WisdomTree, an international asset manager, has grown its portfolio with the introduction of two new municipal bond ETFs: the WisdomTree Core Laddered Municipal Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTMU#NASDAQ">WTMU</a>) and the WisdomTree High Income Laddered Municipal Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTMY#NASDAQ">WTMY</a>). These <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">funds are designed to offer</a> investors tax-efficient income and diversification advantages.​
These funds are <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250403281335/en/WisdomTree-Launches-Core-Laddered-and-High-Income-Laddered-Municipal-ETFs">currently </a>trading at expense ratios of 0.25% and 0.35%, respectively.

In today&#8217;s changing fixed-income environment, investors are increasingly looking for stability and income. Municipal bonds provide high credit quality, lower default rates compared to corporate bonds, and strength in rising-rate environments, which makes them an attractive option.
WTMU has a laddered maturity strategy of investing in municipal debt securities and can invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The fund seeks an average duration of between four and eight years, targeting securities that should mature or become callable within 15 years.
The ETF seeks current income that is tax-exempt at the federal level.
WTMY has a similar laddered strategy but aims to maximize income and yield by delivering a high current income that is free from federal income taxes. It has a targeted mix of high-yield municipal securities and investment-grade municipals. The fund aims for an average duration of five to ten years, focusing on securities likely to mature or be callable within 15 years.
The rollouts follow the increasing popularity of municipal bond funds. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/03/44384618/new-ishares-muni-bond-etf-lmub-hits-nyse-as-demand-surges">BlackRock rolled out</a> the iShares Long-Term National Muni Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMUB#NYSE">LMUB</a>) in March with an expense ratio of 0.09% to provide investors with investment-grade U.S. municipal bonds with maturities of 12 years or more. 
Municipal bonds are becoming increasingly popular as a result of their potential tax benefits and relatively strong credit quality versus corporate bonds. They can also offer diversification benefits and potentially have defensive properties in a rising interest rate environment.

Sangamo Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SGMO#NASDAQ">SGMO</a>) shares are surging in Thursday&#8217;s after-hours session after the company announced a new agreement with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44635260/sangamo-therapeutics-announces-capsid-license-agreement-with-lilly-to-deliver-genomic-medicines-fo">pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>)</a>.
What Happened: Sangamo Therapeutics entered into a license agreement with Eli Lilly, granting the company a worldwide exclusive license to leverage the company&#8217;s novel proprietary neurotropic adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid, STAC-BBB.
Sangamo noted that STAC-BBB has demonstrated potent blood-brain barrier penetration and neuronal transduction in nonhuman primates.
The genomic medicine company said the license allows Eli Lilly to utilize the STAC-BBB capsid for one initial target. Eli Lilly has the right to add up to four additional targets, but will be required to pay additional license fees.
Sangamo will receive an upfront payment of $18 million and is eligible to earn up to $1.4 billion in additional license fees and milestone payments.
&#8220;We believe STAC-BBB, our industry-leading intravenously delivered AAV capsid, has the potential to play an important role in the treatment landscape by addressing longstanding challenges associated with delivering therapies to the central nervous system,&#8221; said Sandy Macrae, CEO of Sangamo.
&#8220;We are pleased to be sharing STAC-BBB with Lilly to advance potential treatments for neurological diseases with significant unmet medical needs. This marks the third agreement with a pharmaceutical company since we announced the discovery of STAC-BBB in March 2024 and demonstrates the continued industry interest in our capsid delivery technology.&#8221;
Sangamo will be responsible for completing a technology transfer related to the STAC-BBB capsid. Lilly will be responsible for all research, preclinical and clinical development, regulatory interactions, manufacturing and global commercialization of any resulting gene therapy products.
SGMO Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/sgmo">Sangamo shares</a> were up 26.13% after hours, trading at 78 cents at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Sangamo Therapeutics Stock Surges After The Bell: What's Going On?

