The SPY was up 0.38% at $599.25, while the QQQ advanced 0.45% to $529.34, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pr</a>o data.
Cues From Last Session:
S&amp;P 500&#8217;s sectors closed in the red on Friday, as financial, information technology, and materials stocks experienced the most significant declines. However, energy stocks defied the broader market trend, ending the session higher.
This came as U.S. stocks settled lower, with the Dow Jones index plummeting over 700 points during the trading day following Israel's unexpected airstrike on Iranian nuclear sites.
Meanwhile, RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) shares saw a gain of approximately 7% on Friday. This boost came after the company announced stronger-than-anticipated first-quarter adjusted EPS results and confirmed its commitment to its current FY25 guidance, despite ongoing uncertainties from tariffs and macroeconomic events.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index rose to 60.5 in June, up from 52.2 in the preceding two months, also surpassing market expectations of 53.5.
The Dow Jones index ended 770 points or 1.79% lower at 42,197.79, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index fell 1.13% to 5,976.97. Nasdaq Composite declined 1.30% to 19,406.83, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, tumbled 1.85% to end at 2,100.51.

Insights From Analysts:
As major U.S. equity benchmarks fell on Friday due to heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, LPL Financial&#8217;s analysis of 25 wars over seven decades suggests long-term gains for the S&amp;P 500 index.
Jeff Buchbinder, Chief Equity Strategist at LPL, noted, &#8220;Assuming no imminent recession, which is LPL Research's base-case scenario, history shows that markets are roughly flat over the next month following these geopolitical and economic shocks, but frequently move higher over the following three, six, and 12-month periods. In the case of an event near a recession, such as Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and 9/11, stocks have almost always moved lower in the subsequent 3, 6, and 12 months.&#8221;
Ed Yardeni from Yardeni Research said,&#8221; The S&amp;P 500 is now in the middle of the Middle East,&#8221; and advised investors to buy the dip.
&#8220;We anticipated this development in last Thursday&#8217;s QuickTakes and recommended using any selloff in the stock market as a buying opportunity,&#8221; he said.
Conversely, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates highlighted a significant market concern: &#8220;The primary fear is that the fighting spreads to other countries and U.S. military bases in the region.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Nigam Arora from The Arora Report maintained that the &#8220;Israel Iran war is not a risk.&#8221;

T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TE#NYSE">TE</a>) ("T1," "T1 Energy," or the "Company") announced the selection of Yates Construction as contractor for preconstruction services and site preparations for its planned $850 million, G2_Austin 5 GW Solar Cell Facility. The project is enabled by the Trump Administration's tariffs and other policies supporting American advanced manufacturing, jobs and energy dominance.
The commissioners of Milam County, Texas, also unanimously voted to provide T1 Energy with a long-term tax abatement package, subject to the Company meeting or exceeding employment and investment thresholds at the facility. The facility is expected to begin producing cells by the end of 2026, and create up to 1,800 full-time jobs.
G2_Austin is a key part of T1's strategy to build a domestic solar and battery supply chain to provide America with scalable, reliable and low-cost energy. In combination with the Company's fully operational G1_Dallas 5 GW Solar Module Facility, T1 plans to address unmet customer demand for U.S. solar cells and modules using TOPCon technology.

TotalEnergies announces the acquisition from PETRONAS of interests in multiple blocks offshore Malaysia and in one block offshore Indonesia, where exploration, appraisal and development programs will be progressed. The licenses, which are all in different maturation stages, cover more than 100,000 km2.
TotalEnergies will notably hold, alongside PETRONAS through its wholly-owned subsidiary Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, a 50% operated working interest in Blocks SK301b and SK313, where significant gas discoveries (more than 4 Tcf) were made and are expected to be developed to support gas supply to Malaysia LNG from 2030. TotalEnergies will also hold, alongside PETRONAS, interests in several exploration blocks offshore Malaysia. The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals.

