On Thursday, President Donald Trump confirmed that the U.S. is <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43511395/trump-pushes-for-tiktok-deal-china-could-oblige-if-it-werent-for-those-tariffs-heres-what-we-know">nearing a deal</a> to spare TikTok from a potential ban, with ongoing discussions involving multiple investors and a possible tariff agreement with China.
What Happened: During remarks aboard Air Force One, Trump said, &#8220;We're very close to a deal with a very good group of people,&#8221; <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-03/trump-says-tiktok-deal-within-reach-involves-multiple-investors?srnd=phx-technology">reported</a> Bloomberg.

&#8220;You have a situation with TikTok where China will probably say, we'll approve a deal but will you do something on the tariff? The tariffs give us great power to negotiate. They always have,&#8221; he stated.
However, he admitted that he had &#8220;no knowledge&#8221; of whether Chinese authorities would approve the approach.

Why It Matters: TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media app owned by ByteDance, has faced increasing scrutiny over national security concerns related to data privacy and its algorithm.
The president's latest comments follow discussions with a consortium of U.S. investors, including Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and Andreessen Horowitz, looking to acquire the app.

Trump Says US Near TikTok Deal, Reiterates Trade Relief Offer For China's Approval: 'Tariffs Give Us Great Power To Negotiate'

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) announced Thursday it will extend employee pricing to all car shoppers, a move that coincides with the implementation of new 25% U.S. tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44632051/ford-stock-falls-as-auto-tariffs-take-effect-whats-going-on">imported vehicles and auto parts</a>.
What Happened: The &#8220;From America, For America&#8221; promotion allows consumers to purchase 2024-2025 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including gas, electric and hybrid models, at prices typically reserved for company employees. The offer runs Apr. 3 through Jun 2, though it excludes Raptor models, 2025 Expedition and Navigator SUVs, and Super Duty trucks.
&#8220;We understand that these are uncertain times for many Americans,&#8221; Ford said in a <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ford-promo-employee-discount-trump-tariffs-car-prices/">statement</a> to CBS News. &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s navigating the complexities of a changing economy or simply needing a reliable vehicle for your family, we want to help.&#8221;
The promotion launches as analysts warn of significant price increases for vehicles due to the tariffs. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives described the situation as a &#8220;tariff torpedo&#8221; and &#8220;pure chaos&#8221; for the auto industry, estimating price hikes of $5,000 to $10,000 for typical vehicles, with luxury models potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">seeing increases up to $15,000</a>. 
Ford has already benefited from consumers rushing to purchase vehicles ahead of expected price increases. The company reported a 5% rise in first-quarter sales, driven by a 19% surge in March.

Why It Matters: The impact of the tariffs is already rippling through the industry. Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) announced production pauses at plants in Canada and Mexico, with temporary layoffs affecting 900 workers in the Midwest and 4,500 employees at its Windsor Assembly Plant.
The auto tariffs are part of broader trade measures announced by President Donald Trump, which analysts say will likely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">increase prices across various consumer goods</a>. Even U.S. manufacturers like Ford rely on 40-50% of parts sourced from abroad, making the concept of an all-American-made car what Ives calls &#8220;a fairy tale fictional narrative.&#8221;
Price Action: Ford stock closed at $9.54 on Wednesday, down 6.01% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 0.42% to $9.58. Year to date, Ford shares are down 1.14%.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Ford currently lacks medium- to long-term price momentum but benefits from a strong valuation and a positive short-term price trend. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

Ford Launches 'From America, For America' Discount Program As Tariffs Threaten Vehicle Price Surge

Miller Value Partners, led by Bill Miller IV, reduced its MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) holdings by 70% to 15,250 shares from 50,250 shares in the fourth quarter of 2024, according to a 13F-HR filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb. 14.
What Happened: With MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock declining 7.69% from $337.73 to $312.54 as of Apr. 2, the investment firm avoided potential losses of approximately $881,650 by selling 35,000 shares.
The firm had initially purchased 50,000 MSTR shares at $327.67 on Nov. 14, building an $8.47 million position. This investment yielded <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43295510/bill-miller-snapped-up-50k-microstrategy-shares-in-q3-was-it-a-smarter-play-than-bitcoin-etfs">considerably lower returns</a> compared to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETFs in the third quarter.

