Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) has announced it will delay the launch of its Firefly EV in Europe to Q3, after it claimed to launch the product in the first half of 2025.
What Happened: The Chinese EV manufacturer cited constraints related to expanding its sales and services network within the region, which is proving to be more challenging than initially predicted, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Company CEO William Li spoke to reporters at an event in Shanghai ahead of the Shanghai Auto Show, sharing that the company plans to announce deals with European partners at the event and plans to seek additional local partners to aid in Nio's operations in Europe.
The report suggests the company is also developing a right-hand drive version of the Firefly with planned expansions into markets like SEA and the United Kingdom. The company also plans to begin operations in Singapore.
Why It Matters: News of the delay comes in as the company recently shared its Q1 2025 results, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44452057/teslas-chinese-rival-nio-warns-of-disappointing-q1-results-deliveries-revenue-set-to-miss-estimates">missed market estimates </a>by some distance. The company delivered close to 43,000 vehicles by March 31. Nio's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44582215/chinas-xpeng-clocks-record-q1-ev-sales-deliveries-surge-3-6x">cumulative deliveries </a>reached 713,625.
Elsewhere, Chinese battery giant CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited) held talks with Nio to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/04/44668137/nio-power-in-deal-talks-with-tesla-battery-supplier-catl">acquire a controlling stake</a> in the company's energy unit with a $343 million investment.
CATL also revealed the second generation of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44894382/tesla-battery-supplier-catl-unveils-new-fast-charging-battery-with-323-mile-range-in-five-minutes">Shenxing fast-charging battery</a>, which can provide a 323-mile range on a 5-minute charge.
Price Action: NIO is currently trading on the NYSE at $3.60, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

This Bitcoin Layer-2 Token Is Pushing Weekly Gains To 25%, Analyst Spots 'Big Buy' Signal

U.S. stocks plummeted Monday as $1.4 trillion in market value vanished, prompting Fundstrat&#8217;s Tom Lee to draw a parallel between the single-day loss and America&#8217;s annual trade deficit.
What Happened: Lee, Head of Research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, highlighted on X that &#8220;the loss in equity market cap today equals 1 &#8216;trade deficit,'&#8221; noting the U.S. 2024 trade deficit for goods was $1.2 trillion. He urged the White House to move with &#8220;expediency to close these trade deals.&#8221;
The market rout saw the S&amp;P 500 tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) sink 2.36% to 5,158.20, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average tracked by SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) tumbled 2.48%. The Nasdaq-100, tracked by Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), fell 2.46%.

Why It Matters: Monday&#8217;s selloff came amid renewed concerns about Federal Reserve independence after President Donald Trump demanded immediate rate cuts and criticized Fed Chair Jerome Powell as &#8220;Mr. Too Late.&#8221; Trump claimed there&#8217;s &#8220;virtually no inflation&#8221; and warned of an economic slowdown without prompt Fed action.

Tom Lee Says $1.4 Trillion Market Meltdown Matches Annual Trade Deficit, Presses White House To Fast-Track Deals

