomous software companies?" the attendee asked.

"Most of the insurance that is sold and bought revolves around operator errors… To the extent these new self-driving cars are more safe and are involved in fewer accidents, that insurance will be less required. Instead, it'll be substituted by, as you mentioned, product liability."
He confirmed that Geico and other insurers are already trying to prepare for the shift—from covering human mistakes to covering technology failures.
"We move from providing insurance for operator errors and be more ready to provide protection for product errors and errors and omissions in the construction of these automobiles," he said.

Buffett followed up with a bigger-picture take on how Berkshire thinks about change—across all its businesses.
"We expect change in all our businesses," Buffett said. "If the game didn't change at all, it really wouldn't be very interesting."
He compared the need for change to sports: if every swing in baseball resulted in a home run, or every golf shot became a hole-in-one, the game wouldn't be worth playing. Challenges keep it engaging—and thinking through those challenges is part of what keeps companies and people sharp.
"Your brain would turn to mush if you didn't have a few problems now and then," he added.
Buffett acknowledged that while auto insurance will change, it's striking how little it has changed so far. He noted how transportation itself evolved drastically over the last two centuries, and no one really knows how it will look in the next hundred years.

But while driving deaths have dropped dramatically—from six per 100 million miles driven to just over one—insurance costs have skyrocketed. He recalled walking into Geico's office in 1950 when the average policy cost was "around 40 bucks a year." Now? It's not unusual to see policies climb into the $2,000+ range—and higher in urban areas.
Jain chimed back in with one more important point: autonomous driving might reduce accidents overall, but it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43083417/charlie-munger-said-he-and-warren-buffett-skip-insurance-and-all-rich-should-too-i-can-so-easily-rebuild-a-house-that-would-burn-down">doesn't mean insurance will get cheaper</a>.
"The number of accidents will drop dramatically because of automatic driving," he said. "But on the other hand, the cost per repair every time there's an accident will go up very significantly because of the amount of technology that's going into the car."
So while Geico and others may sell fewer policies for human error, the cost of insuring the tech itself could be just as complex—if not more.
Buffett closed the conversation with a philosophical note about change and uncertainty:
"You deal with the world as it develops. You never reach an answer in this business—you reach a point of action that you take."

Consumer Tech News (May 19-May 23): Trump Warns Apple Of 25% Tariff if Manufactured Overseas, Disney Sues YouTube & More

The past week was a whirlwind of events in the business world. From new safety policies at Southwest Airlines to the seizure of Boeing aircraft tires by Polish authorities, and even a visit to Tesla&#8217;s Gigafactory by the U.S. Transportation Secretary.
Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Southwest Airlines&#8217; New Safety Policy
In a bid to prevent lithium battery fires mid-flight, Southwest Airlines has mandated that passengers keep their portable chargers in plain sight while in use. This policy change will take effect from May 28, 2025.

Polish Seizure of Boeing Tires
Poland&#8217;s National Revenue Administration confiscated over 5 metric tons of tires for Boeing civilian aircraft. The seizure was due to suspicions of the tires being transported through Russia, which is currently under Western sanctions.

Southwest's New Policy, Polish Seizure Of Boeing Tires And Tesla's Brand Damage: This Week In Mobility

