Global financier and longtime Trump associate Gentry Beach is reportedly negotiating for control of the Rubaya coltan mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Trump administration-backed initiative, accompanied by support from a consortium including the Swiss trading house Mercuria, shows the current preference for the US engagement with Africa through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/rumors/25/05/45607960/dr-congo-to-finalize-minerals-deal-with-washington-in-june">high-stakes investment deals</a> rather than traditional diplomacy.
The US views these deals as a means to mitigate China's strategic dominance in Africa's mineral supply chains. "When the US stepped in, they wanted to frame their approach to a peace settlement differently than in the past," said one regional participant, quoted anonymously <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/91a66fc6-28e7-4320-a537-eeb8fac34f0d">by</a> the Financial Times. "They were looking at what the business and economic side of the deal would be that allows this region to prosper, so we don't get back into this all over."
The US-led negotiations aim to broker a peace deal between the DRC and neighboring Rwanda, whose backing of the M23 rebel group has fueled violence in eastern Congo. The talks include a proposed ceasefire and militia disarmament, with a draft agreement endorsed last week by the foreign ministers of both countries.
As reported by the Financial Times, the Rubaya mine is central to these efforts, potentially requiring over $500 million in investment, and is envisioned as a future legal export hub via a new smelter in Rwanda.
Beach, a former Morgan Stanley investment banker, a seasoned hedge fund manager, and a finance co-chair of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, is the distinctive name in the Rubaya deal. Notably, he has previous experience in the region, having participated in a 2004 mining venture with the late NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo. Although Beach is close friends with Donald Trump Jr., the Trump family has no direct involvement in the Rubaya project, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Rubaya is among the most lucrative coltan deposits in the world. Coltan (short for columbite-tantalite) yields tantalum and niobium, critical elements in smartphones, aircraft engines, and missile components. In 2023, the DRC supplied roughly 40% of global coltan, according to the US Geological Survey. The mine has been a focal point in eastern Congo's decades-long conflict and was recently seized by M23 rebels, who have taxed its production.
Beyond coltan, the region is also rich in copper, cobalt, and gold, all of which are important to global clean energy supply chains. Recent initiatives include those of Blackwater founder Erik Prince, who was connected to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44885311/blackwater-founder-reaches-a-security-deal-with-dr-congo">security deal</a> involving copper assets in the Katanga region.

Trump Ally Eyes $500 Million Deal in Peace Plan for DR Congo

Celebrity investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/46064693/is-ai-going-to-replace-ceos-or-just-make-them-10-times-richer-kevin-oleary-says-itll-make-everyone-richer-if-they-learn-how-to-use-it">Kevin O'Leary</a> says the window to buy TikTok with its current Chinese-owned algorithm has officially closed. As a new 90-day deadline ticks down, O'Leary is sounding the alarm: TikTok's future in the U.S. hangs in the balance, and at the heart of it is a much bigger issue — who truly owns your personal data?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why the Sale Keeps Getting Delayed</h2>
TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, is under pressure from a U.S. law enacted last year that requires it to sell its TikTok assets in the U.S. or face a nationwide ban. The law was upheld by the Supreme Court, but enforcement has been repeatedly delayed. Most recently, President Donald Trump granted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45988862/trump-extends-tiktok-divestment-deadline-again-says-xi-will-ultimately-approve-the-deal-amid-stalled-us-spinoff-talks">90-day extension</a> until September, marking the third postponement.

</ul>
While TikTok has continued to operate, critics say these delays are avoiding a key national security concern: the possibility that the Chinese government could access American user data. Beijing denies this, but many U.S. lawmakers remain skeptical.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">O'Leary: "The Deal Is Dead"</h2>
According to O'Leary, a new sale involving TikTok's existing algorithm is no longer on the table. "We know that we can&#8217;t buy the algorithm," he said in a video he <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1936233691967054333">posted to X</a>. "So we're gonna have to rewrite this whole thing."
O'Leary is part of a group led by billionaire Frank McCourt and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian proposing a new version of TikTok — one without Chinese-owned code. Their goal? Create a U.S.-based platform that puts data ownership in the hands of users, not corporations.
The alternative, O'Leary warns, is a legal minefield. "Every mothers' group and state attorney general is suing social media," he said. "All stemming from the fact that the platform owns the data and the customer doesn&#8217;t."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"Chinese Honey" and the Battle Over AI Chips</h2>
O'Leary also tied the TikTok debate to the broader issue of U.S. technology exports, especially AI chips made by companies like Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
He used a bee analogy to explain: The chip is the queen bee, and software developers are the honeybees building AI — or "honey" — on that chip. O'Leary argued there will soon be only two types of AI: "American honey" and "Chinese honey."
"If you want the world running on Chinese honey, stop shipping American queen bee chips," he said. His point: limiting chip exports could backfire by encouraging foreign adversaries to build their own alternatives — like TikTok.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Legal Deadline With Real Consequences</h2>
Unless Congress acts or a new buyer is found, TikTok could be pulled from U.S. app stores after the September deadline. O'Leary believes this is likely the "last extension."
As lawmakers debate national security, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45922827/the-dollar-is-crumbling-and-hedge-fund-analyst-says-a-new-global-trade-is-brewing">global trade</a>, and personal privacy, the clock keeps ticking.
One thing is clear: TikTok's fate is tied not just to politics, but to a fundamental question about the future of the internet — who controls the data, and who gets to decide?

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending June 27:
Prologis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLD#NYSE">PLD</a>): The logistics real estate company saw increased interest from readers during the week. The company was recently named to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/46144750/44-public-companies-make-times-most-influential-list-coinbase-ufc-nintendo-netflix-and-more-stocks-investors-can-buy">TIME 100 Most Influential Companies list</a> in the "Leaders" category. Investors may be gearing up for second quarter financial results, which are set for July 16. The company has beaten funds from operation estimates from analysts in four straight quarters, while revenue has missed analyst estimates in six straight quarters. Prologis could be fitting several themes for investors with a dividend payment and operating in the growing logistics REIT market. The stock was nearly flat on the week, as seen on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0627">Benzinga Pro chart </a>below and shares are up only 1.3% year-to-date in 2025.

The company saw 30% year-over-year sales growth and gross merchandise value also rose 34% year-over-year in the quarter. Global-E Online also reported growth in its Adjusted EBITDA with the operating loss narrowing. The company reiterated its full year guidance after the quarter. Along with financial results, Global-E Online also announced a new three-year strategic partnership with Shopify, extending an existing long-term partnership for first-party and third-party solutions.
"We had another quarter of strong results,&nbsp;demonstrating our ability to grow fast even within macroeconomic turbulent times with Q1 results coming in at or above the midpoints across our guidance," founder and CEO&nbsp;Amir Schlachet&nbsp;said. &nbsp;
Schlachet said the company's pipeline is very active and the company is seeing increased interest in its services.