EV journalist and independent Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analyst Troy Teslike has released his first-quarter estimates ahead of the automaker's earnings announcement on Tuesday.
What Happened: On Monday, Troy Teslike unveiled his first-quarter projections for Tesla, offering a broadly mixed outlook on the company&#8217;s performance, relative to Wall Street expectations.
Teslike, who reports a self-verified error rate of just 1.4% on Tesla&#8217;s production and 3.0% on deliveries, expects the EV maker to post $19.21 billion in first-quarter revenue, a 10% year-over-year drop, 25% decline from the previous quarter, and below the $20 billion consensus estimate.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44914686/wall-street-consensus-outdated-on-tesla-q1-says-gary-black-stock-price-will-depend-on-affordable-car-commentary-elon-musks-doge-moves">Gary Black Says Wall Street Consensus Outdated On Tesla Q1: Stock Price Will Depend On Affordable Car Commentary, Elon Musk&#8217;s DOGE Moves</a>
The sharpest decline is projected in Tesla's core automotive sales and leasing segment, with revenue estimated at $13.40 billion, down 30% from the fourth quarter of 2024 and 21% year-over-year. Regulatory credit revenue is forecast at $564 million, marking an 18% sequential decline but a 27% increase from last year. Service revenue, by contrast, is down just 2% year-over-year.
Tesla's energy generation and storage division is expected to be a bright spot, with projected sales of $3.02 billion, up 84% year-over-year. However, even this falls short of consensus estimates, according to Teslike&#8217;s forecasts. 
<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">Hi everyone. Here's my detailed calculation for Tesla&#39;s Q1 2025 earnings: Non-GAAP EPS: • Analyst Consensus: $0.38 • My Estimate: $0.38 The last two columns show my estimate and the analyst consensus. We both arrived at the same EPS estimate, though some of the numbers,… <a href="https://t.co/vlWKsJG7aV">pic.twitter.com/vlWKsJG7aV</a>
&mdash; Troy Teslike (@TroyTeslike) <a href="https://twitter.com/TroyTeslike/status/1914423022435303456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 21, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Teslike's projections, however, outpace Wall Street on margins, with gross profit estimated at $3.45 billion versus the Street's $3.18 billion. He also expects gross margins at 17.9%, ahead of the 15.9% consensus, while attributing this to the absence of &#8220;0% Financing&#8221; offers for the Model Y in the U.S. in Q1.
There are a few other variations in his forecast, but Teslike ultimately lands on an earnings per share estimate of $0.38. matching analyst expectations, but marking a sharp 48% drop from the previous quarter, and a 16% decline year-over-year.
Why It Matters: The prolific Tesla analyst has been bearish on the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43214246/researcher-expects-teslas-vehicle-deliveries-to-remain-flat-in-2025-contrary-to-musks-20-30-growth-prediction">near-term prospects</a> since January, predicting that deliveries in 2025 will be flat, countering even Elon Musk&#8217;s claims of a 20% to 30% growth. 
In February, Teslike doubled down on his outlook, warning that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43967968/tesla-unlikely-to-deliver-500000-evs-in-a-quarter-in-2025-says-researcher-doesnt-seem-possible-this-year-either">situation had deteriorated</a> further. He said it was unlikely Tesla would reach 500,000 deliveries in any quarter of 2025, and even 450,000 could be a stretch, citing weakening brand sentiment as a key factor.
Tesla has been <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44778739/elon-musks-political-fallout-fuels-record-dump-of-used-tesla-cars-now-selling-for-thousands-below-market-value">grappling with political backlash</a> tied to Musk's affiliation with President Donald Trump. With protests dubbed &#8220;Tesla Takedown&#8221; gaining steam in recent months, there was a surge in Tesla models being dumped in used car markets, often at significantly lower prices.
There are, however, analysts who remain bullish on the stock, despite the headwinds facing the company and the larger auto market. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) analyst Adam Jonas said last month that the current <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/03/44305257/those-holding-how-are-you-coping-with-the-dump-tesla-investor-asks-fellow-shareholders-if-theyll-sell-or-ride-it-out-no-matter-what">pullback is an opportunity</a> to buy &#8220;the embodied AI compounder,&#8221; while maintaining a Price Target of $430, or a 90% upside from current levels.
Jonas cites the company&#8217;s plays, such as robotics and AI, as having far more appeal than its legacy EV business or its autonomous cars. &#8220;It is increasingly clear to us that the commercial opportunity of non-auto expressions of embodied AI is likely far larger and faster-adopting than that of autonomous cars,&#8221; he wrote, reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/morgan-stanley-sees-tesla-stock-reaching-430-reinstates-as-top-pick-over-ai-robotics-play-212959864.html">by</a> Yahoo Finance.

On Monday, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) dropped by 4.51% after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44897966/huawei-prepares-for-bulk-shipment-of-new-advanced-ai-chip-as-china-seeks-nvidia-alternatives">a report revealed</a> that Huawei Technologies is ramping up AI chip production, but a Bernstein analyst downplayed the significance, saying the AI chip giant &#8220;can&#8217;t compete&#8221; anyway in the Chinese market due to export restrictions.
What Happened: Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon told Yahoo Finance that Nvidia&#8217;s operations in China have been severely constrained due to U.S. export controls, which prevent the company from selling its top-tier AI chips like the A100 and H100.&nbsp;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t see why it matters. Nvidia is not allowed to sell anything in China anymore,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;They can&#8217;t compete anyway, they&#8217;re not allowed.&#8221;
Rasgon was referring to the White House&#8217;s imposition of an indefinite export ban on Nvidia's H20 chips to China, prompting the company to warn in a filing last week that it could take a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44828742/nvidia-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">potential $5.5 billion hit</a> to its quarterly revenue.

