Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner refused to sign a statement asserting that Donald Trump was not antisemitic in the wake of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, according to Michael Wolff&#8216;s latest book, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43173869/ivanka-trump-denounces-fake-crypto-coin-using-her-name" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America</a>.
Wolff writes that despite Trump&#8217;s increasing attempts to garner support for Israel following the deadly attacks, he turned to his daughter and son-in-law for public backing, The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/21/donald-trump-ivanka-jared-kushner-michael-wolff-all-or-nothing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
However, both Ivanka, a convert to Judaism, and her husband declined to offer formal support or sign the statement.
The refusal to offer public support highlights the tensions within the Trump family, particularly in light of his actions following the attacks.
The couple, both senior advisors during Trump&#8217;s first term, distanced themselves further from the then-former president after the January 6 Capitol riots, The Guardian adds.

They have also chosen not to take any roles in Trump&#8217;s second term, which began after the 2024 election.
Wolff&#8217;s book offers a detailed portrait of Trump&#8217;s political battles, including his controversial tariff decisions, plans for territorial expansion, and clashes with key allies, like Elon Musk.
Musk, a major Trump campaign backer, reportedly generated confusion within Trump&#8217;s team, with Wolff capturing Trump&#8217;s bewilderment at Musk&#8217;s actions during a rally.
All or Nothing, set to be released this week, also reveals personal and professional tensions among Trump&#8217;s inner circle, offering a candid and often critical look at the President&#8217;s second campaign for the White House.

Bill Gates' Concerns, Nvidia' Leap In Genetic Research, Elon Musk's Grok Beats OpenAI's ChatGPT, And More: This Week In AI

Elon Musk&#8216;s intellectual abilities have been called into question by his biographer, Seth Abramson. Abramson has disputed the widely held belief of Musk&#8217;s intellectual achievements, asserting that there is no substantial evidence to support such claims.
What Happened: Abramson, a journalist and attorney, took to social media X on Friday to voice his opinions. He criticized Musk and his followers for using the billionaire&#8217;s IQ as a benchmark of his intellectual capacity.
Abramson, who is in the process of writing a biography on Musk, stated, &#8220;There&#8217;s&nbsp;zero evidence, from his life&nbsp;history, of Musk having anything&nbsp;higher than a 110 IQ.&#8221; He further contended that Musk&#8217;s success with companies such as Zip2, PayPal, and&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;was not a result of his intellectual accomplishments but rather his financial investments.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">He was sued for stealing the idea for Zip2—which fired him as soon as investors got involved. He was going to run PayPal into the ground after his company merged with it—again he was fired. He invested in Tesla when it was distressed and quickly began running it into the ground.
&mdash; Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) <a href="https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1892972729583784215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 21, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The biographer also asserted that Musk&#8217;s only &#8220;truly successful and novel company&#8221; is SpaceX, attributing a significant portion of its success to President Obama, whom Musk had lobbied.

Abramson went on to criticize Musk&#8217;s ventures like the Boring Company and Neuralink, labeling the former a failure and the latter embroiled in ethics investigations.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I account Elon Musk&#39;s idea for SpaceX to be more or less the only clearly good idea he has ever publicly had, though it required heavy lifting mostly from a powerful Black man for it to become a success, which may be why Musk has so much resentment for the former president now.
&mdash; Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) <a href="https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1892974055130570876?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 21, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The comments made by Abramson have ignited a widespread online debate, with many questioning the correlation between wealth and intelligence.
Why It Matters: This development is significant as it challenges the popular narrative around Musk&#8217;s intellectual prowess, which has been a key aspect of his public persona. 
Abramson&#8217;s comments have sparked a debate around the correlation between wealth and intelligence, a topic that has been a subject of discussion in the tech and business world. 
The outcome of this debate could potentially impact public perception of successful entrepreneurs like Musk and their business ventures.

Trump's Approval Rating Drops, Mineral Rights Deal With Ukraine, Top US General's Dismissal, And More: This Week In Politics

A call to &#8220;The Dave Ramsey Show&#8221; took an unexpected turn when Jean, a 70-year-old woman from Lexington, Kentucky, called in for financial advice. She explained that she was set to inherit $175,000 and wanted to keep it private from her husband of over 50 years. Her goal was to ensure the money went to her children and was available if her elderly mother needed care.
Dave Ramsey, known for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43741282/dave-ramsey-says-parents-shouldnt-buy-their-teenagers-cars-it-creates-ridiculous-expectations-for-life">giving honest advice</a>, quickly asked why she felt she had to hide the money and keep such a big secret. As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that Jean's marriage had been dysfunctional for decades. She described a long-standing lack of respect from her husband toward her family, leading her to believe he would try to control the inheritance if he found out about it.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dave's Take</h2>
Dave didn't hesitate to tell Jean that hiding things from a spouse is not healthy. He acknowledged that while she had every legal right to manage the money independently, deception was not the way to go.&nbsp;
"I don't think it's healthy for you, and I don't think it's healthy for him," he said.
He pointed out that the real issue wasn't just the inheritance—it was the quality of her marriage. The fact that she didn't feel safe sharing this information was a red flag. "This isn't just a precarious relationship. This is a horrible relationship," Dave said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Protecting Her Money Without Hiding It</h2>
While Dave refused to encourage deception, he did offer Jean sound legal advice. He suggested she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37593532/estate-planning-why-you-may-want-to-consider-a-trust-instead-of-a-will">create a trust</a> and a will to make sure her children got the money. He also recommended talking to an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37593532/estate-planning-why-you-may-want-to-consider-a-trust-instead-of-a-will">estate planning attorney</a> to make sure everything was done properly.
"If you do what I'm talking about," Dave assured her, "he has absolutely no access to the money unless you give it to him."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Compromises Create Big Problems</h2>
Beyond the financial advice, Dave and his co-host dug into a deeper issue—how Jean ended up in such an unhealthy relationship after 50 years. They emphasized that major life problems don't appear overnight. They result from small compromises, lack of communication, and avoiding difficult conversations for years.

