도널드 트럼프 대통령은 연준에 금리인하를 재차 촉구하면서 새로운 관세 도입에 따른 즉각적인 조치를 요구했다. 그의 입장은 이미 복잡한 경제 환경에 또 다른 불확실성을 더하고 있으며, 연준은 금리를 4.25~4.50%로 유지하기로 결정했지만 인플레이션과 성장 둔화에 대한 우려가 커지고 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continues to hover near key resistance, with traders closely watching support levels to avoid a <a href="http://deeper summer correction">deeper summer correction</a>.
What Happened: In an update in his <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/KevCapitalTA/posts">exclusive Patreon group</a>, prominent analyst Kevin highlighted that BTC has once again failed to break above the $106,800 resistance, a level that aligns with the macro 1.703 Fibonacci extension. 
After a 50% rally from cycle lows without a significant pullback, rejection at this level was anticipated.
Kevin pointed to recent golden crosses on both the daily and weekly timeframes (50/200 SMA and 21 EMA/20 SMA), typically followed by 7–10% corrections, and occasionally deeper ones. 
A fresh weekly hash ribbon buy signal—a historically reliable bullish indicator, has also flashed but often precedes short-term dips before upside continuation.
Despite bullish technical setups, Kevin noted mixed macro conditions and seasonal weakness in crypto markets. 
If Bitcoin fails to hold support between $100,000–$103,000, it could slide into a prolonged correction. 
If support holds, BTC could finally break through $106,800 and resume its upward trend.

Why It Matters: Daan Crypto Trades <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1930293971370291252">echoed</a> the uncertain near-term outlook, emphasizing that Bitcoin&#8217;s price has reliably followed a 4-year halving cycle, whether measured top-to-top or bottom-to-bottom.
He pushed back against speculation that this cycle will behave differently due to ETFs or broader market maturity, arguing that such claims were made in prior cycles too. 
"Skepticism about the cycle actually strengthens it," he said, reaffirming his plan to scale out of positions gradually through late 2025, just as he did in the 2021 cycle peak.
What's Next: Traders now look to the $100,000–$103,000 zone as a critical line in the sand. 
A breakdown could open the door to a summer slump, while a rebound might trigger a breakout above resistance, potentially setting the stage for a fresh leg up.

AnaptysBio, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANAB#NASDAQ">ANAB</a>) on Tuesday released updated data from the Phase 2b trial of rosnilimab, a PD-1 depleter and agonist, for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rheumatoid arthritis</a>.
In the 424-patient 2b trial, rosnilimab achieved JAK-like efficacy on multiple clinically meaningful measures, including low disease activity (LDA) and remission on the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), as well as ACR70 response, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g45757627/anaptys-announces-positive-rosnilimab-data-updated-through-six-months-in-robust-phase-2b-trial-in-" rel="noreferrer noopener">over six months</a>.
Furthermore, responses were then durable for at least two months off the drug.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42445688/anaptysbio-discontinues-investment-in-eczema-candidate-after-disappointing-data" rel="noreferrer noopener">AnaptysBio Discontinues Investment In Eczema Candidate After Disappointing Data</a>
Rosnilimab was safe and well tolerated, particularly compared to standard-of-care biologics or JAKs.
All three doses (100mg Q4W, 400mg Q4W, 600mg Q2W) achieved statistically significant reductions in DAS-28 CRP and ACR20 at Week 12 versus placebo.
CDAI LDA (≤10) was achieved by 45% of 318 rosnilimab patients by Week 12, increasing to 69% (220 responders) across all doses by Week 14.
The company aims to complete its Phase 2 study for rosnilimab in ulcerative colitis/UC, with initial data expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
As of the March 11, 2025&nbsp;data cutoff date, 83% were still in LDA at Week 34 across all doses. Of the remaining 17% of patients who did not sustain CDAI LDA at Week 34, most remained near the cutoff of CDAI=10, with a median CDAI of 13.