JPMorgan Research has upgraded its outlook for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">European mining equities</a>, shifting more positive in February and then upgrading the outlook to Overweight in March. The research team cited a pattern of the sector outperforming through economic turbulences, believing a historical pattern could repeat.
Yet analysts acknowledge that the prediction hinges on the timing of China&#8217;s policy response—an important factor since its economy accounts for over 50% of global demand for most industrial metals. JPMorgan forecasts the reaction will focus on fiscal and monetary easing rather than property sector stimulus.
Owing to U.S. tariff policies, the bank now sees a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44608617/jp-morgan-hikes-us-recession-odds-to-40-tariffs-create-a-dilemma-for-the-fed">40% chance of a domestic recession</a> this year, and China's GDP slowdown to 3% in Q2, down from 6.6% in Q1.&nbsp; With reciprocal tariffs, the effective rate on Chinese goods has now jumped to 54%, close to the bank's base case scenario of 60%.
Analysts have pointed out that European miners face limited direct exposure, although Rio Tinto's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>) Canadian aluminum operations are affected. Still, the sector's upside depends on copper price stability. A sustained copper rally could present a multi-year entry point, but downside risks include demand destruction from a global recession and a weaker Chinese yuan, which historically correlates with lower metal prices.
The bank highlights Antofagasta (OTCPK: ANFGF) as its Overweight pick, citing its 15–30% volume growth through 2027–28 and attractive valuation as its Centinela expansion ramps up. It also favors Lundin Mining (OTCPK: LUNMF), arguing it trades at a discount, close to 5X EV/EBITDA, compared to peers, which trade at 9-10X. Furthermore, it faces reduced governance risks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/40031488/bhp-to-unlock-south-american-copper-riches-partners-with-lundin-for-filo-acquisition">following Vicuña transactions</a>. Regarding the sector leaders, they're Overweight Rio Tinto (citing inexpensive valuation and high copper upside) and Neutral on Anglo American and BHP.
On the downside, the bank is Underweight Boliden, pointing to lower treatment and refining charges, exposure to zinc, and integration challenges after acquiring Lundin's two European mines for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42385859/lundin-exits-europe-for-15-billion-turns-focus-to-south-america">$1.5 billion last year</a>.
The bank remains bullish on EMEA gold miners, projecting a 30% rise in gold prices to ~$4,000/oz amid geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. The top pick is Fresnillo (OTCPK: FNLPF), which it sees benefiting from potential Mexican peso weakness.
European steel equities are less favored due to direct tariff exposure, particularly in auto-dependent firms like ThyssenKrupp and Voestalpine (~30–40% revenue exposure). Furthermore, the bank sees ArcelorMittal facing $400 million in annual EBITDA headwinds from tariffs, but clarifies that SSAB stands out with 45% of EBITDA from the U.S. infrastructure and defense sectors, insulating it from broader tariff risks.

JPMorgan Turns Bullish On European Miners, Sees Copper Rally As Key Catalyst

When volatility spikes, as it did yesterday following the reveal of the President&#8217;s new import taxes, &#8220;tape bombs&#8221; appear everywhere. As a trader and long term investor, when that happens I zoom out in the charts.
There are times in the markets where risk becomes more outsized, and this is one of those times. Size down, slow down becomes my mantra. Capital preservation becomes key.
There are option trades that let you do just that – preserve capital, wait out the churn, while still making some options income.
Here&#8217;s how to ignore the market chaos and position yourself for profits.
We&#8217;re going to target ONEOK Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>) today, with a long call butterfly. This kind of option trade is the combination of a long call spread, and a short call spread that share the same short strike and the same expiration date.
We&#8217;re positioning the option trade well into the future (using a bullish position that gives us time to wait out the sideways churn ahead), which is why it&#8217;s termed a &#8220;leap&#8221; trade.
OKE&#8217;s relative resistance zone sits right around $120, but trading could be choppy for many months with market uncertainty. Set an alert for prices near this middle strike so that you are very aware of the motion into the middle strike as this is where the maximum profit will engage into expiration. You will also notice that price action is less sensitive to fluctuation the further we are from expiration. OKE&#8217;s support sits near $88.
The beauty of a leap butterfly is that time decay becomes largely irrelevant, so we can wait out the noisy bits in the market as we recover. Here&#8217;s the trade, positioned for upside:
<ul>
<li>Buy to open 1 OKE 18 Jun 2025 105 calls </li>
<li>Sell to open 2 OKE 18 Jun 2025 120 calls </li>
<li>Buy to open 1 OKE 18 Jun 2025 135 calls </li>
</ul>
The long call butterfly holds a current debit of $2.38 at this writing and that represents the total risk incurred in the trade. The breakeven price of the stock at expiration on this trade is $107.38 + commissions.
The total highest potential profit is $15 (the distance between 105 and 120) less the cost of the debit incurred by buying the call butterfly: $15 minus $2.38 = $12.62 less commissions.&nbsp;
It is extremely rare to collect all this premium in this kind of butterfly. Instead, I like to consider 40%-90% profit of the longer-term investment. Also keep in mind that these leaps have favorable tax implications.
This strategy provides for several ways to exit, but these are the two main ones:
<ol>
<li>To sell the call butterfly when the profit goal moves into your target parameters-particularly once the middle strike is tested near the expiration time. I often look for 40%-90% return for these types of call butterflies with strikes deep in the money. </li>
<li>To sell the call butterfly when your loss threshold is breached. Customarily, this is 50% for me. </li>
</ol>
Remember to size down as markets fluctuate – it is more important to focus more on what we can lose than on what we can make.

