Chi sale e chi scende: i maggiori movimenti nel pre-market di oggi

U.S. stock futures advanced on Wednesday after ending on a mixed note on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading higher.
President Donald Trump announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46305321/copper-price-surges-trump-tariffs-stocks-july-2025">50% tariff on copper imports</a> and confirmed the &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; tariffs, paused in April, will resume on Aug. 1, stating, &#8220;no extensions will be granted&#8221; to countries without finalized deals by that date. 
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.41% and the two-year bond was at 3.90%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;s</a> projections show markets pricing a 95.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Jeffrey Buchbinder, the chief equity strategist at LPL Financial, forecasted modest gains for equities in its mid-year outlook.
&#8220;AI-driven capex remains a key tailwind, but tariff-related earnings pressure and elevated valuations may cap upside. Pullbacks should be viewed as selective buying opportunities,&#8221; he said.
LPL's year-end S&amp;P 500 target range was set at 6,000 to 6,100 points, based on $275 in 2026 EPS.
Meanwhile, the senior economist at WisdomTree, Jeremy Siegel, said that &#8220;Equity markets found encouragement, not because employment showed strength, but because it did not show further deterioration.&#8221;
Talking about AI, he said, &#8220;Companies able to leverage AI for productivity gains—particularly in financials and traditional industries—are poised to outperform.&#8221;
Siegel also stated that he will be closely watching for a potential shift in market leadership. &#8220;July has opened strongly for smaller caps, but I believe the stage is set for a longer-lasting rotation.&#8221;
&#8220;If users begin to invest in cost-saving technologies under the pressure of higher tariffs or wage costs, value could finally have its day,&#8221; he added.

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher: Trump's Tariff Clock Ticks, Fed Likely To Keep Rates Unchanged

Today, Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VG#NYSE">VG</a>) and Securing Energy for Europe GmbH (SEFE) announced the finalization of an agreement under which SEFE's subsidiary, SEFE Energy GmbH, will purchase an additional 0.75 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from CP2 LNG, Venture Global's third project, for 20 years. Today's announcement amends the existing Sales and Purchase Agreement signed by the companies in 2023, increasing the total volume of LNG purchased by SEFE from CP2 LNG to 3.0 MTPA.
Venture Global is expected to become Germany's largest LNG supplier, with a combined 5 MTPA of 20-year offtake agreements signed with SEFE and EnBW. In addition to its existing long-term agreements, Venture Global to date has supplied Germany with almost 80 cargoes of LNG from its Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines LNG facilities, enough to power 8 million German homes for one year.

Space industry companies have reportedly made a plea to Congress, seeking to safeguard the funding for&nbsp;the Office of Space Commerce&nbsp;(OSC).
What Happened:&nbsp;Over&nbsp;450 U.S. space, satellite, and&nbsp;defense companies have petitioned&nbsp;the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice,&nbsp;and Science to uphold the OSC&#8217;s funding at the Fiscal Year 2025 level of $65 million&nbsp;in the Fiscal Year 2026&nbsp;appropriations bill. The letters also advocated for the continuation of funds allocated to the OSC in Fiscal Year 2025,&nbsp;<a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5391185-space-industry-companies-congress-funding-space-commerce-office/">reported</a>&nbsp;The Hill on Monday.
The Office of Space Commerce (OSC), part of the Department of Commerce, is tasked with developing space commerce policy and promoting the economic growth and technological progress of the U.S. commercial space sector.
The letters, sent to Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), along with Representatives Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) and Grace Meng (D-N.Y.), highlighted the critical role of the OSC in providing space traffic coordination support to U.S. satellite operators—paralleling the Federal Aviation Administration's responsibilities in managing air traffic for the nation&#8217;s airline industry.
The letters stressed that helping the U.S. space industry operate safely amid an increasingly crowded space environment is essential to maintaining access to space-based services such as broadband internet and weather forecasting for the American public.

Why It Matters: The appeal from the space industry comes at a crucial time when the U.S. government is making significant decisions regarding space-related funding and policies.
Earlier this year, the OSC faced&nbsp;layoffs&nbsp;due to budget constraints, raising concerns about the future of the office. However, the recent appeal from industry leaders suggests a strong push to secure the necessary funding for the OSC&#8217;s continued operations, reported SpaceNews.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government has been showing a growing interest in space exploration and commercialization. In May, President Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/05/45708311/president-trump-proposes-1-billion-for-private-sector-mars-exploration-report">proposed a budget</a>&nbsp;of over $1 billion for Mars initiatives, aiming to involve private companies in the exploration of the red planet. This move could potentially open up new opportunities for the U.S. commercial space industry, further highlighting the significance of the OSC&#8217;s role in shaping space commerce policies.
However, amid Trump&#8217;s rift with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, shares of Rocket Lab Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) have been on the rise. Over the past month, it surged 30.7%. The stock has also been added to the Russell 1000 index recently, while it made major progress with its successful Electron launches in June.