Why It Matters: This move follows a family legacy of Bitcoin investment. Bill Miller III, the founder&#8217;s father and renowned investor, made headlines for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40543953/despite-market-jitters-investor-bill-miller-stands-firm-on-bitcoin-an-insurance-policy-aga">early Bitcoin adoption in 2012</a>, purchasing the cryptocurrency at around $700.
The elder Miller, known for beating the S&amp;P 500 Index for 15 consecutive years at Legg Mason Value Trust, has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin as a hedge against financial instability.
&#8220;Bitcoin is an insurance policy against financial catastrophe, against inflation,&#8221; the senior <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40543953/despite-market-jitters-investor-bill-miller-stands-firm-on-bitcoin-an-insurance-policy-aga">Miller said in August</a>, recommending investors allocate 1% of their liquid assets to the cryptocurrency.
Miller Value Partners currently manages approximately $290 million in assets through its Miller Income mutual fund and two ETFs, focusing on value investment strategies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40543953/despite-market-jitters-investor-bill-miller-stands-firm-on-bitcoin-an-insurance-policy-aga">across various asset classes</a>.

Bill Miller's Firm Slashed MicroStrategy Stake By 70%: The Move That Dodged A Costly Hit

Large Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) holders sold out millions worth of the cryptocurrency Thursday ahead of the expected supply shock caused by the unstaking of SOL tokens. 
What Happened:&nbsp; Four whales unstaked and dumped a total of $46.3 million worth of SOL, according to on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain. Typically, when whales sell, it can signal a potential shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The massive sell-off comes just ahead of the unlocking of $200 million worth of staked SOL on Friday, marking the largest single-day unstaking until 2028, according to on-chain analytics firm Arkham.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Typically, token unlocks are interpreted as bearish on the belief that the price of the asset will dip as the market is flooded with extra supply. However, widely followed cryptocurrency trader MartyParty dismissed the amount as &#8220;insignificant.&#8221;
It&#8217;s worth pointing out that the unlock amounted to about 5% of SOL&#8217;s total trading volume of $4 billion in the last 24 hours.
Solana allows one to lock up their SOL holdings to help secure the network and earn rewards in the process. One can deactivate their stake and, after waiting for a cooldown period, withdraw their tokens with the rewards.
As of this writing, over $44 billion worth of SOL was staked to the network, <a href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/asset/solana/analytics">according </a>to Staking Rewards, with an annualized reward rate of over 8%.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, SOL was exchanging hands at $114.81, down 4.33% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Whales Dump Millions In Solana Ahead Of Record Single-Day Unstaking — SOL Dips

While most discussions on trade and tariffs center around manufacturing and merchandise, software and service providers can be just as vulnerable. 
According to analysts, e-commerce software vendors and platforms such as&nbsp;Shopify Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>),&nbsp;Bigcommerce Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIGC#NASDAQ">BIGC</a>), and&nbsp;Lightspeed Commerce Inc.&nbsp;(TSE: LSPD) are now the &#8216;most exposed&#8217; due to recent events.
What Happened: On Wednesday, President Donald Trump closed the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-closes-de-minimis-exemptions-to-combat-chinas-role-in-americas-synthetic-opioid-crisis/">De Minimis exemption</a> for China and Hong Kong, which allowed low-value imports worth less than $800 to enter the United States duty-free.
This order is set to go into effect on May 2, 2025, with the President blaming deceptive practices used by Chinese shipping companies, along with the rise of fentanyl coming from China, for the decision.
According to analyst<a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/ecommerce-software-vendors-most-exposed-to-trump-tariffs-says-bofa-4755567">s</a> at Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), this is a major setback for e-commerce platforms such as Shopify and Bigcommerce. Duties imposed on the merchandise flowing through their platforms will certainly impact volumes, affecting their revenue models, as <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/ecommerce-software-vendors-most-exposed-to-trump-tariffs-says-bofa-4755567">reported</a> by Investing.com
The analysts stated that with intensifying competition in the e-commerce space, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44542821/inflation-will-accelerate-in-coming-months-if-april-2-tariffs-take-effect-economist-warns">passing the higher costs to consumers</a> is no longer an option. On the other hand, enterprise software firms are better insulated from this impact, given their focus on domestic clients, and less reliance on global trade.