Stock Split

Regencell Bioscience Shares Trading Premarket Following Effect Of A 38-For-1 Forward Stock Split

A federal jury convicted Tiron Alexander, 35, of wire fraud and entering secure airport areas under false pretenses after he posed as a flight attendant to book more than 120 free flights across multiple airlines from 2018 to 2024.
What Happened: The U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Southern District of Florida announced June 5 that Alexander used approximately 30 different badge numbers and fabricated employment dates to exploit airline employee discount systems.
Court evidence showed Alexander flew on 34 flights without payment by claiming he worked for seven different carriers through airline websites restricted to pilots and flight attendants, according to <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/14/florida-man-free-flights-flight-attendant/">a</a> Fortune report.
Alexander&#8217;s employment history included legitimate positions as a global ticketing support representative for Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) from 2010-2012, flight attendant for Atlantic Southeast Airlines from 2013-2014, and briefly with Republic Airways in 2015. However, he leveraged this background to create fraudulent credentials across multiple carriers.
The Transportation Security Administration investigated the case, with incidents occurring primarily at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. While court documents don&#8217;t identify specific airlines, booking screenshots indicate Alexander targeted Spirit Airlines Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVEQ#NASDAQ">SAVEQ</a>).

Why It Matters: Alexander&#8217;s fraud scheme coincided with increased airline fee revenue generation. A Senate investigation in November 2024 revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42202979/senate-targets-airlines-over-124-billion-seat-fees-amid-mounting-scrutiny">major U.S. airlines collected $12.4 billion</a> in seat selection fees between 2018 and 2023.
In 2023 alone, United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) earned $1.3 billion from seating fees—exceeding its revenue from checked baggage for the first time.
Spirit Airlines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44320853/spirit-airlines-bounces-back-from-bankruptcy-set-to-enhance-passenger-services">recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection </a>in March 2025, completing financial restructuring that reduced funded debt by $795 million while securing $350 million in equity investment. The airline expects to re-list shares &#8220;as soon as reasonably practicable.&#8221;
TSA confirmed Alexander underwent standard security procedures and posed no passenger threat despite fraudulent boarding passes. U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Becerra will sentence Alexander August 25, with wire fraud carrying potential penalties of up to 20 years imprisonment and substantial fines.