Rosnilimab demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements that deepened through Week 28 across multiple validated patient-reported outcomes, including the pain visual analog scale (VAS) and the health assessment questionnaire, or HAQ-Disability Index (DI), a self-reporting tool to measure function and disability.
HC Wainwright analyst Emily Bodnar wrote on Wednesday, &#8220;Given the data showcase a positive holistic story for rosnilimab in RA, we are increasingly positive on upcoming UC data.&#8221;
Bodnar upgraded AnaptysBio from Neutral to Buy, raising the price target<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANAB/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> from $22 to $38</a>.
HC Wainwright Highlights Competitor Datasets
Data using non-responder imputation (NRI) from Week 24 of the SELECT-CHOICE trial, which compared AbbVie Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) Rinvoq vs Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Orencia in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), showed similar results for both drugs. These findings align with the results seen for the company&#8217;s rosnilimab at Week 28, even though about 29% of patients had previously been treated with JAK inhibitors.
In contrast, Eli Lilly And Co&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) now-discontinued PD-1 agonist peresolimab showed a drop in CDAI LDA rates—from 55% at Week 14 to 37% at Week 24. This is notably lower than the 53–63% range reported for rosnilimab at Week 28.
Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) is also set to present early data for its PD-1 agonist at the upcoming EULAR conference, though its study is smaller than AnaptysBio&#8217;s.
Price Action: ANAB stock is down 12.1% at $20.66 at the last check on Wednesday.

Peloton Interactive, Inc. shares are trading higher Wednesday. On Tuesday, a report suggested the company is launching a resale market for used bikes and treadmills.
The Details: According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/03/peloton-launching-resale-market-for-used-bikes-treadmills.html">CNBC</a>, Peloton has rolled out Repowered, a platform that lets users list their used equipment and apparel, with pricing guidance provided by a generative artificial intelligence tool.
Sellers will receive 70% of the sale price, with the remainder shared between Peloton and its resale partner Archive. They will also get a discount toward new equipment. Buyers will benefit from a lower activation fee, which the company said is dropping from $95 to $45 for used products. 
Peloton said buyers will be able to view the equipment's history on the listing and can choose to have it delivered for an additional fee.
The company also said that as of last summer, connected fitness subscriptions from customers who purchased hardware through secondary channels were up 16% year-over-year.
Repowered launched as a beta version in New York City, Boston and Washington D.C., with plans to expand across the United States in the coming months.

Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday following its announcement that it&#8217;s no longer subject to asset growth restrictions that were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45758069">imposed in 2018</a>.
What To Know: On Tuesday, Wells Fargo said the Federal Reserve lifted the asset cap that had been in place since 2018, a penalty tied to the bank's fake-account scandal, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/wells-fargo-federal-reserve-sales-practices-assets-e1d79548c0da446320c441e88de3eea4">Associated Press</a>.
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to lift the asset cap marks a pivotal milestone in our journey to transform Wells Fargo. We are a different and far stronger company today because of the work we&#8217;ve done,&#8221; said Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf.&nbsp;
The fake-accounts scandal, which erupted in 2018, stemmed from a high-pressure sales culture that led employees to open millions of unauthorized accounts in an effort to meet aggressive performance goals.
Since taking the helm in 2019, Scharf has worked to convince regulators that Wells Fargo has overhauled its practices and addressed longstanding compliance failures.
&#8220;In addition, we have changed and simplified our business mix, and we have transformed the management team and how we run the company. We have been methodically investing in the company&#8217;s future while improving our financial results and profile,&#8221; Scharf added.
