최근 도널드 트럼프 대통령이 파나마 운하의 지위 변경 가능성에 대해 언급한 발언은 여러 주식과 상장지수펀드(ETF)에 미칠 수 있는 영향에 대한 우려를 불러일으켰다. 전 세계 무역의 약 4%가 이 운하를 통과하며, 그 중 70% 이상이 미국을 오가는 화물이라는 점은 월스트리트 저널에 보도된 바 있다.

Frederick Smith, founder and executive chairman of FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>), died from natural causes on Saturday in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 80.
What Happened: Smith&#8217;s death marks the end of an era for the $84 billion global logistics giant he built from a Yale economics thesis into the world&#8217;s largest express transportation company. 
The Mississippi-born entrepreneur launched Federal Express in 1973 with 14 Dassault Falcon jets and $4 million in family inheritance. That first night, the company delivered 186 packages to 25 cities. Today, FedEx moves $2 trillion in goods annually across 220 countries, employing over 500,000 workers and processing 17 million daily shipments.
Smith&#8217;s military background shaped his leadership philosophy. The Marine Corps veteran served two Vietnam tours as a rifle platoon leader and company commander, earning the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and two Purple Hearts. He often credited the Marines with providing his &#8220;business degree.&#8221;
His overnight delivery concept, conceived at Yale in the 1960s, revolutionized global commerce by enabling just-in-time manufacturing and e-commerce growth. The integrated air-ground network model became the industry standard.
Smith stepped down as CEO in 2022 after serving as one of the longest-tenured Fortune 100 leaders, transitioning to executive chairman while maintaining strategic oversight. Current CEO Raj Subramaniam called Smith a &#8220;pioneer who connected the world and shaped global commerce.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Beyond business, Smith co-chaired the World War II Memorial project and National Museum of the Marine Corps campaign. His philanthropic efforts included substantial donations to St. Jude Children&#8217;s Research Hospital and Memphis community development.
Tech leaders mourned Smith&#8217;s passing. Microsoft Corporation CEO Satya Nadella praised his &#8220;vision and relentless drive to innovate.&#8221; Salesforce Inc. CEO Marc Benioff called him &#8220;a gentle, kind, and brilliant giant of business.&#8221;

FedEx Founder Fred Smith Dies At 80: Marine Veteran, WWII Memorial Champion And Visionary CEO Mourned By Satya Nadella, Marc Benioff

B-2 Spirit bombers safely returned to Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri following a 36-hour mission that struck <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">three Iranian nuclear facilities</a>, the White House confirmed Sunday. Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) shares surged 5.28% to $524.00 in overnight trading on Robinhood&#8217;s 24-hour service.
What Happened: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the operation &#8220;historic,&#8221; marking the longest B-2 mission since 2001 and the first operational use of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). 
Seven B-2 bombers were launched from the continental United States and struck the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities between 6:40 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. Eastern time Saturday.
&#8220;Our B-2s went in and out of these nuclear sites without the world knowing at all,&#8221; Hegseth said, praising the operation&#8217;s operational security and precision timing.
The mission involved deception tactics, with part of the strike package flying west into the Pacific as a decoy while the main force proceeded east with minimal communications. Each bomber carried two crew members and completed multiple in-flight refuelings during the 18-hour flight to target areas.

Why It Matters: More than 125 U.S. aircraft participated, including stealth bombers, fighters, refueling tankers, and a guided missile submarine.
President Donald Trump announced the &#8220;spectacular military success&#8221; via Truth Social Saturday evening, stating the objective was &#8220;destruction of Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capacity.&#8221; The strikes followed Iran&#8217;s withdrawal from scheduled negotiations and refusal to engage in nuclear talks.
&#8220;The great B-2 pilots have just landed, safely, in Missouri. Thank you for a job well done!&#8221; Trump wrote. 
Northrop Grumman is showing strong momentum and a consistent upward price trend across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings.

Northrop Grumman Jumps 5% Overnight As B-2 Bombers Return To Missouri After 36-Hour Iran Strike: Trump Says 'Job Well Done'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has officially launched the Robotaxi in Austin as the self-driving taxi race in the U.S. shifts into gear.
What Happened: The rollout, which was a small-scale event with over 10 Tesla Model Y Robotaxis, took place in Austin's South Congress neighborhood on Sunday.
The event was invite-only and Tesla created a dedicated app for the riders, who were mostly social media influencers, to book rides similar to other ride-hailing apps like Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>).
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Tesla also had safety monitors seated in the front seat during the rides. The safety monitors were Tesla employees overseeing the operations, though there were no confirmations about how much control they had, given that the Robotaxi was operating on Unsupervised FSD.
The EV giant&#8217;s CEO, Elon Musk, took to social media to hail the launch on the social media platform X on Sunday. Musk called the launch a "culmination of a decade of hard work" in his post and shared that both the AI Chip, as well as the software team responsible for the Robotaxi, "were built from scratch within Tesla."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The launch comes in as Tesla has been teasing the company's arrival in the self-driving taxis sector to take on players like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo as well as Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox.
While Waymo had announced its expansion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45988738/tesla-robotaxi-rival-waymo-expands-services-in-california-amid-us-autonomous-vehicle-push">into more parts</a> of California and the company is also conducting trials in other parts of the U.S., Zoox <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46011055/amazon-backed-zoox-launches-california-robotaxi-plant-tesla-rival-targets-10000-vehicles-a-year">set up a second production facility</a> in California, which could help the company scale its Robotaxi operations.
Tesla, meanwhile, has been under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041090/tesla-faces-safety-questions-from-regulators-ahead-of-robotaxi-launch-in-austin">scrutiny of safety regulators</a> in the U.S. as the NHTSA has been reviewing the company's responses to the questions posed by the agency over FSD's performance in poor weather conditions.
Musk had previously also stated that Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46019450/elon-musk-says-tesla-works-closely-with-xai-you-can-either-be-a-spectator">is working closely </a>with the billionaire's AI venture, xAI, to collaborate and develop robotics as well as autonomous driving.

