President Donald Trump declared a national emergency to unveil his list of reciprocal tariffs on some of America&#8217;s biggest trade partners.
This act by the White House marks the biggest upheaval in global trade in decades, which Trump claims is being done to &#8216;strengthen the international economic position of the United States&#8217; and &#8216;protect American workers.&#8217; 
What Happened: On Wednesday, Trump invoked his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to declare a state of emergency and enact reciprocal tariffs to address &#8216;the large and persistent trade deficit&#8217; experienced by the United States.
A <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-national-emergency-to-increase-our-competitive-edge-protect-our-sovereignty-and-strengthen-our-national-and-economic-security/">White House &#8216;Fact Sheet&#8217;</a> accompanying the President&#8217;s announcement lays out the list of tariffs imposed on imports into the U.S. and the countries that are being subjected to them, as Trump emphasizes the golden rule of trade: &#8216;Treat us like we treat you.&#8217;
Here&#8217;s a complete rundown of what the fact sheet entails, with a spotlight on key points and what they each mean for the U.S., as well as the global economy.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620686/sp-500-nasdaq-futures-plunge-over-3-as-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-plan-hits-market-confidence">Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Reciprocal Tariff&#8217; Plan Hits Market Confidence As Dow Futures Drops Over 830 Points</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Address Trade Deficit &amp; Unfair Practices</h3>
The fact sheet states that the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/us-trade-import-export-deficit-charts-490a7bce">United States suffered a $1.2 trillion trade deficit in 2024</a>, which was largely &#8216;ignored by prior leadership.&#8217; Going on to state that such persistently high deficit levels year after year are an unsustainable crisis and need to be addressed.
The <a href="https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/us-trade-deficit-by-country">countries that drive this deficit</a> include China at $270 billion, and Mexico at $160 billion, followed by Vietnam, Ireland, and Germany at $110 billion, $80 billion, and $76 billion, respectively.
It holds the pernicious economic policies and unfair trade practices of its largest partners responsible for this, highlighting the tariffs charged by countries such as India and Turkey, going as high as 60% on Apples, 70% on passenger car imports, and 80% on rice husks.
The White House says American companies are charged nearly $200 billion in value-added taxes each year by other countries, while the U.S. itself taxes little to nothing, with tariffs mostly ranging from 2.5% to 3.3%.
It further sheds light on several non-tariff barriers that leave U.S.-based companies at a disadvantage, such as Brazil and Vietnam&#8217;s restrictions on remanufactured goods.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Hollowed Out Manufacturing Base &amp; Reshoring</h3>
The fact sheet holds the country&#8217;s long-standing free-for-all trade policy responsible for the erosion of its manufacturing base. It highlights the fact that American manufacturing as a share of global output stood at 28.4% in 2001 but now stands at 17.4%.
In addition to the millions of jobs lost to this shift over the decades, the administration believes that it has left U.S. supply chains vulnerable to global shocks.
The new trade policy emphasizes the importance of reshoring manufacturing, especially in critical sectors such as defense, batteries, microelectronics, and bio-manufacturing.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Blanket Import Tariffs, Reciprocal Tariffs &amp; Exemptions</h3>
To address these challenges and more, the President used his IEEPA authority to impose a blanket 10% tariff on all goods imported into the U.S. from across the world. This is set to go into effect starting from the 5th of April 2025.
Besides this, several reciprocal tariffs are being imposed on countries with which the United States has the highest trade deficit, which is in addition to the 10% baseline. The reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect on the 9th of April 2025. For Canada and Mexico, the existing IEEPA order around fentanyl and immigration remains in effect and is unchanged.
The fact sheet outlines several products exempted from these tariffs, such as copper, pharmaceuticals, and lumber articles, alongside bullion, energy, and minerals unavailable in the United States. Steel, aluminum, auto, and auto parts are exempted, as they are part of a separate tariff order that remains in force.
Here&#8217;s the full list of reciprocal tariffs being imposed on America&#8217;s largest trading partners,

What It Means: The tariffs do have broad implications on the U.S. and global markets, and in addition to a rout in global equity markets, analysts expect it to fuel inflation, while further increasing the risks of a recession. 
America&#8217;s trading partners are expected to respond with countermeasures, which could altogether plunge the global economy into a recession.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Trade With The United States: A &#8216;Privilege&#8217;</h3>
The President unequivocally states &#8216;Access to the American market is a privilege, not a right&#8217; and that the United States will no longer &#8216;put itself last on matters of international trade.&#8217;
According to analysts, however, this move is not without its downsides, as clamping down on the U.S. market privileges of other countries could hurt America&#8217;s biggest privilege of all, &#8216;<a href="https://thespectator.com/topic/could-trump-tariffs-damage-the-us-dollar/">The Dollar Privilege</a>&#8216;. Something that allowed it to run massive deficits and wield unprecedented geopolitical power over the decades.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Global Recession Risk</h3>
Early last month, JP Morgan Research suggested that the risk of a global recession taking hold this year was at 40%, up from 30% at the start of 2025. The analysis laid the blame squarely on the ongoing tariff war and the uncertainties surrounding the same, resulting in negative sentiments.
Now with the tariffs in place, analysts at JP Morgan are all but certain that &#8220;these policies, if sustained, would likely push the U.S. and global economy into recession this year.&#8221;
They further add that this is essentially <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/tariffs-trump-news-04-02-25#cm90qyswp001x3b6nd1mkndo5">a $660 billion tax on American consumers</a>, &#8216;the largest tax increase in recent memory by a longshot.&#8217;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Countermeasures By Trading Partners</h3>
Major U.S. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44620889/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-roil-markets-as-china-slams-typical-unilateral-bullying-asian-markets-plunge">trade partners have begun responding to the tariffs</a>, starting with a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson calling it &#8216;typical unilateral bullying&#8217; before urging the U.S. to &#8216;immediately cancel its unilateral tariff measures.&#8217;
Meanwhile, Europe joined in on condemning the tariffs, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni calling the 20% tariffs imposed on the European Union &#8216;wrong,&#8217; followed by the Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who referred to this decision as &#8216;Extremely Unsettling.&#8217;
The Indian Commerce Ministry said that it was still analyzing the impact of the 26% reciprocal tariff, with a senior official quoted as saying &#8216;a mixed bag and not a setback for India.&#8217; The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, on the other hand, vowed to &#8216;act with purpose and with force.&#8217;

Trump Unveils Massive Tariff Plan to Slash $1.2 Trillion Trade Deficit: 'Access To The American Market Is A Privilege'

New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu defended his position on Wednesday that negative publicity surrounding CEO Elon Musk won&#8217;t harm Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the medium term.
What Happened: &#8220;Many question our view that &#8216;bad press&#8217; related to Elon will not have a lasting influence on Tesla sales,&#8221; Ferragu wrote on X. &#8220;Elon&#8217;s antics are very unlikely to damage the brand medium term (and they definitely help awareness!!).&#8221;
The analyst shared data showing significant drops in Tesla&#8217;s brand perception during 2022, including a 21-point decline in March and a 17-point drop in November, coinciding with Musk&#8217;s Twitter acquisition. Despite these metrics, Tesla&#8217;s quarterly deliveries grew steadily from 185,000 in the first quarter of 2021 to 485,000 by the fourth quarter of 2023.
Ferragu&#8217;s optimistic assessment comes amid recent challenges for the automaker. Tesla reported approximately 337,000 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2025, falling short of analyst expectations across all major markets. The disappointing results sent shares tumbling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44612478/musk-needs-to-navigate-brand-crisis-or-else-warns-analyst-tesla-delivery-number-was-a-disaster-for-the-bulls">before recovering Wednesday</a>.