By degrees, people allow bad situations to grow until one day, they find themselves stuck, feeling powerless. This applies not only to relationships but also to finances, careers, and personal growth. You don't just wake up in a bad place—it happens little by little when you stop being intentional.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Face Issues Head-On</h2>
Jean's story serves as a cautionary tale for anyone avoiding difficult conversations. Whether it's about money, marriage, or personal growth, ignoring problems won't make them disappear—it only makes them worse.
Dave encouraged Jean to seek counseling, talk to her pastor, and get support from people who could help her make real changes. The inheritance might have sparked the call, but the real issue was much deeper.

If You Do What I'm Talking About…'—Dave Ramsey Reacts To A Caller Who Wants To Hide Inheritance From Her Husband Of 50 Years

The Trump administration plans to overhaul food assistance programs, with the new Department of Agriculture leadership promising to fix what they call Biden-era &#8220;financial mismanagement&#8221; of food benefits.
Kailee Buller, the new USDA chief of staff, accused former department Secretary Tom Vilsack of putting politics over commonsense in managing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. "Make no mistake, Secretary Vilsack and Deputy Under Secretary Stacy Dean put politics over commonsense, ignoring scores of USDA financial analysts and policy experts," Buller <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/newsroom/usda-0020.25">said in a statement</a>. "The Trump Administration will immediately correct this egregious action, making certain material weaknesses like this do not happen again."

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
However, Buller did not provide specifics on a General Accounting Office review findings or how the administration intends to fix the alleged mismanagement.
The criticism comes as House Republicans propose $230 billion in cuts across USDA programs. The reductions would likely decrease current benefit levels, not just expand work requirements, <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/02/12/congress/house-gop-budget-targets-snap-cuts-00203872">according to Politico</a>.

Nearly 40% of recipients in 2022 were children, with 11.6% under age 5 and 28% between ages 5 and 17. The program provides critical food benefits to supplement the grocery budgets of low-income families.

The Biden administration had increased benefits by updating the Thrifty Food Plan to reflect current food prices and dietary guidance, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-announces-plans-snap-benefit-reform-2030452">according to Newsweek</a>. Republican lawmakers opposed the move, with House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson (R-PA) attempting to restrict USDA&#8217;s authority to revise the plan in his proposed 2024 Farm Bill.
&#8220;This is not about &#8216;cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.&#8217; It&#8217;s about slashing benefits for working-class Americans to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-rich,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/RoKhanna/status/1889824185251160172">Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) posted on X</a>. Experts at the Center for American Progress warn that the Republican-controlled Congress will likely target the critical food aid program.
See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
The proposed cuts face resistance from some Republicans in competitive districts concerned about impacts on low-income families ahead of 2026 midterms. States with the highest percentage of SNAP recipients in 2023 included Oregon, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Illinois, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
The department faces additional changes under Trump. On Monday, it terminated 18 contracts totaling $9 million as part of Elon Musk&#8216;s government efficiency initiatives, while reportedly removing climate change references from its website. The USDA has also seen climate program funding slashed.

SNAP Benefits In Focus: Trump Admin Targets Biden's Food Assistance Policies

A simple pizza delivery turned into an incredible story of generosity after a 20-year-old driver braved a snowstorm to deliver an order—only to get a measly $2.15 tip from a customer in an affluent neighborhood.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The $2 Tip That Started It All</h2>
On Jan. 11, Lt. Richard Craig—known as Officer Craig on TikTok—was on duty in Brownsburg, Indiana, when he spotted Connor Stephanoff trekking through the snow in sneakers and sweatpants, carrying a pizza. Curious about his situation, Craig asked how much he got tipped.
"Two dollars," Stephanoff answered. Craig was floored. "Man, cold-blooded! Two dollars!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

Realizing the harsh conditions Stephanoff was working in, Craig gave him $15 of his own money and posted the encounter on TikTok. The <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@officercraig/video/7458528700187839775">video</a>, showing Stephanoff trudging through deep snow after parking his car nearly half a mile away, quickly went viral, racking up thousands of views and comments from outraged viewers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Frustration Into Action</h2>
Craig couldn't shake the unfairness of the situation, so he launched a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-rockstar-pizza-drivers-dedication">GoFundMe campaign</a> on Jan. 12 titled "Support Rockstar Pizza Driver's Dedication." He initially hoped to raise just $500 to reward Stephanoff's dedication.
"I would LOVE to raise at least $500 for this guy!" Craig wrote in the fundraiser description, praising Stephanoff's work ethic and commitment despite the harsh conditions.
But the internet had bigger plans.

In just over a month, donations exploded past $45,000, with more than 2,100 people chipping in. The highest donation—$1,500 from an anonymous donor—was just one example of how much support Stephanoff received from strangers who were touched by his story.
Comments flooded in, with one donor writing: "This story made my day! Keep working hard, pizza delivery guy! You're the kind of person that makes this world go ‘round." Others shared their own experiences as former delivery drivers, emphasizing how rare such dedication is these days. &#8220;I'm gonna do what that pizza customer should have done that day. Props to you for keeping cool regardless of their horrible treatment. Never stop being the amazing person that you are. I see you.&#8221;

Stephanoff, who borrows his grandmother's car to make deliveries, <a href="http://today.com/">told Today.com</a> that he now plans to use the funds to buy his own car, help his grandmother with bills, and, if there's anything left, pursue a college degree in history or business.
Reflecting on the unexpected generosity, he said, "Oh, this is real!" when he saw the donations rolling in. Meanwhile, Craig summed up the entire experience with a simple truth: "Good things come to good people who do the right thing."