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45437126/us-and-saudi-arabia-deepen-critical-minerals-ties-with-rare-earth-agreement">Saudi Arabia</a> is making a bold move to become a global leader in artificial intelligence. The kingdom's new AI venture, Humain, backed by Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Public Investment Fund, has secured a deal with Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) to receive 18,000 of its latest GB300 Blackwell chips, according to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/13/nvidia-blackwell-ai-chips-saudi-arabia.html"> CNBC</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia's Blackwell Chips Power Saudi Arabia's AI Ambitions</h2>
The chip deal was announced on May 13 during the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Riyadh, where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised Saudi Arabia's long-term vision. &#8220;It is an incredible vision, indeed,&#8221; Huang said, referring to the country's plan to build a national AI infrastructure, according to CNBC.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives told <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/14/nvidia-ai-humain-saudi-arabia-front-of-the-line-wedbush-dan-ives/">Fortune</a> that the move places Saudi Arabia at &#8220;the front of the line&#8221; for global chip access, ahead of countries like China. He described the deal as a &#8220;watershed&#8221; moment in the ongoing global AI race.
Humain's data centers, powered by these chips, are expected to host Arabic-language large language models and multimodal AI tools capable of operating across voice, image, and text input. According to<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-launches-company-develop-artificial-intelligence-under-pif-2025-05-12/"> Reuters</a>, the aim is to create regionally specific models that can support smart city infrastructure, autonomous logistics, and defense technology.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Multibillion Dollar Collaborations Accelerate Regional Edge</h2>
In addition to Nvidia, other U.S. tech companies are forming strategic partnerships with Humain. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) <a href="https://ir.amd.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1250/amd-and-humain-form-strategic-10b-collaboration-to-advance-global-ai">announced</a> Tuesday that it committed to a $10 billion agreement to provide 500 megawatts of AI compute infrastructure. Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) have also <a href="https://newsroom.cisco.com/c/r/newsroom/en/us/a/y2025/m05/cisco-expands-partnership-with-saudi-arabia-to-power-the-ai-future.html">revealed</a> on Tuesday that they signed separate deals to support Humain's cloud and connectivity stack.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Amazon Web Services <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-aws-humain-ai-investment-in-saudi-arabia">announced</a> on May 13 a $5 billion plan to establish a dedicated AI Zone in Saudi Arabia, which includes the deployment of Amazon Bedrock and AWS SageMaker, giving Saudi AI researchers a full stack of tools to scale model training and application development.
The partnerships come as the Trump administration rolls back Biden-era semiconductor export rules. The Commerce Department has ended the &#8220;AI diffusion&#8221; restriction, which previously required special licenses to export advanced AI chips. The policy shift is designed to favor trusted allies while keeping U.S.-made technology away from geopolitical rivals like China, Fortune says.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Saudi Arabia's Push Reshapes Global AI Dynamics</h2>
Humain's rise signals a strategic redirection in the global AI ecosystem. While U.S.-based clients like Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)) and Amazon still dominate Nvidia's distribution priorities, Fortune reports that Saudi Arabia now joins a short list of preferred global chip recipients, second only to the U.S.
Meanwhile, China has been restricted to using Nvidia's downgraded H20 chips, designed to comply with U.S. export controls but lacking the full performance of Blackwell processors. &#8220;China is the big loser,&#8221; Ives told Fortune, citing both the technology gap and increased trade complications as key disadvantages.
With support from top-tier U.S. tech firms and full government alignment, Saudi Arabia appears positioned to drive the next wave of AI development. As Humain builds out its infrastructure, the world is watching a new power center emerge in the global tech arena.

$600B AI Opportunity: Nvidia's 18,000-Chip Deal With Saudi Arabia's Humain Puts Middle East 'Front Of The Line,' Says Wedbush's Dan Ives

The past week was a whirlwind of activity in the world of finance and cryptocurrency. From high-profile endorsements to controversial statements, the news cycle was dominated by big names and even bigger claims.
Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories that made headlines.
Kevin O&#8217;Leary Challenges Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s Crypto Stance

Kevin O'Leary Takes On Elizabeth Warren, Trump's Dinner Dates And Big Predictions: This Week In Crypto

If you've ever gone through a divorce — or know someone who has — you know the paperwork can feel endless. Between lawyers, court dates, and property settlements, it's easy to sign something just to move on.&nbsp;
But according to financial expert Dave Ramsey, there's one move divorcing men should never make without a second thought — and your lawyer might not be waving the red flag.
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/992233353064311/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v">Facebook post from his official account last week</a>, Ramsey issued a no-nonsense warning:
"Most divorce attorneys make a huge legal error. I'm calling you boys and girls out."