&#8220;We are excited to continue to move forward with plans to further increase returns and growth in a deliberate manner supported by the processes and cultural changes we have made.&#8221;

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Market Magnet</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-stock-market-magnet-trump-budget-spy-mc-06042025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The chart shows that the pull of zone 1 as the stock market's magnet is very strong.</li>
<li>The chart shows that RSI has now become barely overbought.&nbsp; This indicates that there is room for the stock market to move to zone 1, but the stock market can also pull back due to overbought conditions.</li>
<li>Elon Musk is calling President Trump's budget a "disgusting abomination."&nbsp; Musk says, "Congress is making America bankrupt." Musk claims that President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will massively increase the budget deficit to $2.5T. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The momo crowd buys Tesla Inc (TSLA) stock on every comment from Musk.  How is the momo crowd reacting to Musk's comment about President Trump's budget?  The momo crowd is aggressively buying stocks as the pull of the zone 1 magnet in the stock market is much stronger than Musk's influence.</li>
<li>Prudent investors should pay attention to Musk's comment about President Trump's budget.&nbsp; After all, Musk spent $250M of his own money to get Trump elected and countless hours in Washington on DOGE to help President Trump.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>President Trump said, "I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!" 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>How does the momo crowd react to President Trump's statement?&nbsp; The momo crowd is buying stocks because President Trump likes President Xi, and they are ignoring President Trump saying that President Xi is extremely hard to make a deal with.</li>
<li>Prudent investors should not ignore half of President Trump's statement.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Automatic Data Processing Inc (ADP) is the largest private payroll processor in the country.   ADP data poured cold water on all the bullishness.  ADP showed employment much weaker than expected.  ADP Employment Change came at 37K vs. 115K consensus. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Weak ADP data brought quick selling to the stock market, but as of this writing, the momo crowd is aggressively buying the shallow dip caused by the ADP data.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>ADP data comes after JOLTS data.&nbsp; JOLTS came at 7.391M vs. 7.2M prior.&nbsp; JOLTS data contributed to yesterday's stock market rally.</li>
<li>Initial jobless claims will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET and the official jobs report will be released Friday at 8:30am ET.</li>
<li>ISM Services was released today at 10am ET.  ISM Services data can cause major moves in the markets.  ISM Services data is a leading indicator and carries heavy weight in the adaptive <a href="https://thearorareport.com/ALLOCATION%2BMODELS.htm">ZYX Asset Allocation Model</a> with a long proven track record with inputs in <a href="https://thearorareport.com/unique-zyx-asset-allocation-4/">10 categories</a>.</li>
<li>The Fed's Beige Book will be released today at 2pm ET and may be market moving.</li>
<li>There has been significant Fed speak: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Dallas Fed President Logan said the Fed should focus on forward looking policy that is prepared for a high inflation era.</li>
<li>Fed Governor Cook warned of increasing uncertainty with trade policy potentially pressuring inflation and jobs.</li>
<li>Atlanta Fed President Bostic indicated room for one rate cut in 2025.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>For the AI trade,  earnings from Broadcom Inc (AVGO) are important.  Earnings will be released after market close.</li>
<li>Also important are earnings from Lululemon Athletica Inc (LULU) as it will give a glimpse into the state of the higher end consumer as well as lower end consumers who purchase Lululemon as a status symbol.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Meta Platforms Inc (META) and NVIDIA Corp (NVDA).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), and TSLA.
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (AAPL).
In the early trade, money flows are like a yoyo in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Oil</h4>
API crude inventories came at a draw of 3.3M barrels vs. a consensus of a draw of 0.9M barrels.&nbsp; This data is bearish for oil, but new politics will trump any data.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  Our proprietary Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Beyond The Numbers: 9 Analysts Discuss Patterson-UTI Energy Stock

도널드 트럼프 대통령은 연준에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44416782/trump-pressures-fed-to-cut-interest-rates-as-liberation-day-in-america-looms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">금리인하를 재차 촉구</a>하면서 새로운 관세 도입에 따른 즉각적인 조치를 요구했다. 그의 입장은 이미 복잡한 경제 환경에 또 다른 불확실성을 더하고 있으며, 연준은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44403637/fed-holds-rates-while-growth-forecasts-slip-inflation-projections-rise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">금리를 4.25~4.50%로 유지하기로 결정했지만</a> 인플레이션과 성장 둔화에 대한 우려가 커지고 있음을 시사하고 있다.