&#8220;We&#8217;ve basically just handed the China AI market to Huawei anyway, so like I&#8217;m not surprised by any of this at all,&#8221; the analyst said.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Huawei's decision to mass ship its advanced 910C AI chip to local customers next month was reported by Reuters on Monday.
The 910C chip from Huawei, designed to be more competitive with Nvidia's offerings, combines two previous Huawei chips into a single package, effectively doubling its performance.
This move positions Huawei to take advantage of Nvidia's absence in China's AI chip market, a situation exacerbated by the latest U.S. regulations requiring licenses for Nvidia's lower-tier chips as well.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang also undertook a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44890578/nvidias-jensen-huang-meets-shanghai-mayor-amid-fresh-us-chip-curbs">high-level tour of China</a> last week.

Nvidia Stock Fell Nearly 5% On Monday After Huawei Mass Shipping AI Chips In China Report Surfaced, But Bernstein Analyst Says It Doesn't Matter: 'They Can't Compete Anyway'

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent&#8216;s recent assurances to Wall Street executives about imminent trade agreements with key U.S. allies have yet to materialize, sending markets into a tailspin as investors grow increasingly concerned about the administration&#8217;s tariff policies.
What Happened: About 10 days ago, Bessent reportedly told financial executives he was making &#8220;significant progress&#8221; on trade deals with India, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. These agreements would have potentially allowed President Donald Trump to focus on trade issues with China while avoiding broader economic disruption.
&#8220;In the end, it doesn&#8217;t matter what Bessent thinks or does because he works for Trump,&#8221; one banker <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/21/business/trump-team-needs-a-trade-deal-to-stop-investor-panic/">told</a> FOX Business Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino, according to a New York Post column on Monday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 971.82 to close at 38,170 on Monday, while the S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), fell 2.36% to close at 5,158. Instead of turning to more conventional safe havens like Treasury bonds, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">investors flocked to alternative assets</a> like gold and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).

Why It Matters: &#8220;The White House needs trade deals done quick with a negotiation path established with China, otherwise the markets, 10-year yield, USD, Gold, and the economy will head down their own divergent paths,&#8221; warned Dan Ives, tech analyst at Wedbush Securities.
The situation was further complicated when Trump called Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell a &#8220;major loser,&#8221; suggesting he might attempt to remove Powell for his reluctance to cut interest rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">amid inflation concerns from tariffs</a>.
Japan was reportedly close to finalizing a deal, but sources indicate the White House continues to adjust terms. The negotiating team presents its own challenges, with the trade-centrist Bessent seemingly leading efforts while working alongside hawkish figures like Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and trade adviser Peter Navarro.

Dow Plunges Nearly 1,000 Points As Markets Lose Confidence In US Trade Direction Following Bessent's Unfulfilled Promises: Report

The U.S. Education Department said it will restart collections on May&nbsp;5, reviving tactics like intercepting tax refunds and Social Security checks to recover past‑due federal loans.
What Happened: According to an official press release, roughly 5&nbsp;million people are at least 270&nbsp;days behind, and the department will again tap the Treasury Offset Program to claw back debts. Wage garnishment, which lets the government order employers to skim paychecks, could kick in by summer.
"American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student‑loan policies," Education Secretary Linda McMahon said, blasting the Biden‑era payment pause. "The executive branch does not have the constitutional authority to wipe debt away."
Monday's notice urges defaulters to call the Default Resolution Group and either make a small payment, enroll in an income‑driven plan, or begin loan rehabilitation. But those lifelines are scarce: in February, a federal court killed the Biden administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40611128/us-supreme-court-declines-to-revive-biden-administrations-student-debt-relief-plan">SAVE plan</a>, and the department has since pulled all income‑driven repayment (IDR) applications from its website.

Advocates say borrowers are being cornered. "Trump and McMahon have blocked these borrowers' path out of default and are now feeding them into the maw of the government debt‑collection machine," said Mike Pierce, the Executive Director of Student Borrower Protection Center, a non-profit organization.
Why It Matters: The restart lands as President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44408839/trump-will-sign-an-order-to-dismantle-the-department-of-education-on-thursday-report">moves to dismantle</a> the Education Department entirely.