'Man, Cold-Blooded! Two Dollars!' — Officer Steps Up And Crowdfunds $45K For Pizza Driver Who Got A Shockingly Low Tip In Snowstorm

Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management CEO Ross Gerber, a Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholder, anticipates a 50% plummet in the stock&#8217;s price this year.
What Happened: Gerber had earlier offloaded approximately $60 million worth of Tesla shares, citing concerns over the company&#8217;s dwindling popularity. 
Despite a brief spike following the 2024 election, Tesla&#8217;s shares have witnessed a 16% decline this year and have fallen 4% since Gerber&#8217;s remarks in December.
In his conversation <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-stock-price-2025-outlook-crash-elon-musks-gerber-tsla-2025-2">with</a> Insider, Gerber detailed four reasons behind his pessimistic forecast for Tesla. He expressed skepticism over Elon Musk&#8216;s ambitious goal of rolling out an autonomous taxi network in Austin, Texas, by June.
&#8220;All of this stuff is going to come to roost this year because he put this deadline on full self driving working in a couple months. It almost seems impossible for that to happen,&#8221; Gerber told the outlet.

He also voiced concerns about Tesla&#8217;s self-driving platform, which depends on cameras rather than LIDAR sensors.
Gerber also indicated that Musk&#8217;s emphasis on AI could prove harmful to Tesla. He suggested that Tesla&#8217;s primary business of car sales is slowing down due to rising competition from BYD, the world&#8217;s largest EV manufacturer based in China. 
&#8220;His 100% focus is on AI, and that&#8217;s really a detriment to Tesla more than it&#8217;s a plus for xAI and all the other businesses because he doesn&#8217;t work at Tesla anymore,&#8221; Gerber said. &#8220;If he were putting all of his time into full self-driving, I&#8217;d feel a lot more confident about Tesla.&#8221;
He also underscored the potential backlash Tesla may face owing to Musk&#8217;s close ties with President Donald Trump.
&#8220;What this does is it creates this anger. I&#8217;ve never seen this anger towards Tesla, but it&#8217;s not toward Tesla as the company, it&#8217;s because of Elon, this is the only way people can take it out,&#8221; Gerber added.
Gerber&#8217;s bearish perspective is echoed by several prominent Wall Street firms, including JPMorgan, which has set&nbsp;a $135 price target for&nbsp;Tesla stock, indicating a potential 60% downside from its current levels.
Why It Matters: Gerber&#8217;s prediction comes at a time when Tesla&#8217;s stock performance has been under scrutiny. The company&#8217;s shares have been on a downward trajectory this year, and Gerber&#8217;s comments add to the growing concerns about Tesla&#8217;s future prospects. 
His concerns about Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving platform and the potential backlash due to Musk&#8217;s association with President Trump underscore the challenges that Tesla may face in the coming years.

Former Tesla Booster Now Warns Stock Faces Major Pain in 2025

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has reportedly withdrawn its most secure cloud storage service, Advanced Data Protection (ADP), from the UK after the British government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43554574/apple-faces-mounting-pressure-from-uk-government-to-grant-spying-access-to-encrypted-data-of-users-worldwide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">demanded secret access to user data</a>.
The decision follows an order under the UK&#8217;s Investigatory Powers Act, which would have required Apple to provide a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; to iPhone backups and cloud data, enabling law enforcement to access information otherwise protected by encryption, The Financial Times reports.
The company stated that it could no longer offer ADP to new UK users, and current users would eventually be forced to disable the feature, the report further noted, citing a statement from Apple.
Since the service was introduced in December 2022, British Apple users had to opt in to benefit from the advanced security.

As of February 2025, attempts to activate ADP in the UK have now resulted in an error message.
The British government&#8217;s request to access encrypted data through a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; has drawn criticism, with experts warning it would undermine online privacy and security for UK users, BBC reports.
Prof Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert, called the move an &#8220;act of self-harm,&#8221; as BBC dds, while online privacy advocate Caro Robson labeled it as an unprecedented step for a company to pull a product rather than comply with a government directive.
This development highlights the tension between national security demands and digital privacy rights, raising concerns over the global impact of such policies on technology companies.

John Legend & Chrissy Teigen Plan To Quit LA For New York After Wildfires. They Can Take Their Pick With $100 Million Fortune

The Supreme Court has rejected a plea by President Donald Trump for an immediate dismissal of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43758634/mary-trump-warns-dni-gabbard-could-lead-to-catastrophic-outcome-a-known-russian-asset-defender-of-murderous-dictator-assad">Office of Special Counsel chief Hampton Dellinger</a>.
What Happened: The Supreme Court has denied Trump&#8217;s appeal to immediately fire Dellinger, who is responsible for protecting government whistleblowers. This decision allows Dellinger to maintain his position for a few more days.
A report <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/denied-trump-emergency-appeal-to-fire-watchdog-immediately-rejected-in-unsigned-supreme-court-order/">by</a> Mediaite says Trump had dismissed Dellinger via a direct email two weeks ago. However, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson quickly ordered his reinstatement following a lawsuit filed by Dellinger.
Last Friday, the Supreme Court upheld Judge Jackson&#8217;s Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Trump&#8217;s motion to vacate the order. The unsigned order was based on the fact that the TRO is due to expire in a few days.

The order also pointed out that while the&nbsp;Court typically does not have&nbsp;appellate jurisdiction over TROs, the&nbsp;Government urged it to interpret&nbsp;the TRO as a preliminary&nbsp;injunction or to exercise jurisdiction&nbsp;under the All Writs Act&nbsp;due to the restrained core executive power.
Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito dissented.
Why It Matters: This decision is significant as it highlights the ongoing legal battles involving the former president. The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision to uphold the TRO against Trump&#8217;s motion to vacate the order underscores the judiciary&#8217;s role in checking executive power. 
The case also brings to light the importance of the Office of Special Counsel in safeguarding government whistleblowers, a role that has been under scrutiny during Trump&#8217;s presidency. 
The decision to allow Dellinger to retain his position, albeit temporarily, is a testament to the checks and balances inherent in the U.S. legal system.