연준의 양적 긴축에 대한 보다 완화적인 정책 기조와 함께 성장률 전망치의 하향 조정과 높은 인플레이션 기대치는 시장 참여자들에게 경각심을 불러일으켰다. 긍정적으로 볼 때, 금리가 안정적으로 유지되거나 하락하기 시작할 경우 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ETF가 상승할 수 있는 3가지 분야</a>를 알아보자.
<ol>
<li>Vanguard Ultra-Short Treasury ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGUS#NASDAQ">VGUS</a>)</li>
</ol>
금리의 변동성이 커질수록 VGUS와 같은 초단기 채권 펀드는 매력적인 헤지 수단이 된다. 이 ETF는 투자자들이 단기 국채에 노출되는 동시에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">금리 민감도</a>를 줄여 준다. 금리가 안정되거나 하락하기 시작하면, VGUS 투자자들은 꾸준한 수익률과 함께 채권 가격 상승을 누릴 수 있다.
VGUS는 채권 시장 랠리에서 점진적인 수익을 거두면서도 위험이 낮은 현금 보유 대안을 원하는 사람들에게 특히 적합한 상품이다. 연준의 보수적인 입장과 시장의 불확실성 때문에 초단기 국채 ETF는 여전히 좋은 선택이다.
<ol start="2">
<li>Vanguard 0-3 Month Treasury Bill ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VBIL#NASDAQ">VBIL</a>)</li>
</ol>
또 다른 옵션은 0~3개월 만기의 국채에 투자하는 ETF인 VBIL이다. VGUS와 마찬가지로 이 ETF는 기간 위험을 최소화하고 투자자에게 자본 보존과 경쟁력 있는 수익률을 제공한다.
올해 금리인하가 최소 두 차례 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/19/fed-rate-decision-march-2025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">예상되는 상황</a>에서, 국채 단기물 ETF는 수익률 하락으로 혜택을 볼 수 있어 일반적으로 더 매력적이다. 금리가 변동이 없더라도 VBIL은 단기적으로 현금을 안전하게 보관할 수 있는 수단을 제공한다.
<ol start="3">
<li>Simplify Downside Interest Rate Hedge Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RFIX#NYSE">RFIX</a>)</li>
</ol>
금리 하락에 대해 적극적인 입장을 취하고 싶은 투자자에게 RFIX는 흥미로운 기회를 제공한다. 이 ETF는 장기 금리가 하락할 때 수익을 얻도록 구조화되어 있습. 사실상 이는 금리가 상승할 때 수익을 얻는 심플리파이(Simplify)의 PFIX와 정반대의 성격이다.
연준이 자산 규모 축소 속도를 늦추기 시작함에 따라, 경제 지표가 더 악화되고 자산 규모 축소 속도가 현실화될 경우, RFIX는 좋은 전략적 선택이 될 것이다. 하락 위험을 피하면서 수익률 하락으로 인한 기대 이익을 포착하고자 하는 투자자들은 포트폴리오에 RFIX를 포함시킬 수 있다.
<h3>결론</h3>
연준이 통화 정책에 있어 신중한 입장을 취하고 있지만, 시장 내 불확실성은 계속되고 있다. 금리가 일정하게 유지되거나 시간이 지남에 따라 낮아질지 여부에 관계없이, VGUS, VBIL, RFIX와 같은 ETF는 다양한 금리 추세를 따라잡을 수 있는 독특한 전략을 제공한다.
보수적인 투자 옵션에 관심이 있다면 국채, 단기 현금 대체 상품 또는 금리 위험 완화를 목표로 하는 전략에 초점을 맞춘 이 ETF를 고려해 볼 가치가 있다.
