Avis Budget Group shares are trading higher after the company announced the appointment of Daniel Cunha as Chief Financial Officer.

When it comes to investing for income in retirement, many people are looking for safety. That often leads them to consider low-risk options like bonds or Guaranteed Investment Certificates — GICs. But according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45975687/25000-monthly-care-costs-suze-orman-shows-how-long-term-care-insurance-can-protect-your-savings">Suze Orman</a>, personal finance expert and host of the "Women &amp; Money" podcast, not all fixed-income investments offer the same benefits.
In a <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-i-don-t-trust-my-husband-with-money-what-should-i-do">recent episode</a>, Orman shared why she prefers bonds over GICs — and what investors, especially those approaching or in retirement, should understand before choosing between the two.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is a GIC?</h2>
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-investments-with-guaranteed-returns">GIC</a> is a savings product commonly offered by Canadian banks and financial institutions, which are available in the U.S as well. When you invest in a GIC, you&#8217;re lending the bank your money for a set period — often one to five years. In return, you're promised a guaranteed interest rate and the full return of your original investment when the term ends.
"You&#8217;re essentially lending a bank or a financial institution money for a fixed period of time," Orman explained. The appeal is the safety. GICs are low-risk, and in Canada, they're generally insured up to $100,000.
But that safety comes at a cost.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GICs Offer Lower Returns and Less Flexibility</h2>
Orman didn't mince words about the downside. "You generally get a lower return in comparison to a bond," she said. While the return is guaranteed, it's often less than what you could earn with other fixed-income investments.
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
Another limitation is liquidity. Most GICs lock in your funds until the end of the term. If you need to access your money early, you may face penalties or restrictions.
"You usually don't get your interest rate until it matures," Orman said. "It&#8217;s not like a bond that if interest rates go down, the value of the bond goes up, that you can easily cash out of."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Suze Orman Favors Bonds</h2>
Orman prefers bonds for one key reason: flexibility. "You can buy and sell them any time you want," she said. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/05/45699780/catastrophe-bonds-surge-diversify-your-portfolio-with-alternative-investments">Bonds</a> may also offer higher interest rates than GICs, depending on market conditions and the type of bond.
And there&#8217;s potential for added value. If the value of the bond increases, investors could potentially sell the bond at a profit before maturity.
However, it&#8217;s worth noting that bonds do carry some risk. Their value can fluctuate with interest rate changes, and unlike GICs, they&#8217;re not insured.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Choosing What's Right for You</h2>
Ultimately, Orman acknowledged that the right choice depends on your goals. "If you like that your principal is protected, you like the guaranteed return… then just stick with your GICs," she said.
For investors who prioritize security over growth, GICs might still be a solid choice. But for those looking for more flexibility and potentially higher returns, bonds could be worth a closer look.
As always, it's a good idea to speak with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> before making changes to your portfolio — especially when planning for retirement income.

'You Generally Get A Lower Return With A Guaranteed Investment Certificate In Comparison To A Bond' – Suze Orman Shares Her Preference

Wolfspeed Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOLF#NYSE">WOLF</a>) shares plunged over 30% on Monday following reports suggesting the company plans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46004888/whats-going-on-with-wolfspeed-shares-today">to file for bankruptcy by July 1</a>.
What To Know: According to<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-23/wolfspeed-plans-bankruptcy-after-clinching-deal-with-creditors"> Bloomberg</a>, the semiconductor manufacturer reached a restructuring support agreement with key creditors, including Renesas Electronics, to reduce its $6.6 billion debt burden by about $4.6 billion. The deal also aims to cut Wolfspeed's annual interest expenses by 60% and give control of the company to convertible noteholders.
The bankruptcy plan, which has been in the works since at least May, comes as Wolfspeed grapples with stalled government funding and policy shifts under the Trump administration. 
Although the company previously secured a $750 million award from the CHIPS and Science Act to support its production expansion, it has only received partial funding and remains locked in negotiations with federal officials.
Under the proposed restructuring, Wolfspeed shareholders would retain up to 5% ownership of the reorganized company. The deal includes Renesas converting a $2.1 billion deposit into convertible notes, equity and warrants. 
In addition, certain existing noteholders have committed to providing $275 million in new second-lien convertible bonds. Wolfspeed expects to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of the third quarter, pending court approval.
WOLF Price Action: Wolfspeed shares were down 33.2% at 60 cents at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Moelis shares are trading higher after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock from Underweight to Overweight and raised its price target from $42 to $68.

