The Medicines And Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency Has Approved BridgeBio Pharma's Acoramidis, Under The Brand Name Beyonttra, For Wild-type Or Variant Transthyretin Amyloidosis In Adult Patients With Cardiomyopathy

China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the country's top economic planning agency, is downplaying the impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs and projecting strong growth despite mounting macroeconomic headwinds.
What Happened: On Monday, Zhao Chenxin, Vice Head of the NDRC, said he was &#8220;fully confident&#8221; that China would meet its target of 5% economic growth in 2025, despite mounting uncertainties and warnings of a sharp downturn from leading analysts, according to a Reuters report.
&#8220;No Matter how the international situation changes, we will anchor our development goals, maintain strategic focus, and concentrate on doing our own thing,&#8221; Zhao said.
This comes amid a particularly difficult period for the Chinese economy, which is already reeling from deflation and a prolonged property crisis. 
At the same time, Torsten Slok, the Chief Economist at Apollo Global Management, joined the growing chorus of experts and eminent intellectuals in recent weeks by predicting a &#8220;90% chance we&#8217;ll have a recession&#8221; if the tariffs remain at their current levels.
Speaking on the Economics Matters podcast on Friday, Slok said that small businesses that account for 80% of employment in the U.S. and 80% of the capital expenditure will be hit hard by the tariffs.

Why It Matters: Recession fears have continually edged higher throughout this past month, with economists, banks, and betting markets all pricing a <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44801373/a-us-recession-in-2025-betting-odds-say-its-more-likely-than-not">high probability of a recession</a> this year.
There are, of course, others with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44943850/chevron-ceo-sees-no-sign-of-recession-at-this-point-predicts-9-billion-in-free-cash-flow-by-2026">contrarian take on this</a>, such as the CEO of Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), who said last week that there were &#8220;no signs of a recession at this point.&#8221; 
Even the International Monetary Fund sees a slowdown in the global economy, but <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44889521/recession-not-so-fast-says-imf-even-after-trump-tariff-chaos">stops short of forecasting a recession</a>, offering reassurance that the world can weather Washington&#8217;s tariff storm.

Analysts from Goldman Sachs have warned that the U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports could put up to 16 million jobs in China at risk, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
What Happened: The bank stated that persistently high U.S.-China tariffs and a significant drop in Chinese exports could put pressure on labor markets. The jobs under threat are primarily involved in the production of exports to the U.S., with nearly a quarter in the wholesale and retail sectors, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3308140/us-tariffs-could-endanger-16-million-export-jobs-china-goldman-sachs">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
"If high US-China tariffs were to persist and Chinese exports were to fall precipitously, labor markets would surely feel the pressure," stated the report
This year, the U.S. has levied tariffs of 145% on Chinese imports, pushing the effective tariff rate to around 156%. In retaliation, Beijing has imposed a 125% tariff on all U.S. goods, in addition to previous duties.
Goldman Sachs highlighted that communication equipment, apparel, and chemical products are more susceptible due to their significant share in US-bound exports from China. The bank also proposed that Chinese manufacturers could relocate production to third countries to circumvent high duties.
The report also noted that the U.S. removal of tariff exemptions for low-value package shipments is putting &#8217;employment pressure&#8217; on China's retail and wholesale sectors.

As per the bank, the tariffs could reduce Chinese real GDP by 2.6 percentage points — with a 2.2 percentage point impact hitting as soon as 2025.
The bank also predicted that the possibility of a U.S.-China decoupling could lead to a massive<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44787496/goldman-sachs-warns-25-trillion-sell-off-in-the-extreme-event-of-us-china-decoupling-as-scott-bessent-says-everything-is-on-the-table"> $2.5 trillion </a>sell-off. In an extreme scenario, investors from both countries might be forced to divest their holdings of equities and debt instruments. 
Meanwhile, S&amp;P Global Ratings on Friday stated that Trump's tariff increases are expected to primarily affect China's coastal provinces, including Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Zhejiang, along with Shanghai, a key port and financial hub.
That being said, a possible easing of trade tensions,&nbsp;China last week,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts"> reportedly began </a>exempting&nbsp;some U.S. imports from high tariffs, including pharmaceutical imports and aerospace parts. Companies in China have been approached by officials to identify essential U.S. goods that are difficult to replace. Furthermore, the 24-member Politburo, led by President Xi Jinping, committed to stabilizing China's economy and employment, and called for support measures for those impacted by tariffs following a meeting last week.