How To Get Safe Income During This Crash

Highlights Plan to Improve Performance, Strengthen Accountability and Increase Shareholder Value
Identifies Slate of Four Highly Qualified Independent Director Candidates with Decades of Experience in Refining, Midstream Operations and Corporate Governance&nbsp;
More Information at <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4398557-1&amp;h=3336979746&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.streamline66.com%2F&amp;a=Streamline66.com">Streamline66.com</a>
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elliott Investment Management L.P. ("Elliott"), which manages funds that together have an investment of more than $2.5 billion in Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) (the "Company" or "Phillips"), today sent a letter to the Company's shareholders highlighting why change is urgently needed on the Phillips Board of Directors (the "Board"). In the letter, Elliott made the case that Phillips investors' patience has been punished, and a new lineup on the Board is necessary to reverse the Company's long-term underperformance and improve its poor corporate governance practices. Elliott also filed definitive proxy materials in connection with Phillips' Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), which is currently scheduled for May 21, 2025.
<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2657884/Elliott_Letter_to_Phillips_66_Shareholders.pdf?p=original"><img src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2657884/Elliott_Letter_to_Phillips_66_Shareholders.pdf?p=pdfthumbnail" alt="Letter to Phillips 66 Shareholders" /></a>
In its materials, Elliott detailed the degree to which Phillips' operating performance has consistently trailed its industry peers. Notably, over the past decade, Phillips shares have underperformed Valero Energy and Marathon Petroleum, by -138% and -188%, respectively.
In addition, Elliott discussed why its three-part "Streamline 66" plan – which Elliott believes has the potential to increase Phillips' stock price to more than $200 per share – would be the best path forward. The plan includes a simplification of Phillips' portfolio, a thorough review of its refinery operations and enhanced oversight of management at the Board level.
Elliott also disclosed its four highly qualified director nominees, who would add urgently needed experience and valuable new perspectives to the Board:
<ul>
<li>Sigmund Cornelius&nbsp;served as CFO at the predecessor company of Phillips, ConocoPhillips, where he oversaw a substantial divestiture and simplification program that led to a material increase in shareholder value. He later served as President of Freeport LNG Development, as well as a director at Andeavor and Western Refining. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Michael&nbsp;Heim&nbsp;has a long record of leadership in the industry as a founder of Targa Resources, one of the most successful Permian-focused midstream operators, and as a member of multiple boards and a respected consultant. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Brian&nbsp;Coffman&nbsp;is a seasoned operator who spent much of his career running Phillips' current refining assets while they were part of ConocoPhillips. After three decades at ConocoPhillips, he became the executive in charge of refining for Andeavor, leading the operations of ten refineries throughout the United States, as well as the President and CEO of Motiva, one of North America's largest refiners. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Stacy&nbsp;Nieuwoudt&nbsp;would bring an investor's eye to Phillips' challenges, having spent her career as a senior energy and industrials analyst at Citadel. She has also served on the boards of multiple publicly traded energy companies.</li>

