Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly developing a new artificial intelligence-powered battery optimization tool for iOS 19.
What Happened: The feature is part of the Apple Intelligence platform, which will use machine learning to analyze how users are interacting with their iPhones and then automatically adjust power consumption, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-12/apple-plans-ai-powered-battery-management-mode-for-devices-in-ios-19">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
The move comes as Apple plans to debut a thinner iPhone 17 model in September. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44348175/apples-iphone-17-air-to-usher-in-new-era-of-slimmer-portless-models">device dubbed</a> "iPhone 17 Air" will reportedly have a smaller battery than current models.

The new AI feature is designed to make up for this slimmer device's limited battery capacity, the report said. Although the feature will be available on all iPhones with the iOS 19 update.
Why It's Important: In March, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman described the iOS 19 software update as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44240980/iphones-after-ios-19-will-feature-a-very-different-look-heres-whats-apple-might-change">one of the most dramatic</a> software overhauls" ever in Cupertino's history. It could feature updates in icons, menus, apps, system buttons and windows.
Apple reportedly plans to complete the beta version of iOS 19 by the end of this month and release it for developers at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9.

Traditionally, Apple has made new software available to the public in September along with the latest iPhone launch.&nbsp;
On Monday, the Tim Cook-led company also rolled out iOS 18.5.
Price Action: According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apple shares rose 6.31% on Monday but dipped 0.20% in after-hours trading.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings awarded Apple a growth score of 46.18%, highlighting its solid market momentum. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other top-performing stocks</a>.

Apple Reportedly Leans On AI To Boost iPhone Battery Life In iOS 19 Ahead Of Launching Thinner iPhone 17 This Fall

The Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin project shortlisted the top 220 holders eligible for an exclusive dinner with President Donald Trump on Monday, with top wallets linked to foreign entities.
What Happened: The meme coin&#8217;s official website posted the <a href="https://trumpdinner.gettrumpmemes.com/">leaderboard</a>, stating, &#8220;President Trump will see YOU on May 22 at the Gala Dinner in Washington D.C.&#8221;
The top position on the leaderboard, with about $17.68 million in Trump&#8217;s meme coin, is associated with a wallet named &#8220;SUN,&#8221; which, according to Lookonchain, is owned by Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) founder and cryptocurrency billionaire Justin Sun.
Interestingly, Sun is also a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42198909/trump-linked-crypto-platform-world-liberty-financial-appoints-justin-sun-as-advisor-after-30-million-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">leading investor and advisor</a> at World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance platform backed by the Trump family.
Sun has been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44543856/justin-sun-features-on-forbes-cover-talks-crypto-and-trump-linked-investments">controversial figure</a> and faced legal pressures from the SEC on charges of fraud and market manipulation. Earlier in February, both parties—Sun and the SEC—requested a 60-day stay in the proceedings to explore a potential resolution.
Sun didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Trump Memecoin Exclusive Dinner Guest List Revealed With Justin Sun Shining At The Top: Report

A fire at an abandoned multi-story mattress warehouse near West Baltimore station on Monday evening has suspended all regional rail service, affecting thousands of commuters. Amtrak halted trains between Washington, D.C., and Wilmington, including BWI Airport connections, while MARC commuter lines also face disruptions.
&#8220;No time has been given as to when tracks will re-open,&#8221; Amtrak Northeast announced on social media. Fire crews responded shortly before 7:00 p.m., with no injuries reported, according to Baltimore Fire spokesperson John Marsh, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/13/us/fire-baltimore-mattress-warehouse-halts-trains-hnk">reported</a> CNN.
Fire Chief James Wallace noted that the warehouse&#8217;s proximity to electrified train tracks has complicated firefighting efforts. City officials say emergency teams are working with rail authorities to safely cut power before approaching the blaze from the track side.