</ul>
He's talking about the all-too-common situation where the wife keeps the house — often because she's raising the kids — and the husband signs over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44067520/should-we-deed-the-house-to-them-or-have-them-pay-rent-couple-seeks-dave-ramseys-advice-on-parents-moving-into-a-house-they-own">ownership through a quitclaim deed</a>. But while the man gives up his rights to the property, the mortgage in his name stays exactly where it is: on his credit report.
Ramsey breaks it down like this:
"Husband and wife get divorced. There's a $260,000 mortgage. Husband doesn't get to keep the house. Wife is gonna get the house because the kids are living in the house and the divorce attorney says, ‘Well, just part of the settlement is you're going to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-quitclaim-deed">quitclaim your half of ownership</a> to her.' So he fills out a one-page quitclaim as part of the divorce decree — boom. But guess what? Husband still has a $260,000 mortgage."
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>

"Can't do it. Still got a $260,000 mortgage in his ex-wife's name. She owns the property but he's still got the mortgage. Dumb."
Ramsey's advice? Make it clear in the divorce agreement that if one spouse is keeping the house, they need to either refinance and remove the other person's name — or sell it outright.
"You're getting a divorce and doing a quitclaim deed — force a refinance or force the sale of the house. One of the two."
He adds that this mistake happens constantly because divorce attorneys are just doing what's easy. "It's easy, but it's wrong," Ramsey says.

So what happens if the divorce decree says the husband must continue paying the mortgage — or the wife can't refinance on her own?
While Ramsey doesn't address that directly, here are a few common facts to consider:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A divorce decree does not remove someone from a mortgage. Only refinancing or paying it off can do that.</li>
<li>If one spouse stops making payments, <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/what-to-know-about-divorce-and-mortgage/">the lender can go after whoever is still on the loan</a> — regardless of who lives there.</li>
<li>Courts may order one spouse to make payments, but that doesn't stop late payments from hurting both credit scores. </li>
</ul>
Bottom line? Don't assume signing over a house means you're free and clear. As Ramsey puts it, skipping the refinance is a "huge mistake" — and one that could quietly wreck your financial future long after the ink on the divorce papers dries.&nbsp;
Of course, not every divorce looks the same. What's possible depends on your specific agreement — and sometimes, your options are limited.

Following President Trump&#8217;s demand for domestic manufacturing of iPhones or face a 25% tariff, top Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that Apple is unlikely to relocate its assembly lines back to the U.S., even under political pressure. According to Kuo, it&#8217;s more profitable for Apple to absorb the tariff.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45599817/apple-would-rather-absorb-a-25-iphone-tariff-than-move-production-to-the-us-says-analyst-no-guarantee-they-wont-face-repeated-tariff-threats-during-his-term">Read the full article here.</a>

Trump's 25% Tariffs, India Expansion, Trade-In Price Hike, And More: This Week In Appleverse

The past week has been a rollercoaster ride, with billionaires celebrating, banking moguls issuing warnings, and TV personalities pushing back. From the passing of President Donald Trump&#8217;s controversial tax package to the rising tensions over trade policy, the week was filled with significant developments.
Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories.
Warren Accuses Bezos And Musk Of Celebrating Tax Package
Senator&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) criticized President Trump&#8217;s $3.8 trillion tax package, accusing billionaires&nbsp;Jeff Bezos&nbsp;and&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;of celebrating its passing. The House approved the legislation with a narrow margin of 215-214. Warren referred to the bill as a &#8220;big tax handout for billionaires,&#8221; funded by stripping 14 million people of their health insurance.

Dimon Predicts S&amp;P Earnings Could Fall To 0%
Jamie Dimon, CEO of&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., warned that Wall Street&#8217;s expectations for S&amp;P 500 earnings growth could plummet from 12% to 0% due to the impact of tariffs. Dimon, who accurately predicted trouble before the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse, suggested that equity valuations face downward pressure.

Trump&#8217;s $3.8 Trillion Bill Passes House
President Trump&#8217;s $3.8 trillion tax-and-spending package narrowly passed the House of Representatives, causing 30-year Treasury yields to spike to 5.15% — the highest level since October 2023. While the package promises immediate economic stimulus, market analysts warn of significant long-term fiscal consequences.

