China&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce has dismissed rumors of ongoing trade discussions with the United States, labeling such claims as unfounded.
What Happened: The Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Thursday, has denied any ongoing bilateral trade negotiations with the U.S.. The ministry stressed that any claims of progress in such talks have "no factual basis." <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3307745/china-denies-rumours-us-trade-talks-says-claims-have-no-factual-basis?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
"At present there are absolutely no negotiations on the economy and trade between China and the U.S.," confirmed He, as cited by CNBC. 
Ministry Spokesman He Yadong, during a press conference, called on the U.S. to listen to international and domestic calls for reason. &#8220;If&nbsp;the U.S. truly wants to&nbsp;resolve the issue, it should&nbsp;heed rational voices from the&nbsp;international community and domestic stakeholders,&nbsp;completely abolish all unilateral tariffs&nbsp;on China, and find a&nbsp;solution through equal dialogue,&#8221; Yadong stated.
The commerce ministry's comments echoed those of Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun, who said on Wednesday that there were no ongoing talks, according to state media.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s response comes in the wake of recent remarks made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at a closed-door investor summit hosted by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. Bessent&#8217;s comments on tariffs and the ongoing trade tensions with China. The Treasury Secretary had reportedly characterized the high tariffs as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal">unsustainable</a>" and stated that he expects ‘de-escalation' in U.S.-China tariffs. 
Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at a potential review of the &#8220;high tariffs&#8221; placed on Chinese goods since the start of his second term. He also noted that senior officials from Beijing had reached out to Washington to lay the groundwork for possible talks.
Furthermore, President Trump recently pledged a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal"> significant reduction</a> in the high tariffs placed on Chinese goods, although they will not be completely abolished.

Why ServiceNow Shares Are Trading Higher By 9%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

As the stock market reels with the changing macroeconomic conditions, Wells Fargo is advising long-term investors to capitalize on the recent market pullback by favoring high-quality equities, particularly within the energy sector and large- and mid-capitalization stocks.
What Happened: Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo, acknowledged that &#8220;With the pace of change on the tariff and geopolitical fronts moving fast and sometimes adjusting on a day-to-day basis, investors are wondering what they might do to help navigate the uncertainties.&#8221;
He has advised investors to maintain their exposure in higher-quality equities and fixed income. He highlights the importance of making a plan to weather the market volatility while seeking growth opportunities. &#8220;The first rule of thumb for our plan is to focus on quality in a diversified manner.&#8221;
Since the larger-capitalization companies have stronger balance sheets, more dependable cash flows, easy access to credit, and an ability to buy back shares, Wren says, &#8220;We continue to favor large- and mid-capitalization equities over small-cap.&#8221;
Furthermore, he highlights that Wells Fargo favours the energy sector and also has favorable ratings on Information Technology, Financials, and Communication Services.
&#8220;We believe these sectors feature long-term growth drivers and robust balance sheets. We suggest investors put funds to work in these sectors at current market levels. In our view, the pullback in stocks offers long-term investors an attractive entry point.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Additionally, Wren forecasts that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates three times this year &#8220;if growth slows and the unemployment rate ticks higher as we expect.&#8221;
Talking about fixed income investments, he adds, &#8220;Our approach in the fixed-income market is to be selective and focus on investment-grade corporate bonds and essential-service municipal bonds in the three to seven-year maturity range.&#8221;
According to him, the near-term road will &#8220;likely be bumpy,&#8221; with policy and geopolitical headlines driving financial markets on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Wednesday. The SPY was up 1.55% to $535.42, while the QQQ advanced 2.27% to $454.561, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
In premarket on Thursday, SPY was 0.42% lower, whereas QQQ dropped 0.60%.
As of Wednesday, the Nasdaq 100 index was down 15.88% from its previous high of 22,222.61 points. The S&amp;P 500 index was 12.55% lower, as compared to the last record high of 6,147.43 points. On the other hand, Dow Jones was 12.13% down from its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points.

Market Dip 'Attractive Entry Point,' Says Wells Fargo—Energy, Large And Mid-Cap Stock Favored

Several high-profile X users found that their visibility on the platform had plummeted after they publicly sparred with owner Elon Musk, raising new questions about how power is exercised on the platform once known for its pro-free speech stance.
What Happened: Many far-right influencers reported a drastic and continued decline in their reach on X after openly criticizing Musk in December. Among them were Anastasia Maria Loupis, Laura Loomer, and Owen Shroyer. All three had participated in online feuds with Musk over his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42779624/bernie-sanders-says-elon-musk-wrong-on-tech-guest-worker-program-h1-b-visa-purpose-is-to-replace-good-paying-american-jobs">backing of U.S. visa programs.</a>
Only Days later, the reach of their posts dropped sharply, according to data verified <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/04/23/business/elon-musk-x-suppression-laura-loomer.html">by</a> The New York Times. Before the feuds, their accounts were viewed hundreds of thousands of times every day.