Trump's Bid To Remove Watchdog Denied By Supreme Court — What's Behind His Urgency?

President Donald Trump has expressed confidence in his ability to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to release thousands of Ukrainian children who have been kidnapped amid the ongoing conflict.
What Happened: Trump voiced his belief during a conversation with&nbsp;Fox News <a href="https://radio.foxnews.com/2025/02/21/president-donald-trump-on-his-frustration-with-zelenskyy/">Radio</a>. He said, &#8220;I&nbsp;believe I could, yes. I&nbsp;didn't know too much about&nbsp;it. I&nbsp;was hearing about it yesterday.&nbsp;It's pretty tough stuff, but&nbsp;I believe I could do&nbsp;that.&#8221;
The pro-Kyiv non-profit&nbsp;Razom for Ukraine&nbsp;has reported that Russian forces have kidnapped&nbsp;19,546 Ukrainian children since 2022.&nbsp;The United Nations Commission of&nbsp;Inquiry on Ukraine stated in 2023 that the majority of these children were taken from Russian-controlled territories in eastern Ukraine and moved further into Russia.
Some of these children were granted Russian citizenship and put into foster care, while others have&nbsp;lost all contact with their&nbsp;biological families. Parents have reported to&nbsp;the UN commission that their&nbsp;children are being subjected to mistreatment, including physical abuse and being forced to wear unclean clothes.

According to the report <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/21/us-news/trump-i-believe-i-could-convince-putin-to-free-thousands-of-kidnapped-ukrainian-kids/">by </a>New York Post, the commission has termed Russia&#8217;s child deportation practices as a &#8220;war crime&#8221; and a breach of international humanitarian law, calling on&nbsp;Moscow to release all Ukrainian&nbsp;deportees and detainees.
While some children have been returned to Ukraine through successful charity operations, thousands still remain in enemy territory.&nbsp;Mykola Murskyj, advocacy director of&nbsp;Razom for Ukraine, underscored the seriousness of the situation, stating, &#8220;Trafficking&nbsp;children goes against everything we&nbsp;stand for as America. We&nbsp;cannot and must not falter&nbsp;in our fight against evil.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This development comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions and ongoing conflict in Europe. The kidnapping and mistreatment of Ukrainian children by Russian forces has been a significant point of contention, with international bodies and non-profits alike condemning the actions as war crimes. 
Trump&#8217;s assertion that he could influence Putin to release these children, if true, could potentially lead to a significant breakthrough in this humanitarian crisis. 
However, the actual feasibility and potential implications of such an intervention remain to be seen.

Trump Says He Could Influence Putin To Free Kidnapped Ukrainian Children: 'It's Pretty Tough Stuff, But I Believe I Could Do That'

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is raising the alarm about a brewing battle that he believes will reshape the future of power in the U.S. In a series of recent Bluesky <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liaw4s65c22z">posts</a>, Cuban predicted that the biggest showdown yet will be between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, with AI at the center of the fight.
According to Cuban, AI is quickly becoming the most powerful tool in the world, rivaling even military strength. He believes that the next U.S. president must be technologically competent to keep the country competitive, especially as AI continues to evolve.

</ul>
Cuban envisions Musk pushing AI-driven automation in ways that directly conflict with Trump's desire to control certain aspects of governance. "Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle," Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liay2ghdec2o">warned</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Battle of Business and Politics</h2>
Cuban doesn't just see this as a political fight—he believes it will be the greatest business battle in history. If Musk ever attempts to integrate AI into federal processes, a war between AI companies will erupt over which firms secure government contracts. "The battle will be fought over which company's AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero-sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen," he said.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Apparently, trillions of dollars are at stake. Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liaw4s6e4s2z">noted</a> that major tech companies—Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), OpenAI, Anthropic, and Musk's ventures—are all vying for control. "This is a zero-sum game and the exact reason <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43056464/giving-millions-and-kissing-the-ring-when-trillions-are-at-stake-is-nothing-says-mark-cuban-explaining-why-big-tech-supports-trump">every tech bro has kissed the ring</a>. We are talking tens of TRILLIONS IN MARKET CAP."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI's Unpredictable Future</h2>
Cuban has long expressed concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42235738/in-just-16-months-elon-musk-achieved-with-xai-what-took-openai-nearly-nine-years-to-accomplish">AI's rapid development</a>, saying that unlike past technological revolutions, it's nearly impossible to predict where AI will take us. "I've <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41234173/how-mark-cuban-turned-broadcast-com-into-5-7b-sale-we-were-the-youtube-of-our-day">been in technology for a long time</a>, and you can always look at a new tech, PCs, networks, the internet, streaming, whatever, and say, ‘OK, in five years, this is what's going to happen, right,' and have a good sense. With AI, you can't do that," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40431659/mark-cuban-says-everybodys-chasing-power-and-nothing-will-give-you-more-power-than-military-and-ai">he explained</a>.
Despite the uncertainty, Cuban is certain that the U.S. is the leader in AI development and must hold onto that advantage. Countries are now competing not just for better technology but for control over algorithms, which shape public opinion and decision-making. "If you want to influence somebody, just manipulate the algorithm, and you'll get their attention," he said.