Kroger Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) shares are trading higher by 2.39% to $73.69 Monday afternoon. The company last week reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46030486/grocery-giant-kroger-cfo-raises-identical-sales-outlook-but-maintains-caution-due-to-tariff-uncertainty">earnings</a>. The company also received a number of analyst rating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KR/analyst-ratings">updates</a> following the earnings print.
What To Know: Adjusted EPS came in at $1.49, topping the $1.46 consensus estimate, while identical sales excluding fuel rose 3.2%, exceeding projections despite ongoing consumer spending headwinds.
Quarterly revenue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/46054132/kroger-posts-q1-beat-analyst-raises-price-target-to-reflect-continued-growth-market-share-gains">totaled</a> $45.12 billion, slightly below expectations, but gross margin improved to 23% from 22% a year ago, aided by the sale of Kroger Specialty Pharmacy and lower supply chain costs.
CFO David Kennerley noted strong momentum, prompting Kroger to raise its full-year identical sales guidance (ex-fuel) from 2%-3% to 2.25%-3.25%, while maintaining conservative profit projections due to macroeconomic uncertainty.
Telsey Advisory Group analyst Joseph Feldman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/46054132/kroger-posts-q1-beat-analyst-raises-price-target-to-reflect-continued-growth-market-share-gains">reiterated</a> an Outperform rating and lifted his price target from $73 to $82, citing the company's strong execution, robust loyalty program, digital enhancements and brand strength. Other analysts also boosted their price targets, with Deutsche Bank, UBS, Guggenheim, and Morgan Stanley all raising their views.
Feldman expects continued growth and market share gains through expanded geography, personalized offerings and paid memberships, positioning Kroger well for 2025 and beyond.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, KR has a 52-week high of $74.11 and a 52-week low of $49.04.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy KR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Kroger&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Staples sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Why Kroger Stock Hit A New 52-Week High Today

Tensions in the Middle East aren't just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">fueling oil prices</a> &#8211; they're shaking the crypto charts too. As Brent crude flirts with volatility, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) briefly dipped below $90,000 over the weekend before bouncing back Monday, a move that James Toledano, COO of Unity Wallet, says is anything but coincidental.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Crude Awakening: Oil's Growing Pull On Bitcoin</h2>
"Even the whiff of higher oil prices can send the price of a Bitcoin lower," says Toledano. He points to the direct link between rising energy costs and mining profitability &#8211; a vital backbone of the Bitcoin ecosystem. 
"Higher oil prices raise energy costs, directly impacting Bitcoin mining profitability and network dynamics."
That means when oil flares, Bitcoin miners feel the heat. The cost to produce each BTC rises, potentially setting a higher price floor, but also opening the door to more volatility. That dynamic was on full display this weekend as geopolitical risk sent crude prices higher and Bitcoin re-tested recent lows.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Risk-Off Reflex &#8211; And A Rapid Recovery</h2>
Beyond mining costs, Bitcoin continues to behave like a risk asset, pulling back when markets turn jittery and investors scramble for liquidity. But the story doesn't end there.
"Bitcoin's relatively mild decline during recent market routs… and its growing correlation with gold signals a maturing narrative," says Toledano. 
Institutional money is staying put, even during macro panic. And just like equities, Bitcoin is starting to bounce back quicker, suggesting it&#8217;s increasingly part of the traditional financial mix.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Matters For Traders</h2>
The takeaway? In 2025, oil isn't just fueling your car—it's steering your crypto portfolio. Toledano says oil-informed strategies now offer "higher utility gains" in Bitcoin trading, a nod to the commodity's rising influence in crypto models.
With Middle East tensions still simmering and crude potentially spiking again, don't be surprised if Bitcoin's next move is more Exxon than Ethereum.