Why It Matters: The decline in visibility has generated doubts about whether Musk, who owns X and labels himself a "free speech absolutist," is silently implementing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/03/26006727/elon-musk-says-he-is-a-free-speech-absolutist-after-refusing-to-block-russian-new-sources-on-starlin">platform's tools to hit back at critics</a>. 
Ari Cohn, a lawyer at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, said "Don't sit here and cloak yourself in the First Amendment and free speech, and then do things like that."  
While X has previously declared that it does not curtail <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41242624/elon-musk-vows-to-defend-freedom-of-speech-but-within-the-boundaries-of-the-law-as-x-gets-brazil-gre">users on the basis of opinion</a>, Musk has admitted that blocking or muting an account can dramatically decrease its visibility. 
Musk also indicated that users struck off from X's premium program—such as Loomer and Shroyer—would no longer have algorithmic advantages, making it more difficult for their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42805588/elon-musk-announces-changes-to-x-over-negativity-concerns-too-much-negativity-is-being-pushed">content to be seen or monetized</a>.
In an interview reflecting on her experience, Loupis said, "It has turned out to be all lies from him," citing Musk's earlier promises to champion open discourse.

Elon Musk's Critics On X See Sudden Drop In Visibility, Raising Questions About Platform's Free Speech Commitments

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="900" height="600" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/24062841/Jianxi-Bio.png" alt="" class="wp-image-11456" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/24062841/Jianxi-Bio.png 900w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/24062841/Jianxi-Bio-300x200.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/24062841/Jianxi-Bio-768x512.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></figure>
The company enjoys a big share of China's anti-tetanus market but is looking to diversify into antidotes for rabies and snake bites to drive future growth&nbsp;
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>The company relies on human tetanus jabs for more than 90% of its revenue, but immunization programs have left little room for the Chinese market to grow</li>
<li>The majority shareholders who own nearly 77% of the company's equity have received more than 100 million yuan in dividends over the last few years</li>
</ul>
Chinese biopharma companies are beating a path to the Hong Kong equity market after an IPO upswing, with a leading provider of anti-tetanus injections among the latest applicants.
Jiangxi Institute of Biological Products Inc., China's biggest supplier of tetanus anti-toxin for human use, filed to&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/app/sehk/2025/107292/documents/sehk25041101820.pdf">list</a>&nbsp;its shares on the Hong Kong exchange within months of &nbsp;paying out a big dividend to its close family circle of majority owners.
The company, which relies heavily on the tetanus market for its income, said the IPO proceeds would be used to build its capacity and develop other products such as snake anti-venoms and rabies vaccines for animals.
Jiangxi Institute will be hoping for a stellar debut in a recovering Hong Kong market, after shares in immunotherapy specialist Duality Biotherapeutics Inc. (9606.HK) more than doubled on their first day of trading earlier this month.
The latest IPO candidate from the biopharma industry specializes in immunization agents and treatments targeting dangerous toxins, gaining more than 90% of its revenue from tetanus-related sales. &nbsp;Its market share for human tetanus products last year was 65.8% in China and 36.6% globally, according to a Frost &amp; Sullivan report cited in the IPO filing.
In the three financial years through 2024, Jiangxi Institute reported revenues of 142 million yuan ($19.45 million), 198 million yuan and 221 million yuan. The amount derived from tetanus anti-toxin rose from 133 million yuan in 2022 to 184 million yuan the following year and 206 million yuan in 2024.
Profits increased from 26.47 million yuan to 55.48 million yuan and 75.14 million over the same timeframe. However, the room for further market growth is limited as developed countries have almost eradicated tetanus from the human population through immunization campaigns. More than 90% of the Chinese population has been vaccinated since an anti-tetanus program was launched in 1979. Besides anti-toxins for human use, the company also sells veterinary tetanus supplies and provides tech services, although these non-core activities together contributed less than 7% of total revenue last year.
Meanwhile, the company is also working on snake bite anti-venoms and immunoglobulins for equine rabies, while also licensing-in some other veterinary drugs. Its self-developed drug candidates are still at early pre-clinical stages, while the company expects the veterinary drugs obtained on license to be certified later this year.
Judging from a breakdown of company spending, R&amp;D investment is modest at 13.68 million yuan in 2024, far less than distribution expenses of 26.86 million yuan and administrative expenses of 32.35 million yuan in the same year.
The company traces its roots to 1969, when the Jiangxi branch of the Shanghai Institute of Biological Products was established. The firm came under the control of majority shareholder Jing Yue and her family in 2022 after several rounds of restructuring. Jing, 32, joined the company a year after obtaining a bachelor's degree from New York University in 2016. She now serves as executive director and chairman of the board, while her younger sister, Jing Ruihua, works as executive director responsible for personnel matters. According to the listing documents, the family controls a stake of 76.64% in Jiangxi Institute through two companies.
The proposed Hong Kong IPO is not the company's first listing attempt. In June last year the firm filed to join the over-the-counter NEEQ market, a forum for companies that do not meet the criteria for the main board. The application was withdrawn in August last year after no reply was sent to a regulatory questionnaire about shareholding arrangements and agreements over share buybacks or preferred stock purchases.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Pre-IPO payout</h4>
The company does not spend much on R&amp;D and its reserve of cash and cash equivalents had fallen to just 54.67 million yuan by the end of December 2024, after big dividend payouts in the past two years. In May and October of 2023 and in September 2024, the company paid out 10 million yuan, 76 million yuan and 40.10 million yuan in cash dividends totaling 126 million yuan. The sum exceeds the company's combined net profit for 2022 and 2023 at 81.95 million yuan. The Jing family pocketed more than 100 million yuan from the three dividend tranches based on the size of its stake.
The company raised 90 million yuan in earlier rounds of financing in 2020 and 2022, drawing investment from family networks and business contacts. After the latest investment round in March 2025, its shares were valued at 8.1 yuan, generating a market cap of around 2.2 billion yuan on 272 million issued shares.
The funds generated by the IPO, which is co-sponsored by CICC and CMS, will be invested in developing a range of products, expanding production facilities and optimizing technologies, according to the listing documents.
At the latest market valuation of 2.2 billion yuan, the stock is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 29 times, compared with 27 times for&nbsp;Hualan Biological Engineering&nbsp;(002007.SZ) , the industry leader for blood-based products and vaccines. But Hualan is way ahead in earnings, with a net profit exceeding 1 billion yuan in 2024. That means Jiangxi Institute may struggle to persuade investors to buy into a high valuation.

