Why It Matters: Last month, it was reported that CEO Tim Cook had reshuffled the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44429160/apple-stock-down-over-12-this-year-now-tim-cook-is-reportedly-betting-on-vision-pros-mike-rockwell-to-fix-siri-after-losing-confidence-in-ai-boss-john-giannandrea">company&#8217;s AI leadership</a>, moving Mike Rockwell to oversee Siri, following dissatisfaction with the performance of AI chief John Giannandrea.
The tech giant's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44345486/apple-scrambles-to-fix-siris-ugly-and-embarrassing-ai-failures-after-public-missteptop-executive-admits-marketing-it-too-soon-made-things-worse">internal challenges</a> have reportedly been acknowledged by senior director Robby Walker, who admitted to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44429160/apple-stock-down-over-12-this-year-now-tim-cook-is-reportedly-betting-on-vision-pros-mike-rockwell-to-fix-siri-after-losing-confidence-in-ai-boss-john-giannandrea">frustration over delays in Siri&#8217;s AI</a> enhancements.
Looking ahead, Apple is preparing for a significant software overhaul with iOS 19, expected to bring <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44240980/iphones-after-ios-19-will-feature-a-very-different-look-heres-whats-apple-might-change">dramatic changes to the iPhone&#8217;s interface</a>. This upcoming update is anticipated to align more closely with the Vision Pro&#8217;s visionOS, aiming for a cohesive user experience across Apple&#8217;s ecosystem.
Price Action: Apple shares ended Monday at $222.13, rising 1.94% during the regular session. However, in after-hours trading, they dipped 0.47%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

iOS 18.4 Is Now Live With New Emojis, Apple News+ Food, And Priority AI Notifications Alongside Vision Pro Updates: What You Need To Know

Gold prices have surged nearly 58% after the late veteran investor and stock picker Charlie Munger&#8216;s top pick, Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>), started selling gold bars in June 2023.
What Happened: Gold prices have been hitting fresh record highs after surpassing the $3,000 mark. The latest record level notched by the Gold Spot U.S. Dollar was $3,149.03 per ounce.
Interestingly, Costco began selling gold bars in June 2023 in the U.S., and it quickly became a popular item. Since then, gold prices have rallied by 57.78% as of March 31, 2025, outpacing the gains in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index. SPY rose by 32.61% in the same period.
Costco, on the other hand, gained as much as 84.51% since June 2023.

Why It Matters: Munger, a prominent investor and long-time board member of Costco, was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495307/charlie-munger-identified-this-stock-30-years-ago-after-warren-buffett-passed-on-it-heres-how-it-is-doing-as-it-accomplishes-four-milestones-in-its-current-quarter">vocal admirer of the company&#8217;s business model</a>, owning a significant stake in Costco that he vowed never to sell.
"I love everything about Costco," he said during the Daily Journal's annual shareholder meeting back in February 2023. He admired Costco's business model and recognized its unique approach to retailing, including its efficient operations, low prices, and membership model.
"I'm a total addict, and I'm never going to sell a share," said Munger during the aforementioned shareholder meeting.
"I wish everything else in America was working as well as Costco does," he said in early 2022. "Think what a blessing that would be for us all."
Price Action: Gold prices have rallied 18.93% on a year-to-date basis, whereas SPY has declined 4.32% in the same period. Costco, on the other hand, was up 3.95% in 2025.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that COST&#8217;s price trend is weak over the medium and the short term, whereas the long-term trend is strong. It has a momentum ranking at the 85.24th percentile, but its value ranking was weaker.

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Sportsman's Warehouse Price Expectations Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