Agilent Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/A#NYSE">A</a>): The life sciences and diagnostics company saw increased interest from investors during the week, which comes after the company reported quarterly financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45669099/agilent-braces-for-potential-us-eu-tariff-hike-maintains-annual-outlook">last month</a>. Agilent reported 6% year-over-year sales growth, which beat analyst estimates. The company beat revenue estimates from analysts for a fourth straight quarter and ninth time out of the last 10 quarters. The company's earnings per share also beat analyst estimates, which kept a streak of more than 10 straight quarters beating estimates in place. Agilent reaffirmed earnings per share guidance for the full year and raised its full-year sales guidance, saying that it will be able to mitigate most of the impacts of tariffs.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0627"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="995" height="499" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27172902/Screenshot-473.png" alt="" class="wp-image-965473" style="width:920px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27172902/Screenshot-473.png 995w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27172902/Screenshot-473-300x150.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27172902/Screenshot-473-768x385.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px" /></a></figure>
Alcoa Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>): Investors showed increased interest in the metals company ahead of its July 16 second-quarter financial results. Analyss expect the company to report earnings per share of 57 cents and revenue of $2.96 billion. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in four straight quarters and seven of the last 10 quarters overall. Revenue has been more mixed with a miss in the last quarter and five beats and five misses over the last 10 quarters. Investors are likely looking to hear more on the impact of tariffs for the company. Alcoa reported $20 million in additional costs in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44853254/alcoa-shares-gain-after-mixed-q1-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss">the first quarter</a> due to the impact of tariffs on Canadian aluminum imports. The forecast for the second quarter impact from tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44858454/alcoa-warns-tariffs-could-cost-425-million-annually-this-is-the-most-material-impact-says-ceo">was $90 million.</a>
&#8220;This is the most material impact to Alcoa, as approximately 70% of our aluminum produced in Canada is destined for U.S. customers,&#8221; Alcoa CEO William Oplinger said.
He estimated the annual cost of the 25% tariff could reach as high as $425 million.
Investors will likely want to hear that these numbers have not gone up and that higher metals prices and demand could help offset some of the increased costs.

Comfort Systems USA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIX#NYSE">FIX</a>): The HVAC and electrical company saw increased interest from investors with shares at all-time highs. While most investors may not be familiar with the company, Comfort Systems has shown consistent growth and has a history of beating analyst estimates. Second quarter financial results are expected in June. Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $4.78, up from $3.74 in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in more than 10 straight quarters. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly revenue of $1.97 billion, up from $1.54 billion in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates in two straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall. Analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FIX/analyst-ratings">raised price targets</a> on the stock in recent months and the new quarterly results could see more analyst action.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) is the top performer in the S&amp;P 500 for June, surging 43% and reaching its highest level since<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46131195/cathie-woods-thursday-crypto-moves-ark-unloads-nearly-25-million-in-coinbase-block-stocks"> its 2021 IPO. </a>
The rally follows the stock's inclusion in the index at the end of May and is supported by positive regulatory updates and new product launches. Coinbase's momentum began in April and marks its third consecutive monthly gain.

What To Know: Analysts credit Coinbase's strength to its S&amp;P 500 inclusion, the Senate's passage of the GENIUS Act and the strong performance of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NASDAQ">CRCL</a>), according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/coinbase-is-best-performing-stock-in-sp-500-in-june-and-may-move-higher.html">CNBC</a>.&nbsp;
Coinbase benefits from a revenue-sharing agreement with Circle, allowing it to capture all revenue from USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) held on its platform and nearly half of other USDC revenues—without incurring Circle's operating costs.
Coinbase has expanded its crypto services, launching a crypto-backed credit card with American Express, partnering with Shopify for stablecoin payments and collaborating with JPMorgan on a deposit token using its Base blockchain.&nbsp;
What Else: Coinbase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46123211/whats-going-on-with-coinbase-global-stock-thursday">shares surged further</a> on Thursday after the company announced the upcoming launch of US-regulated perpetual-style futures for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ether, (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)&nbsp; set to begin July 21.&nbsp;
This marks a major milestone, as such products have been largely unavailable to US traders, who have typically relied on offshore exchanges.&nbsp;
Coinbase's move aims to capture a significant share of this market by providing a domestic, regulated alternative.&nbsp;
The announcement coincided with Bernstein raising its price target on Coinbase stock from $310 to $510, citing rapid growth in derivatives and strong non-trading revenues from staking and the Base blockchain.&nbsp;

Coinbase Stock Is S&P 500's Best Performer For June: How It Got There

Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates has suggested that playing sports could be a major factor in the success of women in the C-suite.
What Happened: At the Power of Women&#8217;s Sports Summit, French Gates highlighted the correlation between women in leadership positions and their participation in sports. She noted that women who played sports, especially those who didn&#8217;t mind failing, were more likely to end up in the C-suite, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/27/billionaire-philanthropist-melinda-french-gates-no1-skill-that-gen-alpha-girls-high-school-ceo-career-advice/">reported</a> Fortune.
&#8220;The only correlation they can find of women in the C suite, the CEO spot, it that they all played sport—or the majority played sport,&#8221; French Gates said.
She added, &#8220;And the thesis is (we don't know why that is) they didn't mind failing. You step out of bounds playing soccer, you go right back to it. You lose the tennis match sometimes. You learn to fail and that failing is okay.&#8221;
She added that playing sports helps in developing qualities such as resilience and self-confidence, which are crucial for success in the boardroom. This view was supported by tennis legend&nbsp;Billie Jean King&nbsp;and research from EY, which revealed that 94%&nbsp;of women in the C-suite are former athletes.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132007/amazon-google-not-far-behind-but-dan-ives-says-microsoft-clearly-leading-in-these-segments-600-price" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon, Google Not Far Behind, But Dan Ives Says Microsoft &#8216;Clearly Leading&#8217; In These Segments — $600 Price Target Is &#8216;Probably&#8217; Conservative</a>
Why It Matters: CEOs often credit their sports backgrounds for developing key leadership skills like confidence, teamwork, and discipline. A McKinsey report supports this view, highlighting overlaps between executive and athletic traits such as time management, resilience, and a growth mindset.
The insights shared by Gates and King come at a time when the corporate world is witnessing a shift in attitudes and work culture, especially with the upcoming Gen Z workforce. Gen Z, which is set to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46129668/gen-zs-gig-economy-mindset-prioritizing-flexibility-skill-development-and-work-life-balance-in-corporate-america"> make up</a> 30% of the workforce by 2030, prioritizes work-life balance, flexibility, and skill development.
Moreover, top banker Jamie Dimon&#8217;s call for an overhaul of the U.S. education system and underlines the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/education/25/06/46007465/jamie-dimon-sounds-alarm-on-skills-gap-calls-for-overhaul-of-us-education-system">need for schools</a> to adapt to the demands of a rapidly changing workforce. The emphasis on sports as a platform for developing crucial life skills could potentially align with these evolving educational and corporate trends.

Melinda French Gates Reveals The No. 1 Skill Women Need To Reach The C-Suite: 'You Learn To Fail And That Failing Is...'