After thirteen years of leading Auddia and its predecessor, Clip Interactive, Michael Lawless is retiring.
The Company has added three new independent board members with experience in AI infrastructure and the evaluation of entrepreneurial opportunities. The new board members are Nick Balletta, Emmanuel de Boucaud, and Josh Sroge. They are replacing existing independent board members Steve Deitsch, Tim Hanlon, and Tom Birch. The new board has formed a special committee of independent members to evaluate a transformative business combination opportunity to restructure into an AI native holding company that delivers enhanced AI capabilities to its portfolio companies.
Jeff Thramann will continue to serve as Auddia's chairman and in his new role as CEO will oversee the proposed restructuring as directed by the special committee. If a restructuring is consummated, Jeff Thramann will serve as CEO of the holding company and Auddia will become a fully owned subsidiary. It is expected that a new Auddia CEO will be named around that time.
The mission of the holding company to be evaluated by the special committee will be to deliver enhanced AI capabilities to portfolio companies through a proprietary AI data center solution and a centralized AI leadership and development team. The AI data center offering is expected to significantly lower the cost of training AI models and running inference on these models for the holding company's portfolio companies.
The AI leadership team will work with portfolio companies to institute an AI first culture with respect to leveraging AI to improve operational efficiencies, while the centralized AI development team will aim to deliver world class data analytics and machine learning expertise to portfolio companies. By centralizing AI talent at the holding company level, management believes portfolio companies will have access to a higher level of talent than they can secure individually. It is also expected that the cross pollination achieved by allocating central AI resources across multiple portfolio companies will result in greater innovation and superior AI model development.
The announced leadership changes and proposed restructuring are the result of a comprehensive analysis of strategic alternatives over the past nine months led by Jeff Thramann and the board in partnership with the management team and outside consultants. The process has resulted in an updated plan for faidr as well as an opportunity to evaluate a business combination that is expected to serve as the catalyst supporting the Company's proposed restructuring.

Two Ragnarok Titles From Gravity Achieve Top Rankings In Taiwan, Hong Kong, And Macau Following July 3 Launch

Cryptocurrency bettors now estimate a 50% possibility that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates for the first time in 2025 during its September meeting.
What happened: As of this writing, the <a href="https://polymarket.com/dashboards/fed-rates">odds</a> of a 25 basis point cut were at 50% on the decentralized prediction platform Polymarket. On the other hand, the odds that rates will remain unchanged from the current 4.25%-4.50% range were 44%.
The probability of rates going unchanged during the July meeting was 96%.
These bets were roughly consistent with the CME FedWatch tracker, which <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">showed </a>a 95% chance of rates remaining steady in July. For September, traders priced in a 62% chance of a 0.25% rate cut.
Goldman Sachs economists also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46188699/goldman-sachs-now-expects-3-fed-rate-cuts-in-2025-amid-weak-jobs-data-modest-trump-tariff-effects">anticipate a rate cut in September</a>, three months earlier than they had previously forecast, due to the lower-than-expected impact of tariffs.

The shares representing the correct outcome are paid out $1 USDC each upon market resolution.
The platform is not accessible in the U.S. due to regulatory restrictions.
Why It Matters: The jump in odds comes in the wake of President Donald Trump's escalating criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Trump reiterated his call for Powell to &#8220;resign immediately&#8221; and asked for a congressional investigation into allegations that the Fed Chair gave<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46237506/trump-says-jerome-powell-should-resign-immediately-after-fhfa-director-alleges-fed-chair-lied-about-2-5-billion-renovation-plan"> false information</a> during a Senate Banking Committee testimony.

Polymarket Bettors See 50% Chance Of Fed September Rate Cuts As Trump Turns Up Heat On Powell

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), a leading AI server manufacturer, plans to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">increase its investment</a> in Europe to meet surging demand for AI infrastructure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">European Expansion Driven By Soaring AI Demand</h2>
The company, which already operates manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands, is exploring additional European locations for expansion, CNBC reported on Wednesday, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/09/super-micro-to-ramp-up-investment-in-europe-to-capitalize-on-ai-demand.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">citing</a> Super Micro&#8217;s chief, Charles Liang.
Liang attributes this accelerated investment to the rapid growth of European demand for AI solutions, a trend he expects to persist globally for many years.