Allurion Postpones Special Meeting Of Stockholders From April 4, 2025 To April 10, 2025

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci probably <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44608167/liberation-day-is-liquidation-day-says-anthony-scaramucci-heres-how-it-could-hit-your-wallet">said it the best</a>: "Liberation Day is Liquidation Day." Describing the sweeping wave of new tariffs announced on Wednesday by President Donald Trump, the reciprocal levies are designed to help American workers and revive U.S. manufacturing. 
Unfortunately, the move is creating a ripple effect on pricing implications, badly hurting technology specialists, including integrated circuits manufacturer Tower Semiconductor Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSEM#NASDAQ">TSEM</a>).
At first glance, Tower doesn't particularly stand out as a tariff-vulnerable candidate. Although based in Israel, the U.S. has a close relationship with the country. According to the New York Times, the two allies have had a free-trade <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/us/politics/israel-tariffs-us-imports-trump.html#:~:text=Israel%20and%20the%20United%20States%2C%20two%20close%20allies%2C%20have%20had,American%20products%20from%20Israeli%20tariffs.">agreement</a> since 1985. However, the core issue centers on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44613907/tariff-shock-incoming-as-trump-prepares-sweeping-trade-duties-what-traders-need-to-know">stability of the global supply chain</a>.
Modern businesses — especially within the advanced semiconductor industry — require specialized parts and materials that are secured months in advance. Further, the research and development of advanced components can take years, requiring significant investments and partnerships across multiple entities. Plus, with so much of the tech ecosystem dependent on Asia, Trump's tariffs darken forward visibility.
More broadly, TSEM stock is also struggling from competitive threats. Earlier this year, China's DeepSeek rattled the tech sector, delivering an artificial intelligence model that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43259545/deepseeks-r1-is-impressive-but-openai-ceo-sam-altman-says-they-will-crush-it-with-much-better-models-looking-forward-to-bringing-you-all-agi-and-beyond">compete with western counterparts at a much lower cost</a>. Such efficiencies potentially impinge upon Tower's business due to less demand for high-performance chips or even a potential realignment of supply chains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TSEM Stock Enjoys Credibility as a Bounce-Back Prospect</h2>
Although the environment for TSEM stock appears incredibly dour, students of market history will look on the red ink with anticipation, not dread. More often than not, the ominous clouds have represented an opportunity to acquire shares.
First, Benchmark analyst Cody Acree stated that TSEM stock was one of the names to pick up following January's DeepSeek-inspired rout. The expert noted the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43285482/tower-semiconductor-analyst-sees-attractive-buying-opportunity-following-deepseek-selloff">resilience and growth potential</a>, specifically highlighting its leadership in radio frequency (RF) infrastructure technologies. This innovation is especially critical to applications involving the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Tower's key specialty. Second, while TSEM stock printed the dreaded death cross earlier this week, this technical pattern — where the 50-day moving average slips below the 200 DMA — has historically served as a contrarian indicator. Between August 2015 and October 2022, there have been seven death crosses, with five of the incidences (or 71.4%) resolving to the upside one month later.
To be sure, the sample size is very small, so the implication needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, it's remarkable that even one year removed from the death cross flashing, the contrarian success ratio of 71.4% still stands.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/03151257/TSEM-stock-probabibility-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-856351" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/03151257/TSEM-stock-probabibility-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/03151257/TSEM-stock-probabibility-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/03151257/TSEM-stock-probabibility-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/03151257/TSEM-stock-probabibility-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Third, TSEM stock is currently down more than 11% over the trailing five sessions. Such extreme volatility is rare. Looking back over the past six years, there have only been four weeks where TSEM lost double-digit percentage points. By the fourth week following such an intense downside, the security has swung up three times, suggesting that investors recognize the deep value play.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rolling the Dice on Tower Semiconductor</h2>
For those that want to go for the immediate gratification route, the nearest expiration date for TSEM stock options is April 17. Here, the 30/35 bull call spread would arguably be the most aggressive trade that has a realistic chance of being successful.
The above transaction involves buying the $30 call (at a time-of-writing ask) of $330 and simultaneously selling the $35 call (at a bid of $45), resulting in a net cash outlay of $285. Should TSEM stock hit or exceed the short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward is the difference between the strike prices (multiplied by 100 shares) minus the cash outlay or $215. This translates to a payout of 75.44%.
For speculators who want to play the death cross, they may consider buying the 35/37 bull spread for the options chain expiring May 16. This options chain provides more time for the market to bake in the negativity before hopefully rising. In the ensuing bounce back, strong double-digit-percentage moves are not unusual; hence, the ambitious but realistic $37 target.
Those who want to roll the dice on the above trade will need to spend $65. On the plus side, if TSEM stock cooperates, the maximum reward is $135 or a payout of nearly 208%.