'Biggest Cage Match Ever'—Mark Cuban Warns Of A Coming Clash, Says Musk's AI Implementation Will Directly Challenge Trump's Grip On Control

Americans&#8217; confidence in the economy remains in solidly negative territory as Gallup&#8217;s Economic Confidence Index (ECI) holds <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/657044/economic-confidence-index-steady-february.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">steady </a>at -19 <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43827291/exclusive-will-trumps-tariffs-hurt-or-help-stock-market-59-say-this" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for February, the same as January</a>.
This index measures both public evaluations of current economic conditions and their outlook on the economy&#8217;s future.
The February survey reveals a shift in how Americans view the current state of the economy.
While 20% still consider it &#8220;excellent&#8221; or &#8220;good,&#8221; this is down from 26% in January.
On the flip side, the number of people labeling the economy as &#8220;poor&#8221; dropped from 40% to 33%, with a notable increase in those describing conditions as &#8220;only fair,&#8221; which now stands at 45%, up from 33% last month.
Meanwhile, according to the University of Michigan&#8217;s monthly consumer <a href="http://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/">survey</a>, consumer confidence took a significant dip in February, marking a nearly 10% decline from January.

The Consumer Sentiment Index fell from 71.7 in January to 64.7 in February.
This sharp decrease is largely attributed to consumer concerns over tariff hikes and their potential impact on inflation, The Hill <a target="_blank" href="https://thehill.com/business/5157665-consumer-confidence-dips-in-trumps-first-month-as-tariff-threats-drive-inflation-fears/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
In early February, President Donald Trump approved a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, which were eventually delayed after both countries took steps to curb the flow of drugs at their borders.
Additionally, Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, raised aluminum tariffs to 25%, and reinstated the full power of steel tariffs. These actions sparked worries about rising inflation, with inflation expectations for the next year jumping from 3.3% to 4.3%, while long-term inflation expectations increased from 3.2% to 3.5%.
Alongside the rise in inflation expectations, the consumer price index also showed an uptick, rising 3% year-over-year in January, up from 2.9% in December.
This marked the fourth consecutive month of inflation growth, The Hill adds.
The survey also revealed a partisan split in consumer sentiment. Both Democrats and independents saw a decline in sentiment, while Republicans&#8217; views remained largely unchanged.
Similarly, inflation expectations rose among Democrats and independents but fell slightly for Republicans.
In a recent <a target="_blank" href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/february-2025-national-poll-trump-presidential-approval-at-48-musk-doge-job-approval-at-41/" rel="noreferrer noopener">poll </a>by Emerson College, Trump&#8217;s approval rating stood at 48%, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43847433/trump-approval-rating-declines-in-february-unpopular-domestic-and-foreign-policy-ideas" rel="noreferrer noopener">42% disapproving of his performance</a>.
Despite strong approval for his election win in January, his recent tariff decisions and exploration of territorial expansion have seen a decrease in support, particularly concerning their potential impact on the stock market.
This shift in consumer sentiment highlights growing concerns over economic policies and inflation.

Is Trump Tariff Chaos Worrying Americans? Consumer Confidence Dips Amid Rising Inflation

North Korea&#8217;s infamous Lazarus Group is suspected to be the mastermind behind the $1.4 billion Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) hack on cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, as per findings from blockchain data platform Arkham Intelligence.
What Happened:&nbsp;According to the report, Lazarus Group, a state-sponsored hacking organization from North Korea, is believed to have pilfered&nbsp;over $1.4 billion worth of&nbsp;Ethereum and related tokens from Bybit last Friday. 
This suspicion was drawn from on-chain data analysis that linked the activity to previous attacks associated with the Lazarus Group.
The link was established by an anonymous on-chain investigator known as ZachXBT, who has a history of solving numerous crypto hacks. His report included a detailed analysis of test transactions, connected wallets used before the exploit, and several forensic graphs and timing analyses, reports <a href="https://decrypt.co/307304/north-korea-lazarus-group-bybit-hack-arkham">reports</a> Decrypt.
Arkham Intelligence&nbsp;had previously announced a bounty of nearly $30,000 in ARKM tokens for information leading to the identification of the hackers behind the massive Bybit hack. The hack not only impacted Bybit but also sent shockwaves through the crypto markets.

Last year, they reportedly stole&nbsp;over $1.3 billion from various&nbsp;projects, accounting for 61% of all illicitly obtained crypto&nbsp;in 2024, according to Chainalysis.
Currently, the specifics of the recent hack, the&nbsp;largest in crypto history based&nbsp;on asset prices at the&nbsp;time of the incident, remain unclear. 
Bybit claimed that the exploit involved a &#8220;sophisticated attack&#8221;&nbsp;that masked the signing interface&nbsp;of a multi-signature transaction, making&nbsp;a hacker-controlled wallet appear as&nbsp;the intended recipient address.
Why It Matters: The magnitude of this hack underscores the growing threat of state-sponsored cybercrime in the crypto space. The Lazarus Group&#8217;s suspected involvement highlights the sophistication and scale of such operations. 
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the security vulnerabilities inherent in the crypto market and the need for robust security measures to protect against such sophisticated attacks.

North Korea's Lazarus Group Suspected in $1.4 Billion Bybit Crypto Hack

Buyer's remorse frequently accompanies large purchases, particularly if you don't have the financial means to make that purchase. Personal finance expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43086362/retiring-with-zero-money-and-a-nice-paid-for-house-is-not-a-plan-dave-ramsey-tells-59-year-old-with-no-retirement-savings">Dave Ramsey</a> stands by a simple rule to determine whether an abnormal purchase or charitable donation is too much.&nbsp;
"We use the burn the money in the middle of the floor thing," Ramsey said on The Ramsey Show. "If I took this much money and set fire to it, does my life change? If the answer is yes, then it&#8217;s too expensive."

