'A Battered Iran Signals It Wants to De-Escalate Hostilities With Israel and Negotiate' - WSJ Exclusive

Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who served in the first Trump administration, believes that President Donald Trump&#8217;s 90-day tariff pauses are not only a trade strategy but also a political tactic.
What Happened: In an interview with <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/16/90-day-pause-tariff-trump-habit-wilbur-ross-explainer/">Fortune</a>, Ross said that the pauses align with the U.S. political calendar, particularly the congressional timetable. Ross suggested that Trump may have implemented these pauses to avoid controversial decisions around the time of the mid-term elections.
&#8220;There&#8217;s&nbsp;nothing like a deadline to&nbsp;encourage people to negotiate seriously.&nbsp;I think it&#8217;s right that he did it,&#8221; said Ross.
President Trump has often implemented 90-day tariff pauses. The most recent instance involves China, with both nations agreeing to a 115% reduction in rates during ongoing negotiations.
Ross further explained that the 90-day pause aligns with the congressional timetable, especially as lawmakers shift focus to midterm elections around September. &#8220;It fits the congressional timetable," stated the former Commerce Secretary. The tactic, while initially effective, is becoming less powerful as it turns into an expectation rather than a last-minute reprieve, according to Ross. &nbsp;
Despite the limited staff and numerous tasks, significant progress has been made in trade negotiations, demonstrating the U.S.&#8217;s power to influence outcomes, Ross added.

Why It Matters: Prior to this, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had suggested that the Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45898040/scott-bessent-signals-willingness-to-extend-tariff-pause-for-good-faith-negotiations-trump-thinks-not-a-necessity">may consider </a>extending the current 90-day tariff pause beyond July 9 for the U.S.'s top trading partners, contingent on their &#8220;good faith&#8221; in ongoing trade negotiations, however, Trump doesn&#8217;t think it is a &#8216;necessity.&#8217;
A deal framework has been established with the U.K., and a truce has been declared with China, but detailed and comprehensive agreements have yet to be disclosed. However, experts have expressed doubts about the long-term viability of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45900295/this-is-another-band-aid-say-experts-questioning-long-term-viability-and-efficacy-of-us-china-trade-deal-china-always-had-this-trump-card">new trade deal</a> framework with China, warning that the U.S. may be giving up its strategic advantage in the agreement.
Notably, China also expressed disapproval of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45400750/china-slams-uk-us-trade-pact-finds-it-against-its-interests-this-type-of-poison-pill-clause-is-actually-worse-than-the-tariffs">trade agreement</a> between the U.K. and the U.S., adding more complexity to ongoing efforts to rebuild relations with Beijing.

'Reddit Unveils AI-Driven Ad Tools To Help Brands Tap Into User Discussions' - Reuters News

Harvard and Yale Universities are offloading significant portions of their private equity (PE) holdings, a move that, despite occurring at a discount, highlights a booming secondary market where buyers employ a technique known as &#8220;NAV squeezing&#8221; for potentially massive returns, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/15/harvard-yale-private-equity-holdings-sale-net-asset-value-discounts-nav-squeezing/">reported</a> Fortune.
What Happened: The secondary market for private equity stakes is experiencing a significant surge. Global secondary volume reached a record $162 billion last year, a 45% increase over 2023, as detailed in a <a href="https://www.jefferies.com/insights/boardroom-intelligence/secondaries-get-a-second-wind/">paper</a> by Jefferies.
Limited partners (LPs) sold their stakes at an average discount of 11% compared to their net asset value (NAV), according to Jefferies. This competitive pricing, coupled with an ample supply of quality portfolios, suggests a robust demand.
Despite these discounts, buyers are finding ways to generate substantial gains. Tim McGlinn, an investment veteran, explained to Fortune that buyers can &#8220;juice returns&#8221; through &#8220;NAV squeezing.&#8221;
This process allows secondary funds to mark up acquired investments to their old net asset value, potentially leading to &#8220;one-day windfalls of 1,000% or more,&#8221; which they report as real returns.
McGlinn described the technique as mind-bending, stating, &#8220;It makes your brain melt.&#8221; Jeffrey Hooke, a finance lecturer at Johns Hopkins, while stopping short of calling it a Ponzi scheme, agreed it appears &#8220;quite shaky,&#8221; though permissible under GAAP.
The sales of such stake by the endowment of these universities underscore a growing trend among elite institutions seeking greater liquidity and flexibility amidst economic turbulence.
Harvard recently agreed to sell approximately $1 billion of its PE stakes, while Yale is negotiating a nearly $3 billion sale at a discount of less than 10%.
These endowments are traditionally long-term investors in alternative assets like PEs, which are navigating a market where funds are taking longer to return capital as the borrowing costs are higher.

Why It Matters: For the universities selling the PE stakes, even at a discount to NAV, could still result in receiving more capital than they initially committed to those investments because of the massive demand in the secondar market.
Meanwhile, Yale emphasized in its own school's newspaper that private equity remains a core part of its investment strategy, with ongoing commitments to existing partners and pursuit of new opportunities.
Price Action: Bloomberg's weighted index of U.S. PE funds has delivered a 9.4% year-over-year gain from 2007 to 2024.
Meanwhile, the S&amp;P 500 index is currently showing an annualized year-over-year gain of 12.02%, according to YCharts. This means that, over the past year, the index has increased by 12.02% when considering the total return, including dividends.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose in premarket on Monday. The SPY was up 0.64% to $600.82, while the QQQ advanced 0.80% to $531.15, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pr</a>o data.