Why It Matters: Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called the figures &#8220;a disaster for the bulls&#8221; while maintaining an Outperform rating with a $550 price target. &#8220;The more political he gets with DOGE, the more the brand suffers, there is no debate,&#8221; Ives said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44612478/musk-needs-to-navigate-brand-crisis-or-else-warns-analyst-tesla-delivery-number-was-a-disaster-for-the-bulls">referring to Musk&#8217;s role</a> in the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration.
Tesla stock rebounded over 5% in regular session on Wednesday following a Politico report suggesting Musk might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44617674/tesla-closes-in-green-dips-after-hours-as-musk-denies-ouster-from-trump-administration">step back from his government position in the coming weeks</a>. Musk dismissed the report as &#8220;fake news&#8221; on X, after which shares dipped 8.01% in after-hours trading.
The company&#8217;s stock has fallen as much as 33% since Trump&#8217;s January inauguration, with analysts attributing some decline to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44617674/tesla-closes-in-green-dips-after-hours-as-musk-denies-ouster-from-trump-administration">Musk&#8217;s political activities</a>, including his reported $20 million investment to defeat a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate and endorsements of far-right parties in Europe.
Price Action: Tesla closed at $282.76 on Wednesday, gaining 5.33% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock declined 8.01% to $260.12.

Tesla Brand Won't Suffer From Elon Musk's 'Antics,' Says Analyst Despite Delivery Miss, 8% Stock Drop In After-Hours Trading

Gold prices hit a new all-time high Wednesday as investors sought refuge in the safe haven following President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariffs that sent risk-on markets falling.
What happened: Spot gold rose 0.46% to $3,148.93 per ounce as of this writing, down slightly from the peak of $3,167 recorded earlier in the day. Gold futures on the Commodity Exchange were up 0.15% to $3,171.&nbsp;
With the latest uptick, the yellow metal extended its year-to-date gains to 20%.
The rise also boosted physical gold-backed cryptocurrencies. Tether Gold and PAX Gold rose 1.02% in the last 24 hours and over 20% since 2025 began.
In fact, the two cryptocurrency derivatives of gold were among the five most successful coins this year, far outperforming heavyweights like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).

Chinese tech giants ByteDance, Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) have reportedly placed over $16 billion in orders for Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 server chips in the first quarter of 2025.
What Happened: ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent are collectively investing billions in Nvidia's H20 server chips, the most advanced AI processor legally available in China under <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44102063/china-strikes-back-at-trumps-tariffs-with-retaliatory-duties-us-company-sanctions-and-wto-showdown">U.S. export restrictions</a>, reported Reuters (<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/nvidia-faces-dilemma-chinese-firms-rush-order-16-billion-new-ai-chips">via</a> The Information).
The surge in orders comes after the rise of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup known for its affordable AI models that have contributed to the high demand for Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chips.

In January 2025, DeepSeek's AI marvel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-to-benefit">triggered a major selloff</a> in U.S. tech stocks, causing Nvidia's market value to plunge by $593 billion.
The H20 chips, which were launched after the latest round of U.S. export controls in October 2023, are critical for Chinese firms striving to advance their AI capabilities.

Why It Matters: Last month, reports indicated that Chinese companies were grappling with <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44519562/nvidia-faces-fresh-china-setback-as-chip-shortages-and-sanctions-disrupt-supply">chip shortages due to U.S. sanctions</a>. H3C, a key server manufacturer, highlighted the depletion of Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chip inventory, raising concerns about supply chain disruptions.
Chinese firms are exploring alternatives to reduce reliance on Nvidia. In March, Qingcheng.AI introduced &#8220;Chitu,&#8221; a framework designed to operate on Chinese-made chips, aiming for technological self-sufficiency.
Huawei Technologies has also been advancing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44488569/chinas-huawei-reportedly-doubles-ai-chip-yields-to-40-now-nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-that-the-chinese-tech-giant-is-the-most-formidable-competitor-despite-us-sanctions">its AI chip capabilities</a>, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang acknowledging the company's competitive edge.

ByteDance, Alibaba, And Tencent Order $16 Billion Worth Of Nvidia's H20 Chips As Demand Surges For DeepSeek's Low-Cost AI Models: Report

Popular dog-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) fell Wednesday after President Donald Trump's tariff shock, extending its weekly losses to over 16%.
What Happened: The world's largest meme reversed from the highs of  $0.1787 to the mid-$0.1600 region as the new reciprocal tariff structure exceeded Wall Street's worst-case expectations, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44620222/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-give-up-early-gains-on-trumps-tariff-liberation-day-analyst-flags-levels-where-buying-btc-could-result-in-substantial-gains">sending stocks and cryptocurrencies tumbling</a>.
DOGE has made a sharp U-turn since hitting $0.20 last week, losing more than 16% along the way. The price decline dampened speculative interest in the coin, causing the Open Interest in DOGE futures to fall 24% over the week, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest">according </a>to Coinglass.&nbsp;
Moreover, the Long/Short Ratio dipped below 1, indicating that the majority of traders were positioned bearish on the coin.

Polymarket Bettors Think It&#8217;s Unlikely</a>
Why It Matters: Well-known cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez stated that DOGE was at a "make-or-break level."
"If $0.16 holds, a rally to $0.57 could follow. If it fails, a drop to $0.06 becomes likely," the analyst projected.

Moving averages, both exponential and simple, flashed "Sell" signals for DOGE, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/DOGEUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of price, typically a 12-period EMA and a 26-period EMA, generated a "Buy" signal.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exchanging hands at $0.1658, down 3.30% 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>.