Following a series of sobering near-miss incidents in U.S. airports, most recently when a Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) plane came close to departing from a taxiway in Orlando, air carriers are focusing now on what could be the most priceless upgrade since in-flight Wi-Fi: cockpit alerts that scream at pilots before they undertake something disastrous.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/46151058/jpmorgans-new-etf-smashes-records-with-2-billion-kick-off">JPMorgan&#8217;s New ETF Smashes Records With $2 Billion Kick Off</a>
At the forefront of this air safety upgrade is Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>), which has created a Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) that&#8217;s now in use across almost all of Southwest&#8217;s 800-strong Boeing 737 fleet, according to WSJ. And although this upgrade is, first and foremost, about ensuring passengers and crew are safe, it also represents a possible investment opportunity few are discussing: a boost in demand for avionics and safety technology, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs that contain them</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wake-Up Call In The Cockpit</h2>
Honeywell&#8217;s system provides real-time voice and text alerts when pilots make hazardous maneuvers, such as turning onto an incorrect runway, landing too rapidly, or trying to take off from a taxiway. 
It&#8217;s not only Southwest becoming serious about safety. Other airlines such as Alaska Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) are bringing the system on board as well, with Airbus and Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) allegedly working on their own in-house alert systems. With the FAA considering new proposals to mandate safety alerts on new planes, and potentially retrofits in the future, this might be only the start.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The ETF Angle: Follow The Beep</h2>
A number of large ETFs already provide exposure to aviation safety vendors such as Honeywell, and if the industry experiences an upgrade supercycle, these funds could be winners:
iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>): Top holding is Honeywell, followed by Boeing and Raytheon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>). Traces defense and aerospace production companies, including safety systems and avionics.
Up 29% YTD, ITA may experience additional tailwinds if cockpit safety standards become an international standard.
SPDR S&amp;P Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XAR#NYSE">XAR</a>): Equal-weighted, providing more widespread exposure to mid-cap stocks that might include specialty avionics providers.
Comprises participants on next-gen safety software, hardware, and even autonomous flight system development.
Global X Future Analytics Tech ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>): Not aerospace-focused, but exposed to companies embedding AI in safety and risk-reduction systems. 
As cockpit notifications become more sophisticated with AI-based pattern recognition, funds such as AIQ might soon be cleared for takeoff.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Now?</h2>
Let&#8217;s link the dots:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Increasing pilot shortages translate into more dependence on safety technology.</li>
<li>Busy airports and tighter flight schedules raise the margin for error.</li>
<li>High-profile accidents (such as the Air Canada near-miss at San Francisco or the 2006 Comair crash) are spurring regulators and carriers into action.</li>
<li>Public perception: Airlines are keen to demonstrate that they&#8217;re spending money on safety amid growing concern.</li>
</ul>
In short, the cockpit alert boom is not merely a safety tale, it&#8217;s a story about tech adoption, and in the markets, that&#8217;s where the actual jet fuel resides.
For the moment, cockpit warnings might be barking alarms within aircraft, but shareholders might find themselves tuning in as well. Aviation safety technology is taking to the skies quietly, and the ETFs that have exposure to it could be up next for a smooth ride.

Runway Ready: Can Aviation Safety Tech Be The Next Frontier For Aerospace ETFs?

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street surged this week as easing geopolitics and a potential pause in U.S.-China tariffs lifted sentiment. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs, boosted significantly by Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), whose stock jumped by about 10% to record its highest valuation — $3.8 trillion — overtaking Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) as the world's most valuable company
The tech rally reflected strong earnings from Nvidia's AI-centric chip business and supplier Micron (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), while broader market gains were bolstered by renewed risk appetite in equities.
Next week, investors will track the June jobs report, rhetoric on tariffs — including the July 8 "Liberation Day" deadline — and upcoming July 4 tax‑and‑spending legislative actions that could influence rates and yields.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Micron, HIMS — And Markets Soar On Mideast And Tariff Relief

Warren Buffett has donated a staggering $6 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) shares to the Gates Foundation and four family charities. This is Buffett&#8217;s largest annual donation since he began his philanthropic journey almost two decades ago.
What Happened: According <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/warren-buffett-donates-record-6-billion-berkshire-shares-2025-06-28/">to</a> a Reuters report, the 94-year-old business magnate donated approximately 12.36 million Berkshire Class B shares to the Gates Foundation and the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, as well as three charities led by his children.
This latest contribution brings Buffett&#8217;s total charitable giving to well over $60 billion. The Oracle of Omaha still retains 13.8% of Berkshire&#8217;s stock, making him the world&#8217;s fifth-richest person with a net worth of $152 billion, as per Forbes.

Buffett, who has been giving away his fortune since 2006, has no plans to sell any of his Berkshire shares. Last year, he amended his will, designating 99.5% of his remaining fortune to a charitable trust to be managed by his children after his death. The trust will have around a decade to distribute the funds and must reach unanimous decisions on their allocation.
Why It Matters: Despite his philanthropic efforts, Buffett&#8217;s wealth has continued to surge. In March, he was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44479393/warren-buffett-top-wealth-gainer-elon-musk-top-wealth-loser-in-2025-heres-how-much-billionaires-have-added-lost">recognized as the top wealth gainer</a> among the world&#8217;s richest people, due to Berkshire Hathaway stock&#8217;s strong performance. 
Despite his immense <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44779863/warren-buffetts-son-sold-his-berkshire-stock-inheritance-to-buy-something-infinitely-more-valuable-than-the-500-million-it-would-be-worth-today">wealth</a>, the latest donation testifies to Buffett's commitment to his philanthropic endeavors.

Warren Buffett Donates $6 Billion In Berkshire Stock To Gates Foundation And Other Charities, His Biggest Gift In 20+ Years: Here's How Much He's Given Away So Far

This week, on multiple occasions, Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46131597/bill-gates-says-he-knows-for-a-fact-that-more-children-will-die-due-to-us-health-aid-cuts-and-hes-taking-the-proof-to-congress">expressed concern</a> over the future of global health, warning that recent cuts to funding for Gavi could undo decades of progress in saving children&#8217;s lives through vaccinations.
What Happened: In a post titled "A perilous time for the world's poorest children," <a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/home/home-page-topic/reader/a-perilous-time-for-the-worlds-poorest-children">on</a> Gates Notes, Gates decried the Donald Trump government&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44498936/moderna-novavax-shares-are-sliding-wednesday-whats-going-on">decision to pull funding</a> from Gavi, the vaccine alliance that has helped vaccinate over a billion children.
He warned that the cuts could lead to a reversal in progress, with more children dying from preventable diseases. Gates noted that 2025 could be the first year since the 1990s when child mortality rates increase, instead of continuing to decline.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087132/elizabeth-warren-says-the-tax-break-for-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-is-so-bountiful-under-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-that-35-copay-from-each-american-wont-still" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elizabeth Warren Says The Tax Break For Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s Meta Is So Bountiful Under Trump&#8217;s ‘Big Beautiful Bill&#8217; That $35 Copay From Each American Won&#8217;t Still Match It</a>
He stated, &#8220;All the progress we've made is at risk,&#8221; referencing the vital role Gavi plays in providing affordable vaccines to low-income countries.
Gates also highlighted how the funding cuts could undermine efforts to eradicate diseases like polio and malaria, emphasizing that &#8220;the life could have been saved by a vaccine that costs just 30 cents.&#8221;
Why It&#8217;s Important: On Tuesday, the Gates Foundation announced a pledge of $1.6 billion over the next five years to Gavi.
Earlier this month, Gates, who chairs the Gates Foundation, committed to channeling the majority of its planned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/esg/25/06/45739698/bill-gates-commits-majority-of-200-billion-foundation-budget-to-africa-over-next-20-years-amid-trumps-massive-usaid-cuts">$200 billion investment</a> over the next two decades into Africa.
The Trump administration had earlier signaled its intention to reduce its annual contribution of approximately $300 million to Gavi.
The Microsoft co-founder has previously also aimed at Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Trump for supporting sudden cuts to USAID funding, cautioning that these cuts could halt the supply of essential food and medicine, potentially causing a resurgence of diseases such as measles, HIV, and polio — with the world's most vulnerable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45286464/bill-gates-commits-99-of-his-remaining-fortune-to-gates-foundation-set-to-wind-down-in-20-years-somebody-should-give-more-money-than-i-did">children bearing the brunt</a>.