Bezos And Musk Celebrate, Dimon Warns And O'Leary Pushes Back: This Week In Economy

월요일(21일) 금 가격이 사상 최고치로 급등했다. 금은 월요일 오전 11시 20분(동부표준시 기준) 온스당 2.5% 상승한 3,410달러로 상승했다. 이는 미국 금융자산에 대한 불신과 인플레이션 우려로 인해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2010년대 초</a> 글로벌 부채 위기 이후 볼 수 없었던 안전자산으로의 도피가 이어지는 것을 의미한다.
3월 초부터 SPDR Gold Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>)가 추적하는 금 가격은 19.4%라는 놀라운 상승률을 기록하며 2011년 8월 이후 가장 강력한 2개월 랠리를 이어가고 있다.
거시 경제 불안정성, 정치적 마찰, 달러와 미국 국채에 대한 투자자들의 회의론이 &#8216;퍼펙트 스톰&#8217;을 일으키며 금 상승세를 지지했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">금 가격 급등의 배경은?</h3>
금의 극적인 상승 근원은 펀더멘털, 구조적, 행동적 동인의 강력한 조합에 있다.
한때 안전한 피난처였던 미국 달러와 장기 국채는 최근 몇 주 동안 도널드 트럼프 대통령의 관세 공세와 제롬 파월 연준 의장과의 불화가 심화되면서 정치적 개입에 대한 우려가 커지고 미국 기관에 대한 신뢰가 약화되는 가운데 압력을 받고 있다.
이러한 상황에서 중립적이고 오랜 기간 검증된 가치 저장 수단이라는 금의 명성은 안정성을 추구하는 자본을 끌어들이고 있다.
그 결과 전통적인 헤지 수단이 흔들리는 중이다. 그러나 금은 권력자의 실수에 영향을 받지 않고 수 세기에 걸친 가치 저장 수단으로서의 지위를 바탕으로 하기 때문에 거시적 불확실성 증가로부터 피난처를 찾는 자본의 피난처로 부상했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">금 ETF에 대한 대규모 자금 유입, 강력한 투자 수요 의미</h3>
금에 대한 투자자들의 열망은 트럼프가 백악관으로 공식 복귀한 1월 중순 이후 금으로 뒷받침되는 상장지수펀드(ETF)로의 대규모 자금 유입을 통해 분명히 확인할 수 있다.

이러한 대규모 유입 흐름은 광범위한 기관 및 소매 수요를 나타낸다. 골드만삭스 애널리스트 리나 토마스는 이번 랠리가 단기 투기 세력에 의해 주도되고 있지 않다고 말했다.
토마스는 "데이터에 따르면 투기적 흐름이 크게 회복되지 않은 상태에서 이러한 움직임이 발생했다&#8221;고 했다.
"COMEX 투기 포지션이 여전히 온건한 것으로 추정되는 가운데, 이번 랠리는 구조적으로 뒷받침되고 있으며 급격한 단기 청산 위험에 덜 노출된 것으로 보인다. 따라서 현재 수준을 전술적으로 매력적인 진입점으로 보고 있으며, 이는 연말 전망치인 3,700달러에 대한 상승 리스크를 강화한다고 생각한다.&#8221;
야데니 리서치의 대표인 에드 야데니는 현재의 금 모멘텀이 1년 전의 자신의 주장을 입증하고 있다고 말했다.
&#8220;2024년 2월 말 온스당 2,000달러를 돌파한 이후 금에 대해 강세를 보였다. 올해 말까지 4,000달러 목표가 점점 더 현실적으로 보인다. 그렇게 된다면 2026년 말에는 5,000달러가 목표가 될 것이다.&#8221;
더 골드 불리언 컴퍼니(The Gold Bullion Company)의 릭 칸다(Rick Kanda)는 이렇게 말했다. "이러한 상황은 많은 자산에 위기로 다가올 수 있지만, 금에 있어서는 완벽한 결과다. 미국 주식시장에서 수조 달러의 손실이 발생하고 투자자들이 주식이나 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 같은 위험 자산보다는 안전자산을 찾아 실물 금으로 기울면서 인플레이션에 대한 우려가 여전히 높다.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">금광업체들, 모멘텀 되찾다</h3>
이러한 금 랠리는 2024년 대부분의 기간 동안 실물 금괴가 부진했던 금광업체들도 끌어올리고 있다. 반에크는 월요일에 "금은 금 상장지수펀드에 대한 새로운 자금 유입과 글로벌 중앙은행의 지속적인 수요 강세에 힘입어 온스당 3,000달러를 넘어 사상 최고치까지 치솟았다&#8221;고 했다.
"동시에 금광업체는 금 가격에 대한 레버리지를 회복하기 시작하여 올해 지금까지 가장 실적이 좋은 주식으로 부상하고 있다."
VanEck Gold Miners ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>)는 연초 대비 52% 가까이 상승하며 2007년 펀드 출범 이후 가장 높은 연간 상승률을 기록했다.
금의 강력한 랠리에 대응하여 월요일 뱅크오브아메리카는 북미 금 및 은 관련 기업에 대한 목표주가를 올렸다.
이는 귀금속 부문의 1분기 실적 시즌을 앞두고 나온 조치로, 4월 23일에는 뉴몬트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>), 4월 24일에는 애그니코 이글 마인스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>)가 실적을 발표할 예정이다.