Dogecoin Dropped 16% In A Week, Time To Grab Some? Analyst Says Meme King At A 'Make-Or-Break' Level

Global markets reeled on Thursday after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new tariffs on imports. China immediately threatened countermeasures, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asian markets dropped</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive"> sharply on trade war fears</a>.
What Happened: Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">announced tariffs on all Chinese imports on Wednesday</a> as part of his &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; reset of American trade policy, calling Apr. 2 &#8220;the day American industry was reborn&#8221; and a &#8220;Declaration of Economic Independence.&#8221;
&#8220;China firmly opposes this and will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests,&#8221; a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson said on Thursday, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/tariffs-trump-news-04-02-25/index.html?t=1743651072096">according</a> to CNN. The spokesperson characterized the move as &#8220;typical unilateral bullying&#8221; and urged the U.S. to &#8220;immediately cancel its unilateral tariff measures.&#8221;
Asian markets tumbled in response, with Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 plunging 2.95% to 34,673.69. Hong Kong&#8217;s Hang Seng dropped 1.66% to 22,818.18, while South Korea&#8217;s KOSPI fell 1.04% to 2,479.80. Mainland China&#8217;s SSE Composite slid 0.51% to 3,333.10. India&#8217;s Nifty 50 declined 0.58% to 23,196.45.
The tariffs, which take effect Apr. 9, establish a &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; structure set at half the rate Trump claims trading partners impose on American goods. China faces duties of 34%, while Vietnam at 46%, and Sri Lanka at 44%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">face the steepest increases</a>.

Why It Matters: European leaders joined the chorus of criticism. Italy&#8217;s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, typically a Trump ally, called the 20% tariff rate imposed on the European Union &#8220;wrong,&#8221; while Ireland&#8217;s Taoiseach Micheál Martin deemed the decision &#8220;deeply regrettable,&#8221; according <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgql020y5lo">to</a> the BBC.
India&#8217;s commerce ministry is analyzing the impact of the 26% &#8220;discounted&#8221; reciprocal tariff, with a senior official calling it &#8220;a mixed bag and not a setback for India,&#8221; according <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/newsblogs/today-news-live-updates-trump-tariffs-parliament-waqf-bill-myanmar-earthquake-russia-ukraine-news-today-3-april-india-world-news/liveblog/119923704.cms?from=mdr">to</a> The Economic Times. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, according to Reuters, vowed to &#8220;act with purpose and with force&#8221; in response.
U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620686/sp-500-nasdaq-futures-plunge-over-3-as-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-plan-hits-market-confidence">futures markets plunged</a> following the announcement, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures erasing nearly 830 points. Economists warned of severe consequences, with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers estimating potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive">economic losses of up to $20 trillion</a>.

Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariffs Roil Markets As China Slams 'Typical Unilateral Bullying:' Asian Markets Plunge

Sentient, a San Francisco-based AI development lab backed by Peter Thiel's Founder&#8217;s Fund, has unveiled its open-source AI search framework, positioning its work as a response to China's DeepSeek.
What Happened: Sentient released its Open Deep Search (ODS) framework, stating that it outperforms major closed-source competitors like OpenAI's GPT-4o Search Preview and Perplexity Sonar Reasoning Pro, <a href="https://decrypt.co/312580/americas-deepseek-moment-peter-thiel-non-profit">reported</a> Decrypt.
The nonprofit lab argues that its open-source approach challenges the growing control of AI by closed-source corporations. Its ODS achieved a 75.3% accuracy on the FRAMES benchmark, the company said.

Coyote Tests</a>
Sentient co-founder Himanshu Tyagi said that the system requires models to synthesize knowledge from multiple sources, avoiding artificial boosts from preloaded data. To enhance efficiency, traditional &#8220;ground truth&#8221; resources like Wikipedia were intentionally excluded, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The company positioned the release of ODS as America's answer to China&#8217;s DeepSeek. As a nonprofit, Sentient advocates for AI development to be community-driven rather than dominated by closed-source corporations.
DeepSeek's AI breakthrough in late January sparked a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-to-benefit">major selloff in U.S. tech stocks</a>, wiping $593 billion from Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) market value as investors grew concerned about rising competition.

Peter Thiel-Backed Nonprofit Sentient Aims To Be America's DeepSeek, Takes Aim At Closed AI Systems

Tim Stokely, the founder of OnlyFans, and a cryptocurrency foundation have joined forces to place a late-stage bid for the acquisition of TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations from ByteDance.
What Happened: The bid was put forth this week by Zoop, Stokely&#8217;s latest venture,&nbsp;and the HBAR Foundation, which&nbsp;manages the Hedera (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hbar/usd">HBAR</a>) blockchain network, according to details shared with Benzinga.
The official X account of HBAR also posted a cryptic message with the TikTok logo and reposted media reports about the bid. Zoop didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for a comment.

&#8220;We are committed to ensuring TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations remain under American ownership and governance,&#8221; said RJ Phillips, Zoop co-founder and CEO. "Our bid for TikTok isn&#8217;t just about changing ownership—it&#8217;s about creating a new paradigm where both creators and their communities benefit directly from the value they collectively generate.&#8221;
Unlike OnlyFans, which is known for adult entertainment, Zoop is a mainstream content platform that pays both creators and fans.
Hedera is a public blockchain network that allows for the development of decentralized applications on top of it. HBAR lies at the center of the network, helping secure it through staking. 
The network attracted criticism for <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/04/24/hederas-hbar-doubles-then-falls-25-as-blackrock-links-diminish">misleading marketing</a> last year after a posting about BlackRock tokenizing a U.S. Treasury money market fund on its blockchain. The announcement sent the token soaring. However, when BlackRock clarified that it was not actively involved in the tokenization process and denied any commercial relationship with Hedera, the token came crashing down.
In March 2023, an attacker <a href="https://hedera.com/blog/analysis-remediation-of-the-precompile-attack-on-the-hedera-network">exploited</a> the smart contract code of the network to transfer Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens from targeted accounts to their own account, leading to the network being taken offline.
Why It Matters: This bid comes amid a flurry of interest in TikTok. Amazon reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44613084/amazon-makes-surprise-bid-for-tiktok-amid-us-ban-threat-report">made a last-minute bid</a> to acquire the popular content creation platform in its entirety, just days before the popular video app faces a U.S. ban if it does not sever ties with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.
Last month,&nbsp;Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian&nbsp;expressed his intention <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44136476/alexis-ohanian-aims-to-acquire-tiktok-us-and-bring-it-on-chain">to acquire TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations</a> and transition it to a blockchain-based platform.&nbsp; Ohanian joined Project Liberty—a consortium led by billionaire&nbsp;Frank McCourt&nbsp;to purchase the platform and transition it into an open-source, decentralized protocol.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, HBAR was exchanging hands at $0.1660, up 0.25% over 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>.

Apple Inc.

Nvidia, AMD, Apple, Meta, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are Trending On Trump's Liberation Day

Leading economists reacted with alarm after President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on U.S. trading partners, with some projecting potential economic losses of up to $20 trillion.
What Happened: &#8220;Monstrously destructive, incoherent, ill-informed tariffs based on fabrications,&#8221; economist Justin Wolfers wrote Wednesday on X, calling the move &#8220;bigger than Smoot-Hawley&#8221; and warning it would &#8220;hurt working Americans more than anyone else.&#8221; Wolfers referred to the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, signed by former President Herbert Hoover, which raised import duties to protect U.S. farmers and businesses but worsened the Great Depression.

Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Declaration of Economic Independence,&#8221; unveiled Wednesday, establishes a reciprocal tariff structure set at half the rate trading partners impose on American goods, including non-monetary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">barriers like VAT taxes and subsidies</a>.
China faces tariffs at 34%, followed by Vietnam at 46%, and Sri Lanka at 44%. The new duties take effect on Apr. 9.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers estimated the economic impact could reach &#8220;$20 trillion, or well over $200,000 per family of four,&#8221; noting that &#8220;as the president spoke, the value of all U.S. stocks fell at least 2 to 3 percent or about $1.5 trillion.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Markets reacted swiftly to the announcement. S&amp;P 500 futures dropped 2.5% while Nasdaq 100 futures fell 3.3% in after-hours trading. The Magnificent Seven tech stocks are projected to lose $685 billion in combined market value, with Apple Inc.

Economist Peter Schiff, who called the tariffs &#8220;history&#8217;s biggest political blunder,&#8221; warned on X that &#8220;a weaker dollar will just make the sting that much more painful&#8221; for American consumers.

Trump's Sweeping Tariffs Could Cost US $20 Trillion, Crash Markets Warn Economists: 'Monstrously Destructive'

The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee is set to hold a hearing next week to examine Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) alleged efforts to establish a presence in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44363736/zuckerbergs-global-push-meta-faces-scrutiny-over-privacy-free-speech-regulatory-tactics">China and its ties to censorship tools</a>.
What Happened: The hearing, titled &#8220;A Time for Truth: Oversight of Meta's Foreign Relations and Representations to the United States Congress,&#8221; will scrutinize Meta's past actions in China.
Senators, including Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), have raised concerns over <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44212431/meta-whistleblower-alleges-zuckerberg-offered-china-full-censorship-control-and-user-data-access-in-desperate-bid-to-enter-market-working-hand-in-glove-with-the-chinese-communist-party-and-lying-about-it">Meta's internal efforts to engage</a> with the Chinese government, as detailed in a book by former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams.

The lawmakers have requested internal documents from Meta regarding the company&#8217;s business dealings in China since 2014, including content suppressed at the behest of Chinese officials.
The letter sent to Zuckerberg on Tuesday also cited reports that Meta may have explored partnering with Chinese companies to create censorship tools and share user data with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Meta spokesperson Andy Stone has stated that the company had abandoned its plans to enter China, <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/04/02/congress/senators-scrutinize-metas-work-in-china-00267744">reported</a> Politico.
&nbsp;&#8220;We do not operate our services in China today,&#8221; Stone said, adding that Facebook&#8217;s previous efforts to connect with China were publicly discussed but ultimately halted in 2019.

Mark Zuckerberg-Led Meta Set To Face 'Truth' At Senate Hearing Over China Operations And Communist Party Censorship Efforts

Life has a way of throwing curveballs, such as divorce, career changes, and financial setbacks, and sometimes, it feels like you're back at square one.
But hitting the reset button in your 40s doesn't mean your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/04/38320795/in-your-50s-its-not-too-late-to-transform-your-financial-future-3-key-moves-t">financial future</a> is doomed. In fact, with thorough planning and disciplined <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44380933/investor-with-40000-portfolio-wonders-if-he-should-pick-dividend-investing-or-growth-first-would-you-prioritize-dividends-or-growth">investing</a>, it's possible to rebuild and even come out stronger than before.
For one Redditor, a 42-year-old facing a divorce and raising three kids, rebuilding financially seems like a tough challenge, but also an opportunity for a fresh start. With $250,000 to invest and a stable business generating between $90,000 and $120,000 per year on average, the investor is determined to turn things around.

</ul>
&#8220;If you could invest from scratch, $250,000–how would you divide it up? It's almost a full-life restart, not ideal, but it is what it is. Would you put [Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/main#NYSE">MAIN</a>)​], [Gladstone Investment Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gain#NASDAQ">GAIN</a>)], [Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schd#NYSE">SCHD</a>)], [JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepq#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>)] into individual or [investment retirement account]? What others should I consider?&#8221; he asked.
The comment section of the post exploded with recommendations, with some Redditors advocating for simple, low-risk investments, and others suggesting aggressive growth strategies. Below, we break down the most relevant insights.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Would You Divide $250,000? Reddit Users Debate in the Comments</h2>
Keep It Simple and Low-Cost
There were plenty of comments that suggested the investor avoid financial advisors and instead invest in an S&amp;P index fund.
&#8220;I would not pay a financial advisor one penny, much less $1,500 per year + fees and %. It doesn&#8217;t take a financial advisor to invest in an S&amp;P 500 index fund, which is the simplest and one of the best investments for a 42-year-old, 22-year-old, 32-year-old, or 52-year-old,&#8221; a Redditor advised.
&#8220;If I had to start at 42&#8230; I would dump it all into an S&amp;P index growth fund and leave it be for about 15 years. At that point, I would look for opportunities to move it into dividends for income,&#8221; another comment says.
Also touching on the fact that he doesn&#8217;t need a financial advisor, this Reddit user mentioned a few assets he believes would help the poster meet his financial goals.
&#8220;Invest in only ETFs, no individual stocks. 75% in [Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/voo#NYSE">VOO</a>)], [SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spy#NYSE">SPY</a>)], or if you want some dividends, [JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepi#NYSE">JEPI</a>)​], or [Alerian MLP ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amlp#NYSE">AMLP</a>)]. No need to pay anyone, just invest in S&amp;P 500 index funds,&#8221; he suggested.

Mix Growth ETFs with Dividend Stocks
While the S&amp;P 500 was one of the most recommended strategies, many commenters suggested mixing growth with dividend ETFs for a balanced portfolio.
&#8220;If you want to retire in, say, 20 years, you need at least 3x if not 4x that $250,000. In addition to the S&amp;P 500 index, MAIN and GAIN look good. If I knew at 42 what I know now, I would have gone into individual growth stocks much earlier than I did, for those have been by far my best performers and would have been even better if I had gotten into them sooner,&#8221; a commenter suggested.
Mentioning that he also owns MAIN and GAIN, this Redditor recommended the poster split the $250,000 between a low-cost S&amp;P index fund, growth assets, and dividend-focused stocks: &#8220;If I were you, I&#8217;d invest the $250,000 in a low-cost S&amp;P index fund and start putting some money every month into an [investment retirement account]. I do own MAIN and GAIN outside of my retirement account&#8230; But I would go growth with your investments and maybe start adding in some dividend payers in your taxable account to diversify your income.&#8221;
&#8220;80% [Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schg#NYSE">SCHG</a>)], 20% SCHD,&#8221; another user suggested.