Tesla Launches Robotaxi In Austin: Elon Musk Calls It A 'Culmination Of A Decade Of Hard Work'

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor hinted at more Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purchases Sunday, despite the apex cryptocurrency's dip below $100,000 due to escalating Middle East tensions.
What happened: Saylor posted a chart that tracks the company&#8217;s Bitcoin purchases on X, with the caption, &#8220;Nothing Stops This Orange.&#8221;

The total value of the stash was worth nearly $60 billion as of this writing, marking an unrealized gain of 43%.
Peter Schiff, economist and vocal Bitcoin critic, weighed in, asking who else is "buying the dip below $100k?"

Strategy's Michael Saylor Signals No Halt To Bitcoin Purchases Despite Plunge Below $100,000: Peter Schiff Asks Who Else Is Buying The Dip

South Korea is preparing to confront U.S. officials over potential restrictions on chipmakers operating in China.
What Happened: Ahead of the third round of tariff talks in Washington this week, South Korean Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo said he will raise industry concerns over possible U.S. curbs that could hurt Korean semiconductor firms in China, reported Reuters.
&#8220;I will pass on the concerns among those in the industry and take utmost care,&#8221; Yeo told reporters before departing for Washington on Sunday.
The talks were originally expected to conclude with a trade agreement by July 8, but Yeo indicated that the deadline may slip due to political and economic uncertainties in the U.S., the report added.

Yeo, who was appointed this month by newly elected President Lee Jae Myung, also plans to meet officials at the White House and U.S. Congress to discuss multiple trade issues, including a U.S. request for South Korea to relax its restrictions on American beef imports.

South Korea May Delay US Trade Deal Over Threats To Its China-Based Chipmakers

The State Department issued a Worldwide Caution Security alert on Sunday, advising U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution as the Israel-Iran conflict disrupts regional travel and threatens American interests globally.
What Happened: The escalation follows Saturday&#8217;s U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which President Donald Trump described as having &#8220;totally obliterated&#8221; key sites. 
Ben Gurion Airport remains closed with no scheduled commercial flights operating. The State Department has initiated assisted departure flights for U.S. citizens and permanent residents from Israel, directing travelers to complete crisis intake forms at mytravel.state.gov. 
Land crossings to Jordan operate with extended delays, while Egypt&#8217;s Taba crossing remains open 24 hours daily.
Iranian airspace closure forces departures through Azerbaijan, Armenia, or Turkey. U.S.-Iranian dual nationals must exit on Iranian passports and face potential questioning at checkpoints, as Iran doesn&#8217;t recognize dual citizenship.

Why It Matters: Iran&#8217;s parliament voted Sunday to authorize the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the world&#8217;s most critical oil shipping chokepoint, handling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46044009/us-iran-tensions-escalate-as-iran-threatens-hormuz-closure-potentially-rattling-global-oil-markets">roughly 20% of global petroleum liquids</a> transit. While largely symbolic, the vote grants Iran&#8217;s Supreme National Security Council authority to proceed with the measure.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043406/us-vs-iran-irans-foreign-minister-heads-to-moscow-accuses-us-of-derailing-nuclear-talks">traveled to Moscow for a meeting</a> with Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing Washington of derailing nuclear negotiations. Tehran condemned U.S. actions as crossing &#8220;a very big red line&#8221; while asserting its right to defend &#8220;by all means necessary.&#8221;
The Swiss Protecting Power office in Tehran remains closed, leaving Americans in Iran without consular assistance during the crisis.

US Issues Worldwide Caution After Strikes On Iran's Nuclear Sites: State Department Warns Of Airspace Closures, Travel Chaos And Rising Threats To Americans Abroad

Former Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) vice-president Ethan Evans says working for a bad boss will wreck your career faster than any missed promotion, arguing that employees should leave managers who fail to mentor or advocate for them.
What Happened: "Do not work for a bad manager! Whether that manager is truly ‘bad,' or simply not a fit for your personality, style, and goals, you need to work for someone who will support you," Evans wrote in a widely shared thread on X.
Evans, who spent 15 years at Amazon before retiring in 2018, said he wasted a decade "worrying obsessively about career growth and moving up," only to realize stress delivered "nothing the hard work, learning, good bosses and growing companies wouldn't have given me anyway."

In his post, he listed four drivers of advancement, which include "doing lots of good work," "growing your skills," "partnering with good bosses," and "finding growing companies," and warned that the last two "may matter even more."
The 54-year-old recalled joining three startups as a vice-president, watching each boom, shrink and eventually lay him off. "I lost everything I put into the company stock and got let go in the layoffs," he wrote, noting his hair turned gray from the strain before he dyed it &#8220;to look promotable.&#8221;
Those experiences convinced him that obsessing over titles while tolerating poor leadership "won't get you there faster and it WILL give you gray hair."
Why It Matters: Evans said his fortunes reversed only after he joined Amazon under mentors who "sponsored my growth." Five promotions later, he <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethanevansvp/">ran</a> Prime Video and Twitch commerce. "Find the right company and boss, then do the work," he wrote. Otherwise, "move if you do not have an advocate."
Career coaches echo the advice. Research by The Conversation <a href="https://theconversation.com/toxic-bosses-are-a-global-issue-with-devastating-consequences-for-organizations-and-employees-235750">shows</a> that toxic bosses can destroy confidence, reduce commitment, and damage an employee's sense of belonging. Evans now coaches tech professionals and says his biggest regret is "how stressful I allowed my career to be," a mistake he hopes others can avoid by prioritizing supportive leadership over prestige.