CNBC's Jim Cramer urges investors to grab the armrest, not the eject button, after Washington and Beijing agreed to slash punitive duties for 90 days on Monday.
What Happened: &#8220;It's better to stay in, stay on and let her ride than to try to pick the perfect moment to trade in and out of the stock market,&#8221; Cramer said, according to a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/jim-cramer-says-its-better-to-stay-in-stay-on-and-let-her-ride-in-this-market-.html">report</a>. &#8220;That's not much of a strategy. It's much more a game of chicken where there are no winners,&#8221; he added.
Cramer noted how quickly traders reversed recession bets that had dominated screens only a week earlier. Tech names expected to bear the brunt of tariff pain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45357613/china-tariff-de-escalation-biggest-winners-include-tesla-apple-new-tech-highs-back-on-the-table-now-for-2025?_gl=1&#x2A;hxhm4q&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;Njk0ODEyNDAxLjE3NDA0NTQxMzE.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;R1MxLjEuMTc0NDM1NzIyNC4xLjAuMTc0NDM1NzIyNC4wLjAuMA..&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;czE3NDcxMDcwNzYkbzI2JGcxJHQxNzQ3MTA4Nzc5JGowJGwwJGgw">soared</a> — Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45358770/apple-stock-rises-following-us-china-trade-breakthrough">leapt</a> 6.2% and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) rose 4%, helping the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index climb 5.9%. The buying spree spilled into industrials and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45360068/bank-stocks-rise-as-uschina-tariff-truce-lifts-market-confidence-whats-going-on">banks</a>.
"Safety" plays told the other side of the story. Gold slid more than 3%, and the dollar strengthened against the yen and Swiss franc as haven demand evaporated.

Cramer warned that short-sellers angling for a quick reversal could get steamrolled. "We see how easily stocks can rally — isn't it a little dangerous to be that short?" he asked, arguing that Monday's pop proved policy shocks can rescue battered portfolios faster than traders can reposition.
Why It Matters: Wedbush analyst Dan Ives called Monday&#8217;s stock surge a "dream scenario" for tech investors. The Trump administration&#8217;s move to back off from its tariff regime against China also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45365521/larry-summers-says-trump-blinked-on-china-tariffs-sometimes-its-good-to-blink-as-markets-breathe-a-sigh-of-relief">gained praise</a> from an &#8220;encouraged&#8221; Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average — as tracked by the Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) — surged 2.8%, or more than 1,100 points. By mid-afternoon, it reached 42,385 — its second-best day in the past six months, eclipsed only by the 7.8% rally on April 9 when President Donald Trump announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">tariff suspension</a>.

Jim Cramer Says 'Sit Tight' As China Tariff Pause Creates 'Game Of Chicken' That Could Steamroll Market Timers

Activist investor Elliott Investment Management scored a victory on Monday when Institutional Shareholder Services recommended investors elect all four of Elliott&#8217;s director nominees to the Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) board, bolstering the hedge fund&#8217;s campaign for strategic changes at the oil refiner.
What Happened: Elliott, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43614105/activist-investor-elliott-builds-25-billion-stake-in-phillips-66-pressures-for-midstream-spinoff-report">holds a $2.5 billion stake in Phillips 66</a>, has urged the company to divest its midstream business. Proxy advisory firm ISS backed all four of Elliott's board nominees, joining Glass Lewis and Egan-Jones in supporting the activist's push ahead of the May 21 shareholder vote, Reuters reported.
ISS is a top proxy advisory firm whose recommendations guide major investors on corporate votes, often swaying outcomes in boardroom battles.
&#8220;Although the board has been reshaped since the pandemic, important industry perspectives have been overlooked, and there is strong evidence that the board is not willing to exercise independent oversight of management,&#8221; ISS wrote in its report.
The proxy advisor also challenged Phillips 66&#8217;s argument that its integrated strategy delivers superior returns, noting the stock began underperforming peers in mid-2021 and &#8220;has not been able to close the gap.&#8221; PSX shares have dropped 18% over the past 52 weeks, closing at $118.68 on Monday.