Bill Gates Warns Of 'Perilous' Times After Trump Administration Pulls Funding From Gavi, A Group That Has Paid For Over A Billion Children's Vaccinations: 'All The Progress We've Made Is At Risk'

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Siri is far behind OpenAI's ChatGPT, according to a comparison conducted by Deepwater Asset Management, receiving an "F" while ChatGPT has scored an "A."
What Happened: On Friday, Deepwater Asset Management's managing partner, Gene Munster, shared the results of the test <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44429160/apple-stock-down-over-12-this-year-now-tim-cook-is-reportedly-betting-on-vision-pros-mike-rockwell-to-fix-siri-after-losing-confidence-in-ai-boss-john-giannandrea">comparing Siri</a> and ChatGPT.
The comparison involved 50 real-world questions, assessing each AI assistant's ability to understand, respond, and handle follow-up questions. Siri received an "F," while ChatGPT through Siri earned a "B," and ChatGPT alone scored the highest with an "A."
The test showed that Siri is still more of a voice-activated search tool than a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45851232/apples-lack-of-new-ai-features-at-wwdc-is-startling-expert-says">true AI assistant</a>. Despite its integration with iOS, Siri struggles with reasoning, follow-up questions, and delivering concise, helpful answers.

It also took 5 to 10 seconds for Siri to hand off requests to ChatGPT, causing delays that are not ideal for today's fast-paced environment.
In contrast, ChatGPT provides more accurate, fluid, and human-like responses, mimicking natural conversation with ease. The test emphasized that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45486193/why-is-apple-still-behind-on-ai-expert-dissects-reasons-behind-iphone-maker-lagging-likes-of-microsoft-and-amazon-despite-poaching-googles-ai-chief">Apple's Siri has been stuck in the past</a>, and for it to stay competitive, a major overhaul is required.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Apple's upgraded Siri, first unveiled at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39245542/dont-miss-apples-wwdc-2024-keynote-how-and-where-to-watch-on-june-10">WWDC 2024</a> and originally slated for spring 2025, will now launch a year later in spring 2026.
Earlier this week, BofA analyst Wamsi Mohan kept a &#8216;Buy&#8217; rating on the Apple stock with a $235 price target, citing reports that Apple may <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041473/apple-eyes-perplexity-ai-acquisition-while-facing-shareholder-lawsuit-over-exaggerated-ai-progress-report">acquire, or partner with</a> Perplexity AI to strengthen its AI search capabilities, enhance Siri, reduce reliance on Alphbaet Inc.'s (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>) Google and expand into the search advertising market.
On the other hand, Chamath Palihapitiya has criticized Apple on the All-In podcast, saying that the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068152/whats-next-for-apple-chamath-palihapitiya-fires-back-dont-think-they-have-any-chance-of-anything-dismisses-glasses-and-ai-hopes">dependence on iPhone sales</a> and incremental updates shows it has little chance of delivering major innovations, while noting its culture may stifle bold ideas.
However, others on the panel argued Apple's shift to recurring revenue has been successful, even if moving into AI could prove to be more challenging.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Apple is showing a persistent decline over the short, medium, and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance insights can be found here</a>.

Siri Gets 'F' While OpenAI's ChatGPT Scores An 'A:' Gene Munster Says Here's What Apple Needs To Fix Before 2026 Launch To Stay Relevant In AI

Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the famous investor from &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; has shared a smart method to break the addictive cycle of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45737262/kevin-oleary-loves-credit-card-companies-because-americans-cant-stop-paying-crazy-23-interest-mr-won">credit card spending</a>, urging people to look closely at the long-term financial cost of their impulsive purchases.
What Happened: In his book, "Cold Hard Truth on Men, Women and Money," which was originally published in 2012, O&#8217;Leary spoke about how many people are trapped in a &#8220;credit card trance,&#8221; spending money they don't have, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/shark-tanks-kevin-oleary-has-big-money-warning-for-all-americans">reported</a> The Street.
According to O&#8217;Leary, when people buy items on credit, they often fail to consider the true cost of those purchases, particularly the interest paid over time.
He encouraged readers to ask themselves before each purchase: &#8220;Will the interest I pay on this item outlive my interest in this item?&#8221; If the answer is yes, O&#8217;Leary advised against making the purchase.

The investor also warned that using credit cards for emotional relief, or &#8220;retail therapy,&#8221; is a dangerous habit. "I love money because, employed properly, it's a source of creative energy," he wrote in his book. "Stuff, on the other hand, merely uses up energy by killing money."
Why It&#8217;s Important: O'Leary has often described consumer debt as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43424608/21-interest-rates-youve-got-to-be-kidding-me-kevin-oleary-slams-credit-card-debt-as-the-real-silent-killer-in-america">the silent killer</a>." Back in February, he told Graham Stephan on his podcast that he avoids debt entirely, paying for everything with cash.
He's not alone in warning about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39092288/if-you-use-your-credit-card-you-do-not-want-to-be-rich-warns-mark-cuban-on-the-dave-ramsey-show">dangers of credit cards</a>. Mark Cuban, another billionaire from Shark Tank, earlier told Dave Ramsey on The Ramsey Show that using credit cards is a barrier to building wealth. &#8220;If you use your credit cards, you do not want to be rich.&#8221;
Earlier this year, in March, Synchrony Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYF#NYSE">SYF</a>), the biggest private-label credit card issuer in the U.S., said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44482518/major-credit-card-provider-warns-us-consumers-are-spending-less">persistent inflation is pushing consumers</a> to cut back on spending.

Kevin O'Leary Has A Trick To Break The Credit Card Trance: Here's What He Wants You To Look Closely At

Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) failed to dismiss a lawsuit over a fatal car crash involving its Model S. The judge&#8217;s decision paves the way for a potential trial.
What Happened: A federal judge in Miami, Beth Bloom, ruled that the estate of Naibel Benavides Leon and her former boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, can proceed with their claims against Tesla for design defects and failure to warn, according to a report by Reuters on Friday.
The lawsuit is related to an April 2019 incident where a Tesla Model S, equipped with Autopilot, crashed into the victims&#8217; parked Chevrolet Tahoe in Key Largo, Florida.