Why It Matters: Every day, 4 million de minimis shipments from China are processed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection before being allowed into the country duty-free. Now, they will be charged either 30% of their value, or $25 per item, going up to $50 per item on June 1st, according to the White House fact sheet.

Trump Ends De Minimis Exemptions: Shopify, BigCommerce And Lightspeed Face New Headwinds

U.S. markets plunged on Thursday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday">erasing $2 trillion in value</a>, as billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban warned consumers to stock up on everyday items before retailers use new tariffs to justify widespread price increases.
What Happened: &#8220;It&#8217;s not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now,&#8221; the Cost Plus Drugs co-founder wrote on Bluesky. &#8220;From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if made in the USA, they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.&#8221;
Cuban&#8217;s warning comes as President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping reciprocal tariffs sent shockwaves through global markets. The S&amp;P 500, tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), fell 4.93%. Technology giants were hit particularly hard, with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) down 9.25% and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) tumbling 8.98%.

Why It Matters: Evidence of economic stress appeared in the latest Institute for Supply Management report, which showed the Services Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44629640/us-services-sector-slows-sharply-as-hiring-drops-tariff-pressures-mount">falling sharply to 50.9% in March</a>, down from 53.5% in February and barely above the 50% threshold separating expansion from contraction. The employment component plunged to 46.2% from 53.9%, with 19.2% of respondents planning to reduce staffing.
Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach noted apparel, footwear, and home furnishings will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44634737/retailers-brace-for-higher-costs-as-us-tariff-rates-soar-says-goldman-sachs">likely face the steepest cost</a> increases, with companies like RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) and Williams-Sonoma Inc.

Mark Cuban Warns Of Price Hikes, Says 'Buy Consumables Now,' Before Retailers Blame Tariffs

Dan Ives, an analyst from Wedbush Securities, has warned that the idea of manufacturing Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) products, including iPhones, in the U.S. is not feasible and would result in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/04/44629335/apple-stock-slammed-by-trump-tariffs-is-a-death-cross-next">significantly higher costs</a>.
What Happened: Ives shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, and said, "If you like a $3,500 iPhone, we should build them in the US or a $1,000 iPhone built in China. Discuss below."
He shared an image from a note that stated, "Making Apple products and iPhones in the U.S. sounds great behind the microphones in the 202 area code&#8230;but in reality, they are a fantasy tale that in our view will never happen."
He went on to stress that moving production to the U.S. would likely drive iPhone prices up by two to three times.
He said that the logistics of moving iPhone manufacturing to the U.S. would be a "non-starter" at the current price point. "For U.S. consumers, the reality of a $1,000 iPhone being one of the best-made consumer products on the planet would disappear."

Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF International Securities, also weighed in on the situation, suggesting that while Apple has made progress in shifting some production outside China, it faces substantial challenges due to the Donald Trump administration's tariffs.
"If Apple keeps prices unchanged, its overall gross margin could significantly drop by an estimated 8.5-9%," he stated.