Why It Matters: Elliott first disclosed its investment in Phillips 66 in February, expanding from an initial $1 billion position that had already secured a board seat for refining veteran Robert Pease last year. The activist fund&#8217;s larger stake now places it among Phillips 66&#8217;s top five shareholders.
The hedge fund, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40411028/elliott-management-alums-spawn-their-offshoots-amid-rigid-changes-and-increased-bureaucracy-at-70b-h">which manages $70 billion</a>, has a strong track record in the energy sector with successful investments at Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>), NRG Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>), Suncor Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SU#NYSE">SU</a>) and Hess (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HES#NYSE">HES</a>).
Elliott said the ISS report &#8220;fully validates Elliott&#8217;s case for change,&#8221; according to the report.

It also brings AI-powered editing tools to the table, including Audio Eraser, which removes unwanted background noise from videos and Drawing Assist, a feature designed to enhance or correct hand-drawn sketches.
Under the hood, the S25 Edge runs on Qualcomm Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform.
Price and Availability: Preorders for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge are now open at Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Best Buy Co.

Why It's Important: The launch comes outside of Samsung's typical product cycle and underscores a strategic pivot.
During the company's latest earnings call, Daniel Araujo, vice president of Samsung's mobile division, warned of softening demand in the second quarter due to "seasonality trends" and the potential impact of global tariffs, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge-launch-specs-price-availability.html">reported</a> CNBC.
The U.S. briefly imposed reciprocal tariffs on tech goods in April, but exemptions for smartphones and chips offered a temporary reprieve. A new agreement between the U.S. and China on Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">paused most remaining tariffs</a>, creating a narrow window of opportunity for global manufacturers, the report added.
Analysts say the timing may also be aimed at beating Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44348175/apples-iphone-17-air-to-usher-in-new-era-of-slimmer-portless-models">rumored to release its own thin</a> flagship, the iPhone 17 Air, in September.
"Samsung is first out the gate with a slim design," Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, told the publication. "It is hard to believe this is not a pre-emptive strike following widespread speculation that Apple will have a thin iPhone in its next line-up."

What Happened: Bitcoin witnessed a big sell-off after the market opened, slipping below $101,000, but recovered to the mid-$102,000s by evening.
Ethereum traders also cashed in, dragging its price to $2,411.59 before a recovery late evening.
Bitcoin's market dominance fell further to 61.9%, while Ethereum's share rose to 9.1%, suggesting rotation of capital away from the apex cryptocurrency.
The pullback resulted in liquidations worth more than $690 million in the last 24 hours, with long liquidations accounting for $489 million.
Bitcoin's Open Interest dropped 0.73% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, bets against the cryptocurrency in the Binance derivatives market fell sharply, although the majority were still bearish.
"Greed" sentiment prevailed in the market, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.29 trillion, following a 1.93% decline in the last 24 hours.
Stocks started the fresh trading week with a bang. The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 1,160.72 points, or 2.81%, to end at 42,410.10. The S&amp;P 500 rose 3.26% to close at 5,844.19, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite popped 4.35% to end at 18,708.34.
The surge came after the U.S. and China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">agreed to slash their retaliatory tariffs</a> by over 100 percentage points, allaying concerns of a trade war.

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe said he would be interested in the $2,100-$2,250 area if Ethereum sees a pullback.
"I expect shallow corrections, but would be diving into these as opportunities," the trader revealed his strategy.