What Happened: After breaching $88,000, Bitcoin sharply reversed course, plunging to a low of $82,182.32.
Ethereum saw a similar fate, plummeting to $1,780 from $1,950 earlier in the day.
Over $515 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with long liquidations worth $290 million
Bitcoin's Open Interest shrank by 6% in the last 24 hours, while funds locked in Ethereum's unsettled futures contracts dipped by 2.21%.
That said, the Long/Short Ratio increased over the last 24 hours, suggesting an increase in the number of traders placing bullish bets on the leading cryptocurrency.
The market sentiment tumbled into "Extreme Fear," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.67 trillion, following a decline of 2.57% in the last 24 hours.
Stock futures tumbled after the tariff announcement. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures sank 823 points, or 1.94%, as of 8:33 p.m. EDT.&nbsp; Futures tied to the S&amp;P 500 fell 2.86%, while Nasdaq 100 Futures plunged 3.62%.
The sell-offs came after the scope and scale of the new reciprocal tariff structure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44618089/trumps-tariffs-surprise-triggers-carnage-magnificent-7-set-to-wipe-out-nearly-700-billion-">exceeded Wall Street&#8217;s worst-case expectations</a>. The new levies on imported goods would be set at 50% of what the trading partners charge the U.S.
Earlier in the day, blue-chip averages closed in the green. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.67% to close at 5,670.97, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite gained 0.87%, ending at 17,601.05.&nbsp;

Analyst Notes: Popular blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted $65,000 – $71,000 as a strong support zone for Bitcoin.
CryptoQuant defined $65,000 as the True Market Mean Price and $71,000 as the Active Realized Price. "Buying Bitcoin within this range could potentially lead to substantial gains," it projected.

Widely followed cryptocurrency trader Rekt Capital said the altseason would arrive when Bitcoin's dominance hits 71%.
"Bitcoin dominance is currently only 8% away from 71%. Another similar growth spurt would see BTC.D reach that resistance comfortably," Rekt Capital added.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Crash On Trump's Tariff 'Liberation Day' — Analyst Says Buying BTC Between These Levels Could Lead To 'Substantial Gains'

Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet Inc. (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>), may lead one of the world's most valuable companies, but despite his success, he once revealed that his father still wishes he had completed his PhD.
What Happened: In a 2016 conversation <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mathonan/searching-for-google-ceo-sundar-pichai-the-most-powerful-tec#.teGzOOopm">with</a> Buzzfeed, Pichai revealed his father's regret that the Google CEO did not pursue a PhD.&nbsp;
"I think if you talked to my dad, he's probably still regretting that I didn't complete my PhD. He had to leave college after his undergrad. He wanted to learn more, but because of financial reasons, he couldn't do it. I think he always wanted me to continue on," Pichai said then.
Speaking at YouTube&#8217;s Dear Class of 2020 virtual ceremony, Pichai also shared that his father spent an entire year's salary on a plane ticket so he could pursue his studies at Stanford University.

"My father spent the equivalent of a year&#8217;s salary on my plane ticket to the U.S. so I could attend Stanford. It was my first time ever on a plane," he recalled. He credited his passion for technology and an open mind—alongside a bit of luck—for shaping his journey.&nbsp;
The Google CEO also shared insights into his humble beginnings.
" I grew up without much access to technology. We didn&#8217;t get our first telephone till I was ten. I didn&#8217;t have regular access to a computer until I came to America for graduate school. And, our television, when we finally got one, only had one channel," he said.

Why It's Important: Born in 1972 to Regunatha Pichai, an electrical engineer, and Lakshmi, a stenographer, he spent his childhood in a modest two-room apartment in Chennai. He and his younger brother slept on the living-room floor, and the family often went without a television, a car, or even running water at times.
However, when Pichai was 12, his father brought home a rotary telephone, sparking his fascination with technology.
Pichai completed his undergraduate degree in metallurgy from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur in 1993, earning a silver medal. He pursued a master's degree in engineering at Stanford University and later an MBA at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Pichai's journey in tech began with roles at Applied Materials and McKinsey &amp; Company before he joined Google in 2004. His work at Google led to the development of key products like Google Chrome and the Google Toolbar. Over the years, Pichai rose through the ranks, ultimately being named CEO of Google and later Alphabet.
Pichai&#8217;s leadership at Alphabet, which is valued at $1.9 trillion today, has brought innovation in fields like artificial intelligence, voice recognition, and cloud computing.
As of early 2025, his net worth exceeds $1.3 billion, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personalities/sundar-pichai-net-worth">according</a> to The Street.
In 2023, as the CEO of both Alphabet and Google, Pichai reportedly had an annual salary of $2 million without any stock awards or incentive-based bonuses. His total compensation for the year was $8.8 million, with nearly $6.8 million allocated for his security.
The year 2022 saw one of Pichai's highest earnings at the company, with his total compensation reaching $226 million. This included his base salary along with stock awards, which came in the form of restricted stock units (GSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), the report noted.