Ex-Amazon VP Says Working For A Bad Manager Is Worse Than Worrying About Moving Up The Career Ladder: 'One Of My Biggest Regrets…'

Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) was trading higher Sunday night, bucking the decline in the broader cryptocurrency market.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based memecoin jumped over 6% in the last 24 hours, with trading volume spiking 20% to $267 million.
The rally propelled FARTCOIN to become one of the market&#8217;s top gainers and the most successful memecoin in the last 24 hours.
The spike defied the broader dip, with heavyweights like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) falling 1.24% and 1.22%, respectively, on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/46045060/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-fall-as-us-involvement-in-iran-israel-war-threatens-oil-prices-spike-arthur-hayes-says-weakness-shall-pass-and-btc-will-show-its-safe-haven-status">escalating geopolitical tensions</a> and rising oil prices.
Interestingly, FARTCOIN also outperformed in April when other currencies were rocked by President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44660568/fartcoin-returns-over-8-in-a-week-marked-by-dogecoin-ethereum-bloodbath">sweeping tariff measures</a>. The coin reached a high of $1.60 in May but has plummeted over 40% since then.
The key&nbsp;Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of an asset&#8217;s price, flashed a &#8220;Sell&#8221; signal for FARTCOIN, <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/FARTCOINUSDT/technicals/?exchange=KRAKEN">according</a> to TradingView. However, the Stochastic RSI, which measures the level of the RSI relative to its high-low range over a period, signaled a &#8220;Buy.&#8221;
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, FARTCOIN was exchanging hands at $0.9355, up 6.19% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

Fartcoin Defies Bitcoin, Ethereum Retreat With A 6% Rally Sunday Night — What's Going On?

Tech bull Dan Ives believes that the markets, particularly the tech sector, will interpret the recent events in Iran as a turning point.
What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, Ives framed the events that took place over the weekend as &#8220;a positive&#8221; for stability and growth in the Middle East, along with that of the tech sector.
&#8220;The market will view this Iran threat as now gone, and that is a positive for growth in the broader Middle East and ultimately the tech sector,&#8221; Ives said, referring to the events that took place over the weekend, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46042703/iran-calls-us-bombing-of-nuclear-sites-very-very-dangerous-for-everybody">U.S. launching airstrikes</a> on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

He, however, acknowledges that it would take some time for the conflict to settle, while adding that when it comes to the markets, the &#8220;worst is now in the rear-view mirror,&#8221; he says, &#8220;expect stocks up.&#8221;
With this, Ives gives a clear signal that the markets that have been jittery over flaring tensions in the region could witness a turnaround this week.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Why It Matters: Ives&#8217; sentiments echo those of veteran investor Steve Eisman, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46014941/the-big-short-investor-steve-eisman-says-iran-crisis-could-be-extremely-positive-for-markets-calls-regime-a-death-cult-close-to-nuclear-weapons">stated last week</a> that the crisis in Iran may ultimately prove &#8220;extremely positive&#8221; for global markets and geopolitical stability. 
Eisman refers to the Middle-Eastern state as a &#8220;death cult,&#8221; while adding that getting rid of such a death cult anywhere in the world &#8220;is a very positive thing.&#8221;
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman similarly commended the strikes, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043708/us-airstrike-on-iran-draws-varied-reactions-from-business-leaders-bill-ackman-says-thank-you-to-our-great-military">thanking the U.S. military</a> for its &#8220;superb execution on ridding Iran&nbsp;of its nuclear threat.&#8221;

However, there are others, such as the founder of Tolou Capital Management, Spencer Hakimian, who warns of potential escalations by Iran, such as closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy vein, which could disrupt the global economy by sending energy prices higher.

Dan Ives Says Iran Threat Is 'In Rear-View Mirror' — Calls It 'Positive' For The Middle East And The Tech Sector

Over the weekend, ChatGPT-parent OpenAI pulled all public materials related to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">$6.5 billion acquisition</a> of Jony Ive's AI hardware startup, IO Products.
What Happened: The takedown followed a trademark lawsuit filed by IYO Inc., a separate AI device company, which claims the &#8220;IO&#8221; branding infringes on its intellectual property, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-22/jony-ive-deal-removed-from-openai-site-over-trademark-suit">reported</a> Bloomberg.
A spokesperson for OpenAI confirmed the removal to the publication and said it was due to the ongoing legal matter. Ive's representative called the suit "an utterly baseless complaint," adding, "We'll fight it vigorously."
Earlier, the publication reported that a judge was weighing a preliminary injunction that could bar OpenAI from using the IO name during the legal proceedings.

Ive, the former chief design officer at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), is renowned for designing iconic products like the iPhone and MacBook.
Following the acquisition announcement in May, Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, said that OpenAI poses the first major competitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45599511/apple-faces-first-serious-threat-in-20-years-as-openai-acquires-iphone-makers-former-design-chief-jo">threat to Apple in 20 years</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Apple's stock shows a negative price trend across short, medium and long-term periods.

Analyst Notes: In a note to Benzinga, the co-founder and COO of Bitcoin IRA said, "The biggest fear for the U.S. economy remains the geopolitical choke point of the Strait of Hormuz, where retaliation could skyrocket oil prices and cause significant economic uncertainty.
He said that this could boost Bitcoin's appeal, as the coin represents a "freedom from fiat currency and the economic constraints" that come with traditional monetary systems
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX and Chief Investment Officer at Maelstrom Fund, noted Bitcoin's dip below $100,000 and anticipated more central bank money printing and government spending in the future.
"This weakness shall pass and BTC will leave no doubt as to its safe haven status," he added.

On the AgingCare forum, a 72-year-old man <a href="https://www.agingcare.com/questions/my-mother-is-going-to-outlive-her-money-this-year-she-will-have-to-leave-her-private-pay-al-facility-445277.htm">turned to the community</a> with a heartbreaking question: "Am I a bad son if I don't want to do this?"
His 94-year-old mother had "outlived her money," and her private-pay assisted living facility—the last one available in his area—was no longer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">financially sustainable</a>. Once her funds ran out, she'd be left with only one option: a Medicaid-funded nursing home.
He considered bringing her home, but he'd already tried that. Twice. And both times ended badly.
"Bickering and fighting reached a point where I had to get her out or lose my marriage," he wrote.