Another widely followed analyst, Rekt Capital, noted that ETH has reclaimed the $2200-$4000 macro range and will "likely" lift across the range over time.
"Any dips, if needed at all, would only solidify $2,200 as range low support," the analyst predicted.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Retreat, Stocks Rally After US-China Tariff De-Escalation: Analyst Sees Opportunity In $2,100-2,250 If ETH Corrects

House Republicans on Monday introduced legislation to eliminate the electric vehicle tax credit and repeal fuel efficiency rules, potentially disrupting billions in automaker investments amid growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">industry concerns about abrupt policy changes</a>.
What Happened: The proposal, scheduled for a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Tuesday, would terminate the $7,500 new-vehicle tax credit and $4,000 used-vehicle credit on December 31, though it extends the new-vehicle credit one year for automakers that haven&#8217;t reached 200,000 EV sales, Reuters reported.
While preserving the crucial battery production tax credit, the bill adds a provision barring credits for vehicles using components from Chinese companies or made under Chinese licensing agreements starting in 2027. This could impact automakers like Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) that utilize Chinese battery technology, the report noted.
The legislation would also rescind any unobligated funding from an advanced technology vehicle loan program that recently finalized several major deals, including $9.63 billion to Ford-SK On joint venture, $7.54 billion to Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>)-Samsung SDI venture, and $6.57 billion to Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>).

Why It Matters: Electric Drive Transportation Association President Genevieve Cullen criticized the proposal as &#8220;catastrophically short-sighted,&#8221; arguing it would deliver &#8220;an enormous market advantage&#8221; to competitors like China while threatening U.S. manufacturing jobs.
The move aligns with comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">who recently stated</a>, &#8220;I think there is a better chance we kill it than save it,&#8221; regarding the EV credit program. Industry experts project the incentives could cost $200 billion over the next decade.
Major U.S. automakers, including General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford, have urged the President Donald Trump administration to phase out credits gradually rather than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43648415/tesla-rivals-call-for-gradual-elimination-of-ev-tax-credits-many-of-those-jobs-will-be-at-risk">eliminate them immediately</a>, warning that jobs in the growing &#8220;Battery Belt&#8221; across 12 states could be at risk. 
The U.S. has already committed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43648415/tesla-rivals-call-for-gradual-elimination-of-ev-tax-credits-many-of-those-jobs-will-be-at-risk">approximately $200 billion</a> to create 200,000 EV-related jobs.

Republicans Target EV Perks With New Bill: Ford, Tesla, Rivian Face Fallout As $200 Billion In Battery Belt Investments Hang In Balance

Dog-themed meme coin Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WIF</a>) continued its upward march Monday, leaving market heavyweights trailing.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based token spiked over 5% to become the second-biggest cryptocurrency gainer over the last 24 hours. Its trading volume popped 176% to $1.64 billion, making it one of the most traded meme coins in the 24-hour period.
WIF defied the pullback in blue-chip currencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), which fell 1.88% and 6.51%, respectively.
Notably, the memecoin's Open Interest slid 2.34% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to Coinglass. Typically, a decline in Open Interest combined with a price increase implies that shorts were covering their positions.
Furthermore, over 70% of Binance traders with open WIF positions were long as of this writing, signaling that the rally would sustain..

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index, used to determine if the asset is overbought or oversold, flashed a "Sell" signal for the coin, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/WIFUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView. To the contrary, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence, which compares two exponential moving averages of price, generated a "Buy."
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, WIF was exchanging hands at $1.09, up 5.12% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Dogwifhat Shoots Up 5%: What's Going On?

What Happened: On Monday, macro strategist Craig Shapiro shared his views on X, commenting on the narrowing odds of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve following the de-escalation of the trade war with China.
He says the odds in favor of an aggressive rate cut were spurred by the China trade embargo increasing potential &#8220;left tail economic outcomes,&#8221; which essentially refers to unexpected or severe economic events hitting growth and employment figures this year.
However, with a tentative 90-day pause in tariffs on China now in place, Shapiro said, &#8220;the Fed should feel even more comfortable with their idea that a long pause makes more sense.&#8221;