"This is a going to be a big success. We all want more simplicity and flexibility in our lives," Ackman shared in his post.
Why It Matters: Slate Auto has only one product on offer, which it calls the ‘Blank Slate.' In its base form, it is a two-seater EV pickup truck in grey with a 150-mile range, but customers can personalize the car in whatever way they want, including a 5-seater SUV.
The company says that with the federal EV credit, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45006513/jeff-bezos-backed-tesla-rival-unveils-20000-modular-ev-pickup-truck-with-customization-at-the-forefront">car could cost $20,000</a>, which is significantly cheaper than the likes of Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck or Rivian Automotive Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) R1T.
While Slate Auto says the company aims to begin deliveries by 2026, the EV pickup truck has already garnered a lot of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44784826/jeff-bezos-backed-slate-auto-to-take-on-elon-musks-tesla-rivian-with-budget-ev-pickup-report">buzz on social media</a> platforms like Reddit.&nbsp;
Interestingly, the release comes at a time when the domestic EV market in the U.S. is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44755934/us-q1-ev-sales-data-shows-106-yoy-growth-tesla-experiences-decline-but-still-dominates-domestic-ev-sales">experiencing a surge</a>, which Slate Auto could take advantage of given its product's competitive pricing.

Bill Ackman Hails Jeff Bezos-Backed Tesla Rival Slate Auto, Says It Will Be 'A Big Success'

Huawei Technologies is reportedly preparing to test its most powerful artificial intelligence processor to date, with hopes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44356270/huawei-develops-in-house-chips-to-counter-us-sanctions-and-leap-ahead-in-the-tech-war">replacing high-end chips</a> from U.S. giant Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), even as U.S. sanctions continue to stifle China&#8217;s semiconductor ambitions.
What Happened: Huawei has begun the testing phase of its new AI chip, the Ascend 910D, which is designed to rival Nvidia's flagship processors, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/chinas-huawei-develops-new-ai-chip-seeking-to-match-nvidia-8166f606?mod=tech_lead_pos1">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The chip will undergo a series of technical tests, with samples expected to be ready by late May. The Ascend 910D aims to surpass Nvidia's H100 chip, a popular choice for AI training tasks.
This move marks a significant step forward for Huawei's semiconductor division, which has faced substantial challenges due to <a href="http://v/">U.S. sanctions over</a> the past six years.

This year, Huawei plans to ship over 800,000 Ascend 910B and 910C chips. Customers include state-run telecoms and companies like ByteDance, the report noted, citing the sources. 
However, Huawei has been struggling to manufacture these chips on a large scale due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963176/chinese-tech-firms-led-by-alibaba-hoard-nvidia-ai-chips-amid-us-sanctions">obstacles in its supply chain</a>. The company has been excluded from working with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Its closest alternative, Semiconductor Manufacturing International, is also restricted from acquiring the latest chip-making technology.
Why It&#8217;s Important: Earlier this month, the U.S. government placed Nvidia's H20 chip—its most advanced processor available for sale in China without a license—on a list of semiconductors facing sales restrictions.
Nvidia revealed that this move would lead to a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker"> $5.5 billion financial hit</a>.
On Sunday, Chamath Palihapitiya spoke about how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45030669/chamath-palihapitiya-says-nvidia-is-huaweis-new-target-a-national-champion-that-crushed-tech-giants-with-a-low-end-disruptor-strategy">Huawei has effectively executed</a> a &#8220;low-end disruptor&#8221; strategy. This strategy focuses on creating products that match or exceed the quality of industry leaders, but at a more affordable price.
He highlighted several companies Huawei has already surpassed, including Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIC#NASDAQ">ERIC</a>) and Nokia (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>).
Previously, the SPAC king raised concerns that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44891778/nvidia-not-acting-in-us-interests-says-chamath-palihapitiya-questions-how-alibaba-or-deepseek-are-one-step-ahead">Nvidia may not be prioritizing</a> the best interests of the U.S.