금 가격은 글로벌 시장의 불확실성 속에서 최고치를 경신하고 있지만, 일부 전문가들은 이러한 금 강세 속에서 심각한 조정이 다가올 수 있다고 지적했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 금 현물 미국 달러가 온스당 3,357.81달러로 최고치를 경신하고 3,300달러 위에서 거래되고 있지만, 전문가들은 이러한 상승세에 대해 경고하기 시작했다.
NorthstarBadcharts.com의 공동 설립자인 패트릭 카림에 따르면, 금은 강세장 내에서도 조정을 겪는다.
그가 공유한 데이터에 따르면 금 가격은 1974년 12월부터 1976년 8월까지 48%, 2008년 3월부터 2008년 10월까지 33%, 2020년 8월부터 2022년 9월까지 22% 이상 조정된 것으로 나타났다.

But even during bull markets, gold had these corrections:
Dec 1974 to Aug 1976, drop over 48%. Mar 2008 to Oct 2008, drop over 33%. Aug 2020 to Sep 2022, drop over 22%.

한편, 카르도네 캐피털(Cardone Capital)의 그랜트 카르도네 CEO는 이렇게 말했다 "금은 불황에 빠진 것처럼 움직임을 보인다. 가격이 훅 떨어질 것이다.&#8221;

크리에이티브 플래닝의 찰리 빌렐로가 공유한 데이터에 따르면, 인플레이션 조정 금 가격은 45년 만에 다시 사상 최고치를 기록해 1980년의 최고치를 넘어섰다.

경제학자 모하메드 엘 에리언은 금 상승은 일부 외국 중앙은행 등이 느리지만 꾸준히 달러화에서 벗어난 다변화의 결과라고 말했다.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
The price of gold registered another record high today, overcoming yet another periodic round of profit-taking by some tactical traders — this as it benefits from the tailwind of slow and steady diversification away from the dollar by some foreign central banks and others.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/gold?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#gold</a>… <a href="https://t.co/MKDnxZddv0">pic.twitter.com/MKDnxZddv0</a>