Officials promise a revamped "enhanced" IDR system next week that will eliminate annual income paperwork, but details remain thin, and the countdown to May 5 is short.

Linda McMahon Says American Taxpayers No Longer 'Collateral' As Student Debt Collection Restarts May 5

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman Michael Saylor cautioned companies against leveraging Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), stating that it might lead to a &#8220;catastrophe.&#8221;
What Happened:&nbsp;In an interview with TheBlock that aired Saturday, Saylor likened Bitcoin to steel while comparing Ethereum and Solana to&nbsp;balsa wood and clay bricks. He warned that leveraging these tokens could lead to them buckling under pressure. 
The Bitcoin maximalist said that Ethereum and Solana were not commodities but rather tokens. &#8220;And so I would caution anybody listening here against leveraging up on a token or a proprietary asset,&#8221; he added.

&#8220;The reason it works is&nbsp;because I&#8217;m&nbsp;putting leverage on steel (Bitcoin). I&#8217;m&nbsp;doing it with the right&nbsp;material. I&#8217;m&nbsp;actually using a product which&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;deflect. Bitcoin is a&nbsp;crypto asset which does not&nbsp;deflect,&#8221; Saylor said.
To the contrary, doing the same thing with FTX Token (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ftt/usd">FTT</a>) or Terra Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">LUNC</a>) or picking one&#8217;s favorite token could lead to &#8220;catastrophe,&#8221; he argued, citing the two implosions that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/11/29691585/why-ftxs-collapse-is-the-crypto-equivalent-of-the-2008-lehman-brothers-crisis">rocked </a>the cryptocurrency market in 2022.

Why It Matters:&nbsp; Saylor&#8217;s cautionary advice comes at a time when companies are increasingly exploring cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin as investment tools. 
Upexi Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPXI#NASDAQ">UPXI</a>) announced raising approximately $100 million through securities purchase agreements Monday<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44902345/upexi-raises-100-million-to-expand-crypto-ventures-stock-soars"> to expand its cryptocurrency ventures</a>, including building a Solana treasury.

Bitcoin Is Steel, Ethereum And Solana Are Balsa Wood And Clay, Warns Michael Saylor—Strategy Chair Says Leveraging ETH, SOL Could Lead To 'Catastrophe'

On Monday, Gary Black, managing partner at The Future Fund LLC, said that he believes Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock price after its first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44896337/teslas-q1-test-drive-will-earnings-steer-tesla-stock-out-of-the-ditch">earnings report on Tuesday</a> will hinge more on the company's outlook and key management comments.
What Happened: Black took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, &#8220;Tesla&#8217;s stock price after tomorrow's earnings depends far more on what management says about the more affordable vehicle, the timing of the Austin unsupervised autonomous test market, Elon's future involvement with DOGE, and guidance on FY'25 delivery growth, than actual results,&#8221; Black said.
He also provided his predictions for Tesla's first-quarter and full-year 2025, and compared them to what Wall Street is expecting:

He points out that the Wall Street consensus may be outdated because analysts usually don't update their models after a quarter ends until the actual results come in. That makes those numbers possibly too optimistic.
Instead, he says the Tesla Investor Relations (IR) survey of analysts is more realistic.

Why It's Important: Last week, it was reported that Tesla has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44888254/elon-musks-tesla-delays-launch-of-affordable-model-y-by-several-months-report">delayed the U.S. launch</a> of a more affordable variant of its Model Y SUV. Internally codenamed &#8220;E41,&#8221; the vehicle was originally scheduled to debut in the first half of the year.
Musk&#8217;s EV giant has also been hinting at the launch of its Cybercab autonomous ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas — but the plan has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44444272/there-are-many-ways-to-fake-a-robotaxi-service-former-waymo-ceo-casts-doubt-on-teslas-upcoming-robotaxi-launch">drawn skepticism from</a> industry experts.
Moreover, Musk is facing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44346423/teslas-biggest-bull-frustrated-with-elon-musks-focus-on-doge-over-company-patience-wearing-thin">mounting criticism from investors</a> over concerns that he's losing focus on the company, as his attention appears increasingly directed toward his role in President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Since assuming the position following Trump's inauguration, Musk's political involvement has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/interview/25/03/44539183/exclusive-tesla-protest-organizer-says-elon-musk-seems-to-have-purchased-the-american-government">sparked nationwide protests</a> at Tesla showrooms and facilities, ranging from peaceful demonstrations to acts of vandalism.
His controversial remarks on foreign affairs have also drawn backlash in Europe, where attacks on Tesla properties and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44232237/whats-going-on-with-tesla-shares-monday-2">slumping sales have been reported</a>.
Price Action: Tesla's stock dropped 5.96% on Monday, continuing a broader decline that has seen shares fall by 40.04% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
29 analysts tracked by Benzinga have set a consensus price target for Tesla at $298.14. The three latest ratings from Piper Sandler, UBS, and Mizuho suggest a higher average price target of $321.67, indicating a potential upside of 41.17% based on these updated evaluations.