라이젠(Raizen)은 쉘(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>)과 코산(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSAN#NYSE">CSAN</a>) 간의 브라질 합작 회사로, JP모건을 통해 아르헨티나 석유 정유소와 주유소 네트워크 매각을 추진하고 있다. 블룸버그는 최근 CEO 넬슨 고메스(Nelson Gomes)의 애널리스트와의 실적 발표 전화에서의 발언을 인용하여, 이 회사가 &#8220;심층적인&#8221; 포트폴리오 개편을 진행 중이라고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-06/raizen-is-said-to-hire-jpmorgan-for-argentina-energy-assets-sale?srnd=phx-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록의 업데이트</h2>
월그린스 부츠 얼라이언스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>)가 시카모어 파트너스(Sycamore Partners)와의 100억 달러 규모의 거래로 민간 부문으로 진출할 가능성이 커졌다. 이 거래는 월그린스 이사회에서 승인되었으며, 주주들에게 주당 11.45달러의 현금을 제공한다. 퓨처 펀드(The Future Fund LLC)의 게리 블랙이 소셜 미디어에서 &#8220;이 회사는 공개 기업이 되어서는 안 된다고 이전에 이야기한 적이 있다&#8221;고 전했다. 그리고 누가 모든 것을 조종하고 있나? 16.9% 지분을 보유하고 있는 스테파노 페시나(Stefano Pessina) 집행 회장이 이 약국 제국을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44185847/gary-black-says-walgreens-is-a-company-that-shouldnt-be-public-cites-largest-shareholders-role-in-10-billion-sycamore-deal">공개 시선에서 벗어나게 할</a> 때가 되었다고 명확히 결정했다.
대통령 도널드 트럼프는 미국 국부 펀드가 틱톡의 미국 사업을 인수하기를 원한다. 이는 마치 대출로 허덕이는 대학생에게 개인 제트기를 사라고 제안하는 것과 같다. 미국의 부채는 천문학적이며 트럼프 행정부는 (그들이 말하는) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44143475/trumps-u-s-doge-service-claims-65b-in-savings-experts-call-it-smoke-and-mirrors-amid-resignations">이를 줄이는 데 집중</a>하고 있다. 그러나 <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/wealth/dealmaker-michael-grimes-expected-lead-new-us-sovereign-wealth-fund-sources-say-2025-03-05/?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosprorata&amp;stream=top">로이터</a>는 우버 IPO와 트위터 인수를 주도한 경험이 있는 인물인 모건 스탠리의 마이클 그라임스(Michael Grimes)가 미국을 위한 국부 펀드의 설계를 감독하고 있다고 보도했다. 하지만 틱톡의 4월 5일 마감일이 다가오고 있어 시간은 촉박하다. 똑딱똑딱. 말장난 의도.
물론 그때까지 거래가 체결될 수 있지만, 하루하루가 지날수록 이것은 마치 헤일 메리(Hail Mary) 패스처럼 느껴진다. 이번에는 미식축구공을 잡는 대신, 미국이 립싱크와 트렌드를 선도하는 이 소셜 미디어 거인을 잡기를 바라고 있다.
한편, 온세미(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>)가 알레그로 마이크로시스템즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGM#NASDAQ">ALGM</a>)에 대한 인수 제안을 주당 35.10달러로 인상해 69억 달러 규모의 거래로 평가되었다. 이는 9월 2일 제출된 초기 제안인 주당 34.50달러보다 증가한 금액이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록에서의 거래 중단</h2>
아메리칸 익스프레스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>)가 벨뷰(Bellevue), 워싱턴에 본사를 둔 센터(Center)를 인수하기로 합의했다고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-06/american-express-to-acquire-expense-management-company-center?srnd=phx-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">블룸버그</a>가 보도했다. 센터는 듀러블 캐피털 파트너스, 탑 티어 캐피털 파트너스 및 망고 캐피털이 지원하는 소프트웨어 제공업체이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">파산 블록</h2>
카누(Canoo)는 전기차 스타트업으로, 제대로 출발하지 못한 상황에서 CEO의 도움으로 재부팅되고 있다. 토니 아퀼라(Anthony Aquila)가 카누의 거의 모든 자산을 파산에서 400만 달러 현금으로 인수한다고 <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/canoos-ceo-is-buying-the-bankrupt-ev-startups-assets/">테크크런치</a>가 보도했다. 이 매각은 카누가 금융회사에 빚진 1,100만 달러의 부채를 없앨 것으로 예상된다&#8230; 편리하게도 아퀼라 자신이 운영하는 회사이다. 카누는 불과 6주 전 챕터 7 청산을 신청했다. NASA와 국방부와의 정부 계약은 별다른 성과를 내지 못했다. 이 스타트업은 약 1억 4,500만 달러의 자산이 있지만 1억 7,500만 달러의 부채가 있다. 이제 다른 구매자들도 3월 28일 이전에 경합에 참여할 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록에서의 소식</h2>
트럼프의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates">백악관 복귀</a>와 함께 예상되었던 M&amp;A 거래의 물결은 이렇게 끝나간다.
그들은 <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44045159/trumps-plan-to-rein-in-regulators-could-erode-market-trust-says-2-3-trillion-asset-manager">규제 완화</a>와 더 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44197558/whats-moving-markets-friday">활기찬 주식 시장</a>을 기대했다. 지금까지 두 가지 시나리오 모두 실현되지 않았다. 딜로직에 따르면, 미국 기반 M&amp;A 거래량은 2024년 같은 시기와 비교해 약 29% 감소했다.
연방 거래 위원회(FTC)의 최근 조치를 고려해보자. 트럼프 임명자가 수장인 이 기관은 사모펀드가 서모딕스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRDX#NASDAQ">SRDX</a>)를 인수하려는 계획에 제동을 걸고 있다. 이 회사는 약물 전달 및 체외(vitro) 진단 기술을 전문으로 한다.
인수자는 GTCR로, 이미 바이오코트(Biocoat)라는 서모딕스의 경쟁사를 보유하고 있다. 두 회사를 모두 소유하게 되면 50% 이상의 시장 지배력을 갖게 되어 경쟁을 억압할 수 있다. 기술 비용이 소비자에게 실제로 부담이 될 것이다. 새로운 경쟁자가 바이오코트와 서모딕스의 콤비에 도전할 가능성이 낮기 때문에 FTC는 이 문제를 일리노이 북부 지방법원에 회부했다.
트럼프 행정부가 이 합병을 간과하지 않는다는 사실에 놀란 분들을 위해 그의 첫 임기에는 법무부가 AT&amp;T와 타임 워너 간의 거래, 싱클레어(Sinclair)와 트리뷴 미디어(Tribune Media) 간의 거래, 브로드컴과 퀄컴 간의 거래, 드래프트킹스와 팬듀얼 간의 거래를 차단한 바 있다.

셰브론, GE 버노바(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), 엔진넘버원(Engine No.1)은 2027년까지 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43308041/chevron-ge-vernova-engine-no-1-bet-big-on-ai-power-but-is-it-too-late" target="_blank" rel="noopener">인공지능(AI) 데이터센터</a>를 가동하기 위해 합작 투자를 시작했다. 그리고 엑손모빌은 탄소 포집 사업을 통해 저탄소 전력을 제공하는 데 주력할 것이다. 쉘은 태양 에너지와 배터리 저장 시설, 그리고 로드아일랜드에 있는 천연가스 공장을 활용하고자 한다.
블룸버그 통신에 따르면, 석유 대기업 3사의 4분기 수익은 화석 연료 공급이 수요를 초과하는 상황에 직면해 마진이 타격을 입었고, 이로 인해 공격적인 AI 데이터 센터에 대한 야심 찬 계획을 추진 중인 거대 기술 기업에 의존하게 되었다고 한다.
그러나 중국 딥시크의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43390988/deepseek-and-nvidia-under-us-investigation-ai-market-shakeup-wipes-out-1-trillion-in-tech-value" target="_blank" rel="noopener">저렴한 저전력</a> AI 모델의 등장으로 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)가 지원하는 오픈AI가 다른 빅테크 기업과 경쟁하도록 했고, 잠재적으로 데이터센터의 필요성을 줄임으로써 석유 회사들에게 실망감을 안겨주기도 했다. 석유 회사들은 천연가스 발전에 대한 수요 증가에 베팅하고 있다.
이들 석유 대기업은 유가 수요의 정점을 앞두고 투자자들을 유인하기 위해 자사주매입과 배당금을 지급했으나 주주 수익 전략은 한계에 도달했다.
엑손모빌은 2024년 배당금과 자사주 매입에 360억 달러에 달하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43389620/exxon-mobil-q4-earnings-mixed-results-but-ceo-promises-profitable-growth-well-into-the-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener">잉여현금흐름</a> 전체를 지출했지만, 여전히 S&amp;P 500 지수 평균 대비 46% 할인된 가격에 거래되고 있다.
엑손은 2026년까지 연간 200억 달러 규모의 자사주매입 프로그램을 확대할 계획이고, 쉐브론은 올해 주주들에게 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43382627/chevron-falls-as-q4-profits-decline-amid-lower-oil-output-dividend-hike-offers-silver-lining" target="_blank" rel="noopener">270억 달러</a>의 현금을 돌려 주었다.
미국은 현재 세계 최대의 석유 생산국이지만 에너지 관련 주식은 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 3.2%에 불과다. 거대 석유 기업의 할인된 평가액 중 일부는 수익을 내지 못한 높은 자본 지출 때문이다.
에너지 전환으로 인해 시장은 배당금과 자사주 매입의 지속 가능성에 대해 불안해하고 있다. 원자재 가격 변동의 변동성도 현금 보유량이 많은 빅테크에 비해 화석연료의 가치를 떨어뜨렸다.
골드만삭스의 단 스트루이벤(Daan Struyven)은 도널드 트럼프의 캐나다에 대한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/42212364/trumps-tariff-threat-to-canada-may-disrupt-oil-markets-inflate-prices-would-likely-raise-the-price-of-fuels-says-analyst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">25% 관세</a>가 미국의 연료 가격을 상승시키고 인플레이션을 유발할 것으로 예상한다. 운송 비용의 상승은 석유 유통 회사의 이익에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
스트루이벤은 최근 미국이 러시아, 이란, 베네수엘라의 석유 공급을 더욱 제한할 경우 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43036184/us-energy-sector-enjoys-strong-start-to-2025-analysts-eye-constructive-setup-for-chevron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">유가가 배랄덩 90달러</a>에 이를 것으로 예상한다고 말했다.