이는 &#8216;달러 격변: 이번에는 다르다&#8217;라는 제목의 연구에서도 확인되었다. 5명의 전문가가 작성한 이 메모는 투자자들이 "(i) 국채뿐만 아니라 달러의 안전성에 의문을 제기하고 있으며, (ii) 이러한 변화가 장기적으로 지속될 것으로 인식하고 있다"고 결론지었다.
"일반적으로 글로벌 변동성이 커지면&#8230; 달러화 표시 자산이 안전자산으로 이동하면서 달러 가치가 상승한다. 하지만 이번에는 그렇지 않다.&#8221;
따라서 투자자들이 미국 국채인 달러화보다 안전자산인 금을 선호한 것이 분명하다.
왜 중요한가: 금 현물 미국 달러 가격은 2024년 12월 31일 온스당 2,623.81달러에서 현재 3,332.16달러로 27% 상승했다.
지난 25년 동안의 데이터와 비교하면 금 가격은 1999년 12월 31일의 288.25달러에서 1056% 급등했다. 이에 비해 S&amp;P 500 지수는 1999년 12월 31일 1,469.25포인트에서 수요일 종가 기준 5,275.70포인트로 259.1% 상승했다.
금 가격은 연초 대비 126.5% 상승한 1979년 이후 최고의 한 해를 기록할 것으로 예상된다.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

금 가격 3,400달러 근접, 전문가들은 강세장 속 '조정' 예상

금 가격이 최고치를 경신하고 있는 가운데, 전문가들은 엇갈린 경제 지표와 도널드 트럼프 대통령의 관세 부과 임박으로 인한 경제 불확실성이 커지면서 금이 더 상승할 여지가 있다고 보고 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 금 가격은 화요일(1일) 온스당 3,149.03달러로 최고치를 경신하며 4월 2일 기준 전년 대비 18.78% 상승했다.
전문가들은 관세 부과로 인한 글로벌 공급망의 혼란으로 기업들이 공급 경로를 재검토하게 될 것이기 때문에 관세 부과가 이러한 급등의 원인이라고 보고 있다.
비투프라임 그룹(B2PRIME Group)의 창립자이자 전무 이사인 유제니아 미쿨리악(Eugenia Mykuliak)은 공급망의 재조정은 "신흥 시장에서 자본 유출과 시장 변동성 증가로 이어질 것"이라고 말한다. 따라서 경계하는 투자자들은 자연스럽게 안전자산으로 피난처를 찾을 것이며, 금은 이러한 변화의 혜택을 가장 확실하게 누릴 수 있는 자산이 될 것&#8221;이라고 했다.
IBV 인터내셔널 볼트의 션 호이(Sean Hoey) 전무이사도 "금의 기록적인 급등은 트럼프 대통령의 최근 관세로 인한 경제 불확실성과 시장 변동성이 커지고 있음을 분명히 반영한 것"이라고 덧붙였다.
그는 전 세계 투자자들이 "인플레이션과 지정학적 불안정성에 대한 헤지 수단으로서 금의 역할을 강화하기 위해 금으로 눈을 돌리고 있다"고 생각한다.
미쿨리악은 금 가격 상승이 계속될 것이라고 재확인했다. "중앙은행과 기관 투자자들은 이미 금 보유량을 늘리고 있으며, 불확실성이 지속되는 동안 금의 가격 상승세는 계속될 것이다.&#8221;
왜 중요한가: 유로팩의 수석 이코노미스트이자 글로벌 전략가이자 쉬프골드의 회장인 피터 쉬프는 이렇게 말했다. "1913년 연준이 설립된 이래 달러는 구매력의 95%를 잃었다. 반면 금은 안정적으로 유지되고 있다. 즉, 달러로 측정하면 상승하고 있다. 1913년에는 1온스로 고급 정장 한 벌을 살 수 있었고, 오늘날에도 여전히 그렇다. 이는 우연이 아니다. 통화 공급과 신용의 가용성이 확대되면 물가는 상승한다."
또한 피터 쉬프는 제롬 파월 연준 의장의 정책을 믿지 말라고 경고하며, 인플레이션이나 잠재적 경기침체에 효과적으로 대처하지 못하고 있다고 했다. 그에 따르면 진정한 해결책은 자유시장 원칙과 금과 같은 자산에 대한 투자에 있다.
2025년 금 가격이 18% 이상 상승할 것으로 예상되는 가운데, 투자자들이 고려할 만한 금 상장지수펀드 목록을 소개한다.