Shapiro argues that the fallout from earlier tariff shocks, paired with worsening fiscal dynamics, could push the Fed to hold rates steady longer than investors expect. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The odds of Fed cutting more aggressively in 2025 were spurred by an increase in potential left tail economic outcomes from the China trade embargo really hitting growth and employment. Now that we have priced this out with the 90 days climb down, the Fed should feel even…
&mdash; Craig Shapiro (@ces921) <a href="https://twitter.com/ces921/status/1921933547171950890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 12, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The central bank will have to assess just how much of a &#8220;deficit buster&#8221; the tax cuts will be in the absence of spending cuts or meaningful tariff revenue, Shapiro said, posing the question rhetorically.
Looking ahead to the next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, Shapiro suggested that the dot plot, which charts each FOMC member's interest rate expectations, could reflect fewer projected cuts. &#8220;The next dot plot will be pulling rate cuts out rather than putting them in,&#8221; he said.
For the markets, Shapiro warns that this &#8220;increasing timeline&#8221; to get incremental Fed liquidity is &#8220;kryptonite,&#8221; underscoring the growing risk that risk assets face amid tightening conditions.
Why It Matters: Other analysts, such as Louis Navellier, have echoed similar views, arguing that the Federal Reserve will likely be the <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45283497/federal-reserve-will-be-the-last-to-cut-says-expert-anticipating-4-cuts-in-2025-a-thaw-in-us-china-trade-dispute-is-good-news">last major central bank</a> to cut rates amid a broader global easing cycle.
President Donald Trump has <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45125413/trump-slams-stubborn-federal-reserve-for-not-cutting-interest-rates-they-want-to-be-cute">repeatedly criticized</a> the Federal Reserve for not cutting interest rates fast enough, at one point even exploring options to remove <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44888232/trumps-top-economic-adviser-kevin-hassett-says-white-house-is-exploring-options-to-fire-fed-chair-jerome-powell-the-president-and-his-team-will-continue-to-study">Chairman Jerome Powell</a> from his post.
Despite growing pressure, however, the Fed and its chair have remained defiant, deciding to <a href="https://benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45263291/fed-keeps-rates-steady-warns-of-rising-uncertainty-about-the-economic-outlook">hold rates steady</a> for the third consecutive meeting during the most recent FOMC meeting last week. 
Late last month, Shapiro had <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44943319/craig-shapiro-takes-a-dig-at-donald-trump-trump-2-0-same-as-1-0-after-administration-hints-at-a-deal-with-china">predicted rather accurately</a> that Trump would cave to China, Powell, the markets, and the deficit, and that the second Trump administration would be in no way different from the first one.

Craig Shapiro Sees 'Market Kryptonite' In Delayed Fed Liquidity, Dot Plot Reversal Ahead—As China Trade Risks Recede

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) are now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45165898/alibaba-accelerates-taobao-instant-commerce-launch-heats-up-rivalry-with-jd-com-meituan">competing fiercely in instant retail</a>, where items are supposedly delivered within 30 to 60 minutes.&nbsp;
What Happened: Facing slowing growth and squeezed consumer budgets, Alibaba's Ele.me and JD.com's JD Takeaway each pledged ¥10 billion ($1.38 billion) in subsidies to lure customers with ultra-fast deliveries last month, reported Reuters.&nbsp;
On JD Takeaway, daily discounts of up to ¥20 ($2.77) on restaurant orders have become common. The report cited a 24-year-old entrepreneur in Tianjin, who happily paid only ¥5.90 for a coconut latte.
"I asked the deliveryman and he said he makes ¥4 per delivery, so essentially, JD.com bought me a cup of coffee and delivered it to my door," Liu Qi said.