The judge&#8217;s decision also allows the plaintiffs to seek punitive damages. The trial is scheduled for July 14.
Why It Matters: Tesla, based in Austin, Texas, has long been under scrutiny for the safety of its self-driving technology. The company has repeatedly emphasized that its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25681053/tesla-sued-over-alleged-suspension-failure-in-fatal-florida-crash-that-killed-2-last-year">autopilot features</a> are meant for &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44458804/elon-musk-10-years-ago-called-autonomous-driving-a-solved-problem-said-we-will-be-there-in-a-few-years">fully attentive</a>&#8221; drivers and do not make its vehicles autonomous.
Earlier this month, Tesla faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041090/tesla-faces-safety-questions-from-regulators-ahead-of-robotaxi-launch-in-austin">safety questions from regulators</a> as it prepared to launch its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. The regulators were particularly concerned about the performance of Tesla&#8217;s self-driving technology in challenging weather conditions.
In a separate incident, a wrongful death lawsuit was filed against Tesla in New Jersey over a 2024 crash involving a Model S that claimed three lives. The lawsuit alleges that the crash was due to the car&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068107/elon-musks-tesla-faces-wrongful-death-lawsuit-over-model-s-crash-which-claimed-3-lives-plaintiffs-call-cars-design-defective-and-unreasonably-dangerous">defective and unreasonably dangerous design</a>.&#8221;
Price in Action: Tesla closed at $323.63, down 0.66% for the day. A slight dip of 0.28% was seen in after-hours trading, amounting to $322.71, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk's Tesla Loses Bid To Dismiss Fatal Crash Lawsuit, Trial Set for July

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087635/bernie-sanders-slams-jeff-bezos-lavish-wedding-plans-demands-end-to-oligarchy-amazon-founder-pays-1-1-tax-takes-500-million-yacht-to-venice-while-kids-go-hungry">tied the kno</a>t on Friday in a luxurious wedding that cost an estimated $50 million.
The three-day celebration took place in Venice, drawing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46136092/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-wedding-draws-star-studded-guest-list-to-venice-here-are-the-celebs-who-showed-up-so-far">numerous A-list celebrities</a> and spotlighting extravagant details like foam parties, custom-designed goodie bags and high-end fashion.
Foam Party On Bezos' $500 Million Yacht
The festivities began with an unconventional foam party on Bezos' $500 million super yacht. The yacht was anchored near Croatia's Unije Island, where the couple celebrated Sánchez's son Evan Whitesell's 19th birthday, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/27/jeff-in-venice-seven-takeaways-from-the-bezos-sanchez-wedding">reported</a> The Guardian.

A Charitable Wedding Invitation
For a couple with a fortune worth billions, Bezos and Sánchez asked guests for something a little unusual: no gifts. Instead, they encouraged guests to make donations on their behalf to charitable causes, including Venice International University and lagoon restoration efforts, the report said.
Exclusive Goodie Bags For Guests
Each guest was given a specially curated goodie bag, which included sweet treats from a renowned Venetian pastry shop, Rosa Salva and colorful Murano glassware from Laguna~B.
Thunderstorms And Public Protests
The celebrations weren't without their hiccups. On Thursday night, a freak thunderstorm disrupted one of the welcoming events at the Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, soaking guests and cutting the event short.
Additionally, public <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/46062022/protests-rock-jeff-bezos-gondola-want-to-rent-venice-for-a-wedding-pay-more-tax">protests against the couple's lavish wedding</a> took place, with activists voicing opposition to the extravagant celebration, the report added.
Fashion Choices And Iconic Looks
Sánchez was seen arriving at the ceremony dressed in what appeared to be an Audrey Hepburn-inspired look, with a headscarf and sunglasses.
As per the report, speculations were that she would wear a Dolce &amp; Gabbana dress, as she has been a long-time fan of the Italian brand.
Art And Culture For The Elite
For some of the guests, including Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Bill Gates, the celebration also included a cultural experience. Gates, with an art collection valued at $127 million, visited the Gallerie dell&#8217;Accademia, home to works like Titian's Pietà, during some downtime before the ceremony, the report said.

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez Get Married In A $50 Million Wedding In Venice: From Foam Party On His $500 Million Yatch To Goodie Bags, Here's What We Know

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO&nbsp;Jim Farley voiced skepticism about&nbsp;Tesla Inc.'s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) autonomous driving strategy, underscoring the necessity of consumer trust and prudence.
What Happened: During the Aspen Ideas Festival, Farley emphasized the potential of laser sensor systems, such as those employed by Alphabet Inc.'s (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>)&nbsp;Waymo, according <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/27/ford-ceo-jim-farley-waymo-self-driving-lidar-more-sense-than-tesla-aspen-ideas/">to</a>&nbsp;Fortune.
In a conversation with Walter Isaacson, Farley compared the systems of Waymo and Tesla, expressing a preference for Waymo&#8217;s approach.
"When you have a brand like Ford, when there's a new technology, you have to be really careful," he said.
Farley highlighted the critical role of LiDAR, a technology used by companies like Waymo in self-driving vehicles. Farley stated, "We&nbsp;really believe that LiDAR is&nbsp;mission critical."
He acknowledged the advancements of both companies but emphasized Ford&#8217;s belief in the importance of LiDAR, noting its capability to detect obstacles that cameras might overlook.
"We decided, as a company, that a cooler problem than full autonomy in an urban setting was high speed, eyes off. Push a button and read a book in your car," Farley said.
Tesla, which employs a camera-only strategy for autonomous driving, recently introduced a robotaxi service in Austin.
This approach has faced scrutiny within the industry, although&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;argues it is cost-effective. Meanwhile, Ford plans to collaborate with self-driving software firms as technology progresses, focusing on its &#8220;BlueCruise&#8221; Level 2 system.

Why It Matters: Ford&#8217;s decision to prioritize LiDAR technology over Tesla&#8217;s camera-only approach highlights a significant divergence in strategies within the autonomous vehicle industry. Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45966726/tesla-vehicle-production-cost-1-7-that-of-waymo-elon-musks-ev-giant-closer-to-full-autonomy-than-competition-report">production costs</a> for vehicles are reportedly just &#8220;1/7&#8221; of Waymo&#8217;s, and this cost efficiency allows Tesla to deploy more vehicles on the road, potentially accelerating its path to full autonomy.
Furthermore, Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi service, which recently launched in Austin, is considered to have a major advantage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46133153/tesla-robotaxi-has-a-major-advantage-over-rivals-waymo-and-zoox-says-gary-black-could-be-very-significant">over competitors</a> like Waymo and Zoox. Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC highlighted that every Tesla robotaxi is factory-ready, giving it a significant edge in the market.
Despite the differing approaches, Tesla&#8217;s safety record is noteworthy. Social Capital CEO Chamath Palihapitiya <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45966113/tesla-crashes-significantly-lower-than-national-average-chamath-palihapitiya-weighs-in-on-why-its-the-ideal-choice-for-teenage-drivers">pointed out</a> that Tesla&#8217;s crash rates are significantly lower than the national average, making it an ideal choice for teenage drivers.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Believes Waymo's Approach Makes More Sense Than Elon Musk-led Tesla's: 'When You Have A Brand Like Ford... You Have To Be Really Careful'

The U.S. Senate has rejected a Democratic-led proposal to limit President Donald Trump&#8216;s authority to use military force against Iran.
What Happened: The Senate, led by Republicans, voted 53-47 against a resolution that would have required Congressional approval for any further military actions against Iran, according to a Reuters report.
The vote, which took place on Friday, was largely divided along party lines, with only one Democrat, Pennsylvania&#8217;s Sen John Fetterman (D-Pa.), voting against the resolution. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted in favor of the resolution, aligning with the Democrats.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), the resolution&#8217;s chief sponsor, has been advocating for years to restore Congress&#8217;s authority to declare war, which has been assumed by both Republican and Democratic presidents. Emphasizing on power granted by the Constitution to Congress, not the president, the sole authority to declare war, 
Kaine in his speech said, &#8220;If you think the president should have to come to Congress, whether you are for or against a war in Iran, you&#8217;ll support Senate Joint Resolution 59, you&#8217;ll support the Constitution that has stood the test of time,&#8221;