국제에너지기구(IEA)는 2025년 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">세계 석유 수요</a> 전망을 소폭 수정해 <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-december-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이전에 예상했던</a> 일일 110만 배럴에서 105만 배럴로 감소할 것으로 전망했다. 새로운 전망은 경제 상황 개선과 <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-january-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">연료 가격 하락</a>을 반영하면서 전 세계 수요를 일평균 1억 4천만 배럴로 예상한다.
2024년 4분기에는 석유 수요가 강하게 반등했다. 일일 150만 배럴이 증가하며 2023년 말 이후 가장 높은 성장률을 기록했다.
IEA는 이러한 급증을 연료 가격 하락, 북부 지역의 추운 날씨, 미국의 석유 화학 활동 증가 때문이라고 설명했다. 그러나 2025년 석유 수요 증가율은 2024년을 넘어 설 가능성이 있지만 2023년의 일일 2백만 배럴 이상의 증가율에는 미치지 못할 것이다.
한편, 석유수출국기구(OPEC)는 2025년에 <a href="https://momr.opec.org/pdf-download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">일일 145만 배럴의</a> 더 높은 수요 증가를 예상하고 있다.
중국, 인도, 아프리카 국가를 포함한 주요 아시아 시장의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/11/41899890/opec-cuts-2024-oil-demand-forecast-for-fourth-straight-month-amid-chinas-economic-slowdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">부진한 데이터로</a> 인해 OPEC은 2024년 석유 수요 증가 전망을 여러 차례 수정했다. 그럼에도 불구하고 OPEC 전망치는 월가 은행이나 사우디 아람코의 전망치보다 더 낙관적으로 보였다.
중국은 11월에 휘발유 소비 증가와 거의 3년 만에 최저치를 기록한 디젤 가격 하락에 힘입어 석유 수요가 크게 증가했다.
IEA는 중국 부동산 시장의 안정화 조짐이 석유 수요의 추가 회복을 뒷받침할 수 있다고 강조했다. 월스트리트저널은 중국이 2025년에 석유 소비량을 하루 22만 배럴 늘릴 것으로 예상하는데, 이는 2024년의 하루 18만 배럴 증가에 비해 크게 증가한 수치라고 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/iea-trims-oil-demand-outlook-but-still-expects-stronger-growth-this-year-a972c71b?mod=business_lead_pos4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도했다</a>.
최근 러시아의 에너지 부문과 해운 네트워크를 겨냥한 미국의 제재와 이란의 그림자 함대를 겨냥한 조치는 전 세계 석유 공급에 차질을 빚을 수 있다. 이러한 조치는 중국과 인도와 같은 주요 구매자가 대체 공급원을 찾도록 강요할 수 있다.
월스트리트저널은 브렌트유 가격은 배럴당 80달러, 미국 서부 텍사스산 중질유(WTI유)는 배럴당 77달러에 거래되며 공급 부족에 대한 시장의 우려를 반영하고 있다고 보도했다.
지정학적 압력에도 불구하고 2024년 12월 세계 석유 공급은 나이지리아와 리비아의 생산량 증가에 힘입어 소폭 증가했다. IEA는 2025년에 미국, 브라질, 캐나다 등 비OPEC+ 국가들이 주도하여 매일 180만 배럴의 공급 증가를 예상하고 있다. 그러나 제재나 기상 관련 장애로 인해 기존 석유 재고가 급격히 줄어들 수 있다고 경고했다.
주목할 만한 석유 주식으로는 엑손모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), 쉐브론(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), 쉘(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>), 토탈에너지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>), 페트로브라스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBR#NYSE">PBR</a>), BP(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>)가 있다.

우크라이나가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/01/42769181/natural-gas-prices-surge-as-arctic-blast-freezes-us-3-stocks-on-the-move" target="_blank" rel="noopener">운송 계약</a> 갱신을 거부한 후 수요일 구 소련 시대의 우크라이나 파이프라인을 통한 러시아 가스 수출이 중단된 것으로 알려졌다.
상세 내용: 러시아 가스 회사인 가스프롬(Gazprom)은 가스 흐름이 GMT 기준 0500시에 중단되었다고 밝혔다. 이는 우크라이나가 운송 계약을 갱신하기를 거부한 것으로, 널리 예상된 조치였다.
로이터 통신에 따르면 우크라이나 대통령 볼로디미르 젤렌스키는 텔레그램에 러시아 천연가스의 우크라이나 통과 중단이 &#8220;모스크바의 가장 큰 패배 중 하나&#8221;라고 썼다.
젤렌스키는 동맹국들이 유럽에 더 많은 가스를 공급하여 러시아 공급 중단으로 인한 공백을 메워줄 것을 촉구했다. &#8220;유럽의 진정한 파트너들로부터 시장에 더 많은 가스가 공급될수록, 우리는 러시아에 대한 유럽 에너지 의존의 마지막 부정적인 결과를 더 빨리 극복할 수 있을 것이다&#8221;라고 그가 적었다.