SAVEQ

Florida Man Busted For Scoring 120+ Free Flights By Posing As Flight Attendant

For most people, real estate investing sounds like a fantasy reserved for the wealthy. You picture six-figure down payments, all-cash offers, and phone calls about broken water heaters at 2 a.m. It feels out of reach unless you're already sitting on a pile of money or have the time and energy to become a full-time landlord. But the reality is shifting—and fast. Thanks to new platforms like Arrived Homes, getting started in real estate no longer requires deep pockets or heavy responsibilities. In fact, you can begin building your real estate empire for less than what you might spend each week at your local coffee shop. With just $100, <a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=y2&amp;aff_sub2=dedicatedcoffee">you can become a fractional owner in rental properties across the U.S.</a> and start earning passive income—without ever lifting a wrench or dealing with a tenant.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Real Estate Is Still One of the Best Wealth Builders</h2>
Even in a volatile market, real estate remains one of the most resilient and proven vehicles for long-term wealth creation. It offers a powerful combination of stable appreciation, tax advantages, and monthly cash flow. But traditionally, accessing those benefits meant buying an entire property outright—something most people simply can't afford. Arrived Homes changes that equation. Instead of saving for years to purchase a single property, you can spread a small investment across several properties and start benefiting from both rental income and potential appreciation. It's real estate investing made accessible, transparent, and stress-free.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Rise of Fractional Real Estate Ownership</h2>
Fractional ownership is reshaping who gets to participate in the property market. Where once you needed tens or hundreds of thousands just to get a foot in the door, platforms like Arrived now let you own shares in rental homes and vacation properties for a fraction of the cost. This model is part of a larger movement that's breaking down the traditional barriers to real estate investing. 
Alongside platforms like Fundrise and Yieldstreet, along plenty of others (more on them later), Arrived is helping create a future where owning a slice of premium real estate isn't just for the top 1%—it's for anyone with a hundred bucks and a Wi-Fi connection. And unlike REITs or mutual funds, fractional ownership gives you direct exposure to the actual properties, with full transparency into how they're selected, managed, and performing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Arrived Works, Step by Step</h2>
The process is refreshingly simple. You sign up, browse available properties, and choose where to invest. Each listing includes in-depth details like neighborhood insights, rental projections, and appreciation forecasts. You might decide to put $100 into a single-family home in Atlanta or $500 split between vacation rentals in Arizona and Florida. Either way, once you invest, Arrived handles everything—from finding and screening tenants to coordinating maintenance and collecting rent. Your only job? Sit back and collect your quarterly dividends, all while watching your portfolio grow from the comfort of your phone or laptop. The entire process can take less than 15 minutes.
Get Started
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=y2&amp;aff_sub2=dedicatedcoffee">Earn Passive Income from Rental Properties Without Lifting a Finger</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What It's Like to Be an Arrived Investor</h2>
Unlike traditional real estate where you're constantly juggling leases, late payments, or contractor appointments, investing with Arrived is hands-off by design. Many users report being able to build diversified portfolios across multiple states without any prior real estate experience. The platform's dashboard makes it easy to track earnings, review financial performance, and reinvest dividends if you want to scale your holdings. And because Arrived is SEC-qualified and backed by institutional partners, you get a level of regulatory oversight and transparency that's rare in private investing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Real Benefits of Fractional Ownership</h2>
The power of fractional real estate lies in how much flexibility and control it gives investors. For starters, the low minimum investment means you don't need to wait for a windfall to get started—you can invest in property on your terms and timeline. You also get the benefit of diversification, spreading risk across multiple regions and property types instead of putting all your chips on a single home. It's truly passive income too, with Arrived handling all day-to-day operations. You gain access to premium properties that might otherwise be out of reach, including newly renovated homes in hot rental markets. And in many cases, platforms offer liquidity options, such as secondary markets or scheduled share buybacks, giving you more flexibility if your financial goals change.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Flexibility to Invest on Your Own Terms</h2>
