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.

<li>Ethereum&#8217;s price action continues to raise concerns in the short term.</li>
</ul>
Amid price struggles over the past two years, Ethereum has been reduced to a meme in cryptocurrency circles, written off by retail <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44356017/standard-chartered-lowers-ethereum-price-target-to-4000-heres-why-a-coinbase-blockchain-is-to-blame">and institutional investors alike</a>.
Well, retail and institutional investors, except BitMEX founder and Maelstrom Chief Investment Officer Arthur Hayes. Where others see a lost cause, Hayes sees opportunity, picking the asset over market rival Solana, one of the best-performing crypto assets of the past two years.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;The Most Hated Thing&#8221;</h2>
Hayes has pitched his tent behind Ethereum against Solana. Speaking with Laura Shin on the &#8220;Unchained&#8221; podcast on April 8, the market analyst <a href="https://youtu.be/ZJvsyGr7gBg?si=Oz8YINeiaA5UjXme">tipped</a> Ethereum to outperform Solana in the market&#8217;s next potential move up.
&#8220;You want to own the most hated thing because that&#8217;s going to perform the best, and you don&#8217;t want to own the most loved thing from the previous cycle because that&#8217;s going to perform the worst,&#8221; he asserted, arguing that Ethereum offered a better risk to reward potential than Solana for investors with fresh capital coming into the market.
He stressed that this outlook did not mean that Solana would not also see significant gains but opined that it may not perform as well relative to Ethereum.
&#8220;I think ETH has the market fundamentals to do very well in this next leg up because people hate it so much, and so you know if it starts rising a lot in price, then you start getting &#8216;oh ETH&#8217;s back,&#8217; and everyone forgets all the reason why they hated ETH in the previous cycle, and then they jump on the bandwagon,&#8221; he said.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Another reason Hayes offered for backing Ethereum is an anticipated cool down of the memecoin frenzy on Solana in a potential market leg up.
&#8220;There will be some memecoins that do very, very well, but are we gonna go back to where we were 12 months ago where everybody and their mother was just like slinging memecoins trying to find the $1 million market cap that goes to $100 million market cap and just handing hundreds of millions of dollars in fees to Pump.fun? I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going back there,&#8221; he asserted.
Indeed, following several high-profile scandals, the most notable being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44706269/argentinas-congress-approves-investigation-of-scam-ridden-libra-token-promoted-by-president-javier-milei">the LIBRA saga</a>, the Solana memecoin frenzy has significantly cooled down in recent weeks.

According to Dune Analytics <a href="https://dune.com/adam_tehc/pumpfun">data</a>, daily active wallets on Solana&#8217;s popular memecoin casino Pump.fun have dropped from highs of nearly 425,000 in January to barely 109,000 on April 11, a staggering 74% decline. At the same time, weekly volumes have tanked 73% from $3.3 billion to barely $900,000.
Nonetheless, in the short term, it is Ethereum&#8217;s underwhelming price performance that continues to attract wide concern. Amid recent market turbulence, the asset briefly dropped below the $1,400 price point—levels it first hit at the beginning of 2018.
&#8220;The fact that you can still buy ETH at 2017 levels? It&#8217;s either the market&#8217;s greatest joke – or its greatest opportunity,&#8221; Moonrock Capital CEO Simon Dedic <a href="https://x.com/sjdedic/status/1909330449799037235?t=psrE9bYPTf85lq0Q69jeOg&amp;s=19">lamented</a> at the time.

Why Arthur Hayes Sees Ethereum Outperforming Solana In The Next Market Impulse

In speeches and rallies, President Donald Trump paints a spirited picture of a manufacturing comeback. He wants to fill up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44506409/steve-jobs-warned-34-years-ago-about-america-being-hollowed-out-by-foreign-manufacturing-a-concern-trump-now-echoes">half-empty factories</a>, bring jobs back from overseas and restore America's status as a &#8220;manufacturing superpower.&#8221;
But while Americans might love the idea of more factory jobs, most don't actually want to work in one.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Nostalgic Vision Meets Modern Reality</h2>
Manufacturing once dominated the U.S. job market. In 1970, more than 25% of American workers held manufacturing jobs. Today, it's only around 8%, and many of those jobs look very different than they used to.