Trump&#8217;s administration has faced criticism from lawmakers for the recent U.S. strikes on Iran and the uncertainty surrounding Iran&#8217;s highly enriched uranium stockpiles. Despite this, the Senate&#8217;s Republican majority argued that the strikes were within the President&#8217;s rights as Commander-in-Chief and did not signify the beginning of prolonged hostilities.
Why It Matters: The Senate&#8217;s decision to uphold Trump&#8217;s war powers comes in the wake of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
The U.S. military executed precision strikes on <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 key Iranian nuclear facilities</a>, including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, which President Trump hailed as a &#8216;spectacular military success.&#8217;
Trump has also announced the possibility of further strikes if Iran resumes enriching uranium to concerning levels. Despite these developments, Trump declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46072859/trump-says-israel-is-not-going-to-attack-iran-after-ceasefire-violation-turn-around-and-head-home">asserting that Israel would not attack Iran</a>.
Trump&#8217;s administration then announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107752/trump-announces-iran-nuclear-talks-following-us-strikes-that-severely-damaged-iranian-nuclear-program">nuclear talks with Iran</a> following the U.S. strikes, which were said to have severely damaged Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities. These developments sparked debate and concern, with Trump&#8217;s approval ratings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46129934/trump-approval-ratings-drop-after-attack-on-iran-tie-for-worst-since-second-term-started">experiencing a significant drop</a> in the lead-up and aftermath of the strikes.

Senate Defends Trump's War Powers, Rejects Push For Congressional Approval For Further Action Against Iran

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;hinted at the possibility of adjusting the early July deadline for reinstating significant U.S. tariffs on various countries.
What Happened: On Friday, Trump suggested that the July 9 deadline for a U.S.-EU trade deal might not be set in stone.
"We&nbsp;can do whatever we want,"&nbsp;he told reporters at the White House, according <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/trump-tariff-trade-deadline-july.html">to</a> a CNBC report.
"We could extend it. We could make it shorter."
This statement also addressed the July 8 deadline, which marks the end of&nbsp;a three-month pause on his&nbsp;"Liberation Day" tariffs.
The pause temporarily reduced tariffs to 10%, but they could revert to higher rates unless Trump&#8217;s executive order from April 9 is amended.
During the 90-day pause, the White House aimed to negotiate individual trade agreements, but&nbsp;with less than two weeks&nbsp;left, only limited&nbsp;agreements with China and the&nbsp;United Kingdom have been finalized.
Trump mentioned deals with "probably four or five different&nbsp;countries," yet emphasized the extensive list of countries still targeted by tariffs.
Despite a federal trade court ruling against the tariffs in May,&nbsp;a federal appeals court has&nbsp;temporarily halted that decision.&nbsp;White House press secretary Karoline&nbsp;Leavitt hinted at the possibility of extending the July deadlines, but emphasized that the decision rests with the President.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent remarks come on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46150909/trump-canada-tariffs-dollar-deal">dramatic shift</a> in trade negotiations with Canada. On the same day, Trump halted all trade talks with Canada, citing their new Digital Services Tax on American technology companies as a &#8220;direct and blatant attack&#8221; on the U.S.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and China have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133537/howard-lutnick-confirms-us-china-trade-agreement-reaffirms-white-houses-progress-to-close-deals-with-10-other-trading-partners">finalized</a> a trade agreement, building on discussions held in Geneva last month. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the deal, noting plans to secure agreements with ten other major trading partners.
Trump's tariff preference is not new. In a 1988 interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Trump voiced his frustration with U.S. allies, asserting that they should &#8220;pay their fair share&#8221; in trade relations with the United States. He specifically pointed to Japan and Kuwait as examples of nations benefiting at the expense of the U.S.

Trump Says July Tariff Deadline Not Set In Stone: 'We Can Do Whatever We Want'

Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reached a significant milestone in autonomous driving technology. The company successfully completed its&nbsp;first fully autonomous delivery of&nbsp;a Model Y.
What Happened: Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;announced on Saturday that the EV giant achieved a milestone by completing the&nbsp;first fully autonomous delivery of&nbsp;a Model Y.
"The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!" Musk said in a post on the social media platform X.

Musk credited the achievement to the efforts of the&nbsp;Tesla AI&nbsp;teams, responsible for both software and AI chip design.
He added that during the journey, there were no individuals inside the vehicle, nor were there any remote operators controlling it. Musk emphasized that this is, to the best of their knowledge, the first instance of a fully autonomous drive on public highways without any human presence or remote operation.

Why It Matters: This achievement follows a series of advancements in Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving technology. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42894743/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-fsd-will-be-safer-than-human-drivers-in-q2-2025">Musk revealed</a> that Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology would surpass human driving safety by the second quarter of 2025. He predicted that FSD would eventually become ten times safer than human drivers, reducing the likelihood of accidents significantly.
In January, Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43295163/elon-musk-says-unsupervised-full-self-driving-begins-as-tesla-can-now-drive-itself-from-factory-to-loading-docks">announced</a> a breakthrough, stating that its vehicles could autonomously navigate from the factory to loading docks without human intervention, which was the precursor to the current achievement.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46048103/teslas-robotaxi-rollout-sparks-expansion-buzz-elon-musks-company-says-fsd-can-be-deployed-anywhere-after-austin-launch">Tesla launched</a> its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, with a limited number of Model Y Robotaxis.

Elon Musk Reacts After Tesla Completes Autonomous Delivery Of Model Y: From Factory To Customer Home Across Town, Through Highways

The Donald Trump administration is preparing a set of executive actions to bolster the U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) sector, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805623/palantir-ceo-warns-us-china-ai-race-will-have-one-winner-urges-west-to-keep-up">aiming to outpace China</a> in the global AI race.
What Happened: The administration's proposed actions aim to ease power grid constraints and expedite data center construction, both crucial to supporting AI development, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The initiatives include facilitating power-generating projects&#8217; connections to the grid and offering federal land for data center construction.
The moves are intended to address the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46117348/meta-secures-more-clean-energy-for-power-hungry-ai-and-data-center-growth">electricity demand driven by AI</a>, which is projected to increase U.S. power demand five times faster than anticipated by 2029.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46135663/marc-benioff-says-ai-now-handles-up-to-50-of-work-at-salesforce-could-an-ai-agent-eventually-take-over-his-job">Marc Benioff Says AI Now Handles Up To 50% Of Work At Salesforce — Could An AI Agent Eventually Take Over His Job?</a>
Power demand from AI data centers could surge over 30-fold by 2035, the report noted, citing Deloitte.
The White House is also set to release an AI action plan, with a nationwide &#8220;AI Action Day&#8221; slated for July 23 to highlight the report's recommendations.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The surging demand for AI is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45816468/ai-data-centers-are-eating-electricity-and-these-3-energy-stocks-could-be-the-biggest-winners-says-analyst">transforming the energy landscape</a>, fueling growth for independent power producers (IPPs) like Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and NRG Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>).
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects electricity use in the country to keep rising through 2025 and 2026, reaching new record levels, mainly due to increased demand from commercial and industrial users like data centers.
ICF International predicts that U.S. electricity needs could jump by 25% by 2030 and soar by 78% by 2050.