Why It Matters: President Trump&#8217;s broad new trade tariffs rattled global markets on Thursday, sparking a massive sell-off reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic era.
Wall Street saw a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday">staggering $2 trillion in market value erased</a>, with the 10 largest U.S. companies alone losing $1 trillion. Apple tumbled 9.25%, facing its steepest decline since March 2020 and shedding nearly $300 billion in market capitalization.
Rosenblatt analyst Barton Crockett estimated that Apple could be hit with $39.5 billion in tariff costs based on initial calculations. He noted that nearly 100% of iPhones sold in the U.S. are manufactured in China, along with 90% of Macs, 80% of iPads, 90% of Apple Watches, and 35% of AirPods.
While some of these products are also produced in Vietnam, both China and Vietnam <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44632659/trump-tariffs-could-blow-up-apple-analyst-estimates-39-5-billion-impact">face steep tariffs of 54% and 46%</a>, respectively.
Price Action: Apple shares have declined 16.67% year-to-date, but over the past 12 months, the stock has gained 17.77%, <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.

Apple Making iPhones In America A Fantasy That Sounds Great 'Behind The Microphones,' Says Top Analyst Dan Ives

South Korea&#8217;s suspended president, Yoon Suk Yeol, was removed from office Friday after the country&#8217;s Constitutional Court unanimously upheld parliament&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42497084/south-korean-lawmakers-impeach-yoon-over-martial-law-attempt">impeachment over his December martial law declaration</a>.
What Happened: All eight justices voted to strip Yoon of presidential powers, concluding he had &#8220;committed a grave betrayal of the trust of the people&#8221; and created widespread chaos in society, the economy, and foreign policy, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/04/south-korea-president-yoon-suk-yeol-impeachment-verdict-results-removal">reported</a> The Guardian.
Acting president Han Duck-soo will remain in office until a new leader is elected within 60 days. Han pledged to ensure &#8220;there are no gaps in national security and diplomacy&#8221; during the transition period.
&#8220;The defendant not only declared martial law, but also violated the constitution and laws by mobilizing military and police forces to obstruct the exercise of legislative authority,&#8221; said acting chief justice Moon Hyung-bae in the televised ruling.

Why It Matters: South Korea&#8217;s National Assembly initially impeached Yoon in mid-December after he imposed martial law, claiming it was necessary to prevent &#8220;anti-state&#8221; opposition forces with North Korean sympathies from threatening the country. Lawmakers defied security forces to reject the order, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42320772/south-koreas-president-to-be-impeached-in-2024-polymarket-traders-are-unsure">forcing Yoon to lift it after just six hours</a>.
The ruling People Power Party said it &#8220;solemnly accepts and humbly respects&#8221; the court&#8217;s decision, while Yoon&#8217;s lawyer called the judgment &#8220;completely incomprehensible&#8221; and a &#8220;purely political decision.&#8221;
Political uncertainty has weighed on South Korean markets. The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>) closed at $53.14, down 2.73%, while the Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLKR#NYSE">FLKR</a>) ended at $18.09, down 2.79% on Thursday. As of Friday, 12:37 p.m. local time, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index or KOSPI was down 1.49%, trading at 2,449.69.

South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol Removed, Court Says President 'Committed A Grave Betrayal'

A prominent cryptocurrency analytics firm highlighted XRP&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) growing popularity among retail investors on Thursday, contrasting it with Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) more institutionally driven rally.
What Happened: In an X post,&nbsp;Glassnode&nbsp;pointed out a significant divergence between XRP&#8217;s and Bitcoin&#8217;s rally paths. 
Since the 2022 cycle low,&nbsp;XRP has seen a 490% increase in active addresses, while Bitcoin has only seen a 10% increase, the research firm said, an indication of &#8220;sharp&#8221; retail interest.
Glassnode noted that despite similar price gains since&nbsp;the 2022 cycle low, roughly 5x to 6x, the trajectories of the two cryptocurrencies have differed significantly. Bitcoin has shown steady, catalyst-driven growth, while XRP&nbsp;traded flat until a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42324828/xrp-price-explodes-415-in-30-days-experts-analyze-why-xrp-is-going-up">December&nbsp;breakout</a>, driven by short-term retail&nbsp;speculation.