President Donald Trump has hinted at increasing the 25% tariff on Canadian automobile imports on Thursday, suggesting the U.S. auto industry would be better off without Canadian involvement.
What Happened: &#8220;I really don't want cars from Canada. So, when I put tariffs on Canada, they're paying 25%, but that could go up in terms of cars. When we put tariffs on, all we're doing is saying, ‘We don't want your cars, with all due respect.' We really want to make our own cars — which is what we're doing, in record numbers,&#8221; Trump said from the Oval Office. 
The comments come amid ongoing trade tensions after the Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44506345/trump-imposes-25-tariffs-on-auto-imports-says-this-will-continue-to-spur-growth-canada-eu-slam-the-move">imposed sweeping 25% tariffs</a> on all automobile imports earlier this month, with partial exemptions for vehicles produced under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t need anything from Canada,&#8221; said Trump, who previously suggested the country should become a U.S. state. He mentioned having constructive discussions with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney but did not comment on Canada&#8217;s upcoming election.

For U.S. automakers like General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), which rely heavily on cross-border supply chains, the tariffs represent billions in potential added costs.

The measures are part of Trump&#8217;s broader trade strategy that has also targeted Mexico and China, where tensions continue to escalate after recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal">implementation of 125% tariffs on Chinese imports</a>.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Earnings Scheduled For April 24, 2025

Elon Musk's BCI (Brain-Chip Interface) company Neuralink is reportedly eyeing an $8.5 billion pre-money valuation amid talks with potential investors.
What Happened: The company plans to raise over $500 million in the latest funding round, which could translate to a $9 billion post-money valuation for the company, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/musk-s-neuralink-said-to-eye-fundraise-at-8-5-billion-valuation">noted</a> in a report on Wednesday.
Sources familiar with the matter say that the company has already begun talks with investors as it looks to set up another funding round, though nothing is set in stone as of yet, the report suggests. Neuralink was previously valued at $3.5 billion in the last funding round.
Neuralink did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Why It Matters: The report comes in as Elon Musk is touting Neuralink's capabilities. In a post on social media platform X, the billionaire shared how Neuralink will help <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44892867/elon-musk-says-neuralink-will-help-blind-people-see-again-will-exceed-the-best-human-eyes">"completely blind" people see</a> again.
Neuralink's technology has shown signs of success, with Noland Arbaugh, a 30-year-old man suffering from paralysis, demonstrating how he could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44358022/paralyzed-man-moves-objects-with-his-mind-thanks-to-elon-musks-brain-chip">control electronic devices</a> with his thoughts.
However, Neuralink also has its share of critics. Former White House Strategist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44891849/steve-bannon-says-elon-musk-is-evil-blasts-his-brain-chip-ambitions-as-technofeudalist-plot-to-hijack-humanitys-future">Steve Bannon criticized </a>Musk for his Neuralink ambitions. "Musk is attempting to disrupt humanity itself," he'd said.