His mother's needs had grown. She was no longer walking, refused to bathe in the shower, needed help changing soiled adult diapers, and insisted on keeping the house at 80 degrees due to being "perpetually cold." Her memory was fading. She was demanding and forgetful. He admitted that taking her in again would be a "24 x 7" responsibility—and would likely destroy his marriage.
Faced with guilt, pressure, and financial strain, he turned to strangers online to ask whether applying for Medicaid and placing her in a nursing facility made him a failure.
The community's response was clear and compassionate.
"You're not a bad son," one user told him. "But your status as a good husband may suffer if you do [bring her home]."

Others pointed out that his mother's needs—mobility issues, incontinence, memory loss—likely qualified her for skilled nursing care. Some encouraged him to contact Medicaid immediately. One user advised: "She is beyond assisted living and needs a skilled nursing facility… You'll be a much better son if her physical needs are being met by a team of workers."
According to <a href="https://www.carescout.com/cost-of-care">Genworth's 2024 Cost of Care Survey</a>, the median cost of a private room in a nursing home is $10,646 per month, making long-term care unaffordable for most retirees without assistance.
Ultimately, the man returned to the thread with an update. He said he planned to follow the advice: move his mother into a nursing facility a couple of months before her money runs out, pay privately at first, and begin the Medicaid application during that window.
"Now in just two days, there is the kernel of a plan," he wrote. "Lots of work to do and people to contact… Ample time to do things right."

While the 94-year-old mother may not have planned for her situation, her son's dilemma highlights a widespread concern: Americans across generations worry about running out of money in retirement, according to a <a href="https://www.allianzlife.com/about/newsroom/2025-Press-Releases/Americans-Are-More-Worried-About-Running-Out-of-Money-Than-Death">2025 Allianz Life study</a>. The fear is especially pronounced among Gen Xers (70%) and millennials (66%), but even among baby boomers—many of whom are already retired—61% say they're concerned about outliving their savings.
This specific case illustrates a larger cultural tension: wanting to honor family while also protecting one's own mental health and marriage.&nbsp;

But protecting your marriage and your mental health doesn't make you a bad child—it makes you human.

I'll Lose My Marriage' — 72-Year-Old Man Asks If He's A Bad Son For Applying For Medicaid To Place His Broke 94-Year-Old Mom In A Nursing Home

By the end of his life, Charlie Munger had seen just about everything—wars, depressions, dot-com bubbles, and the rise of billionaires in hoodies. But it was at the <a href="https://youtu.be/u5TI8mPImPk?si=YIgGG5UMiAliZ2rT">2022 Daily Journal shareholder meeting</a>, a full year before his passing, that the Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman delivered one of his most sobering—and simultaneously sharpest—observations yet: America's poor used to bury their children. Now, he said, "they're too fat."
At 98 years old, Munger still wielded a wit as dry as the Mojave and a memory sharper than most men's ambition. Speaking from a small conference room in Los Angeles, a can of Diet Coke in front of him—always repping a Berkshire favorite—he was asked what worried him most about the economy and the stock market—and what gave him hope.

</ul>
"You have to be optimistic about the competency of our technical civilization," Munger said, ever the rationalist. But, he added, the nature of what we consider "problems" has radically shifted.
"In the past, if you wanted three children," Munger said, "you had to have six, because three died in infancy. That was our ancestors. Think of the agony of watching half your children die."
That wasn't metaphor. Munger was born in 1924. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42416245/charlie-munger-found-it-weird-how-life-was-pretty-brutal-and-short-but-now-things-are-600-better-and-yet-people-are-less-happy">remembered the tail end of those days</a>.
"And now," he said, pausing slightly for effect, "the principal problem of the poor people is they're too fat."
It wasn't a punchline. It was a statement of contrast, loaded with perspective and more than a little bite. "That is a very different place from what happened in the past. In the past, they were on the edge of starving."
Munger's genius wasn't just in numbers. It was in pattern recognition—especially the patterns nobody liked to talk about.
Despite what he called "an enormous increase in living standards and freedom and diminishment of racial inequities," Munger lamented a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45110288/99-year-old-billionaire-charlie-munger-said-iron-rule-of-life-is-everybody-struggles-but-you-have-to-soldier-through-its-your-only-option">darker irony of modern life</a>: "People are less happy about the state of affairs than they were when things were way tougher."
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
Why?
"It has a very simple explanation," Munger said. "The world is not driven by greed. It's driven by envy."
Yes, even the man <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44855242/charlie-munger-once-highlighted-how-warren-buffetts-lifelong-learning-made-berkshire-hathaways-success-possible-and-the-crucial-lesson-you-can-take-from-it">who'd sat beside Warren Buffett</a> for half a century, building one of the world's most envied fortunes, argued that it wasn't wealth itself that made society churn—it was comparison.
"They take it for granted," he said of modern Americans. "All they think about is somebody else is having more now, and it's not fair that he should have it and they don't."
This wasn't just some philosophical quip for Munger. He reached straight for the Old Testament to make his point: "That's the reason that God came down and told Moses you couldn't envy your neighbor's wife—or even his donkey."
Yes, Munger really said donkey. "Even the old Jews were having trouble with envy."
From envy to economics to public safety, Munger wove it all together, noting that as a kid during the Great Depression in Omaha, Nebraska, he felt safer walking the streets than he did in modern-day Los Angeles. Even after all the societal gains, he said, "a lot of people are very unhappy and feel very abused after everything's improved by about 600%."
Then came a personal confession, rare for a man known for his cold-eyed analysis: "I have conquered envy in my own life. I don't envy anybody. I don't give a damn what somebody else has."