Moreover, XRP&#8217;s realized market capitalization, a measure of the total capital invested, surged from $30 billion to $64 billion during this period, with more than half coming from investors in the last six months. This indicated that the rally was retail-driven.
It&#8217;s also worth noting that search interest for XRP hit 100 earlier in January, according to Google Trends, indicating peak popularity. However, the excitement has considerably ebbed since then.
Why It Matters: The analysis comes at a time when leading cryptocurrencies have held steady, even as stock markets have been battered by tariff moves. On Thursday,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44640359/bitcoin-ethereum-steady-dogecoin-falls-as-trump-trade-moves-crash-stocks-why-arthur-hayes-be">Bitcoin dipped below $82,000</a>&nbsp;in the early trading hours but recovered to $83,000 by evening. 
On the broader timeframe, though, it has been a rough ride, with Bitcoin and XRP losing 5.42% and 18%, respectively, over the month.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, XRP was exchanging hands at $2.05, down 0.01% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

XRP Emerges As Retail Favorite, Outpacing Bitcoin's Institutional Rally: Analyst Unpacks Their Distinct Journeys

On Thursday,&nbsp;Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made a significant move by purchasing shares of&nbsp;Robinhood Markets Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>). This strategic investment comes as Robinhood continues to expand its platform, enhancing its financial services offerings.
The Robinhood Trade
Ark Invest purchased 36,250 shares of Robinhood on Thursday. The trade, executed through the ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), amounted to approximately $1.39 million based on Robinhood&#8217;s last closing price of $38.26. The stock corrected by over 10% amid a broader <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday">market slump</a> triggered by the imposition of trade tariffs by President Donald Trump. This move follows a series of investments by Ark in Robinhood.
On Wednesday, Ark purchased 6,875 shares of Robinhood through ARKK. That trade was valued at roughly $293,425. The Wood-led firm has consistently been purchasing the stock this week.

Robinhood is undergoing a significant transformation, as it recently launched an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44528951/robinhood-expands-into-banking-will-offer-customers-4-savings-apy-and-cash-home-delivery">integrated suite of financial services.</a> This includes the introduction of Robinhood Banking, which offers checking and savings accounts with a competitive 4% annual percentage yield. The service also provides Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance coverage up to $2.5 million through Coastal Community Bank, a subsidiary of Coastal Financial Corp. This expansion aims to attract retail investors seeking more sophisticated private banking and investment solutions.

What Happened: &#8220;My advice to foreign leaders is that if you have not already reached out to President Donald Trump, you need to do so immediately,&#8221; the Pershing Square Capital Management CEO wrote Thursday on X. &#8220;Trump is, at his core, a dealmaker who sees the world as a series of transactions.&#8221;

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) dropped 8.98%.
The investor emphasized Trump&#8217;s negotiation approach: &#8220;Based on his track record to date with foreign governments, law firms, and universities, he is a tough, but fair negotiator. He loves to make deals and he loves to get things done promptly.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Ackman&#8217;s perspective aligns with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44630931/commerce-secretary-lutnick-says-us-markets-will-perform-extremely-well-long-term-despite-trump-tariff-selloff">the market reaction would be short-lived</a>. &#8220;I expect most countries to start to really examine their trade policy towards the United States of America,&#8221; Lutnick said, suggesting America&#8217;s trading partners would ultimately adjust their policies.

China has <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44620889/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-roil-markets-as-china-slams-typical-unilateral-bullying-asian-markets-plunge">already threatened countermeasures</a>, calling Trump&#8217;s actions &#8220;typical unilateral bullying.&#8221; 
Ackman concluded his message with stark advice: &#8220;Countries that respond with additional tariffs on our goods will be severely punished. The carrot and the stick writ large, Big Boy style&#8230; Just pick up the phone. Call the President, and make a deal.&#8221;

Bill Ackman: 'Just Pick Up The Phone'—Says Trump Will Reward Early Dealmakers, Punish Foreign Tariff Retaliation