Nvidia Faces New Challenge As Huawei Tests Powerful Ascend 910D AI Chip Amid US Sanctions, Aiming To Disrupt High-End Market: Report

Global defense budgets reached unprecedented levels in 2024, driven by mounting conflicts and geopolitical strains. A new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) showcases a sensational increase in military spending across the globe.
What Happened: According <a href="https://www.sipri.org/media/press-release/2025/unprecedented-rise-global-military-expenditure-european-and-middle-east-spending-surges">to</a> SIPRI, military expenditure rose 9.4% to $2.72 trillion. This marks the most drastic annual increase since the Cold War concluded. All regions reported higher defense outlays, with Europe and the Middle East demonstrating particularly speedy growth. 
More than 100 nations enhanced their military budgets, often reallocating funds from other crucial sectors. U.S. military expenditure touched $997 billion, making up 66% of NATO&#8217;s total and 37% of global defense spending.

Why It Matters: Europe&#8217;s military expenditure, including Russia, soared 17%, moving past Cold War-era numbers. Russia&#8217;s defense budget alone rose by 38% to an approximate $149 billion, making up 7.1% of its Gross Domestic Product. 
Ukraine, despite major financial difficulties, increased military spending by 2.9% to $64.7 billion, with its defense budget now taking up all available tax revenue.
The report underscores rising concerns about the long-term impact of prioritizing military budgets over social and economic necessities. 
SIPRI warns that the trend could restructure societies for decades to come. In Europe, the ongoing war in Ukraine and ambiguity surrounding U.S. NATO support have prompted increased defense spending.

Mitsubishi Electric Launches Share Buyback Program For 60M Shares Worth Up To JPY 100B

In a recent private event,&nbsp;Donald Trump Jr., son of the U.S. President, voiced his support for enhanced business cooperation with Eastern Europe.
What Happened: Trump Jr. underscored his close connections to the region during his address at the Trump Business Vision 2025 event organized by businessman Zoltán Aczél and Portfolio at Budapest, Hungary. He spotlighted his Czechoslovakian roots and language proficiency owing to his mother late Ivana Trump, and applauded the region&#8217;s dramatic evolution over the past five decades, <a href="https://www.portfolio.hu/en/economy/20250425/donald-trump-jr-we-want-to-do-a-lot-of-good-business-with-our-friendly-allies-757309">reported</a> Portfolio.
As the&nbsp;Executive Vice President of the&nbsp;Trump Organization, Trump Jr. praised Hungary&#8217;s robust political leadership, specifically Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He expressed belief in the potential for successful collaboration between American and Hungarian businesses.
He is hopeful that the U.S.-Eastern Europe ties would generate a lot of business amid threats facing the U.S., Hungary and the Central and Eastern European region.
&#8220;I understand the threat that looms from so many places and it&#8217;s not the evil boogeyman of Russia, but likely China,&#8221; pointed out the U.S. President&#8217;s son. 
Trump Jr. recognized the necessity to diversify the U.S. economy&#8217;s dependencies, pointing out the high concentration of pharmaceutical production in China and advanced chip technology in Taiwan. He proposed that Eastern Europe, with its committed workforce and lower labor costs, could assume many activities currently outsourced to China.
&#8220;Pulling away from China is the first step, the dependence is too high,&#8221; stated Trump Jr.

I'm Rich. I'm Not Going to Hand It to You, You Gotta Earn It&#8217; &#8211; Benzinga</a>
Why It Matters: This comes at a time when the U.S. is experiencing strained relations with China. The ongoing trade war with China has led to a significant decrease in U.S. imports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45026616/trumps-trade-war-causes-sharp-decline-in-us-imports-from-china">from the</a> Asian nation, while China&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44973283/china-denies-trumps-trade-talk-assertion-calls-for-abolition-of-unilateral-tariffs-no-factual-basis">denied rumors</a> of ongoing trade discussions with the U.S.
Against this backdrop, analysts suggest there are concerns that China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44892820/xi-jinping-could-woo-europe-with-a-potential-china-deal-to-undercut-trumps-tariff-strategy-expert-warns">might leverage</a> the strained U.S.-EU relations to its benefit, leading Beijing to shift the majority exports to Europe.
Trump Jr.&#8217;s call for increased cooperation with Eastern Europe could be seen as a strategic move to diversify the U.S.&#8217;s economic dependencies amid these ongoing tensions. Despite not being a member of the Trump administration, Trump Jr. was hopeful about the renewal of the expired double tax treaty between the U.S. and Hungary, citing the strong relationship between his father, Donald Trump and Prime Minister Orbán.