But not everyone's so lucky. And many, he noted, "play to the envy in order to advance their own political careers," even entire media networks "pour gasoline on the flames of envy."
Still, even in his cynicism, Munger offered advice—especially for the younger generation tempted by Instagram lifestyles and status watches.
"If you stop to think of the pretentious expenditures of the rich—who in the hell needs a real Rolex watch, so you can get mugged for it?" he said. "Don't go there. The hell of the pretentious expenditure—I don't think there's much happiness in it."
But here's the kicker: it's those same expenditures, those same ego-driven flexes, that drive the capitalist engine. "It does drive the civilization we actually have," he said. "It drives the dissatisfaction."
Munger referenced Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, pointing out that objectively, life has vastly improved. But, he said, "as it gets better and better, people are less and less satisfied. That is weird—but that's what's happened."
In the end, Munger's message wasn't just about the economy. It was about human nature. How we never stop comparing. How we rewrite our own baseline for suffering. And how, in the land of plenty, we've somehow convinced ourselves we're starving.
But maybe the real hunger is for contentment.

Billionaire Charlie Munger Said Watching Your Kids Die Was Once the 'Agony of Poverty' — Now the Poor's Biggest Problem Is 'They're Too Fat'

Costs for various goods and services have soared over the years. Many restaurants have raised their prices, even fast food restaurants that previously touted low prices in their marketing efforts.&nbsp;
Some people have adjusted to these costs by eating out less and doing more grocery shopping. However, some people have been taken aback by recent grocery price hikes, and it's even <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1le08bs/is_it_me_or_budgeting_for_groceries_is_becoming/">affecting Walmart shoppers</a>. This trend generated quite the chatter on Reddit as people talked about how much groceries have gone up, even if you don't live in a city or shop at Whole Foods.
"Our grocery bill is insane," a Walmart shopper said on Reddit.

The Redditor lives by a keto diet, which eliminates cheap foods like beans, rice, and potatoes. This post came in the Dave Ramsey subreddit, where people are looking carefully at how they spend money and working hard to get out of debt. A few people offered suggestions for navigating higher costs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Survival Mode' Grocery List</h2>
One Redditor explained that they created a ‘survival mode' grocery list that costs $75 per week during emergencies. This list consists of spinach, blueberries, bread, protein (the Redditor mentioned salmon and turkey), bananas, and some protein powder.
However, this Redditor mentioned that they live alone without any kids. Some people can operate on less food, but there is a limit. If you find yourself living too close to the edge, it may be worth picking up a side hustle to boost your income or look for other expenses to cut.
Groceries should be one of the last expenses you cut. It's better to cancel every single streaming subscription and other unnecessary costs before trimming groceries. Avoiding places like Whole Foods can also get more mileage out of every dollar you spend on groceries.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buy What's On Sale</h2>
Many grocery stores will run special sales to attract more customers and sell inventory that has been a little slow. Some Redditors use this to their advantage and only buy food that is on sale.
Hunting for discounts can reduce your grocery bill while resulting in a good meal. Some people apply this strategy to other spending categories instead of limiting it to grocery bills.
"I base what I cook completely on what's on sale that week," one Redditor stated.
Other Redditors suggested buying in bulk. It's similar to buying what's on sale since larger orders allow you to buy the same groceries at a lower price. For instance, if you buy bottled water, it's much cheaper to buy an entire case than it is to buy individual water bottles.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Medical Bills Are Worse</h2>
Although you can save money by eating unhealthy food, one Redditor warned that medical bills are a lot more expensive if you neglect your health. Those medical bills can also pile up when you are retired and don't have a salary to keep you afloat.
While healthy food is more expensive, it is an investment in the present and the future. You'll feel better by consistently eating healthy food, and you will be less likely to incur substantial medical bills when you get older.
You can still look for coupons and shop at grocery stores that offer plenty of value for your dollar. Some people said that prices have soared over the past few years but remained stable over the past year.

'Our Grocery Bill Is Insane'—Why Even Budget-Savvy Shoppers Are Struggling at Walmart Now

A father&#8217;s post revealing a hefty Disneyland breakfast bill of $937.65 has caused widespread disbelief and criticism.
What Happened: The father, known on social media as John &#8216;Rock &amp; Roll&#8217; Tolkien or @jrockandrollt, shared his family&#8217;s breakfast bill from the&nbsp;Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures at&nbsp;Disneyland Resort in California. 
The bill, which included a $150 tip, was for a family of five and totaled just under $1,000.

The post, featuring a snapshot of the bill, has garnered nearly 17 million views. The comment section is rife with reactions of shock and criticism, with many arguing that the father&nbsp;must have been aware of&nbsp;the high prices at the venue.

The breakfast took place at the Napa Rose Restaurant, located&nbsp;inside Disney&#8217;s Grand Californian Hotel&nbsp;&amp; Spa, a 4-star hotel situated within&nbsp;the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim,&nbsp;California.
Disneyland has been contacted by Newsweek for a response to the incident.
This incident has sparked a conversation about the high costs associated with visiting theme parks like Disneyland. Critics argue that these prices can make such experiences inaccessible for many families. 
The father&#8217;s post serves as a stark reminder of the financial implications that can come with a day out at such venues. 
It remains to be seen how Disneyland will respond to this controversy and whether it will lead to any changes in their pricing policies.

$1,000 Disneyland Breakfast Sparks Outrage: Dad Says He 'Almost Spit Out My Coffee'

In the wake of escalating global tensions and US-Iran conflict, the cryptocurrency market has taken a significant hit. 
What Happened: Cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has dipped below the $100,000 mark, while XRP and Dogecoin have plunged to their lowest in two months.
On Sunday morning, Bitcoin&#8217;s value fell below the $100,000 mark, while XRP and Dogecoin prices hit a two-month low.
This drop in cryptocurrency prices comes in the aftermath of the U.S.&#8217;s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Late on Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces had bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in an operation named &#8216;Midnight Hammer&#8217;.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin&#8217;s price was at $99,843, marking its lowest since early May. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), another major cryptocurrency, also took a significant hit, falling more than 10% to $2,171.