Trump's AI Power Play—Executive Orders Aim To Outpace China, Rewire US Grid In Fight For Tech Supremacy: Report

Jim Cramer&nbsp;expressed concerns on Monday about&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) experiencing a significant stock decline, questioning if it was a result of the Russell index rebalance.
What Happened: Palantir's stock price plunged by over 10% on Friday, amid easing tensions in the Middle East and a possible pullback after a recent bull run in the stock.
Despite this drop, Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show Palantir's shares rank in the 98th and 97% percentiles on Momentum and Growth, respectively. Click&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;for deeper insights into the stock.

CNBC's "Mad Money" host Cramer wondered if the fall in Palantir stock could be due to a rebalance by FTSE Russell in its U.S. indices.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Was Palantir a casualty of the Russell rebalance?

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Cramer&#8217;s post comes after he recently praised Palantir, suggesting it has the potential to be valued at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46134364/palantir-is-a-200-stock-masquerading-as-144-says-jim-cramer-highlights-new-nuclear-operating-system-microsoft-endorsement">$200 per share</a>, despite its current trading levels.
During his analysis, Cramer also highlighted Palantir&#8217;s new nuclear operating system and endorsement from&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).

Why It Matters: The stock market often reacts to index rebalances, which can cause volatility. Cramer&#8217;s comments come at a time when Palantir&#8217;s stock has been performing well, hitting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46098312/palantir-stock-hits-all-time-high-whats-going-on">new all-time highs</a> and rising over 500% in the past year.
Despite the recent drop, the stock remains up approximately 93% year-to-date.
Moreover, Palantir&#8217;s innovative approach, particularly its Forward Deployed Engineer model, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46109638/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-praises-palantirs-fde-model-as-fantastic-insiders-say-its-not-consulting-it-builds-the-product-customers-need">received praise</a> from industry leaders like&nbsp;Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. Nadella described the model as &#8220;fantastic,&#8221; emphasizing its unique role in product development rather than traditional consulting.
Price Action:&nbsp;Shares of Palantir closed 10.64% lower on Friday, but rose 2.85% in 0.69% after hours.

Palantir Stock Price Falls Over 10%: Jim Cramer Wonders If It Was A Casualty Of Russell Rebalance Days After Calling It A $200 Stock

Dave Ramsey, founder and CEO of Ramsey Solutions and a well-known radio host, has offered some tough advice to pet owners who are facing financial difficulties in keeping their pets alive.
What Happened: Ramsey recently addressed a difficult question from a listener who was struggling with the financial burden of their pet&#8217;s medical bills, according to a report <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/dave-ramsey-has-blunt-words-on-spending-money-to-keep-a-dog-alive">by</a> The Street.
The listener, identified as Jeff, disclosed that he and his wife have an annual household income of $127,000. They were faced with expensive veterinary bills for their elderly dog, prompting them to question how much they should be willing to spend to keep their pet alive.
Ramsey, a self-proclaimed dog lover, acknowledged the emotional difficulty of the situation. He stated, &#8220;That being said, this little animal that I love like crazy is still … a dog,&#8221;
Ramsey said that his children and grandchildren would take priority over his pets when it comes to spending money to keep them alive, cautioning against the risk of the pet&#8217;s well-being being overshadowed by the owner&#8217;s emotions.
He advised that if the pet&#8217;s condition can be improved with a reasonable amount of money, it may be worth it. However, he strongly advised against going into debt or causing financial strain to keep a pet alive.

Why It Matters: Ramsey&#8217;s advice on this issue is consistent with his overall approach to personal finance. He has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45496493/dave-ramsey-shares-four-money-lessons-every-child-should-learn-money-comes-from-work-not-from-other-people">offered guidance</a> to high-earning individuals who struggle with financial discipline, emphasizing the importance of living within one&#8217;s means.
His recent advice also aligns with his previous comments about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45753871/man-calls-dave-ramsey-for-guidance-because-he-has-no-savings-despite-earning-200k-annually">financial responsibility </a>of pet ownership.

I truly prefer this dog to most people, I really do.&#8221;
However, he made it clear that his love for his pet does not justify going into debt to cover expensive medical procedures.

하니웰 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>)이 존슨 매티(Johnson Matthey), 기다라 에너지(GIDARA Energy) 그리고 삼성 E&amp;A와 전략적 기술 제휴를 체결하여 바이오매스와<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45785467/honeywell-johnson-matthey-gidara-energy-and-samsung-e-a-form-saf-technology-alliance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 생활 폐기물</a>로부터 지속 가능한 항공 연료(SAF)를 생산하기 위한 포괄적인 글로벌 솔루션을 제공한다고 밝혔다.
이 협업은 각 회사의 전문성을 결합하여 원료 조달부터 연료 생산까지 SAF 가치 사슬 전체를 간소화하는 통합적이고 종합적인 접근 방식을 제공한다.
이번 협업을 통해 회사들은 피셔-트롭쉬(Fischer-Tropsch, FT) 공정을 기반으로 한 통합 기술 솔루션을 출시할 계획이며, 이는 널리 사용 가능한 원료 접근성을 확대하고 지속 가능한 항공 연료(SAF)에 대한 증가하는 글로벌 수요를 해결하는 데 목적이 있다.
또한 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45503887" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">양자 컴퓨팅과 AI: 엔비디아의 다음 대형 베팅이 이 두 ETF를 강화할 수 있다</a>
이 공동 접근 방식은 고객에게 단일 책임 지점을 제공함으로써 프로젝트 실행을 간소화하고, 일정 단축 및 SAF 생산 체인 전반에 걸쳐 일관된 커뮤니케이션, 조정 및 성과 보장을 보장하는 데 도움을 줄 것이다.
통합되고 모듈화된 솔루션은 타당성 조사부터 시설 가동까지의 시간을 15% 이상 단축하고, 자본 지출을 최대 10%까지 줄일 것으로 예상된다.
이 회사는 이 비독점 솔루션이 전체 서비스 제공을 원하는 고객을 위해 설계되었으며, 원료를 변환하는 가스화 및 합성가스 생산에 대한 기가라 에너지의 전문성과 합성가스를 연료로 전환하기 위한 존슨 매티의 첨단 촉매 기술, 하니웰의 공정 기술 및 디지털 자동화 능력, 삼성 E&amp;A의 엔지니어링, 조달, 건설 및 프로젝트 실행 관리에 대한 글로벌 전문성을 통합한다고 밝혔다.
켄 웨스트(Ken West), 하니웰 에너지 및 지속 가능 솔루션 사장 겸 CEO는 &#8220;SAF에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 사용 가능한 원료 옵션을 확대하기 위한 기술이 점점 더 중요해지고 있다. 이 포괄적인 제휴는 정제업체들이 그들의 비전을 신속하게 실행할 수 있는 전략적 접근 방식을 제공한다&#8221;고 말했다.
모리츠 반 톨(Maurits van Tol), 존슨 매티 촉매 기술 CEO는 &#8220;이 제휴는 SAF 생산자들이 직면한 공통적인 문제를 겨냥하고 있으며, 더 빠르고 낮은 자본 비용으로 새로운 길을 제공한다. 이러한 선도적인 전문성을 모으는 것은 고객들이 프로젝트의 최종 투자 결정을 내리는 데 중요한 지원이 되며, SAF가 전 세계적으로 배포되는 속도를 가속화하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있다&#8221;고 덧붙였다.
5월, 하니웰은 존슨 매티의 촉매 기술 부서를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45561483/honeywell-deepens-renewable-fuels-push-with-2-4-billion-deal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">18억 파운드(24억 달러)</a> 규모의 현금 거래로 인수한다고 발표했다.
이 구매가는 세금 혜택과 예상되는 비용 시너지를 고려할 때 2025년 예상 EBITDA의 약 11배에 해당한다.
투자자들은 테마스 트랜스아틀란틱 방산 ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NATO#NASDAQ">NATO</a>) 및 가벨리 상업 항공 및 방산 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCAD#NYSE">GCAD</a>)를 통해 이 주식에 노출될 수 있다.