This move follows Super Micro&#8217;s June 11 expansion of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45881923/supermicro-teams-up-with-nvidia-to-supercharge-europes-ai-factories-with-powerful-server-solutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI server solutions</a> into the European market, offering over 30 stack options for swift enterprise deployment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Domestic Production Also Scaling Up</h2>
While focusing on Europe, Super Micro is also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45541908/supermicro-eyes-texas-mississippi-for-ai-server-growth-as-microsoft-amazon-increase-spending" rel="noreferrer noopener">expanding its server production capacity</a> in U.S. states like Mississippi and Texas. This domestic expansion is driven by the substantial investments from tech giants such as Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in building data centers for AI model deployment and training.
The company also credited President Trump&#8217;s localization initiative as a key factor driving its domestic expansion efforts. However, at that time, Liang also pointed to production difficulties in the U.S., citing elevated costs and the absence of a domestic semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem for over 30 years. He said the long gap left American infrastructure and labor unfamiliar with the demands of manufacturing roles.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Performance And Financial Headwinds</h2>
Despite its strong performance year-to-date, with the stock up over 61% and significantly outperforming the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 6% gain amidst the AI frenzy, Super Micro has faced recent headwinds. The stock plunged over 45% in the last 12 months, lagging the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 11% gains. This decline was largely due to increased scrutiny over the company&#8217;s internal financing controls, including the resignation of its independent auditor last October, which led to delayed financial filings.
Ongoing tariff uncertainties have also impacted the company, resulting in postponed orders and a downward revision of its fiscal year revenue guidance. Super Micro now forecasts fiscal year revenue between $21.8 billion and $22.6 billion, a reduction from its earlier projection of $23.5 billion to $25 billion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strong Growth Trajectory Maintained</h2>
Nevertheless, Liang reiterated to CNBC on Wednesday that Super Micro maintains a robust growth trajectory by advancing its core technologies and broadening its business footprint.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Outlook</h2>
Analysts have set a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus price forecast</a> of $276.50 for Super Micro, based on ratings from 21 firms.

President Donald Trump fired back at Democrats on Wednesday over their inflation messaging, declaring on X that he &#8220;brought down costs more than any President in recorded history&#8221; and calling Democratic claims &#8220;a total LIE.&#8221;
What Happened: &#8220;I brought down costs more than any President in recorded history. The Crooked Democrats are using the opposite narrative, even though they know it is a total LIE. Remember this when you hear their phony soundbites. MAGA!!!&#8221; Trump posted on the social media platform.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="322" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09050122/image-97-1024x322.png" alt="" class="wp-image-977932" style="width:593px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09050122/image-97-1024x322.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09050122/image-97-300x94.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09050122/image-97-768x241.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09050122/image-97.png 1190w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The president&#8217;s remarks come as inflation pressures mount across multiple fronts. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index rose 2.3% year-over-year in May, while core PCE accelerated to 2.7%, exceeding Federal Reserve targets and marking the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46137796/inflation-is-heating-up-again-are-tariffs-to-blame">first uptick after a two-month slowdown</a>.

Why It Matters: Economic data shows personal income fell 0.4% month-over-month in May, the first decline since September 2021, while consumer spending contracted 0.1%.

Trump&#8217;s tariff policies face scrutiny as potential inflation drivers. However, Amazon.com Inc. CEO Andy Jassy told CNBC the company &#8220;hasn&#8217;t seen prices appreciably go up&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46188202/tom-lee-calls-amazon-an-early-signal-as-andy-jassy-says-no-price-hike-despite-trump-tariffs-absence-of-inflation-is-a-positive-sign">despite widespread tariff implementation</a>, citing forward buying and seller inventory strategies.
Fundstrat&#8217;s Tom Lee highlighted Amazon as a critical early inflation indicator, noting the retail giant&#8217;s massive import volume positions it to &#8220;see inflation early,&#8221; making the &#8220;absence of inflation = positive&#8221; for broader economic conditions.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testified to Congress that tariff increases &#8220;are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity,&#8221; though effects could be &#8220;short-lived&#8221; or &#8220;more persistent&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46077396/powell-interest-rates-trump-inflation-tariffs">depending on the implementation scale</a>.