As per CoinGlass, liquidations across the crypto market have accelerated, with $949 million worth of positions liquidated in the last 24 hours. 
Ethereum led the way with about $369 million worth, followed by Bitcoin at $242 million.
The recent geopolitical unrest has triggered a wave of uncertainty in the global financial markets, including cryptocurrencies. 
Amid the chaos, users of prediction market Myriad have become increasingly bearish on Bitcoin&#8217;s price prospects, giving a nearly 65% chance that Bitcoin will plunge below $95,000 next.
The current scenario underscores the volatility of cryptocurrencies and their susceptibility to global events. It remains to be seen how the crypto market will respond in the coming days as the geopolitical situation evolves.

Global Tensions Trigger Cryptocurrency Crash: Bitcoin, XRP, And Dogecoin At 2-Month Lows

In a move that has drawn widespread criticism, President Donald Trump has appointed&nbsp;22-year-old Thomas Fugate to a&nbsp;critical terrorism-prevention role, amidst rising tensions with Iran.
What Happened: Fugate, who previously worked as a landscaper and grocery clerk, has been tasked with overseeing&nbsp;the Center for Prevention Programs&nbsp;and Partnerships (CP3)&nbsp;at the Department of Homeland&nbsp;Security (DHS). 
This appointment comes at a time when the U.S. is preparing for potential Iranian terrorist attacks following a&nbsp;U.S. military strike on three&nbsp;Iranian nuclear sites.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) voiced his criticism of the appointment on X, highlighting Fugate&#8217;s lack of experience in counter-terrorism. &#8220;22&nbsp;years old. Recent work experience:&nbsp;landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a&nbsp;day in counter-terrorism. But he's&nbsp;a BIG Trump fan. So&nbsp;he got the job,&#8221; Murphy stated.

Braniff&nbsp;resigned in protest of cuts&nbsp;to CP3. Critics are concerned about the decision to assign Fugate to such a crucial role, especially given the current geopolitical scenario.
Political observers are questioning the president's decision to entrust a 22-year-old with a critical role—especially as the position has taken on even greater importance recently.

Why It Matters: The appointment of a young individual with no counter-terrorism experience to a key role in terrorism prevention has raised eyebrows, particularly in the context of escalating tensions with Iran. 
The decision reflects a broader trend of political appointments based on loyalty rather than experience. This could potentially undermine the effectiveness of the DHS in preventing terrorist attacks and safeguarding national security. 
The move also raises questions about the administration&#8217;s prioritization of national security amidst geopolitical tensions.

Outrage Mounts Over Trump's Appointment of 22-Year-Old to Terrorism Unit Amid Iran Crisis

How much money does it take to retire comfortably? Using the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/dataviz/scf/chart/#series:Net_Worth;demographic:all;population:1;units:median">Federal Reserve's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances</a>, retirees' net worth has been split into six tiers, offering a sharp snapshot of financial health for those aged 65 and up. The Fed doesn't list these tiers outright, <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/scf23.pdf">but the data</a>—based on percentiles—is rich enough to draw a clear picture.
Net worth is calculated by adding up everything someone owns—homes, retirement accounts, investments—and subtracting debts like mortgages or credit cards. This survey is done every three years, and since the last update was in 2022, the insights here will remain the benchmark until new data arrives, most likely in late 2026.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom 25%: Under $50,000</h2>
About one in four retirees falls here, with net worth under $50,000. Many rely primarily on Social Security, including the average $1,900 monthly benefit. There is often little in savings, and emergency needs—like medical bills—can quickly drain limited resources.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lower Middle Tier: $50,000 to $410,000</h2>
Next up, retirees with net worth between $50,000 and the median $410,000. Homeowners in this group may be debt-free or carry manageable mortgages. With cautious planning, they often stretch Social Security and modest savings to make ends meet, though luxury remains out of reach.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upper Middle Tier: $410,000 to $1.52 Million</h2>
Between the median and the 80th percentile, retirees in this bracket likely hold paid-off homes and healthy investments. They have enough flexibility for travel, health surprises, and occasional extras without jeopardizing their budget.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Affluent Tier: $1.52 Million to $2.99 Million</h2>
Here, retirees enjoy real financial comfort. Investments are diversified and managed. Philanthropy, home upgrades, and travel are doable. They sleep better knowing unexpected costs are unlikely to derail their plans.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 10%: $2.99 Million to $13.7 Million</h2>
These retirees sit in the 90th to 99th percentile. Their wealth allows for complex financial strategies—multi-generational planning, private wealth advisors, long-term care budgets. They've often <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">built this through long-term investing</a> or real estate gains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 1%: Over $13.7 Million</h2>
At the pinnacle, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45895323/think-youre-rich-heres-the-income-and-net-worth-it-actually-takes-to-join-the-top-1-5-and-10">just 1% of retiree households</a> exceed $13.7 million in net worth. This group enjoys complete financial choice—most continue working by choice, not necessity—and can focus on legacy, impact, or passion projects.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Surprising Retirement Gap</h2>
Americans often underestimate the challenge. The <a href="https://news.northwesternmutual.com/2025-04-14-Americans-Believe-They-Will-Need-1-26-Million-to-Retire-Comfortably-According-to-Northwestern-Mutual-2025-Planning-Progress-Study">Northwestern Mutual 2025 Planning &amp; Progress Study</a> found the average person believes they need $1.26 million to retire well. Yet data shows <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/dataviz/scf/chart/#series:Net_Worth;demographic:agecl;population:all;units:median;range:1989,2022">most households age 65 to 74 </a>hold under $410,000.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So… How Much Do You Really Need?</h2>
That depends on more than just a number. Are you planning to renovate your home—or downsize? Do you see yourself spending retirement traveling the country, or helping raise grandkids? Will you pay off a mortgage, start a small business, or take on part-time work for fun and flexibility?
Your lifestyle matters just as much as your balance sheet. Two retirees with the same net worth might live very different lives depending on how they spend, where they live, and how much support they have. One might be sipping coffee in a paid-off condo while the other is juggling property taxes, adult children, and a second car payment.
The six wealth tiers can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">give a sense of where you stand</a>—but the real question is how you'll use what you have. The number alone won't define your retirement. What you do with it will.

