퇴임을 발표한 워런 버핏의 투자 전략은 시장 변동성에도 불구하고 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)이 사상 최고치에 근접하는 등 계속해서 큰 수익을 내고 있다.버핏의 투자 전략 덕분에 지난주 버크셔 해서웨이는 연초 대비 17% 상승했으며, 이는 S&amp;P 500 지수의 5% 하락과 극명한 대조를 이루었다.

Shares of companies within the broader technology sector are trading higher, supported by broad market strength, after better-than-expected nonfarm payrolls data eased concerns about an imminent economic slowdown.

VeriSign Executive Vice President And Chief Financial Officer George E. Kilguss III Retired From The Company Effective May 31, 2025

Wall Street charged higher Tuesday, with U.S. equities posting broad-based gains by midday as investors embraced a risk-on mood, spurred by easing Treasury yields and renewed optimism surrounding trade talks between the U.S. and the European Union.
The bond market drove a major sentiment shift. U.S. 30-year Treasury yields sank 10 basis points to 4.93%, falling below the psychologically key 5% threshold for the first time in days. 
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rallied 1.5%, eyeing the strongest daily gain since late February 2025. 
This move follows a surprise development in Japan, where the Ministry of Finance announced a reduction in the issuance of longer-dated government bonds. That decision triggered an 18-basis-point drop in Japan's 30-year yield, creating a ripple effect that eased pressure across global fixed-income markets.
The sharp decline in yields helped equities rally across the board. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.9%, extending May&#8217;s gains to more than 6%. The benchmark is now tracking its strongest monthly performance since November 2023.
Technology and small-cap stocks outpaced broader benchmarks, adding momentum to the rally. Every sector in the S&amp;P 500 traded higher on the day. 
Among the mega-caps, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stood out with a 6.4% gain, reclaiming price levels last seen in mid-February. 
As equity and bond sentiment improved, traditional safe-haven assets lost appeal. Gold prices fell 1%, slipping below $3,300 per ounce. The move reflects investors rotating out of defensive plays amid increasing appetite for risk.
In energy markets, crude oil dropped 1.5% to $60.50 a barrel, while copper prices slid 2.1%, signaling some caution in industrial demand despite the bullish tone in equities.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded near $110,000, remaining close to its all-time highs.

Wall Street Rockets As Bond Yields Drop, Tesla Hits 3-Month Highs: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/s-p-500">S&amp;P 500's leaderboard</a> for 2024 features some surprising names and familiar heavyweights. At the top sits NRG Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>), scorching ahead with over 70% gain year-to-date, fueled by a rally in power demand and clean energy transitions. 
Hot on its heels is heavyweight Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), posting a strong 64% YTD surge, making it the only stock from Cathie Wood's ARK Invest universe to crack the S&amp;P 500's top-performing <a href="https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=141&amp;f=idx_sp500&amp;o=-perfytd">list</a>.
Other solid performers include Howmet Aerospace Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWM#NYSE">HWM</a>) (+49% YTD), Philip Morris International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) (+47%) and Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) (+38%), showing strength across energy, industrials, consumer staples, and tech-driven services. Not to be overlooked, General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and GE Vernova Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>) both shine with gains near 37%, while CVS Health Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) and VeriSign, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRSN#NASDAQ">VRSN</a>) round out a diverse group climbing the ranks.

Amid this broad mix, Palantir stands out &#8211; not just for its impressive gains but because it's the lone representative from Cathie Wood's innovation-driven ARK funds that's making waves among America's blue-chip giants. After a spectacular 485% surge over the past year, Palantir stock has captured investor attention with its cutting-edge data analytics and government contracts.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0526">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Technically, Palantir stock remains bullish, trading above its 20-day, 50-day and 200-day moving averages, classic signs that momentum could continue. The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator and RSI (relative strength index) indicators also support a bullish signal, suggesting Palantir stock's rally isn't finished yet.
However, Wall Street analysts take a more cautious stance. Recent ratings from New Street Research, Goldman Sachs, and Deutsche Bank average to a price target near $118 &#8211; only marginally above the current $123 price &#8211; implying limited upside for Palantir stock.
For Cathie Wood's ARK funds, Palantir remains the rare success story in the S&amp;P 500 this year, proving that selective innovation still has a place amid the index's top performers.

Warren Buffett Ditches Bitcoin-Linked Nu Holdings, Adds To Constellation Brands, Domino's Pizza, Pool Corp Stakes

Outgoing CEO Warren Buffett&#8217;s investment strategy continues to yield significant gains, with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) stocks trading near record highs despite market volatility.
Buffett&#8217;s investment strategy has resulted in a 17% year-to-date rally for Berkshire Hathaway last week,&nbsp;a stark contrast to the&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 5% decline.
The 94-year-old billionaire investor has consistently championed long-term, fundamentals-based investing. His successful investment decisions, such as a perfectly timed massive investment in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in 2016, which has since soared over 800%, have significantly increased his wealth.
According to a data by Bloomberg, Buffett is currently&nbsp;the sixth richest person in&nbsp;the world, with a net&nbsp;worth of $166 billion.
Other successful investments include long-held stocks like&nbsp;Coca-Cola Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), which has risen about 15% this year, and&nbsp;Verisign Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRSN#NASDAQ">VRSN</a>), an internet stock that has soared 35% year-to-date.

It&#8217;s A Big Mistake, I Don&#8217;t Think It&#8217;s Wise&#8217;</a>
Despite Buffett&#8217;s shift&nbsp;into the role of chairman&nbsp;and non-executive chairman, his investment philosophy continues to guide Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s decisions, cementing his legendary status among investors. 
His strategy of long-term, fundamentals-based investing has proven to be a successful approach, as evidenced by the significant gains of Berkshire Hathaway stocks. 
This strategy has not only weathered market volatility but has also led to substantial wealth accumulation for Buffett, making him one of the richest people in the world.
Buffett&#8217;s successful investments in companies like Apple, Coca-Cola, and Verisign underscore his ability to identify stocks with strong fundamentals and growth potential. 
These investments have not only yielded significant returns but have also contributed to the overall performance of Berkshire Hathaway, further solidifying Buffett&#8217;s reputation as a savvy investor.

What's Going On With VeriSign Shares Friday?

Wall Street's three-day rally came to a pause on Friday, with major indices hovering near the flatline by midday in New York as caution returned amid mixed signals on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts">U.S.-China trade relations.</a>
President Donald Trump claimed to have held a phone call with President Xi Jinping, yet Chinese officials denied that any talks had taken place.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) extended its rally into a fourth consecutive session, notching its best weekly performance of the year with a 16% gain. On Thursday afternoon, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy introduced a new regulatory framework for self-driving vehicles, saying it aimed to reduce bureaucratic hurdles and advance toward a unified national standard.
T-Mobile US Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NYSE">TMUS</a>) was the biggest laggard of the day, falling 11%, on track for its worst single-day loss since March 2020. This came despite better-than-expected earnings, as its core wireless business posted slower growth than analysts had projected.
Among sectors, consumer discretionary led gains, buoyed by Tesla's 8% gain, while materials underperformed.
In fixed income, Treasury yields declined for a fourth straight session, underscoring how critical Trump's early-week reassurance — that he would not dismiss Fed Chair Jerome Powell — was for bond market sentiment.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped 4 basis points to 4.27%, on course for its lowest close since April 8.
In commodities, gold slid 2%, oil held steady at $62 per barrel, and natural gas rose 1% to $3 per million British thermal units, snapping a 10-session losing streak.
In crypto markets, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 1.2% to $95,000.