Trump Slams Democrats Over Inflation Narrative, Says He Cut Costs 'More Than Any President In History'

Used car prices are surging in the U.S., driven by the volatility around President Donald Trump's tariffs.
What Happened: The Manheim Index, a metric used to track used car prices in the U.S., has surged 1.6% in June from May and 6.3% year-on-year, the single largest increase since August 2022, data shared by Cox Automotive in a press release showcased on Tuesday.
"Wholesale appreciation trends have been more volatile over Q2 as tariffs really impacted new sales and supply, which impacted the used marketplace as well," Cox Automotive&#8217;s Senior Director of Economic and Industry Insights, Jeremy Robb, said.
&#8220;Retail sales continue to run a bit hotter than prior years, and off-lease supply into the market is still on a downward path, two factors which should be fairly supportive of higher values as we move onward,&#8221; Robb said in the release.
The index has caught the eye of private economists and Fed officials in recent years, especially during the pandemic, as a marker for longer bouts of inflation.
Why It Matters: The 25% auto tariffs have had a significant impact on the U.S. auto sector, with many automakers pulling their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45150325/gm-cut-its-2025-forecast-on-tariffs-but-core-business-holds-up-says-goldman-sachs">yearly guidance</a> due to the uncertainty and volatility in the market.
Recently, Japan's top trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, called the 25% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46109160/japans-top-trade-negotiator-calls-trumps-25-auto-tariffs-unacceptable-amid-ongoing-talks">auto tariffs unacceptable</a> for Japanese manufacturers. "We have repeatedly explained to the U.S. that Japan&#8217;s automobile industry has made an enormous contribution to the U.S. economy," Akazawa said.
However, Trump had earlier indicated that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45919154/trump-says-he-may-hike-auto-tariffs-again-to-boost-domestic-production-the-higher-you-go-they-build-a-plant-here">could raise the tariffs</a> once again in a bid to boost domestic production in the U.S. "The higher you go, the more likely it is they build a plant here," he had said. Trump recently also sent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46263813/trump-to-send-take-it-or-leave-it-tariff-letters-to-12-countries-on-monday-report">"take it or leave it" letters</a> to 12 countries over the tariffs.

Used Car Prices See Biggest Surge Since 2022 As Trump Tariffs Shake Auto Market: Report

The Wall Street Journal Reported, DoJ Prosecutors Question Doctors About UnitedHealth's Medicare Billing Practices

Carvana Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) has delivered a staggering 9,644% gain from its pandemic-era lows in 2022, but CNBC's Jim Cramer believes the used-car e-retailer is only just getting started.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVNA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CVNA stock here</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Cramer reiterated his long-term bullish stance on Carvana, on CNBC&#8217;s Mad Money, citing its operational turnaround, a blowout first-quarter earnings report, and a massive market opportunity still left to capture. 
&#8220;This quarter, we sold nearly 134,000 cars and generated just shy of 500 million of adjusted EBITDA. And we did this with just 1% of the overall market,&#8221; Cramer said, quoting Carvana's latest shareholder letter.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46262741/100-invested-in-this-stock-5-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">$100 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today</a>
Despite its volatility and the fact that the stock has nearly doubled since April, Cramer says he remains a &#8220;true believer&#8221; in the leadership of CEO Ernie Garcia. &#8220;Carvana has built a best-in-class business model, and management is on track to deliver both strong growth and rising profitability,&#8221; he said.
Cramer says the stock went into overdrive after its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45235162/carvana-q1-earnings-preview-amazon-of-auto-retail-looks-to-beat-estimates-for-5th-straight-quarter">first quarter results</a> on May 7, when it posted $1.51 per share in earnings, well ahead of consensus estimates at $0.73 per share. The company further delivered a record 46% growth in retail unit sales, alongside a 38% year-over-year growth in revenue.
&#8220;I mean, come on, they more than doubled what the analysts were expecting,&#8221; Cramer says, while highlighting the long-term financial goals set by the management, at 3 million units per year and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.5% over the next 5 to 10 years. The figures currently stand at 460,000 units and 10.1% margins.
While Cramer acknowledged near-term risks, including potential pullbacks, rising interest rates, and insider selling by Garcia, he emphasized that &#8220;insiders sell for many reasons&#8221; and dismissed those moves as noise rather than a signal.
&#8220;If you don't own it already, you do have my blessing to put on a small position here,&#8221; Cramer concluded, urging investors to be ready to buy more on weakness.
Why It Matters: The company that&#8217;s often dubbed the &#8220;Amazon of Auto Retail&#8221; has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVNA/analyst-ratings">bullish consensus</a> among analysts, with a high-end price target of $440, representing an upside of 27% from current levels. 
President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs were seen as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45276870/carvana-ceo-believes-tariffs-could-benefit-used-cars-as-it-achieves-long-term-profitability-goal-years-ahead-of-schedule">a significant tailwind</a> for Carvana, with the CEO saying that they could allow the company to achieve long-term profitability years ahead of schedule.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman had a similar thesis, but for Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>), saying that the tariffs could lead to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44889381/ackman-bets-big-on-hertz-as-tariff-tailwinds-boost-fleet-value-investing-is-risky-there-are-no-guarantees-of-a-successful-outcome">surge in used-car prices</a>, increasing the value of existing inventory. The same applies to Carvana and its peers in the used-car retailing business. 
Price Action: Shares of Carvana were down 3.19% on Tuesday, trading at $345.92, and are up 0.17% after hours.