Elon Musk's Neuralink Eyes $8.5 Billion Pre-Money Valuation In Latest Funding Round: Report

The European Union&#8217;s first major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44952117/apple-and-meta-fined-nearly-800-million-for-violating-european-unions-digital-markets-act">enforcement of its sweeping</a> Digital Markets Act has sparked political backlash in Washington — and could ignite a new front in U.S.-EU trade tensions.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the European Commission fined Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) €500 million (approximately $540 million) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) €200 million (about $216 million), accusing the tech giants of violating the bloc's new antitrust regulations aimed at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44534573/eu-to-issue-minimal-fines-to-apple-and-meta-to-avoid-retaliation-from-trump-administration">curbing digital dominance</a>.
In a statement first <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/23/european-fines-big-tech-trump-00306670">spotted</a> by Politico, Meta's global affairs chief Joel Kaplan argued the fine and the mandated changes to Meta's ad model "effectively impose a multi-billion-dollar tariff on Meta while requiring us to offer an inferior service."
In a statement to the publication, Apple called the decision "bad for the privacy and security of our users," adding that the DMA forces it to "give away our technology for free."
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44832468/snapchat-rejection-resurfaces-as-mark-zuckerberg-defends-meta-in-ftc-trial-and-the-tech-mogul-still-thinks-he-couldve-done-it-better-we-would-have-accelerated-their-growth">Mark Zuckerberg Defends Meta In FTC Trial Over $6 Billion Offer To Acquire Snapchat: &#8216;We Would Have Accelerated Their Growth&#8217;</a>
Kay Hazemi-Jebelli, senior director for Europe at the Chamber of Progress, said that the fines against Apple and Meta should serve to draw the U.S. administration's attention squarely to the Digital Markets Act.
Just hours after the fines were announced, the National Security Council under President Donald Trump responded forcefully, the report noted.
Spokesperson Brian Hughes labeled the EU's move "a novel form of economic extortion," adding, "Extraterritorial regulations that specifically target and undermine American companies&#8230; will not be tolerated by the United States."
Katie Harbath, a former public policy director at Meta, told the publication that Kaplan's reference to "tariffs" was a clear attempt to link the EU's tech regulations to Trump's broader 2025 trade agenda.
She added that the White House is unlikely to take serious action unless the EU expands its enforcement to include more tech companies like Elon Musk's X, which notably avoided penalties on Wednesday.
Why It's Important: The penalties are the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43917713/us-lawmakers-demand-eu-clarify-big-tech-regulations-that-may-target-american-companies">first issued under the DMA</a>, a 2022 law that took effect in March 2024, targeting so-called "gatekeepers" like Apple, Meta, and other large platforms accused of unfair business practices in Europe.
Apple and Meta now have 60 days to comply with the EU's decisions and modify their business practices, or they risk facing further recurring fines.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Meta shares rose 4%, closing at $520.27, while Apple stock climbed 2.43% to $204.60, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Meta currently holds a momentum rating of 46.05% and a growth rating of 74.99%, based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> Apple and other leading companies.

Dow Jumps Over 400 Points Amid China Tariff Hopes, Investor Fear Eases: Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Germany Current Assessment For April 86.4 Vs. 85.5 Est.; 85.7 Prior

Germany Business Expectations For April 87.4 Vs. 85.0 Est.; 87.7 Prior

International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) has forecasted a &#8220;minimal&#8221; tariff impact on its business while acknowledging not being &#8220;immune&#8221; to the Department of Government Efficiency-related initiatives during its first quarter earnings call.
What Happened: IBM&#8217;s CFO and Senior Vice President, James Kavanaugh, said that the company was exploring alternatives to mitigate any indirect effects because the direct tariff impact was &#8220;minimal.&#8221;
&#8220;Goods imported to the U.S. represent less than 5% of our overall spend, and under current U.S. tariff policy, the impact to IBM is minimal. While we have limited direct exposure outside the United States, we are tactically evaluating alternative sources and other strategy to mitigate tariffs,&#8221; he said.
Talking about the impact of DOGE-related initiatives, its Chairman, President, and CEO, Arvind Krishna, highlighted that its consulting business was &#8220;susceptible to discretionary pullbacks and DOGE-related initiatives.&#8221;
&#8220;We are not immune from all those activities just like everybody else,&#8221; he said, adding that few of IBM&#8217;s contracts were impacted in the first quarter. &#8220;You expect U.S. AID, where we did some work, was impacted, but not really in most other cases,&#8221; he added.
Additionally, CFO Kavanaugh clarified, &#8220;But our U.S. federal business is less than 5% of IBM&#8217;s total annual revenue. About 60% of that is Consulting, which is more susceptible to discretionary efficiency-type programs.&#8221;
&#8220;So while no one&#8217;s immune, we are absolutely focused on monitoring the dynamic process,&#8221; said the CFO.