2025년 유럽으로의 액화천연가스(LNG 수출이 증가할 것으로 예상됨에 따라 데본 에너지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) 및 셰니에르 에너지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>)를 포함한 미국 기반 액화천연가스 수출업체의 주가는 목요일 상승했다.
&#8220;셰니에르의 LNG는 우크라이나 전쟁에 대한 유럽의 대응에서 중요한 역할을 했으며, 공급의 안전성, 즉 생산의 신뢰성과 배송의 유연성이 현재와 향후 수십 년 동안 얼마나 중요한지를 보여주었다&#8221;고 코리 그린달(Corey Grindal), 셰니에르 에너지의 COO가 2023년 <a href="https://www.lng2023.org/news/cheniere-key-contributor-european-energy-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">인터뷰</a>에서 말했다.
그린달은 &#8220;셰니에르가 2022년 전 세계 LNG의 약 11%를 생산했으며, 셰니에르의 LNG의 70% 이상이 유럽으로 수출되었다.&#8221;고 덧붙였다.
유럽연합 집행위원회는 성명을 발표하여 EU가 러시아 가스 흐름 중단을 예상하고 준비했다고 밝혔다.
&#8220;유럽 가스 인프라는 비러시아 원천의 가스를 제공할 만큼 유연하다&#8221;고 위원회 대변인이 말했다. &#8220;2022년 이후로 상당한 새로운 LNG 수입 용량이 강화되었다.&#8221;
로이터에 따르면 헝가리는 투르크스트림(TurkStream) 파이프라인을 통해 계속 러시아 가스를 받을 것이며, 러시아 가스의 마지막 남은 유럽 구매국인 슬로바키아와 오스트리아는 다른 공급을 마련했다.
슬로바키아 정부는 화요일에 가스 부족 위험이 없다고 발표했으며, 국영 가스 회사인 SPP는 BP PLC(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>), 엑손모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), 쉘 PLC(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) 등 대형 국제 공급업체들과 가스 공급 계약을 체결했다고 밝혔다.
투자자들은 SPDR Select Energy Sector Fund(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)를 통해 더 넓은 에너지 부문을 모니터링할 수 있다. 이 펀드는 원유와 천연가스를 주로 개발하고 생산하는 22개 회사들로 구성된 S&amp;P 에너지 선택 섹터 지수를 추적한다.

다윈 파이낸셜 컴퍼니(Darwin Financial Company)의 공동 설립자 조슈아 로빈슨(Joshua Robinson)은 INYOAG LLC와의 5,500만 달러 자금 조달 거래를 발표했다. 이 자금은 캘리포니아 이노 카운티에 있는 태양열 발전 광산 개발에 사용될 예정이며, 해당 지역에는 은, 납, 아연, 텅스텐 및 구리 매장량이 확인되어 있다. 로빈슨과의 대화 내용은 다음과 같다:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: 다윈 금융과 기초 금속 광산업체 INYOAG 간의 거래 구조는 어떻게 되나요? </h4>
로빈슨: 이번 거래 구조는 5,500만 달러 프로젝트 자금 조달 패키지로, 세 가지 구성 요소로 나누어진다: 황화물 및 산화물 생산에 각각 1,750만 달러 및 1,250만 달러의 6년 만기 채권, 그리고 광산이 월 1,000만 달러의 매출을 달성할 경우에만 발동되는 2,000만 달러의 조건부 주식 투자이다. 우리는 두 생산 트랙에서 총 매출의 17%를 확보하며, 이는 안전한 록박스 방식으로 구조화된다. 이것은 단순한 주식 투자가 아니며, 우리는 추가적인 상승 가능성을 제공하기 위해 특별히 이렇게 설계했다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">추가 투자자/합작 투자 파트너를 찾고 있나요? </h4>
네, 우리는 이것을 여러 층의 상승 가능성을 창출하기 위해 고의적으로 구조화했다. 이는 광산 분야에서 꽤 독특한 접근 방식이다. 우리는 생산에서의 단기 현금 흐름과 상당한 확장 가능성을 제공하는 하이브리드 모델을 만들었다. 우리는 이미 기존 광산 업체들로부터 관심을 받고 있지만, 특히 중요한 광물의 전략적 가치를 이해하는 새로운 투자자들을 이 분야에 끌어들이는 것에 대해 기대하고 있다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">중요 광물의 외국 공급원에 의존하는 것의 단점은 무엇인가요? </h4>
중국의 최근 움직임은 여기서 긴급성을 강조한다. 중국은 이미 게르마늄과 갈륨에 대한 수출 통제를 시행했고, 최근 안티모니도 목록에 추가했다. 이는 더 이상 이론적인 문제가 아니라, 실제로 발생하고 있다. 우리는 방산 및 기술에 필수적인 이러한 광물에 대해 공급망의 지역적 회복력을 구축해야 한다. 다윈 광산은 단일 자산에서 여러 중요한 광물의 국내 공급원을 구축할 수 있는 독특한 기회를 제공한다. 이는 찾기 어려운 일이다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">광산은 태양열로 운영되나요? </h4>
100MW 시설은 광산만을 전력 공급하는 것이 아니라, 우리가 생산하는 광물로 발전소 규모의 에너지 저장 시스템을 개발할 수 있는 충분한 청정 에너지를 생성할 것이다. 이는 우리의 광산 운영이 청정 에너지 배치를 직접 지원하는 선순환을 만든다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2025년 목표는 무엇인가요? </h4>
2025년의 주요 목표는 자금 지원 후 6개월 이내에 황화물 생산을 하루 300톤으로, 9개월 이내에 산화물 생산을 하루 200톤으로 끌어올리는 것이다. 이는 월 1,000만 달러의 매출을 달성하게 되며, 그 후 심화된 광산 개발 프로그램이 발동다.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">파산 블록</h3>
알렉스 존스(Alex Jones)의 미디어 회사인 인포워스(Infowars)가 디 어니언(The Onion)에 인수되었다는 소식이다. 이 거래의 뒷받침은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41982446/jokes-on-jones-onion-backed-by-families-of-sandy-hook-victims-buys-info-wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">샌디 훅(</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41982446/jokes-on-jones-onion-backed-by-families-of-sandy-hook-victims-buys-info-wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">Sandy Hook</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41982446/jokes-on-jones-onion-backed-by-families-of-sandy-hook-victims-buys-info-wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">) 피해자</a> 가족들로, 이들은 존스가 10억 달러 이상의 명예훼손 판결을 지고 있는 상황에서 이 거래를 시가에 상징적 정의라고 찬양했다. 일론 머스크 및 터커 칼슨 등 우파 인사들의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36168941/elon-musks-controversial-move-alex-jones-returns-to-x-after-user-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">동정을 받아온</a> 존스는 눈에 띄게 괴로워하는 소셜 미디어 영상을 통해 &#8220;민주당&#8221;을 비난하며 인수를 확인했다.

월스트리트는 공화당이 의회를 장악하고 규제를 완화함에 따라 M&amp;A가 급증할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 분석가들은 리나 칸(Lina Khan) 연방거래위원회(FTC) 위원장의 해임으로 인해 독점 금지 조사가 쉬워질 것으로 예상하고 있다. 뱅크 오브 아메리카는 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선자와 같은 공화당 행정부가 역사적으로 민주당 행정부에 비해 금융 부문 M&amp;A 활동을 50% 이상 육성했다는 점을 강조한다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카는 또한 금리 인하가 발효되고 경제 상황이 안정화됨에 따라 2025년은 M&amp;A에 있어 더 좋은 해가 될 수 있다고 예측한다. 다음은 은행이 수집한 5가지 잠재적 목표 목록이다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">전체 목록</a>을 보려면 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">여기를 클릭</a>하세요.