</ul>
It's no secret that Ramsey is a fan of budgeting. He consistently emphasizes the importance of this exercise, especially when it comes to making large purchases. In a recent <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1005173921662454">Facebook post</a>, he wrote, &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing wrong with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43443687/dave-ramsey-says-if-you-want-to-waste-5000-a-year-spend-13-70-a-day-on-things-you-dont-need">spending money</a> on things you enjoy &#8211; just make sure you&#8217;ve planned for it! That plan is called a budget.&#8221;&nbsp;
By mapping out expenses ahead of time, individuals can ensure they are spending within their means and not jeopardizing their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43499935/worldwide-57-expect-the-next-generation-to-be-worse-off-financially-what-drives-this-economic-pessimism">financial stability</a>.
Many Americans struggle with buyer's remorse, often due to impulse purchases or unnecessary spending. A <a href="https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/many-americans-have-experienced-buyers-remorse">2023 Google/Ipsos poll</a> found that:
<ul>
<li>Roughly two in five Americans (42%) have bought something on sale only to later regret it.</li>
<li>The primary reason for regretting a purchase is realizing they didn't need the item (62%).</li>
<li>Impulse purchasing (42%) and already owning too many things (34%) are also common causes of regret.</li>
</ul>
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
In the poll, respondents were asked about tips to avoid buyer's remorse. Over half of Americans (53%) believe that one way to combat regret is by price comparing across retailers. Comparatively, 47% agree that adequate research for products can help alleviate buyer's remorse.&nbsp;
Ramsey's approach aligns with this mindset—by evaluating the true impact of a purchase or donation, individuals can avoid spending decisions they may later regret.
While Ramsey advocates for financial discipline, he also acknowledges the importance of allowing some discretionary spending. In <a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/budgeting/fun-money-in-budget">an article</a> on Ramsey Solutions, they explained that budgeting for &#8220;fun money&#8221; ensures people can enjoy occasional indulgences without derailing their financial goals.&nbsp;
"We talk a lot about goals and how they need to be the perfect balance of empowering and realistic," Ramsey Solutions wrote. "Fun money helps you with the realistic side because it lets you stick to your goals and have a treat every now and then. Fun money also helps you remember a budget isn't all about restrictions."

The key is to set a fixed amount and stick to it—once the fun money is spent, it's gone. This helps maintain financial balance while still allowing for small luxuries.
Charitable giving is also an important value for many, including Ramsey, but he advises people to ensure their generosity aligns with their financial situation. If giving away a certain amount would create financial strain, it may be too much. Instead, he recommends planning for generosity within a budget, just as one would for other expenses.
Ramsey's approach to evaluating major purchases and donations is rooted in financial responsibility and intentionality. By using a budget, planning ahead, and considering the impact of an expense, individuals can make confident financial choices without experiencing regret. For those looking to apply Ramsey's principles, his straightforward test serves as a practical guide: if losing the money would negatively impact your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/36960367/average-person-believes-financial-happiness-comes-with-a-1-2-million-price-tag-revealing-money-c">financial well-being</a>, it's likely too much to spend.

How Does Dave Ramsey Determine If An Abnormal Purchase Or Charitable Donation Is Too Much?

Investor and author Robert Kiyosaki, has predicted a &#8220;giant crash&#8221; in the market. Despite this, he is confident that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43423389/robert-kiyosaki-predicts-gold-silver-bitcoin-crash-over-trumps-tariffs-says-its-a-buying-moment">will be the first to recover</a>.
What Happened: In a post on X on Friday, Kiyosaki anticipates a significant market crash that will impact all major assets, including&nbsp;stocks, bonds, real estate, gold,&nbsp;silver, and Bitcoin. However, he strongly believes in Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience, asserting that it&nbsp;will be the fastest to&nbsp;recover and hit new highs.
In the post Kiyosaki revealed his post-crash strategy on buying more Bitcoin. He said, despite the impending crash, he has no plans to sell his &#8220;digital gold.&#8221; Instead, he intends to &#8220;back up the truck and&nbsp;buy more&#8221; if Bitcoin&#8217;s price plummets.

Kiyosaki&#8217;s confidence in Bitcoin is apparent in his social media posts. Earlier this month, he encouraged his followers to start accumulating gold, silver, and Bitcoin, while criticizing the U.S. dollar as &#8220;fake.&#8221;

He argues that owning gold and Bitcoin is a smarter and safer strategy than saving dollars.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin has rebounded by 1.65% in the past 24 hours, moving from $96,870 to $98,540.
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s prediction comes at a time when Bitcoin&#8217;s volatility has been a cause for concern among investors. 
His faith in Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience and potential for recovery, however, could bolster confidence among other investors. His strategy of buying more Bitcoin in the event of a crash could also influence others to consider similar strategies. 
Despite the potential risks, Kiyosaki&#8217;s stance underscores the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a viable investment asset.