There Are 6 Tiers Of Wealth For Retirees — Are In The Top 1% Or Just Upper Middle Class?

A minor investment bank, guided by&nbsp;Donald Trump Jr.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Eric Trump, has enabled a relatively unknown toymaker to make a profitable shift to cryptocurrency, causing its stock to skyrocket by more than 500%.
What Happened: Dominari Holdings Inc., where the Trump brothers are advisors, played a key role in two transactions within a month that resulted in a $120 million profit. 
Dominari initially helped an investment fund, overseen by its senior executive Soo Yu, to purchase a stake in the struggling toymaker&nbsp;SRM Entertainment Inc.
Last week, SRM revealed plans to rebrand as&nbsp;Tron Inc., with crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun joining as an advisor. This announcement caused SRM&#8217;s stock to jump from less than $2 to over $9, yielding significant profits for Dominari, Soo Yu, and the fund she manages, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-18/trump-linked-bank-helped-set-up-120-million-tron-deal-windfall?sref=TBDibEcD">reports </a>Bloomberg. 
The fund&#8217;s stake, acquired for $5 million in May, was valued at $127 million by Tuesday night.
While the Trump family holds advisory positions at Dominari, there is no proof of their participation in these transactions.

Nonetheless, this swift profit contributes to the financial wins of executives linked with the Trump family over the past year, especially in the cryptocurrency sector.
SRM&#8217;s metamorphosis includes a strategic shift towards buying virtual tokens associated with Sun&#8217;s crypto platform. This step signifies another expansion to the growing network of crypto-related ventures connected to Trump allies.
Although the ultimate recipients of the investment fund&#8217;s successful wager are yet to be determined, Dominari and Yu were given warrants for their involvement in the May deal, which rose in value from $230,000 to $3.8 million by Tuesday.
Why It Matters: The sudden windfall for SRM Entertainment Inc., now Tron Inc., highlights the growing influence of cryptocurrency in reshaping traditional industries. 
The involvement of high-profile figures such as the Trump brothers and Justin Sun further underscores the mainstream acceptance of digital currencies. 
This event also draws attention to the potential for significant financial gains in the crypto sector, even for struggling businesses.

Small Investment Bank Tied to Trump's Sons Facilitated $120 Million Trading Windfall

최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43420421/marco-rubios-panama-visit-will-trumps-aggressive-rhetoric-lead-to-war-or-diplomacy">도널드 트럼프</a> 대통령이 파나마 운하의 지위 변경 가능성에 대해 언급한 발언은 여러 주식과 상장지수펀드(ETF)에 미칠 수 있는 영향에 대한 우려를 불러일으켰다. 전 세계 무역의 약 4%가 이 운하를 통과하며, 그 중 70% 이상이 미국을 오가는 화물이라는 점은 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/china-panama-canal-development-what-it-means-7c5dc870">월스트리트 저널</a>에 보도된 바 있다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 일요일, 마코 루비오 국무장관이 파나마의 호세 라울 물리노 대통령에게 즉각적인 조치를 취하지 않으면 &#8220;필요한 조치를 취할 것&#8221;이라고 경고했다. 이는 트럼프가 중국의 파나마 운하에 대한 영향력과 통제를 문제삼은 것이다.
루비오와의 회담 후, 물리노는 중국 및 중국 기업과의 협정을 재검토하겠다고 신호를 보냈다. 트럼프 대통령은 취임 이후 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42639737/trumps-call-to-reclaim-panama-canal-sparks-backlash-every-square-meter-belongs-to-panama-says-president-mulino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">파나마 운하를 강제로 되찾겠다는 위협</a>를 반복적으로 밝혀왔으며, 이 운하는 파나마에 연간 약 25억 달러의 수익을 창출한다.
국제 해상무역의 주요 경로인 만큼, 운하 운영에 대한 변화는 해운, 물류, 운송에 관련된 기업들에 자연스럽게 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">어떤 회사들이 영향을 받을까?</h1>
먼저, 선박 및 해양 관련 자산의 소유 및 운영을 담당하는 SFL 코퍼레이션(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFL#NYSE">SFL</a>)과 같은 해운 회사들이 있다. 그리고 컨테이너선 소유 및 차터를 담당하는 코스타마레(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMRE#NYSE">CMRE</a>)와 국제 건화물 선박 소유 및 운영 회사인 나비오스 마리타임 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMPGY#NYSE">NMPGY</a>)도 영향을 받을 수 있다.
다음으로는 미국 전역에 화물 서비스를 제공하는 철도 회사들이다. 여기에는 CSX(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), 노퍽 서던 철도(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>), 유니언 퍼시픽 철도(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>), 캐나디안 퍼시픽 캔자스시티(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) 및 캐나디안 내셔널 철도(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNI#NYSE">CNI</a>)가 포함된다.
이제 해운, 항공 화물 및 택배 산업을 모두 포괄하는 ETF들을 살펴보겠습니다.
U.S. 글로벌 씨 투 스카이 카고(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>)와 브레이크웨이브 드라이 벌크 시핑(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDRY#NYSE">BDRY</a>)은 건화물 운임 선물 가격의 일일 변동에 노출되며, SPRD S&amp;P Transportation ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTN#NYSE">XTN</a>)는 광범위한 미국 주식 시장을 추적하도록 설계된 S&amp;P Total Market Index(&#8216;S&amp;P TMI&#8217;)의 운송 부문을 대표한다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">지난주 시장을 움직인 요인</h2>
1월 31일에 끝난 변동성이 특히 컸던 한 주 동안,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43404983/stocks-trim-deepseek-losses-fed-holds-steady-trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-this-week-in-the-markets" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 강력한 실적 발표가 시장의 구세주 역할을 했다</a>. 티 로우 프라이스(T. Rowe Price)의 트레이더에 따르면, S&amp;P 500 기업 중 약 40%가 수익을 보고했으며, 메타 플랫폼스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)와 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)의 강력한 실적이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43395813/apple-shares-are-on-the-rise-after-q1-earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">주식 반등에 기여했다.</a>
그럼에도 불구하고 S&amp;P 500 지수는 1% 하락한 채로 주를 마감했다. 나스닥 종합지수는 1월 27일 중국 개발업체 딥시크 등장 이후 기술주 매도세에 힘입어 급락했다. 
딥시크의 에너지 효율적인 오픈 소스 AI 모델은 경쟁에 대한 우려를 불러일으켜, 그날 엔비디아 주가가 거의 17% 급락했다. 지수는 1.6% 하락으로 마감했다. 다우존스 산업평균지수는 0.3%의 소폭 상승을 기록하며 3주 연속 상승세를 이어갔다. 
무역 정책도 시장에 영향을 미쳤다. 도널드 트럼프 전 미국 대통령이 2월 1일까지 멕시코와 캐나다에 25%의 관세를 부과하고 중국산 제품에 10%의 관세를 부과할 계획을 재확인했기 때문이다. 
통화정책 관련해서는 연준이 2025년 첫 정책 회의에서 견조한 경제 성장과 탄력적인 노동 시장을 이유로 금리를 4.25%~4.50% 범위로 동결했다.
지난 금요일, 미 상무부의 근원 PCE 인플레이션 보고서에 따르면 12월의 전년 대비 상승률은 2.8%로 3개월 연속 변동이 없었다. 이는 연준의 목표치 2%를 상회하는 수치다. 
한편, 미국 경제는 4분기에 2.3%, 2018년 한 해 동안 2.8% 성장하여, 예상보다 약간 낮았지만 연준의 장기 성장 전망치인 1.8%를 상회했다. 성장의 주된 원동력은 소비와 정부 지출이었다. 
또한 채권 가격 상승으로 국채 수익률이 하락했는데, 이는 부분적으로 딥시크의 파괴적 AI 혁신에 대한 우려 완화로 인한 것이었다.