Michael Kratsios, a former deputy to venture capitalist Peter Thiel and one of Silicon Valley's most influential tech policy figures, has taken charge of the U.S. government's AI strategy amid escalating competition with China's tech giants.
What Happened: Kratsios was confirmed by the Senate to lead the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) last week.
His appointment comes as the Donald Trump administration intensifies its scrutiny of China's growing AI capabilities, especially following the emergence of DeepSeek—a Chinese AI startup that developed a powerful model at <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44392370/nvidia-destroys-420-billion-of-investor-wealth-since-deepseek-launch-valuation-hits-a-29-month-low-as-gtc-fails-to-ignite-stock">significantly lower costs</a> than its U.S. counterparts.
Having served in the first Trump administration and later overseeing research initiatives at the Department of Defense, Kratsios is no stranger to navigating the intersection of national security and technological innovation, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-ai-michael-kratsios-peter-thiel-protege-1457e276?mod=hp_listb_pos3">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44577187/sam-altman-led-openai-releases-open-weight-ai-model-with-reasoning-capabilities-as-deepseek-and-meta-taste-success">Sam Altman-Led OpenAI Releases Open-Weight AI Model With Reasoning Capabilities As DeepSeek And Meta Taste Success</a>
Before returning to government, Kratsios worked at Scale AI, a startup specializing in AI training data.
Now, one of Kratsios's immediate tasks is reviewing thousands of industry submissions for the administration's AI policy framework, the report noted.
He also brings a global perspective to the role, having previously advised U.S. allies against adopting Chinese telecom infrastructure, particularly Huawei Technologies's 5G equipment.
Kratsios will be working alongside other high-profile figures in the administration, including David Sacks, Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42356067/venture-capitalist-david-sacks-appointed-as-white-house-ai-crypto-czar-by-trump">AI and crypto policy leader</a>, and Sriram Krishnan, a senior AI advisor.
Why It's Important: Previously, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed concerns that the tensions with the U.S. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44161587/is-china-apprehensive-of-losing-the-trade-war-to-the-us-china-could-get-isolated-like-moscow-fears-xi-jinping">could lead to China&#8217;s isolation</a>, similar to the Soviet Union&#8217;s during the Cold War.
Moreover, in response to the U.S. economic offensive, China has reportedly been considering <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44448798/china-ponders-export-limitations-to-quell-trumps-trade-onslaught">restricting certain exports</a> to the U.S.
In March 2025, the U.S. added over <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44494896/us-adds-50-chinese-entities-to-export-restriction-list-curtailing-access-to-nvidia-amd-chips">50 Chinese entities to an export restriction</a> list, limiting their access to advanced technologies like those from Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
Meanwhile, China is <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44451449/china-courts-apple-pfizer-eli-lilly-amid-us-pressure-vice-premier-says-beijing-will-continue-to-improve-the-business-environment">actively courting multinational companies</a>, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), to improve its business environment and attract foreign investment.

The Trump administration is reportedly contemplating a tax increase for the wealthiest Americans. The move is seen as a strategic approach to fund other policy priorities.
What Happened: White House officials are in talks about the potential of raising the income tax rate for the highest earners, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/03/28/trump-taxes-wealthy">Axios</a>. This could be a trade-off for tax cuts on tips, creating room for other priorities and countering criticisms from Democrats who are looking to extend President Donald Trump&#8216;s 2017 tax cuts.
&#8220;If we renew tax cuts for the rich paid for by throwing people off Medicaid, we&#8217;re gonna get f&#8211;king slaughtered,&#8221; the White House official told Axios. 
Currently, the top income tax rate is 37%, applying to income over $609,351 for individuals and $731,201 for married couples. If the 2017 tax law expires, the rate will increase to 39.6%, with a lower income threshold for the top bracket.

While only about 1% of taxpayers fall into the top bracket, they contribute a significant portion of income taxes. The proposed changes could lead to increased revenue, potentially helping to deliver some of Trump&#8217;s populist promises, such as removing taxes on tips.
Why It Matters: These discussions are preliminary and no decisions have been made. Despite potential opposition from Republicans who argue that low taxes stimulate economic growth, polls indicate that most Americans, including a significant number of Republicans, are in favor of increasing taxes on wealthier individuals.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36707113/billionaires-rally-behind-bill-gates-call-for-wealth-tax-in-unprecedented-show-of-unity-we-ask-you-t">been a vocal advocate</a> for increased taxation of the super-wealthy, arguing that it&#8217;s a moral duty for individuals, nations, and corporations with substantial resources to contribute more. Abigail Disney, a descendant of the Disney family dynasty; acclaimed actor Brian Cox; Rockefeller family&#8217;s Valerie Rockefeller, as well as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42494409/bernie-sanders-proposes-taxing-income-over-1-billion-at-100-and-urges-its-time-to-make-greedy-billionaires-pay-their-fair-share">all share the same views as Gates</a>.
Should the Trump administration&#8217;s tax hike for the wealthy come into effect, it could mark a significant shift in U.S. tax policy, potentially fulfilling some of Trump&#8217;s populist promises and addressing growing concerns about income inequality.