Whether you're saving for a home, a child's education, or just building long-term financial stability, fractional real estate gives you options that traditional assets don't. It's particularly compelling in a high-inflation environment where cash is losing value in savings accounts. Real estate tends to hold up well against inflation, and with Arrived, you can start compounding your returns even if you're only investing a small amount. Best of all, you don't need to be an accredited investor or pass any income thresholds. If you've got $100, you can start.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Skip the Headaches—Let Someone Else Handle the Hassle</h2>
Owning property usually comes with baggage: leaky roofs, emergency repairs, difficult tenants. With Arrived, all of that disappears. They buy the property, they handle the tenants, they manage the maintenance. You simply invest, and they send you your share of the profits. It's the ultimate hands-off model, ideal for busy professionals, new investors, or anyone who wants the benefits of real estate without the landlord lifestyle. You never need to visit the home or deal with the kinds of curveballs that scare people away from owning rentals. It's real ownership without the real-world hassle.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Few Caveats to Keep in Mind</h2>
As with any investment, there are a few things to be aware of. Some platforms may have limited inventory, especially when demand is high. There's also market risk—property values can go down as well as up. While fractional platforms are generally more liquid than owning a full property, it can still take time to sell your shares depending on the platform's terms. And of course, platform fees matter. Always review the fee structure, including any sourcing or asset management fees, so you understand the net return you're getting.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Start Small, Dream Big</h2>
You don't need to be rich to get started in real estate. You don't need to own a whole property. You don't need to wait for "someday." With Arrived Homes, <a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=y2&amp;aff_sub2=dedicatedcoffee">all you need is $100 and the willingness to take the first step</a>. Whether you're building a side income stream, testing the waters of real estate, or looking for a better way to grow your money than letting it sit idle, fractional ownership opens the door to a smarter, simpler, more accessible future. From coffee money to cash flow—it starts here.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alternatives to Arrived Homes</h2>
If you&#8217;re just getting started in real estate, Arrived Homes is one of the easiest and most accessible ways to dip your toes in. But it's not the only platform out there. As the fractional real estate space continues to grow, so do your options as an investor. Depending on your goals, risk tolerance, and budget, there are several other platforms worth exploring—each offering their own take on how to make real estate investing more accessible, more transparent, and more hands-off.
Fundrise is one of the most well-known names in the space, <a href="https://fundrise.sjv.io/MAWArJ">with a minimum investment as low as $10</a>. It's designed for long-term wealth building, offering access to professionally managed portfolios of real estate assets. You earn through quarterly dividends and potential appreciation, all inside a sleek, easy-to-use app. For investors who want a fully passive experience and are comfortable letting a fund manager handle asset selection, Fundrise is a strong contender.
If you&#8217;re looking to branch out beyond just real estate, Yieldstreet may catch your eye. With a minimum of $2,500, <a href="https://yieldstreet.pxf.io/mO0OQe">it offers access to a range of alternative assets</a>—including real estate, private credit, art, and structured notes—previously available only to institutions. It's built for both accredited and non-accredited investors and focuses on asset classes that are typically uncorrelated with public markets.
On the higher end, <a href="https://equitymultiple.4drrzr.net/LKWK9j">EquityMultiple provides curated access to commercial real estate investments starting at $5,000</a>. The platform specializes in multifamily, industrial, and mixed-use developments, and caters primarily to accredited investors. Each opportunity is professionally vetted, with detailed projections and clear target returns laid out upfront.
Lastly, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/realty-mogul">RealtyMogul gives you the option to invest in individual real estate projects or REITs</a>, starting from $5,000. It's open to both accredited and select non-accredited investors, and offers a mix of commercial deals, apartment communities, and income-producing properties. Like Arrived, the experience is passive and managed—but with a broader scope of opportunities and deal types to choose from.
So while Arrived may be the easiest place to start—especially for first-time investors—don't stop your search there. The world of fractional real estate is expanding fast, and these platforms are all worth looking into as you build out your long-term investing strategy.