Editor&#8217;s Note: A typographical error in the headline of this story has been corrected.
Cryptocurrency bettors sharply upped the odds of a U.S. recession Thursday following President Donald Trump's worse-than-expected "Liberation Day" tariff rollout.
What happened: The odds in favor of the betting <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/us-recession-in-2025">contract</a> titled "US recession in 2025?" shot up from 46% to 54% in the last 24 hours on Polymarket. A week ago, the likelihood of this happening was 38%.
Over $1 million has already been wagered on the outcome on the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-based prediction platform. This market will resolve to &#8220;Yes&#8221; if the National Bureau of Economic Research declares a recession in the U.S. before January 1, 2026.&nbsp;
Alternatively, if the seasonally adjusted annualized percent change in quarterly U.S. real GDP is negative for two consecutive quarters, the condition will be met.
Note that Polymarket is not available to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41838037/will-polymarket-return-to-the-us-after-getting-trump-victory-right-ceo-says-its-part-of-the-plan"> U.S. residents </a>due to regulatory hurdles.

A similar bet on the federally regulated betting platform Kalshi showed odds at 54%, up from a low of 17% in the first quarter.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), however, held steady during the day.

Influential economist Justin Wolfers also chimed in, stating, "The chance of a 2025 recession have risen enormously. (And pointlessly.)

Recession In 2025? Crypto Bettors Now See Over 50% Probability After Trump's Sweeping Tariff Rollout (CORRECTED)

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is reportedly set to acquire a 20% stake in a new joint venture with Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), aimed at addressing the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44271204/tsmc-proposes-joint-venture-with-nvidia-amd-and-broadcom-to-operate-intels-factories-report">U.S. chipmaker's ongoing struggles</a>, including its $18.8 billion net loss in 2024.
What Happened: Intel and TSMC have reached a preliminary agreement to form a joint venture that will take over the operations of Intel's manufacturing facilities, reported Reuters <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/intel-tsmc-tentatively-agree-form-chipmaking-joint-venture">via</a> The Information. 
TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, will hold a 20% stake in the new venture, the report noted.

Why It Matters: The deal <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43638878/intel-shares-are-up-today-whats-going-on">comes amid pressure</a> from U.S. government officials, including the White House and the Commerce Department, who have pushed both companies to resolve Intel's ongoing manufacturing and customer service challenges. Intel has struggled to manufacture chips for external clients, which has led to delays and failed tests.
Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44298588/lip-bu-tan-got-high-praise-from-tsmc-founder-morris-chang-for-saving-cadence-from-pretty-big-trouble-will-the-magic-work-at-the-new-intel">Intel appointed chip industry</a> veteran Lip-Bu Tan as its CEO to spearhead its revival efforts. Despite these challenges, TSMC has been active in the U.S., with plans for a $100 billion investment in new chip facilities over the next few years.
The new CEO has been <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44555938/intels-new-ceo-refuses-to-sugarcoat-the-companys-2024-performance-vows-to-align-spending-with-market-demand">candid about the company&#8217;s challenges</a>, emphasizing the need to align spending with market demand.

Previously, it was reported that the joint venture, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44271204/tsmc-proposes-joint-venture-with-nvidia-amd-and-broadcom-to-operate-intels-factories-report">could see other companies</a> like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) take stakes, is part of a broader strategy to turn around Intel's fortunes after the company reported a significant loss in 2024.
Meanwhile, TSMC&#8217;s expansion in the U.S. has reportedly raised concerns in Taiwan about the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44486436/tsmcs-165-billion-bet-on-us-chip-manufacturing-raises-alarms-in-taiwan-amid-china-threat-experts-warn-taipei-must-plan-beyond-its-silicon-shield">potential risks associated</a> with such a significant investment abroad.
Price Action: TSMC shares are down 11.55% year-to-date, while Intel has gained 10.93% over the same period. However, over the past 12 months, TSMC is up 20.31%, whereas Intel has plunged 44.38%, <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga's Edge Rankings, Intel holds a growth rating of 3.47%. Curious how TSMC stacks up? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see the full comparison</a>.