</ul>
Despite this drop, support for manufacturing remains high. A 2024 Cato Institute <a href="https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/2024-08/Globalization%20Survey_2024.pdf">survey</a> found that 80% of Americans believe the country would be better off with more manufacturing jobs. But when asked if they personally would prefer a factory job over their current work, only 25% agreed. About 73% said no, and just 2% of respondents actually work in manufacturing today.

</figure>
So what gives? According to Carolyn Lee, executive director of the Manufacturing Institute, the jobs that still exist in modern factories are not what they used to be. &#8220;The majority of the jobs in the sector are not entry-level jobs that have no skills,&#8221; she told <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/10/business/manufacturing-us-jobs-trump-tariffs/index.html">CNN</a>. These roles now require everything from certifications to software and robotics skills.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Alone Won't Bring Back the Old Jobs</h2>
Trump believes sweeping tariffs will reverse the decades-long decline in factory work. In a recent social media <a href="https://x.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/1909784713847321085">post</a>, he wrote, "I'm proud to be the president for the workers, not the outsourcers."
But many economists say the plan oversimplifies the issue. U.S. manufacturing output has actually increased over the last 40 years, even as jobs declined—thanks to automation and improved productivity. American factories now produce more high-value goods with fewer workers.
The push to onshore production also faces a major labor problem. There simply aren't enough Americans willing—or trained—to fill these roles. In February, the U.S. had <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/jolts.t01.htm">482,000</a> open manufacturing jobs, and projections show 1.9 million may go unfilled by 2033, <a href="https://themanufacturinginstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Digital_Skills_Report_April_2024.pdf">according</a> to Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute.
&#8220;The skills U.S. workers have are mismatched for manufacturing right now,&#8221; Olaf Groth, a professor at UC Berkeley, told CNN. &#8220;What we need to do is lift the majority of American labor from mid-skilled to high-skilled.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High Costs, Uncertain Results</h2>
Trump's supporters argue that tariffs will help revive old factory towns. But the costs are high. Tariffs raise the price of imported goods, which hits lower-income families the hardest. A <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/current-events/us-tariffs">note</a> from JPMorgan Chase summed it up: "At the end of the day, tariffs are a tax on imports… the tax incidence nearly always falls on domestic sellers and consumers, not foreign producers."
Trump&#8217;s steel and aluminum tariffs during his first term are a case in point. They raised costs for U.S. manufacturers and consumers alike. In 2018, the Peterson Institute <a href="https://www.piie.com/blogs/trade-and-investment-policy-watch/steel-profits-gain-steel-users-pay-under-trumps">estimated</a> it cost about $650,000 to save a single job in the steel industry.
There's also no guarantee that jobs would come back <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44660218/commerce-secretary-howard-lutnick-says-army-of-workers-will-build-iphones-in-the-us-but-trumps-tariffs-could-reportedly-push-iphone-16-pro-maxs-prices-to-2300">at the scale envisioned</a>. As Lee noted, new factories may open, but they'll need fewer people. Robots and machines will do most of the manual work. And many Americans just aren't interested. The Cato survey confirms that.