Snowflake, Acxiom Partner To Power Secure AI Marketing For Brands

Zoom CEO Eric Yuan is the latest addition to the long list of business leaders and tech executives who have denied the existence of work-life balance. Yuan shared his thoughts in detail during a recent podcast interview:
What Happened: Speaking on the Grit podcast, Yuan stated, "There's no way to balance. Work is life, life is work." "I don't have any hobbies. My whole life is Zoom and my family," he added. When asked how he manages competing demands, Yuan said: "Whenever there's a conflict, guess what? Family first. That's it."
Looking ahead, Yuan predicted that advances in artificial intelligence could lead to significantly shorter workweeks. "Imagine down the road, let's say we have very mature AI technology. Do we really need to work for five days a week? Maybe three days, maybe two days," he said. Microsoft Founder Bill Gates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44481583/bill-gates-thinks-you-might-only-work-2-3-days-a-week-thanks-to-ai-but-also-says-legitimately-people-are-like-wow-this-is-a-bit-scary">made the same prediction</a> earlier this year.

Why It Matters: Yuan's comments on work-life balance mirror those made by other leading figures in the tech and business landscape. Billionaire investor Mark Cuban recently highlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/45939593/mark-cuban-challenges-concept-of-work-life-balance-for-high-achievers-not-working-would-be-a-sacrifice">amount of work</a> needed to succeed in a given field. "People are like, ‘I need a work-life balance.' If you want to work 9-to-5, you can have work-life balance. If you want to crush the game, whatever game you're in, there's somebody working 24 hours a day to kick your a&#x2A;&#x2A;," he said.
In 2024, former President Barack Obama made a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45709843/barack-obama-once-said-work-life-balance-isnt-always-possible-if-you-want-to-be-successful-you-can-have-it-all-but-you-cant-have-it-all-at-once">similar observation</a>: "If you want to be excellent at anything—sports, music, business, politics—there&#8217;s going to be times of your life when you&#8217;re out of balance, where you&#8217;re just working and you&#8217;re single-minded."
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;founder&nbsp;Jeff Bezos&nbsp;shared a slightly different perspective, advocating for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39383085/for-jeff-bezos-work-life-balance-is-debilitating-but-also-doesnt-want-to-be-the-guy-who-drains-all-t">"work-life harmony,"</a> where being satisfied with one's career and fulfilled at home positively impacts both spheres.