JP모건에 따르면 미국 대형 바이오제약주는 2년 연속 전체 시장 대비 저조한 실적을 기록했으며, 2025년에 대한 투자자들의 전망은 혼조세를 보이고 있다.
강력한 펀더멘털과 신약 파이프라인의 발전에도 불구하고 정치적 불확실성과 섹터 순환과 같은 요인으로 인해 S&amp;P 500 대비 바이오제약 섹터의 성과가 저조했다.
2024년 바이오제약 주식은 9.6% 상승하여 S&amp;P 500의 28.5% 상승률에 미치지 못했다. 그러나 JP모건 애널리스트들은 몇몇 주요 기업에 대해 긍정적인 전망을 유지하고 있다.
JP모건에서 가장 많이 추천하는 일라이 릴리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>)는 당뇨병 및 비만 치료제인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41622207/eli-lilly-q3-earnings-mounjaro-sales-more-than-double-takes-2-98-billion-hit-to-profit-cuts-annua">마운자로(Mounjaro)와 젭바운드(Zepbound)</a>에서 지속적인 성장을 보일 것으로 예상된다. 또한 JP모건은 일라이 릴리의 강력한 파이프라인을 강조하면서 2030년대까지 두 자릿수 매출과 수익 성장을 예측했다.
브리스톨-마이어스 스퀴브(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>)는 최고 매출 100억 달러를 달성할 수 있는 조현병 치료제인 코벤피(Cobenfy)의 강력한 잠재력으로 JP모건의 &#8216;포커스 리스트&#8217;에 추가되었다.
마찬가지로 머크(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>)와 리제네론 파마슈티컬스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40168774/mercks-blockbuster-vaccine-gardasil-sales-in-china-analyst-highlights-challenges-an">주요 제품에 영향을 미치는</a> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38208816/eye-drug-eylea-price-manipulation-regeneron-faces-us-justice-department-allegations-over-medicare">경쟁 압력</a> 및 지역 역학과 관련된 2024년의 어려움에 이어 2025년에는 회복될 것이르오 예상된다.
길리어드 사이언스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GILD">HIV 예방을 위한</a> 레나카파비르(lenacapavir)의 2025년 중반 출시가 예상됨에 따라 성장할 것으로 예상된다.
또한 애브비(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>)는 단기적인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV">파이프라인 개발</a>이 적음에도 불구하고 스카이리지(Skyrizi)와 린보크(Rinvoq) 판매 호조에 힘입어 밸류에이션이 매력적이라고 보았다.
한편, 동물 건강 관련 주식도 2025년에 반등할 것으로 예상한다. JP 모건은 조에티스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>)를 이 분야에서 가장 강력한 선택지로 보고 있으며, 고배당 매출 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41722660/zoetis-q3-earnings-beat-companion-animal-segment-growth-gives-confidence-into-2025-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">성장과 마진 확장</a>의 잠재력을 언급했다. 아이덱스 래버러토리스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDXX#NASDAQ">IDXX</a>)는 또 다른 다른 확실한 선택이며, 성과는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41659873/idexx-laboratories-adjusts-guidance-as-q3-revenue-growth-slows-analyst-notes-fewer-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">수의사 방문 수 회복</a>에 달려 있다. 한편 엘랑코 애니멀 헬스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELAN#NYSE">ELAN</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41817807/elanco-animal-q3-earnings-profit-beat-new-products-and-stabilized-business-to-drive" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">신제품 출시</a>와 관련된 불확실성에 직면해 있다.
그리고 특수 의약품 부문은 2024년에 가격 안정성과 공급 역학 개선의 혜택을 받아 조기에 안정화 조짐을 보였다. 페리고(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRGO#NYSE">PRGO</a>)와 비아트리스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>)는 유망한 기회로 강조되었으며 테바 파마슈티컬(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>)는 올해 강력한 임상 시험 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42561832/teva-pharmaceutical-releases-impressive-phase-2-candidate-data-for-gastro-related-diseases" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">결과를 발표했지만</a> 성장 문제에 직면할 수 있다.

미국 주식 시장은 목요일(7일) 연준이 예상대로 금리 인하를 결정하고, 제롬 파월 연준 의장이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41823887/powell-dismisses-talk-of-resignation-after-trump-victory-says-policy-is-still-res" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 도널드 트럼프 당선</a> 이후 사임 또는 해임 가능성을 일축하며 시장을 안심시킨 기자회견 이후 사상 최고치로 마감했다.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SPY</a>)로 추적되는 S&amp;P 500 지수는 0.7% 상승한 5,973포인트로 마감했다.
기술주가 시장수익률을 초과 달성했으며, Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)로 추적되는 나스닥 100 지수는 1.5% 상승한 21,000포인트 사상 최고치를 기록했다.
특히, 마이크로소프트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSFT</a>), 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AAPL</a>), 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NVDA</a>), 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOOG</a>, <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOOGL</a>), 아마존(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AMZN</a>), 메타 플랫폼스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">META</a>), 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TSLA</a>)로 구성된 &#8216;매그니피센트 세븐&#8217;의 총 시가총액이 17조 달러를 초과하여 새로운 정점을 기록했다.
다우존스 지수는 수요일에 3.6% 상승한 후 주춤했으며, 소형주 지수는 전날 5.8% 급등 후 0.4% 하락했다.
S&amp;P 500 지수에서 가장 성과가 좋았던 섹터는 기술 섹터로 1.8% 상승했으며, 통신서비스와 소비재 섹터가 각각 1.3% 상승했다. 수요일에 가장 많이 상승했던 금융주는 목요일에 1.5% 하락하면서 부진한 모습을 보였다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">연준, 금리인하 그리고 파월 거취 우려 일축</h3>
연방준비제도이사회는 예상대로 금리를 4.5%~4.75%로 0.25% 인하했는데, 이는 9월의 0.5% 대규모 인하 이후 완화 속도가 줄어든 것이다. 연준은 2분기 미국 국내총생산(GDP)이 2.8% 상승하고 소비자 신뢰가 회복되는 등 견고한 경제 모멘텀을 인정했다.
파월 의장은 10월 고용지표의 부진을 일축했으며, 일자리 성장 정체는 근본적인 경제 약세보다는 파업과 허리케인 같은 일시적인 요인에 기인한 것이라고 지적했다.
파월 의장은 이번 금리 인하를 통화 정책의 "추가 재조정(further recalibration)&#8221;의 일환으로 설명하며, 여전히 "제약적(restrictive)&#8221;이라고 했다. 그는 향후 추가 완화 가능성을 암시했지만 12월 회의에서 구체적인 금리 인하 시그널을 보내지 않고 데이터에 의존하는 접근 방식을 강조했다.
트럼프 대통령의 요청이 있으면 사임할 것이냐는 질문에 파월은 "아니오"라고 단호하게 답하며 대통령에게는 연준 의장을 해임할 법적 권한이 없다는 점도 거듭 강조했다.
파월 의장의 발언 이후 12월 금리 인하에 대한 시장 기대치는 75%까지 치솟으며 수요일 선거 이후 하락세를 회복했다. 국채수익률은 급격히 하락하여 10년물 수익률은 10bp 하락한 4.33%로 전날의 급등분을 거의 상쇄했다.
미국 달러는 0.7% 하락했으며, SPDR Gold Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GLD</a>)로 추적되는 금 가격은 수요일 3% 하락한 후 목요일에는 1.8% 반등했다.
한편, 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)은 뉴욕시간 오후 4시 30분에 1% 상승 거래되었으며, 세션 중에 76,990달러로 사상 최고가를 기록했다.