항만 노동자들은 화요일에 화물 후크를 내려놓을 것으로 예상되며, 이로 인해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41086120/us-market-soars-after-fed-rate-cut-but-chartist-warns-of-potential-stock-plunge-citing-this-clas">미국의 가장 바쁜 항구들</a>의 활동이 중단될 가능성이 있다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 뉴욕 타임스에 <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/business/port-strike-dockworkers.html">따르면</a>, 동부 및 걸프 해안에서 고용주와의 노조 대결로 인해 수십억 달러 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41097541/amazon-apple-tesla-brace-for-supply-chain-disruptions-as-potential-east-coast-dockworkers-strike">상당의 화물을 중단</a>시킬 수 있으며, 이로 인해 휴가를 앞두고 쇼핑이 복잡해질 수 있다.
1977년 이후로 이렇게 큰 파업을 주도한 적이 없는 국제항만노동자협회(ILA)는 이번에는 레버리지를 가지고 있다. 팀스터스(Teamster)와 전미 자동차노조(UAW)와 같은 대규모 노조의 최근 노동 승리가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/10/35492334/gm-uaw-reach-tentative-agreement-potentially-putting-an-end-to-costly-6-week-strike">높은 기준을 설정했다</a>.
항만 노동자들은 이제 자신들의 몫을 요구하고 있다.
임금 인상 요구 외에도, 항만 노동자들은 작업 공간에 들어오는 노동 절감 기술에 대해서도 우려하고 있다.
파업이 경제에 하루에 수십억 달러의 비용을 초래할 수 있기 때문에, 조 바이든 대통령이 1947년 법을 사용하여 항만 노동자들을 다시 일하게 만들 수 있다.
하지만 지난해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34922731/biden-makes-historic-visit-to-auto-worker-picket-line-tells-union-to-you-deserve-raise">UAW 파업을 지지한</a> 바이든은 일요일에 항만 노동자 파업에 개입하지 않겠다고 <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?538805-1/president-biden-speaks-reporters-dover-air-force-base">말했다</a>.
고용주를 대표하는 미국해양협회(USMX)는 ILA와의 임금 및 복지 문제로 수개월 간 대치 중이다.
노조는 향후 6년간 시간당 5달러의 인상을 요구하고 있다. 이는 최고 시급을 69달러로 끌어올리는 것이며, 현재 39달러에서 큰 인상이다.
이를 2027년까지 시간당 60.85달러를 벌어들이게 될 서부 해안의 동료들과 비교해 보면 ILA가 왜 부족하다고 느끼는지 쉽게 알 수 있다.

왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): ILA의 47,000명 회원들은 미국 컨테이너 물동량의 3분의 2를 처리한다.
많은 기업들이 파업 가능성을 우려하여 화요일 이전에 화물을 항구를 통해 통과시키기 위해 분주하게 움직였다.
일부 화물은 여전히 바다에 억류되어 있어, 지연은 불가피하다. 보도에 따르면, 적체 문제는 파업이 짧더라도 몇 주 걸릴 수 있다.
MHW Ltd.를 포함한 여러 유통업체들은 파업이 추수감사절에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 우려하고 있다. MHW의 최고 운영 책임자 존 렌(John Wrenn)은 뉴욕 타임스에 판매가 "상품이 선반에 없어서 그냥 잃어버릴 것"이라고 말했다.
서부 해안 항구는 다른 노조가 운영하고 있어 영향을 받지 않는다.
상품을 서부 해안에서 동부 해안으로 트럭으로 운반하는 것은 비용이 너무 비싸다. 이는 해결책으로 작용하기 어렵다.
ILA는 크루즈 선박의 작업에는 방해가 되지 않을 것이라고 말했다.