The authorities initially prioritized vaccination of adults aged 65 and over, especially those with comorbidities. On April 25, the French health authorities decided to suspend the use of IXCHIQ&#xAE; in persons aged 65 years and older pending further investigation. This is a response to an ongoing investigation of three cases of SAEs resulting in hospitalization, including one death, after vaccination with IXCHIQ&#xAE; among people in La Reunion. The three individuals who were hospitalized were over 80 years old and had pre-existing comorbidities3. These SAEs were reported through the pharmacovigilance system set up by the French health authorities, and causality has not been definitively established. The HAS maintains its current recommendation for IXCHIQ&#xAE; for people aged 18 to 64 years old as part of the ongoing vaccination campaign.

What Happened: Author Bradford G Smith suffers from ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a very rare nervous system disease that severely impacts motor functions. Smith released a video on the social media platform X to share the update on Sunday.

Smith says that he uses the Neuralink implant to control the cursor on his laptop as well as Grok AI to create a clone of his own voice to speak. The video Smith shared was also edited by the BCI chip.

Man Battling ALS Becomes First Non-Verbal Patient To Receive Elon Musk's Neuralink Brain Implant

As AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Perplexity reshape how users search for information, brands are adjusting their strategies to maintain visibility in this new search environment, which is increasingly displacing traditional search engines like 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>) Google.
What Happened: In a shift that threatens Google's dominance, brands are adopting new strategies to ensure they remain visible in the results generated by AI chatbots, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/9cc6cc0b-759f-4b8e-9ed1-9e32ad0fe22f">reported</a> the Financial Times on Sunday.
Instead of clicking through to websites, many users now rely on AI's synthesized responses, which have decreased web traffic by up to 25%, the report noted, citing research from consultancy Bain.
Taking cognizance of this development, companies like Brandtech and Profound have developed tools that monitor how often brands appear in AI-driven responses, providing insights on how businesses can optimize for these models.

"This is about much more than just getting your website indexed in their results. This is about recognizing large language models as the ultimate influencer," said Jack Smyth, partner at Brandtech.
Brandtech has developed a &#8220;Share of Model&#8221; tool that helps brands analyze their visibility in AI search results and provides recommendations for optimizing website text and images.&nbsp;
Profound, which secured $3.5 million in seed funding in August, led by Khosla Ventures, offers a data analytics platform that enables brands to monitor popular industry queries and assess their standing within AI search results, the report said.
Why It's Important: On Thursday, Alphabet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">posted first-quarter revenue</a> of $90.23 billion, a 12% rise compared to the same period last year, beating Wall Street's expectation of $89.2 billion. Revenue from Google Search reached $50.7 billion, up from $46.2 billion a year earlier.
&nbsp;The strong performance helped ease investor concerns about rising competition from AI chatbots like Elon Musk's Grok and fears that Google's own Gemini chatbot and AI-generated summaries might be cutting into its traditional ad-driven search traffic, the report said.
Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster previously said that Google's existing search format, which blends AI overviews, blue links, and organic results, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44999838/can-google-adapt-like-amazon-or-will-it-face-ebays-fate-gene-munsters-candid-take-on-the-search-giants-path-forward-in-the-age-of-ai">may fall short against newer</a>, more streamlined search experiences offered by models like Grok, ChatGPT, and Claude.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Class A shares slipped 0.16% to $161.70, while Class C shares dipped 0.1% to $163.68, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Alphabet holds a growth score of 64.44%, based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other companies</a> in the sector.