But does that mean human creatives are on the way out? Not according to billionaire investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43084861/mark-cubans-29-million-shark-tank-portfolio-from-200k-in-dude-wipes-to-200m-for-beatbox-beverages-im-killing-it">Mark Cuban</a>.
Cuban, known for his bold takes on business and technology, recently addressed AI's role in entertainment on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUwmA0lOWwM">"Your Mom's House" </a>podcast.&nbsp;
"AI can propose a million things in a second, but then somebody&#8217;s got to go through and decide what they&#8217;re going to put their money into,&#8221; he said. His take? AI is just a tool, not the mastermind behind Hollywood's next big hit.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The AI Takeover Fear Is Real</h2>
Not everyone shares Cuban's confidence. The 2023 Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes were fueled by fears that AI could replace screenwriters and performers altogether.&nbsp;
Over 11,000 writers, represented by the Writers Guild of America, walked off the job to demand stronger protections against AI-generated scripts. SAG-AFTRA joined the fight, pushing for safeguards as AI technology advanced at a breakneck pace.
The fear isn't unfounded. A study by the <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/generative-ai-the-american-worker-and-the-future-of-work/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Brookings Institution</a> found that AI is already disrupting industries that rely on dynamic information processing, including creative fields like writing and software development.&nbsp;
According to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0ac1fe79-4c2a-4030-8046-061293ba1127?accessToken=zwAGEWkI51bokc8Kwf55TCpAMNOARgYSk7oRJw.MEQCIG5-PQaa6iGLaikfBFtPehc-hzozRviMYt85T9M7DDvLAiBgfIMjMZBGPCW26esEtNmB134EiMbOs6AoNHkJ5hEGRQ&amp;sharetype=gift&amp;token=de99c9c8-c493-4cf6-842f-2b54a83b2bbf&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com">Financial Times</a>, AI-driven content creation tools have already replaced some entry-level creative roles.
Hollywood has seen attempts to use technology to predict blockbusters before—usually with mixed results. Studios have long relied on data analytics to determine which scripts and actors will generate the biggest returns.&nbsp;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
But Cuban isn't convinced AI will crack the code. &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen companies that use analytics to determine what a studio or label should release, fail time after time,&#8221; he said<a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/entertainment/mark-cuban-says-ai-cant-completely-automate-the-creative-process/1f43wt7">.</a> &#8220;That&#8217;s the same as using AI to replace everyone. It may be a novelty. But it won&#8217;t work.&#8221;
This isn't the first time a new technology has threatened to upend the entertainment world. In the early 2000s, digital music-sharing platforms like Napster disrupted the music industry, sending record labels into a panic.&nbsp;
But rather than kill the industry, it paved the way for streaming services like Spotify (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), which now dominate the market.
The invention of photography in the 19th century sparked fears that traditional painting would become obsolete. Instead, artists adapted, leading to new movements like Impressionism and modern art.

Cuban believes the same evolution will happen with AI. &#8220;It's part of the natural progression from drawing to CGI and now text to video, with new tools coming to take it even further." Cuban isn't against AI—far from it.&nbsp;
He sees it as a way for top creatives to refine their work and make their process more efficient. &#8220;Veteran creatives who are able to harness the power of AI to improve their own output will continue to see major dividends,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;
AI, he argues, will help top-tier talent become even better by accelerating storyboarding, testing, and production.
Still, Cuban is clear: AI lacks the gut instinct that makes creative work resonate with audiences. "There is a reason why some people have hit after hit&#8230; They have a feel for what the audience wants at that point in time," he said.