Gary Black Says Wall Street Consensus Outdated On Tesla Q1: Stock Price Will Depend On Affordable Car Commentary, Elon Musk's DOGE Moves

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) rebounded Monday overnight following Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fresh move past $88,000.
What happened: The largest meme coin by market capitalization crossed $0.16, erasing losses after slipping below the level earlier this afternoon.&nbsp;
DOGE traded in a narrow range of $0.1629 to $0.1561 during the day, representing a marginal 0.20% rise in the last 24 hours. The coin's trading volume was up 23% over the previous day.
The late evening spike likely followed Bitcoin's move past $88,000, following a pullback to $86,000 in the early trading hours.

U.S. stock markets experienced a downturn today, with the Nasdaq Composite dropping over 400 points to end the day at 15,870.90. The S&amp;P 500 also saw a decline, falling by 2.36% to 5,158.20, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by 2.48% to 38,170.41.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day:
Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)
Tesla&#8217;s shares fell by 5.96%, closing at $227.42. The stock reached an intraday high of $232.21 and a low of $222.79, with a 52-week range between $488.54 and $138.80. Investors are keenly awaiting Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44896337/teslas-q1-test-drive-will-earnings-steer-tesla-stock-out-of-the-ditch">first-quarter earnings report</a>, expected to be released after market hours on Tuesday.

The market is closely watching CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s ability to shift the narrative around the company&#8217;s declining stock.
Amazon.com, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)

This adjustment reflects growing concerns over tariffs and their impact on Amazon&#8217;s operations.
Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)
Meta Platforms saw a 3.35% decrease, closing at $484.66. The stock&#8217;s intraday high was $493.50, and the low was $479.80, with a 52-week range from $740.89 to $414.5.

The Federal Trade Commission is pushing for Meta to divest Instagram and WhatsApp, adding to the pressure from tariff and inflation concerns.

What Happened: The apex cryptocurrency touched an intraday high of $88,821.47 after crossing $87,000 the day before, as investors cheered the breakout following weeks of sideways price action.&nbsp;
The excitement was reflected through a 98% jump in trading volumes to $38.64 billion.
The uptick, however, failed to lift Ethereum out of the doldrums, as the second-largest cryptocurrency fell below $1,600.
Bitcoin's dominance reached 63.7%, signaling continued rotation of capital from altcoins to the leading digital asset.
The sentiment may have been bolstered overnight by news of Atkins&#8217; swearing-in as the 34th SEC Chair. Atkins had previously stated that building a regulatory framework for digital assets <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44531654/trumps-sec-pick-paul-atkins-says-his-top-priority-will-be-rational-crypto-regulations-marking-shift-from-gary-genslers-approach">would be his top priority</a>.
Total liquidations reached $270 million in the last 24 hours, with nearly equal number of bullish and bearish bets erased.
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest rose 3.06% in the last 24 hours, representing an increase of $3.52 billion. That said, nearly 59% of Binance traders with an open BTC position were positioned short.
The market sentiment improved from &#8220;Fear&#8221; to "Neutral," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.74 trillion, following an increase of 0.76% in the last 24 hours.
Major stock averages ended the session in the red.&nbsp; The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 971.82 points, or 2.48%, to end at 38,170.41. The S&amp;P 500 lost 2.36% to close at 5,158.20, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite finished 2.55% lower at 15,870.90.
The sell-offs came after President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44909343/speculators-ramp-up-bets-on-who-will-succeed-fed-chair-powell-as-trumps-pressure-campaign-intensifies">intensified his attack</a> on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of prior political favoritism and calling for &#8220;preemptive&#8221; interest rate cuts.