A few days later, Liu purchased a bubble tea via Alibaba-owned Taobao's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45105930/alibaba-instant-commerce-delivery">instant portal for</a> just ¥3.90, ¥2 cheaper than JD.com's offer.
"The competition is so intense, there's not a lot of incremental growth opportunities, so everybody is moving into everybody else's territories and instant retail is the latest example of that," said Jason Yu, general manager at CTR Market Research.
China's leading food delivery company, Meituan (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPNGY#OTC">MPNGY</a>), has taken steps to expand its operations by scaling up its instant shopping service, which offers delivery of non-food items in under 30 minutes. JD.com made its debut in the food delivery sector in February.
Why It's Important: As per the report, China's e-commerce giants can double down on instant retail despite their low profit margins, thanks to their deep cash reserves and existing delivery networks.
As of Dec. 31, Alibaba, JD.com, and Meituan held net cash positions of&nbsp; ¥400 billion,&nbsp; ¥144 billion, and ¥110 billion, respectively, the report noted, citing Morningstar analysts.
These companies are also strategically using high-frequency purchases like food and drinks to drive sales of higher-margin goods such as electronics and clothing.
The U.S. and China on Monday agreed to dramatically <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">reduce retaliatory tariffs</a>, marking a pause in the escalating trade war that had posed serious risks to global economic growth.
Price Action: On Monday, shares of JD.com rose by 6.47%, while Alibaba gained 5.76%. In after-hours trading, JD.com saw an additional increase of 1.14%, and Alibaba edged up by 0.68%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Alibaba And JD.com Are Literally Paying The Price As China Delivery Wars Heat Up

What Happened: On Monday, Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers shared highlights on his X account from his appearance on CNN's &#8220;The Arena,&#8221; where he discussed the Trump administration's move to back off from its &#8220;extremely punitive&#8221; tariff regime against China.
Summers highlighted a pattern he's observed since &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; noting that &#8220;whenever the commitment to the Liberation Day policies increases, markets go down. Whenever there&#8217;s signs of backing off, markets go up.&#8221; He says, &#8220;Today was a day of backing off, and so markets went up.&#8221;

He says it is &#8220;very clear&#8221; that it was President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;who &#8220;blinked,&#8221; since &#8220;China didn't make any consequential or significant change in its policies.&#8221;

The market got a signal, probably a valid signal, that the Trump Administration was backing off its extremely punitive to the U.S. economy, tariff regime against China. We&#39;ve seen a pretty clear pattern since…

&#8220;Sometimes it's good to blink,&#8221; Summers says, framing Trump&#8217;s reversal in a positive note. &#8220;When you make a mistake, it's usually best to correct it and retreat, even if it's a little bit embarrassing,&#8221; he says, while applauding Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for his leadership during this period.
Speaking on the risks of a recession, Summers says that he is &#8220;encouraged&#8221; by the administration being less committed to its &#8220;disastrous policies,&#8221; as he had feared in the past. He now sees U.S. recession odds at &#8220;a little bit on the south side of 50/50.&#8221;

Trump 'Blinked' On China Tariffs, Says Ex-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers — 'Sometimes It's Good To Blink,' As Markets Breathe A Sigh of Relief

U.S. stock markets experienced a robust rally today, with the Nasdaq surging over 4% and the S&amp;P 500 climbing by 3.26%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also saw a significant rise of 2.8%.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day:
Coinbase Global Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>)

The surge followed news that Coinbase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45365186/coinbase-stock-jumps-nearly-11-after-hours-monday-heres-why">will join the S&amp;P 500</a>, replacing Discover Financial Services.

The rise was driven by a temporary agreement between&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45352452/why-are-nvidia-and-other-chip-stocks-trading-higher-on-monday">Beijing and Washington</a>&nbsp;to reduce tariffs on each other&#8217;s products, benefiting semiconductor stocks.

The increase followed news of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45357593/tesla-stock-is-climbing-monday-whats-going-on">trade agreement</a> between the U.S. and China to temporarily reduce tariffs on each other&#8217;s goods.