파월 연설 후 미국 증시 사상 최고치, '매그니피센트 세븐' 총 시가총액 17조 달러 돌파

주식 시장 지수는 최근 몇 년간 사상 최고치를 기록했으며 S&amp;P 500은 조 바이든 대통령이 지난 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">거의 4년 동안</a> 국가를 이끌었던 다른 해를 능가했다.
바이든이 취임하면서 모든 주식이 상승한 것은 아니며 투자자들은 2024년 선거가 다가올 때 앞으로 있을 일에 대비하기 위해 2021년 최악의 성과를 낸 주식을 되돌아보고 싶을 수도 있다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 바이든이 올해 초 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2024년 대통령 선거</a>에서 하차한다고 발표했다. 현 대통령이 재선되지 못하더라도, 민주당 대통령 하의 과거 성과는 카멀라 해리스가 다가오는 화요일 선거에서 승리할 경우 어떤 주식과 섹터가 승자가 될 수 있는지를 강조할 수 있다.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500은 2021년에 26.9% 상승했다. 이는 2018년 이후 연간 최고 실적이자 지난 11년 동안 주요 주식 시장 지수 중 두 번째로 좋은 실적을 기록했다.
2020년 11월 3일, 바이든이 승리한 대선 이후 12개월 동안 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">S&amp;P 500 지수는 37.4% 상승</a>했다. 이는 수년 동안 한 대통령 하의 최고의 1년 시장 수익률이었다.
많은 주식들이 2021년에 상승했지만, 모든 상장 회사들이 긍정적인 수익률을 기록한 것은 아니다.
StatMuse의 <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">보고서</a>에 따르면 2021년에 가장 실적이 저조했던 S&amp;P 500 주식 10개와 해당 섹터는 다음과 같다:
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from StatMuse, and their sectors.
아래는 2021년 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 가장 성과가 저조했던 10개 주식과 그 섹터들입니다:
1. 라스베이거스 샌즈 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>): -37.1%, 소비재/카지노 
2. 글로벌 페이먼츠 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPN#NYSE">GPN</a>): -36.8%, 금융 
3. 마켓 액세스 (NASDAQ::MKTX): -28.1%, 금융 
4. 비아트리스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>): -25.8%, 헬스케어 
5. 윈 리조트 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>): -24.8%, 소비재/카지노 
6. 워너 브라더스 디스커버리 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>): -24.4%, 미디어/오락 
7. 팔란티어 테크놀로지스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): -23.8%, 기술 
8. 피델리티 내셔널 인포메이션 서비스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>): 금융 
9. 페이팔 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>): -20.7%, 금융 
10. 이리 인뎀니티 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>): -20.3%, 보험
위의 결과는 2021년에 금융 섹터가 저조한 성과를 보였으며, 카지노 주식들이 여러 개 포함되어 있음을 보여준다.
The results above show that financials was an underperforming sector in 2021 and also includes several casino stocks on the list.

&#8211; 국회가 큰 투자를 하고 있습니다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent110224" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2024년 대선 전 그들이 무엇을 사고 팔았는지에 대한 팁을 우리 도구로 쉽게 확인하세요.</a>
왜 중요한가 (Why It's Important): 클릭하면 도널드 트럼프의 백악관 입성 첫해인 2017년 S&amp;P 500의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41584466/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-and-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10개 최고 주식</a> 및 최악의 성과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41606114/10-s-and-p-500-stocks-were-worst-performers-in-first-year-of-trumps-presidency-will-they-sink-again" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10개 최악의 주식</a>을 확인할 수 있다.
투자자들에게 흥미로운 점은 백악관에 누가 있었는지에 따라 일부 주식의 상관관계가 있을 수 있다는 점이다.
윈 리조트는 2017년 트럼프 하에 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 4위로 좋은 성과를 보였지만, 2021년 바이든 하에서는 저조한 성과를 보였다. 페이팔은 2017년 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 8위로 좋은 성과를 보였지만, 2021년에는 저조한 성과를 보였다.
위의 결과는 과거 결과와 민주당 리더십을 바탕으로 해리스가 대통령에 당선될 경우 금융주와 카지노 주식이 저조한 성과를 낼 수 있음을 보여줄 수 있다.
2024년 대선이 며칠도 채 남지 않은 시점에서, 투자자들은 트럼프나 해리스의 승리를 기준으로 포트폴리오를 조정하고 있을 가능성이 높다. 접전이 예상되는 대선에서 투자자들은 두 후보 하에서 혜택을 받을 수 있는 섹터를 살펴보는 것이 좋다.
프리덤 캐피털 마켓(Freedom Capital Markets)의 수석 글로벌 전략가 제이 우즈(Jay Woods)는 이전에 트럼프 또는 해리스가 2024년 선거에서 승리하는지 여부에 관계없이 이익을 얻을 수 있는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">일부 섹터 및 주식</a>을 벤징가와 공유했다.
우즈는 방산 주식과 사이버 보안 주식을 2024년 대선 전에 주목해야 할 주요 섹터로 언급했다.
우즈는 방산 부문에 대해 &#8220;이 부문을 면밀히 관찰해야 한다고 생각한다&#8221;고 말했다.
그는 방산 주식이 지정학적 우려와 세계의 많은 불리한 사건들로 인해 계속 혜택을 받을 수 있다고 덧붙였다.