Zoom CEO Eric Yuan Dismisses Work-Life Balance: 'Work Is life, Life Is Work'—With One Important Caveat

Taking out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) used to feel like a no-brainer—rates were low, home values were rising, and tapping into your equity was one of the cheapest ways to borrow. But here in June 2025, the picture looks a lot more complicated. HELOC rates have more than doubled in just a few years, averaging 8.22%, and while there are signs of relief on the horizon, the broader economy still feels fragile. The Federal Reserve is holding rates steady while inflation lingers, housing inventory is climbing, and whispers of a mild recession are getting louder. At the same time, American homeowners are sitting on more equity than ever before, and new options have emerged—like fixed-rate HELOCs, equity-sharing agreements, and alternatives that work even if your credit isn't perfect. So is now actually a good time to pull the trigger on a HELOC? The answer depends on your goals, your risk tolerance, and which route you take to access your home's value.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Current HELOC Landscape</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Interest Rates: Still High, But Trending Down</h3>
HELOC rates have climbed steeply over the last few years, largely mirroring the Federal Reserve's aggressive stance on inflation. From rates below 4% in 2021 to over 8% today, borrowers are facing much higher costs to access their home equity. But there are subtle but important shifts happening. Some lenders have begun offering rates as low as 6.49% APR for well-qualified borrowers, especially those with strong credit and low loan-to-value ratios. For example, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/rate-com">Guaranteed Rate currently offers some of the most competitive HELOCs on the market</a>, including streamlined digital applications and flexible draw terms that make it easier to tap equity without a full refinance. And across the board, average rates have dipped slightly from their 2024 peaks—down from the 8.3% range to roughly 8.14% in some lender surveys.
For context, borrowing $50,000 today costs over $100 less per month than it did this time last year, thanks to that modest rate drop. That drop may continue if the Fed starts cutting rates later this year—but that's far from guaranteed.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Policy and Inflation Pressures</h3>
Since most HELOCs have variable interest rates tied to the prime rate (which tracks closely with the Fed funds rate), the Federal Reserve's decisions matter a great deal. Right now, the Fed has signaled its intent to hold rates steady in the 4.25%–4.5% range through the end of Q3 2025, citing persistent inflation and mixed signals on growth. Core PCE inflation remains stubbornly above target at 2.5%, while the overall economic growth outlook has been revised downward to just 1.4% for the year. With the chance of a recession by early 2026 now estimated at 36%, some analysts expect the Fed to begin easing rates by late 2025—though timing and scale remain uncertain.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Home Equity and Housing Market Health</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Americans Are Sitting on Record Home Equity</h3>
Despite rate pressures, one thing's certain: homeowners have more tappable equity than ever. Recent data shows that 48 million U.S. homeowners have access to a combined $11.5 trillion in usable equity, with average equity per household sitting at $313,000. That's a substantial cushion for borrowers looking to fund home renovations, pay off higher-interest debt, or simply have a rainy-day buffer. In fact, second-lien borrowing (which includes HELOCs) grew 22% year-over-year in Q1 2025, reaching nearly $25 billion in new draws. That growth suggests strong consumer demand, despite rising borrowing costs.
For those with good credit and stable income, a traditional HELOC through lenders like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/rate-com">Guaranteed Rate can be a straightforward way to leverage that equity</a>. But if your credit score is less than perfect, traditional lenders may hesitate. In that case, <a href="http://pointdigitalfinance.sjv.io/2aJavg">Point.com offers a different solution</a>—an equity-sharing agreement where you get a lump sum of cash now, in exchange for a share of your home&#8217;s future appreciation. No monthly payments. No interest. And it&#8217;s available to many borrowers who wouldn't qualify for a conventional HELOC.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Housing Market Outlook: A Tenuous Balance</h3>
The housing market in mid-2025 is at something of a crossroads. On one hand, price appreciation has slowed to a crawl, with forecasts calling for 0%–3% growth for the year. On the other, inventory has surged—up more than 30% year-over-year—adding supply-side pressure that could temper further gains. While there are no signs of an imminent crash, many economists warn that a soft correction in home values is possible if economic conditions deteriorate. For HELOC borrowers, that introduces a key risk: declining home values could reduce your available credit or even lead lenders to freeze or lower your line of credit mid-term.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Weighing the Pros and Cons</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why a HELOC Might Make Sense Right Now</h3>
From a purely financial standpoint, HELOCs still offer compelling benefits—especially compared to alternatives. Credit cards are currently averaging around 24% APR, and personal loans hover near 12.4%. That makes even an 8% HELOC feel like a bargain in relative terms. Moreover, most HELOCs come with an interest-only draw period (typically 10 years), offering lower monthly payments and more cash flow flexibility during that phase. And if the Fed does eventually pivot to rate cuts later in the year or in 2026, HELOC borrowers could see their rates drop, making this an attractive entry point for those with short-term needs.
Need a streamlined process? Guaranteed Rate lets you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/rate-com">check your HELOC eligibility</a> and compare offers entirely online—making it a great starting point for anyone looking to run the numbers before committing.
And for those with less-than-ideal credit or irregular income, <a href="http://pointdigitalfinance.sjv.io/2aJavg">Point.com offers a unique path to unlock your equity without adding a monthly payment to your budget</a>. It&#8217;s especially appealing if you're sitting on equity but want to avoid the risks of rising variable rates or repayment pressure in an uncertain economy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tax Advantages</h3>
If you're using the funds to renovate or improve your home, the interest on your HELOC could be tax-deductible—subject to IRS rules. That can further reduce your effective borrowing cost, especially if you're itemizing deductions. Just keep in mind that Point&#8217;s model is different—it doesn't generate interest payments at all, so there's no deduction, but also no added monthly obligation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Risks and Considerations</h3>
Still, there are very real risks to entering into a variable-rate borrowing product in a time of economic uncertainty. Should inflation worsen or the Fed delay rate cuts, your monthly payments could rise over time—especially once the draw period ends and full repayment begins. That &#8220;payment shock&#8221; has caught many off guard in the past, particularly in rising-rate environments.
And because your home is the collateral, defaulting on a HELOC has much steeper consequences than falling behind on a credit card. In the worst-case scenario, you could lose your property. For borrowers with tight budgets or unpredictable income, the alternative model offered by Point.com might feel safer—since there are no monthly payments at all. You repay when you sell or refinance, and the company shares in the home&#8217;s appreciation (or depreciation, if values fall).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should You Get a HELOC Right Now?</h2>
If you have strong credit, stable income, and a clear use for the funds, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/rate-com">a HELOC can still be one of the most cost-effective ways to borrow</a>. The ability to draw only what you need, when you need it, remains a major plus.
But <a href="http://pointdigitalfinance.sjv.io/2aJavg">if you're nervous about variable rates, or your financial picture doesn't align with the typical underwriting process, Point.com offers a compelling alternative</a>. You still unlock your equity, but you do it without taking on new monthly debt—a rare option in today's credit market.
In short, now can be a good time to access your home equity. But how you do it matters just as much as when. Compare your options, run the numbers, and choose the strategy that fits your financial life—not just the current headlines.