A 36-year-old Reddit user with $85,000 in savings recently sparked a viral discussion on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/comments/1jynv19/to_the_millennials_who_have_no_hope_of_buying_a/">r/Millennials</a> by asking a question that hit a nerve: If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44402207/billionaire-peter-thiel-warns-of-a-looming-real-estate-catastrophe-a-massive-hit-to-the-lower-middle">homeownership is out of reach</a>, what are you doing with your money?
&#8220;I have about $85k in savings and put away $1,200 a month,&#8221; the user wrote. &#8220;I have a good income, but not enough for a bank to want to give me a mortgage.&#8221;
That comment set off hundreds of replies from other millennials who have faced the same struggle: doing everything right financially but still feeling like owning a home is a fantasy.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Laughter, Support, and Shared Struggle</h2>
The top reply, with more than 1,300 upvotes, summed up the mood: &#8220;You have savings?&#8221;
For many, the idea of having tens of thousands stashed away is laughably out of reach. One user admitted they had only $1,200 total. Another said their savings evaporated after an unexpected dental emergency.
Then came the deeper stories. One user said they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42926724/were-350000-in-debt-and-have-no-savings-at-50-this-couple-making-258000-a-year-asks-ramit-sethi-will-i-have-to-work-until-we-die-2">have no savings</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44385855/45-year-old-with-no-401k-making-80k-says-he-prioritized-his-son-and-debts-now-incredibly-stressed-about-retirement-how-can-i-catch-up">no 401(k)</a>, and no inheritance coming: &#8220;So, probably just die at my desk at work.&#8221;
Another shared, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been able to weasel my way into some awesome stuff.&nbsp; I rent a big old farm house for the going rate of a studio (in my area). I&#8217;ve managed my way into a job I&#8217;m underqualified for. I count my blessings every day.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So What Are People Doing With Their Money?</h2>
Many are choosing to put their money into high-yield savings accounts, exchange-traded funds, or just saving for retirement in general.
&#8220;I have $180k in retirement, $50k in emergency savings at 40,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;I probably should have closer to $300k in retirement to comfortably retire.&#8221;
Others are planning to leave the country entirely.
&#8220;Maybe eventually buy a house down in Mexico,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;Just because sh&#x2A;t is unaffordable in America doesn't mean it's like that everywhere.&#8221;
A few even joked about giving up completely: &#8220;Going to spend it on my inevitable relapse,&#8221; someone commented.
But not everyone is throwing in the towel. One said they're saving for an RV and solar panels to travel the country. Another is considering co-owning property with friends through an LLC.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying Still Matters—But It&#8217;s Complicated</h2>
Some users were confused about why someone with $85,000 and a stable income couldn't get a mortgage. &#8220;Sounds pretty stupid,&#8221; one wrote. Others pointed to location: $85,000 doesn't stretch far in cities like Vancouver, Toronto or San Diego, where even condos can be out of reach.
One commenter explained, &#8220;You could buy an entire house on a piece of land in my state for 130K&#8230; no mortgage.&#8221;
That sentiment was echoed repeatedly. It's not that homeownership is dead everywhere—just in places millennials were told to chase dreams.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Letting Go Of The White Picket Fence</h2>
Beyond the dollars, a shift in mindset is happening. Some said they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38874948/have-american-renters-given-up-on-the-dream-of-homeownership">no longer want a home at all</a>.
&#8220;Everyone I know who owns a home is constantly doing things around the house,&#8221; one person said. &#8220;How do they make time to do fun things?&#8221;
Others plan to stay renters forever and just build wealth elsewhere. &#8220;Rent is the maximum you'll pay, a mortgage is the minimum you'll pay,&#8221; someone pointed out.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hope, If You Squint</h2>
Despite the bleak tone, most replies had a sense of solidarity. The financial system may be broken, but millennials aren't giving up entirely. They're just shifting the goalposts.
&#8220;I'm saving/investing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-retire-at-55">be able to retire early</a>. Every month matters!&#8221; one user said.
Another summed it up: &#8220;Keep saving and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44737339/americans-have-401ks-not-cash-lying-around-to-buy-stocks-says-an-investor-exposure-to-the-market-doesnt-mean-they-can-buy-the-dip">keep investing</a>. You will get to where you want to be eventually.&#8221;
The dream might be dead, but the money—and the grit—is still there, at least for some millennials.

$1000 Invested In Micron Technology 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Apple's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/upgrades/25/04/44751387/apple-analyst-slashes-price-forecast-on-weak-iphone-demand-ai-revenue-despite-less-tariff-risk">biggest iPhone headache</a> might not be a chip shortage — it's tariffs. President Donald Trump's aggressive new round of China tariffs has temporarily spared electronics like smartphones and laptops, but that grace period is short-lived.&nbsp;
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Sunday told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/commerce-secretary-lutnick-tariff-exemptions-electronics-temporary/story?id=120752319">ABC's "This Week"</a> that Apple and other tech companies should expect new semiconductor-specific tariffs "in probably a month or two."&nbsp;
Apple's dependence on China is massive. Roughly 90% of iPhones are made there. As <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/11/iphone-apple-trump-tariffs-tech-us-china">The Guardian reports</a>, if tariffs stick and Apple doesn't shift production, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could jump from $1,199 to $2,150 — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728758/trumps-tariffs-could-push-apple-iphone-prices-to-a-staggering-3500-says-top-analyst">or even $3,500</a> if production were forced into the U.S.