Li Auto, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company reportedly filed for its Li i6 SUV model, with a launch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LI">expected in September</a>.
What To Know: The Li i6, a five-seat all-electric SUV, has been included in China's latest vehicle catalog of vehicles pending approval, signaling potential regulatory clearance ahead of its anticipated market debut, according to <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/20/li-auto-files-for-i6-launch-sept/">CnEVPost</a>. 
China&#8217;s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the catalog, which is considered one of the last regulatory procedures before a vehicle can be deemed ready for sale in the country. The company reportedly plans to launch the model, which is its second SUV model, in September.
Li Auto said the i6 will serve as a mainstream purchasing option and targets buyers considering luxury mid-size SUVs such as the Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3 and Audi Q5. The vehicle is expected to be equipped with Li Auto's AD Max intelligent driving system and powered by an 800 V platform.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy LI Stock</h3>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Li Auto &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
LI Price Action: At the time of publication, Li Auto shares were up 7.84% at $28.05, according to data from <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.benzinga.com/pro/&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiKprHjgIiOAxUTjYkEHexJEcUQFnoECBAQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw0xIsPvjIcIIsWev01-6zR2">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Behind the Scenes of Adobe's Latest Options Trends

In a year dominated by ongoing market volatility, increasing geopolitical risks, and a highly unpredictable rate environment, one constant has remained in the investment world: Vanguard&#8217;s dominant presence in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF space</a>. 
The company has attracted over $150 billion in ETF inflows during the year to date (as of May 18), per FactSet data cited by Etf.com, headed by the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), which alone accounted for $82 billion. This figure not only tops all other ETFs industry-wide but also underscores a growing divergence in investor behavior: a decisive shift toward low-cost, rules-based strategies.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46060008/why-active-fixed-income-etfs-quietly-dominate-in-2025">Why Active Fixed-Income ETFs Quietly Dominate In 2025</a>
As asset managers grapple with fee pressures, intensifying competition, and an increasingly discerning investor base, Vanguard&#8217;s ascent is proving to be a cautionary tale for traditional fund houses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fee Discipline Meets Market Discipline</h2>
The secret to Vanguard&#8217;s success lies in a framework prioritizing cost minimization and index tracking above tactical play and thematic story. In an environment where returns are increasingly hard to forecast, investors are seeking out funds such as VOO and Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTI#NYSE">VTI</a>) for their reliability, scale, and economies of scale.
VOO, with a mere 0.03% expense ratio, offers the same underlying index as SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) (with expense ratio of 0.09%) but at a materially lower cost. This compounds over time, especially for long-term investors, and makes Vanguard&#8217;s ETFs a compelling vehicle for buy-and-hold investors.
Outside of VOO, vehicles like VTI, Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VO#NYSE">VO</a>), and Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) have each attracted billions of new assets. Combined, Vanguard&#8217;s equity ETFs collectively have secured more inflows than some entire ETF families have in total assets managed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Global Diversification And The Rebalancing Trend</h2>
Though U.S. large-cap equities are still the focal point, Vanguard&#8217;s international and fixed-income ETFs are also coming back into favor. To date, the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VXUS#NASDAQ">VXUS</a>) and Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGK#NYSE">VGK</a>) have attracted $6.6 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively.
In fixed income, the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>), the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCIT#NASDAQ">VCIT</a>) and the Vanguard Total International Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNDX#NASDAQ">BNDX</a>) show increased reallocation into bonds as investors rebalance and position for a changing interest rate cycle.
The inclusion of five non-U.S. equity or bond ETFs in Vanguard&#8217;s top 10 by inflows for 2025 indicates a mature investor base that is increasingly looking to diversify across regions and asset classes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Structural Advantage In The ETF Arms Race</h2>
Vanguard&#8217;s dominance also reflects structural advantages. While some rival ETFs have more than one share class, Vanguard funds exist under a patented mutual fund–based share class design, which creates more tax efficiency, a feature that has become particularly valuable for taxable accounts and long-term investors.
Meanwhile, rival issuers like BlackRock&#8217;s iShares and State Street&#8217;s SPDRs have had a checkered record in 2025. Even with advances in active ETFs and thematic strategies, a number of these products have failed to keep pace with Vanguard&#8217;s capacity to command sticky, long-duration capital.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Implications For Fund Management</h2>
Vanguard&#8217;s 2025 ETF flows reflect a wider, structural shift towards transforming the future of fund management: 
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Fee compression is a permanent fixture.</li>
<li>Passive investing remains on the rise even as active ETFs increase in count.</li>
<li>Scale, brand credibility, and price leadership increasingly propel asset capture.</li>
</ol>
Legacy asset managers dependent on high-fee products must take away a blunt message: the market no longer compensates for complexity or exclusivity. It is paying for accessibility, transparency, and discipline.