Analyst Notes: CryptoQuant&#8217;s Head of Research, Julio Moreno, identified $91,000-$92,000 as a potential Bitcoin resistance level, which corresponded to the Trader&#8217;s On-chain Realized Price.
"The trader&#8217;s realized price acts as support when market conditions are bullish (green area, bull score &gt;= 60), and as resistance when market conditions are bearish (red area, bull score &lt;= 40)," Moreno explained.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Rise, Ethereum Falls As Pro-Crypto Paul Atkins Sworn In As SEC Chair: Top Analyst Declares Multi-Month BTC Downtrend Over

Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) engages in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas in the U.S. and internationally.
It will report its Q1 2025 earnings on May 2. Wall Street analysts expect the company to post EPS of $1.70, down from $2.06 in the prior-year period. According to data from Benzinga Pro, quarterly revenue is expected to be $86.09 billion, up from $83.08 billion a year earlier.

The 52-week range of Exxon Mobil stock price was $97.80 to $126.34.
Exxon Mobil's dividend yield is 3.80%. It paid $3.96 per share in dividends during the last 12 months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Exxon Mobil</h2>
On Jan. 31, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting total revenues and other income of $83.4 billion, missing the consensus of $86.6 billion, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43389620/exxon-mobil-q4-earnings-mixed-results-but-ceo-promises-profitable-growth-well-into-the-future">Benzinga</a>.
Net production in the fourth quarter was 4.6 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, an increase of 20,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day from the prior quarter.
"Financially, we delivered some of our highest earnings and operating cash flow in a decade. We earned returns higher than our peers and well above our cost of capital, and we distributed more cash to shareholders than all but five companies in the entire S&amp;P 500," CEO Darren Woods said.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As An Exxon Mobil Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Exxon Mobil dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $31,579, which is around 303 shares at $104.19 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (3.80% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.038 = $31,579 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Exxon Mobil stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 303 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Exxon Mobil has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 42 years.&nbsp;

Here's How You Can Earn $100 In Passive Income By Investing In Exxon Mobil Stock

U.S. stock futures rose Monday night even as Wall Street had a rough start to the week, amid growing concerns regarding the Federal Reserve&#8217;s independence, and President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44902537/selling-on-threat-to-powell-dollar-stocks-and-bonds-fall-gold-and-yen-rise">repeated attacks</a> on Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates.
The S&amp;P 500 futures are up 0.47%, at 5,209, followed by Nasdaq futures at 18,010, up 0.51%, and the Dow Jones futures at 38,500, an increase of 0.45%. This comes despite the sharp selloff during the regular session on Monday morning.

It&#8217;s another volatile start for Japan&#8217;s benchmark Nikkei 225. After opening down by 0.50%, the index mounted a recovery, before slipping back into the red, trading down by 109 points, or 0.32%, at the time of writing. 
This is attributed to the strengthening Yen, which reached a 7-month high against the U.S. Dollar on Monday, weighing on Japan&#8217;s export-reliant industries, according <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/stock-market">to</a> TradingEconomics data.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) hit a fresh three-year low of 97.923 on Monday, a level it last saw in 2022. It, however, recovered in the latter half of the day and is now back above the 98 level. It currently trades at 98.47, up 0.16%.

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has paused some of its data center leasing talks, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44733013/microsoft-shelves-1-billion-ohio-data-center-plans-amid-global-project-withdrawals-we-are-slowing-or-pausing-some-early-stage-projects">following a similar move</a> by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
What Happened: Amazon has temporarily halted certain data center lease negotiations for its cloud division, especially in international markets, said Wells Fargo analysts on Monday.
&#8220;This is routine capacity management, and there haven&#8217;t been any recent fundamental changes in our expansion plans,&#8221; said Kevin Miller, vice president of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Global Data Centers, in a LinkedIn post, first noted on Reuters.

This development signals that growing economic uncertainty may be prompting firms to reassess their multi-billion-dollar investments in AI infrastructure, including costly Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips, noted Reuters.

Why It&#8217;s Important: The decision mirrors actions taken by Microsoft, which abandoned data center projects in the U.S. and Europe due to an oversupply of electricity relative to current demand forecasts.
Hyperscalers are becoming more cautious and selective in their data center leasing for capacity scheduled to come online before the end of 2026, the Wells Fargo analysts noted, according to Reuters.