</ul>
Ironically, this was a debate 14 years ago.
At a 2011 Silicon Valley dinner with then-President Barack Obama, Apple CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44780772/bill-gates-said-its-a-gross-oversimplification-to-compare-elon-musk-to-genius-steve-jobs-you-wouldnt-walk-into-a-room-and-confu">Steve Jobs </a>gave a blunt answer when asked what it would take to make iPhones in America: "Those jobs aren't coming back." That quote, reported by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-and-a-squeezed-middle-class.html">The New York Times</a>, captured the stark reality of globalized manufacturing.&nbsp;
It wasn't just about labor costs. At the time of the 2011 article, experts estimated that paying American wages would only add about $65 to each iPhone.
The real issue was China's supply chain dominance. "You need a million screws? That factory is a block away," a former Apple executive told the Times.
In that same dinner, Jobs said that Apple could potentially bring some high-skill manufacturing to the U.S. if the government helped train engineers. But he was clear: America didn't have the mid-level engineering workforce or production speed needed to compete.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Current Apple CEO Tim Cook has tried to soften that stance. Apple in Februay <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/apple-will-spend-more-than-500-billion-usd-in-the-us-over-the-next-four-years/">announced</a> plans to invest $500 billion in the U.S. over four years, building a new factory in Texas and expanding teams across 10 states. But most iPhones are still made abroad.
Even back in 2012, Cook pledged $100 million to build some Mac computers in the U.S. While this move garnered attention, analysts viewed it as a strategic decision rather than a significant shift in Apple's manufacturing strategy. Tom Dinges, a senior supply chain analyst at IHS, <a href="https://www.wired.com/2012/12/apple-insourcing/">told Wired</a> the impact would be minimal across Apple's global operations.
But more than a decade later, the conditions Cook once hedged against may be catching up.
Apple has started ramping up production in India, aiming for 25 million units this year, but China remains its manufacturing heart. As Trump pushes tariffs, Apple may be forced to test Jobs' theory — whether those jobs really are gone for good, or whether a $3,500 iPhone is what it takes to bring them home.

$100 Invested In Texas Pacific Land 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Spring offers an ideal opportunity to refresh financial health. Just as decluttering a home brings clarity and calm, conducting a financial spring cleaning can help gain control, reduce stress and set the stage for future success. Here are key<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44854372/gold-hits-new-record-highs-as-safe-haven-demand-climbs-2-ways-to-invest"> steps to consider:</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Review Budget and Spending</h1>
Begin by revisiting the household budget. Track expenses over recent months to reveal unnecessary or impulsive purchases and adjust the budget to align with current financial goals — such as saving for a vacation, paying down debt or building an emergency fund.&nbsp;
Credit Karma, an app from Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>), can organize each transaction by category and track spending habits and identify leftover funds available for investing or saving.&nbsp;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tackle Debt Strategically</h1>
Addressing debt is an essential part of financial spring cleaning. Listing all debts, including interest rates and minimum payments, can help prioritize high-interest debts like credit cards. Paying off high-interest debt quickly helps save money and can enhance credit scores.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Optimize Savings</h1>
Evaluate savings accounts and emergency funds often, but at least once a year. Ideally, an emergency fund should cover three to six months of expenses or more. Automatic transfers to savings accounts can facilitate the steady growth of financial reserves.&nbsp;
Acorns offers<a href="https://www.acorns.com/"> an app </a>that can automatically transfer small amounts from a checking account into a savings account to build an emergency fund over time.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Check Subscriptions and Bills</h1>
Reviewing and canceling unused subscriptions, as well as negotiating bills such as cable, internet or insurance, can lead to significant monthly savings. The savings can then be redirected toward more important financial objectives.&nbsp;
Rocket Money, an app from Rocket Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), can help identify unused or duplicate subscriptions and even help to cancel them.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Plan for the Future</h1>
Review retirement accounts and investment portfolios to ensure that asset allocation matches risk tolerance and time horizons. For those who have yet to begin investing, spring presents an excellent opportunity to start.
Some online brokerages, like Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Webull Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BULL#NASDAQ">BULL</a>), offer retirement investment accounts and easy-to-learn apps.&nbsp;

8 Analysts Have This To Say About Astera Labs

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.