Fundstrat Global Advisors Head of Research Tom Lee compared Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) to Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) for the younger generation, drawing parallels to how discount brokers emerged for baby boomers in the 1980s.
What Happened: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s the Morgan Stanley of this young generation,&#8221; Lee said during an interview with Amit Kukreja. &#8220;What people forget is in the 1980s, Wall Street was this old boys network and a few brokers were starting up for the baby boomers.&#8221;
Lee referenced how Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) began as a newsletter before becoming a broker, alongside E-Trade, to serve the boomer generation. &#8220;That is Robinhood today,&#8221; he said.
The strategist praised Robinhood&#8217;s cryptocurrency integration and user interface, calling the company &#8220;incredibly smart&#8221; for understanding the importance of design and making strategic moves. Lee&#8217;s firm operates the Fundstrat Granny Shots U.S. Large Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRNY#NYSE">GRNY</a>), which holds a 3.52% position in Robinhood shares.
Robinhood&#8217;s stock has surged following aggressive cryptocurrency expansion plans, including the planned acquisition of Bitstamp crypto exchange and commission-free tokenized U.S. equities for European customers. CEO Vlad Tenev aims to establish &#8220;crypto as the backbone of the global financial system.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The fintech company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46297741/robinhoods-openai-space-x-tokens-arent-just-a-gimmick-heres-whats-still-to-come">recently launched tokenized versions</a> of over 200 publicly listed equities across Europe, offering 24/5 access to U.S. stock exposure. It also introduced non-tradable private stock tokens for OpenAI and SpaceX as promotional giveaways.
However, Robinhood faces regulatory scrutiny as Lithuania&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46297741/robinhoods-openai-space-x-tokens-arent-just-a-gimmick-heres-whats-still-to-come">central bank seeks clarification on its tokenized equity</a> products. The company was also excluded from the latest S&amp;P 500 index reconstitution, causing a brief stock retreat.
Despite challenges, Robinhood&#8217;s market capitalization of $80.54 billion positions it as a significant player compared to Morgan Stanley&#8217;s $226.42 billion and Charles Schwab&#8217;s $167.07 billion market caps.

Tom Lee Calls Robinhood 'Morgan Stanley' For Gen Z, Draws 1980s Wall Street Broker Analogy To Explain Fintech's Rise

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;expressed his thoughts on the government cuts initiated by his one-time advisor,&nbsp;Elon Musk, and dismissed concerns about the impact of Musk&#8217;s new political party.
What Happened: Trump, during a Cabinet meeting, suggested that he might have executed the government cuts differently than Musk, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/08/trump-on-doge-cuts-i-would-have-done-it-differently-00442255">Politico</a>&nbsp;on Tuesday. He commended&nbsp;the Department of Government Efficiency&nbsp;(DOGE) for its reductions in the federal workforce, particularly noting the significant reduction at the Environmental Protection Agency.
"We could have done it differently," stated the President. "I would have done it differently, a little bit, maybe."
When asked about Musk&#8217;s decision to form the &#8216;America Party&#8217; after a public fallout over the Republican spending package, Trump downplayed the potential negative impact on the Republican party, stating that it might actually benefit him.
&nbsp;&#8220;I think it&#8217;ll help us. Third&nbsp;parties have always been good&nbsp;for me,&#8221; stated Trump.

Why It Matters: This statement by Trump comes in the wake of Musk&#8217;s controversial tenure as the head of&nbsp;the Department of Government Efficiency&nbsp;(DOGE). The DOGE initiative, intended to infuse Silicon Valley expertise into the federal government, was widely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45921017/trumps-doge-initiative-slammed-as-broke-humpty-dumpty-while-former-insider-sahil-lavingia-spills-shocking-details-no-salary-no-role-chaotic-work-culture-and-abrupt-exit-after-just-55-d">criticized </a>for its disorganized and dysfunctional structure by Gumroad founder Sahil Lavingia's based on his 55-day stint with the program.
On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNN that the principles of DOGE were "popular," not Elon Musk. 
Musk ended his role at DOGE by the end of May. The Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO&#8217;s subsequent move to establish a third party after displeasure over the &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217; has sparked speculation about its potential impact on the Republican party, with Trump&#8217;s recent comments adding to the ongoing political conversation.