Is Now the Right Time to Get a HELOC? What June 2025 Homeowners Need to Know

A key tax proposal in President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45764422/white-house-says-trump-is-sticking-to-the-big-beautiful-bill-despite-elon-musks-sharp-criticism-it-doesnt-change-the-presidents-opinion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;big, beautiful bill&#8221;</a> has analysts raising alarms, warning that it could dissuade foreign investors and deplete global confidence in the U.S.
What Happened: The provision, referred to as section 899, targets countries imposing taxes the Trump administration views as discriminatory toward American companies. The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/16/donald-trump-revenge-tax-could-threaten-foreign-investment-into-us-analysts-say">reports</a> that the provision authorizes the U.S. to levy escalating taxes starting at 5% and rising to 20% on individuals, firms and investors from countries that impose "unfair foreign taxes" on American entities.
These include digital services taxes and diverted profits taxes, which many European nations currently apply. The bill views this as retaliation and aims to recoup losses and pressure trade partners. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45581297/trumps-big-beautiful-3-8-trillion-bill-squeaks-through-house-expert-says-it-will-boost-the-economy-in-the-short-term-but-worsen-deficits">It passed the House</a> and now awaits a Senate vote.

Why It Matters: Max Yoeli of Chatham House warned the measure "threatens to further alienate foreign investors" by marring the U.S.&#8217;s traditional openness. UniCredit noted the policy could backfire, as many foreign governments, especially in Europe, hold vast quantities of U.S. assets.
Goldman Sachs analysts added that UK-based firms are especially vulnerable, with nearly a third of FTSE 100 revenue tied to the U.S.
Some companies may even consider changing their listing from the London Stock Exchange to New York to avoid penalties, particularly if they already have many U.S.-based shareholders.
"This could transform a trade war into a capital war," warned Deutsche Bank's George Saravelos.
Last week, top executives from major multinational corporations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45833008/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-triggers-corporate-lobbying-blitz-in-washington-as-70-firms-push-to-kill-section-899-report">arrived at Capitol Hill</a> to lobby against the implementation of Section 899.

Palmer Luckey, the founder of defense technology startup&nbsp;Anduril Industries, has reportedly backed a cryptocurrency-friendly banking startup that aims to revolutionize the financial sector.
What Happened: Luckey is backing a budding&nbsp;financial firm that aims to&nbsp;provide &#8220;stability&#8221; to Silicon Valley,&nbsp;The New York Post&nbsp;<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/13/business/andurils-palmer-luckey-plots-erebor-digital-bank-startup-sources/">reported</a> on Friday, citing insiders. The firm&#8217;s main objective is to assist tech entrepreneurs in growing their businesses, rather than focusing on maximizing returns on deposits.
Luckey is said to be partnering on the bank startup with tech investor and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) co-founder Joe Lonsdale

The startup, currently named &#8220;Erebor,&#8221; is a reference to&nbsp;the mountain where the dragon&nbsp;Smaug keeps his gold in J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s 1937 novel &#8220;The Hobbit.&#8221; However, insiders have hinted that the name might not be final and could be subject to change.
In addition to cash, Erebor plans to accept deposits in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stablecoin">stablecoins</a>, a form of digital currency whose value is tethered to a fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar. The project is in its early stages, and the plans have not been finalized, according to the report.
Benzinga didn&#8217;t immediately hear back from Anduril and Lonsdale's venture firm, 8VC, on the matter.
Why It Matters: This comes just days after Luckey confirmed plans for Anduril&#8217;s initial public offering. 
During an interview, Luckey emphasized that Anduril is being run <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/ipos/25/06/45877601/anduril-ceo-palmer-luckey-confirms-ipo-plans-to-compete-for-trillion-dollar-defense-contracts-we-are-definitely-going-to-be-a-publicly-traded">&#8220;to be the shape of a publicly traded company,</a>&#8221; highlighting the need for public status to compete for substantial defense contracts
The public listing plans come as Anduril <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45810158/anduril-raises-2-5-billion-at-30-5-billion-valuation-doubling-in-a-year-as-defense-contracts-grow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reaches new valuation heights</a>. The company recently raised $2.5 billion in fresh capital, catapulting its valuation to $30.5 billion. According to Forbes, his net worth was <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/palmer-luckey/">estimated </a>to be $3.6 billion as of this writing.