Cathie Wood Makes Bullish Move On Baidu: Ark Adds 30K+ Shares Amid China-US Trade Thaw

Using a Roth IRA to buy a car might sound like a smart move if it means avoiding debt. But financial expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45306698/will-i-have-more-money-in-the-long-run-by-taking-out-student-loans-instead-of-paying-cash-suze-orman-weighs-in">Suze Orman</a> says it's one of the worst things you could do with your retirement savings — and she didn't hold back when a podcast listener asked about it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Listener&#8217;s Dilemma</h2>
On a recent episode of her "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-what-is-stagflation">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, Orman responded to a listener named Sarah, who asked if she should tap her Roth IRA to buy a new car.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
Sarah had been driving her 2003 Honda Accord for nearly two decades and had finally decided it was time for an upgrade. She was approved for a $25,000 car loan with a 5.95% interest rate but wondered if she should skip the loan and take money from her Roth IRA instead — penalty-free — using only her principal contributions.
Her financial adviser said she could withdraw the funds without a penalty since the account had been open for at least five years and she was only taking out contributions. Sarah is 47 years old and earns around $90,000 a year. She has about $400,000 in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45256709/approaching-retirement-suze-ormans-2025-plan-for-safe-high-earning-cash">retirement savings</a>, $13,000 in cash, and contributes regularly to her savings and retirement accounts.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Suze&#8217;s Strong Rebuttal</h2>
Orman didn't mince words. "That is the worst financial advice I've ever heard in my life," she said, calling out the adviser's misunderstanding of Roth IRA withdrawal rules.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
She clarified that while it's true Roth IRA contributions – not earnings – can be withdrawn at any time without taxes or penalties, the five-year rule does not apply to original contributions. That part of the adviser's advice, she said, was flat-out wrong.
But more importantly, Orman emphasized the long-term cost of pulling from retirement to pay for a car. "If you were to have left that $25,000 in there at just a mere 8% annual average rate of return for 25 years…you're looking at $171,000 tax-free," she explained. "That's what your financial adviser is telling you that you should spend on this car."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Better Way to Pay</h2>
Instead of touching the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44476776/this-53-year-old-is-losing-money-on-her-250k-roth-ira-suze-orman-says-do-this">Roth IRA</a>, Orman recommended taking the auto loan. She noted that if Sarah financed the $25,000 over three years at 5.95%, her monthly payment would be around $760, with a total interest cost of about $2,300. In her view, that was a far better option than sacrificing decades of compound growth in a tax-free retirement account.
Orman also pointed out that Sarah's $13,000 in liquid savings should remain untouched as an emergency fund — not used for a car down payment or extra loan payments.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bigger Lesson: Be Careful Who You Trust</h2>
The moment served as a cautionary tale not just about Roth IRAs, but about relying too heavily on advice that might not be well-informed.
"You go and ask experts what you should do with your hard-earned money," Orman said. "You trust them."
Her final suggestion? If your financial adviser recommends using your Roth IRA to buy a car — it might be time to find a new one.

Would You Buy A Car With Your Roth IRA? Suze Orman Calls It 'The Worst Financial Advice I've Ever Heard'

In a 2014 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, comedian Andy Samberg revealed that Mark Zuckerberg not only persuaded him to join Facebook, now a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), but also personally set up his account and remained his only friend on the platform.
What Happened: Samberg recalled the unusual story when Fallon asked if he was on Facebook. "Well, do we have time for a funny story?" he replied. "I am actually on Facebook, but I only have one friend. It's a private account and I have one friend."
When Fallon asked who it was, Samberg answered, "Mark Zuckerberg."
Samberg said the two had become friendly after Zuckerberg appeared on Saturday Night Live and later invited Samberg to visit Facebook's offices. During their visit, Zuckerberg was shocked to learn Samberg didn't use Facebook.

"I said, ‘If you set up my account and you're my only friend, so I can tell this on a talk show&#8230;' and he agreed," Samberg said.
But things didn't go exactly as planned. The "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor began receiving emails and friend requests from Zuckerberg's contacts. "I texted him and was like, ‘Hey man, I hate to do this to you, head of Facebook, but I think I need some tech support here.'"
Zuckerberg responded like any good friend would. "He was so cool about it. He was like, ‘Go into your settings …&#8217;" Samberg said. "Of course, it totally worked."