항공 업계는 전통적인 호황-불황 사이클에서 벗어날 수 있는 구조적 변화를 겪고 있다. 크레이머는 스피릿항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>)과 사우스웨스트항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) 같은 저가 항공사의 경쟁이 줄어들고 있다고 지적했다. 저가 항공사들이 확장 계획을 축소하면서 항공 산업은 구조적 변화를 겪고 있다.
또한, 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)의 제조 지연으로 인해 업계의 수송 능력이 자연스럽게 제한되었다.

왜 중요한가:  팬데믹 이후 비즈니스 여행의 재개와 잠재적인 연준 금리인하도 항공 섹터의 전망을 더욱 강화했다. 그러나 짐 크레이머는 항공사들이 역사적으로 장기 투자보다는 거래 수단으로 더 좋은 성과를 거뒀다고 언급하며 자신의 전형적인 신중함을 유지했다.

짐 크레이머는 &#8220;내 직감은 음악이 멈추기 전에 현금을 회수할 때일지도 모른다고 말한다&#8221;며 업계의 역학에 구조적 변화가 있을 가능성을 인정하며 조언했다.

짐 크레이머, 구조적 변화 속 "항공사 주식 강세 계속될 수 있어"

보잉 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)의 주식이 수요일 3% 이상 하락했다. 화요일  회사는 2043년까지 항공 화물 수송량이 연평균 4% 증가할 것으로 예상한다고 발표했다.
특히, 보잉은 전세계 항공 화물 기단이 2023년 2,340대에서 2043년까지 3,900대로 67% 성장할 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">아시아의 강력한 수요</a>에 의해 촉발된 것이다.
새롭게 인도될 항공기 중 거의 절반은 퇴역하는 화물기를 더 효율적인 모델로 교체할 것으로 예상된다.
아시아-태평양 지역의 화물 기단은 거의 세 배로 증가할 것으로 예상되며, 이 지역은 980대의 새로운 화물기가 필요하고, 그 다음은 북미로 955대가 필요하다.
또한, 보잉은 인도의 국내 항공 화물 시장이 전자상거래와 익스프레스 네트워크의 성장으로 인해 거의 4배로 증가할 것으로 예상하고 있다.
보잉의 상업 마케팅 부사장인 대런 헐스트(Darren Hulst)는 &#8220;향후 20년 동안 화물기 수요를 지속적으로 이끌어낼 많은 요인이 있을 것이다. 여기에는 신흥 시장의 확장과 제조업 및 전자상거래의 글로벌 성장 등이 포함된다&#8221;고 말했다.
별도의 발표에서 보잉은 밀레니엄 스페이스 시스템즈(Millennium Space Systems)이 미 항공우주국(NASA)의 TRACERS 미션을 위한 두 개의 우주선을 완성했다고 밝혔다. 이 미션은 태양풍과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41898690/millennium-spacecraft-for-nasa-tracers-mission-moves-to-testing-phase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">지구의 자기장 간</a>의 상호작용을 측정하도록 설계되었다.
화요일, 보잉은 10월 동안 14대의 항공기를 인도했다고 밝혔는데, 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41914720/whats-going-on-with-boeing-shares-tuesday-2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2020년 11월 이후</a> 가장 낮은 인도 수치이다.
이는 수천 명의 보잉 직원들이 지난주 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41736062/boeing-workers-end-seven-week-strike-by-accepting-new-contract-with-major-pay-increases" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">새로운 4년 노동 계약</a> 승인 후 다시 일터로 복귀하기로 합의한 후 발생한 일이다.
투자자들은 First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund First Trust Indxx Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MISL#NYSE">MISL</a>)와 Gabelli Commercial Aerospace and Defense ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCAD#NYSE">GCAD</a>)를 통해 이 주식에 대한 노출을 얻을 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 보잉의 주식은 수요일 3.58% 하락한 139.97달러에 마감되었다.

허니웰 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) 주식이 수요일 3% 이상 상승했다. 이는 회사가 퀄컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>)과의 협력을 확대하여 새로운 인공지능(AI) 기반 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41247915/honeywell-and-qualcomm-work-to-revolutionize-energy-sector-with-5g-low-power-wireless-and-ai-enabl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">에너지 부문 솔루션</a>을 개발하기로 한 발표 때문이다.

허니웰과 퀄컴 파트너십 확대: 인공지능과 연결 기술로 에너지 산업 운영 강화

보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 주식은 수요일 3% 이상 하락했다. 화요일 이 회사는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41236652/boeing-hit-with-737-safety-alert-issues-deliveries-warning-as-strike-continues" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">제조 운영이 중단</a>되는 가운데 9월에 33대 이상의 항공기를 고객에게 인도했다고 보고했다.
RBC의 애널리스트 켄 허버트(Ken Herbert)는 파업에도 불구하고 9월에 인도된 27대의 맥스(MAX) 항공기는 약간 긍정적으로 평가된다고 언급했다.
이 애널리스트는 10월의 보잉 항공기 인도가 국제기계공 및 항공노동자협회(IAM) 파업으로 인해 크게 감소할 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 이 파업은 9월 13일에 시작되어 737, 767 및 777 모델의 생산을 중단시켰다.
처음에 투자자들은 올해 400-450대의 맥스 항공기 인도를 예상했지만, 현재는 약 325대로 하락했을 가능성이 높다고 이 애널리스트가 덧붙였다.
허버트는 투자자들의 관심이 2025년 맥스 생산 증가로 이동하고 있으며, 연말까지 매달 30대 후반의 지속적인 생산이 긍정적으로 평가된다고 말했다.
그러나 이 애널리스트는 회사 주문이 현재 투자자들에게 주요 관심사가 아니라고 생각하고 있으며, 경제 완화 기간 동안 주문 활동이 느려지는 경향이 있다고 언급했다.
보잉의 상당한 백로그(backlog)를 고려할 때, 초점은 IAM 계약 해결과 진행 중인 파업 속에서의 유동성 및 현금 소모 관리에 있을 것이다.
이 애널리스트는 이 회사를 아웃퍼폼(Outperform)으로 평가하고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">목표 주가를 $220.00</a>로 설정했다.
오늘 보잉은 기계공 노조와의 협상 중단을 발표했으며, 이는 실패한 회담으로 인해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/10/41248839/boeing-stock-faces-strike-turbulence-as-potential-credit-downgrade-looms" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">한 달 간의 파업 중</a> 재정적 압박을 심화시켰다.
기술적 지표들은 보잉 주식이 상당한 매도 압박을 받고 있으며, 추가 하락의 위험이 있음을 보여준다.
투자자들은 이 주식 대한 노출을 얻기 위해 Gabelli Commercial Aerospace and Defense ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCAD#NYSE">GCAD</a>)와 Invesco Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPA#NYSE">PPA</a>)를 이용할 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 보잉 주식은 수요일 3.41% 하락한 $150.48에 마감되었다.