Beyond The Numbers: 12 Analysts Discuss Micron Technology Stock

Universal Music Group

소니 뮤직의 최고경영자(CEO)인 롭 스트링거(Rob Stringer)는 뮤직 인더스트리의 변화하는 모습에 대해 통찰을 제공했는데, 그 중에서도 틱톡(TikTok)과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37900813/the-elvis-act-tennessees-bold-move-to-protect-musicians-in-the-ai-era">인공지능(AI)에 대해</a> 논의했다.
스트링거는 파이낸셜 타임스와의 <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6e4334b0-3c35-43a8-9e9f-13547b912585">인터뷰</a>에서 소니 그룹 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>)의 소니 뮤직은 유니버설 뮤직 그룹 NV (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMGNF#OTC">UMGNF</a>)가 최근에 틱톡에서 음악을 제거하기로 한 것과 유사하게 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37428368/universal-music-pulls-4-million-songs-from-tiktok-tells-artists-they-simply-do-not-value-yo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이 플랫폼에서 자사의 콘텐츠를 뺄 수</a> 있다는 가능성을 부인하지 않았다.
또한 스트링거는 예로 2022년 바이트댄스의 레소(Resso)에서 음악을 제거하는 결정과 같이 아티스트들의 이해를 지키기 위해 과거 소니의 음악을 제거한 것을 언급했다.
그는 틱톡이 음악을 홍보하기 위한 도구라는 주장을 비판했는데, &#8220;이것은 바이트댄스의 ‘이익 센터&#8217;의 일부이며, 그러므로 우리는 이익을 나눠야 한다&#8221;고 주장했다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37543179/tiktoks-licensing-predicament-expiring-music-publishers-deal-amplifies-universal-music-grou">TikTok의 라이선스 관련 문제</a> 
스트링거는 음악에서 AI에 대한 논란에 대해 &#8220;최고의 음악은 AI를 가장 독창적으로 사용하는 것이다. 그것은 너바나 노래를 부르는 가짜 드레이크가 아닐 것이다. 그것은 완전히 독특한 것을 [만드는] 14세 어린이가 될 것이다&#8221;고 밝혔다.
그는 기업들이 AI를 활용하면서 디지털 시대의 아티스트들을 보상하는 중요성을 강조했는데, 특히 &#8220;그들은 누군가의 창조성을 토대로 [AI]를 구축하고 있다&#8221;며 경고했다.
그는 덧붙여 &#8220;만약 어떤 거대 기업이 모든 콘텐츠를 가져다가 블렌더에 넣는다면, 아티스트들은 그에 대해 보상을 받아야 한다&#8221;고 덧붙였다.
스트링거의 발언은 새로운 기술의 창의적 잠재력과 아티스트의 권리와 혁신을 지지하는 균형있는 접근을 옹호하면서, 공정한 보상에 대한 더 큰 산업 논쟁에 대한 근본적인 의견을 제시했다.
