Insights From Analysts:
Acknowledging the swift and often daily shifts in tariff and geopolitical landscapes, Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo, noted, "With the pace of change on the tariff and geopolitical fronts moving fast and sometimes adjusting on a day-to-day basis, investors are wondering what they might do to help navigate the uncertainties."
To navigate these uncertainties, Wren has advised investors to maintain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44973246/market-dip-attractive-entry-point-says-wells-fargo-energy-large-and-mid-cap-stock-favored">exposure in higher-quality equities</a> and fixed income, emphasizing the need for a plan to withstand market volatility while pursuing growth.
Wren stated, "The first rule of thumb for our plan is to focus on quality in a diversified manner."
Pointing to the stronger balance sheets, dependable cash flows, easy credit access, and share buyback capabilities of larger companies, Wren said, "We continue to favor large- and mid-capitalization equities over small-cap."
Additionally, Wells Fargo favors the energy sector and holds favorable ratings on Information Technology, Financials, and Communication Services, according to Wren, who explained, "We believe these sectors feature long-term growth drivers and robust balance sheets. We suggest investors put funds to work in these sectors at current market levels. In our view, the pullback in stocks offers long-term investors an attractive entry point."
After Trump blasted Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in a Truth Social post on Monday and said that "Powell's termination can't come quickly enough,&#8221; during a Tuesday press conference, he changed his tone, saying, "I have no intention of firing him".
&#8220;Essentially, if there is a recession, President Trump will likely blame Fed Chairman Powell for failing to cut key interest rates fast enough,&#8221; said Louis Navellier of Navellier and Associates.
Talking about the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump&#8217;s policies, Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said, &#8220;Trump's Tariff Turmoil has put the world on edge. A new world order may be the ultimate result, but for now we've got the New World Disorder, leaving everyone scrambling to adjust to Trump's unpredictable policy pivots. The economic fallout is uncertain. The uncertainty is keeping Wall Street on edge.&#8221;

On Wednesday, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) introduced a newly redesigned version of its Microsoft 365 Copilot app.
What Happened: The development was shared by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took to X, formerly Twitter.
The artificial intelligence-powered assistant, embedded within Microsoft's suite of productivity tools, is getting a host of new features aimed at streamlining workflows and enhancing creativity.
"Copilot has truly become the UI [User Interface] for AI – and for me, it's the scaffolding for my workday," Nadella wrote.
Among the most significant upgrades are new AI agents dubbed &#8220;Researcher&#8221; and &#8220;Analyst,&#8221; which Nadella described as his &#8220;go-to 24/7 experts.&#8221;
Researcher aggregates and synthesizes information from the web and enterprise data to generate insightful reports, while Analyst turns raw data into visualizations and forecasts.

Copilot now also includes a Notebooks feature, allowing users to collect all project-related content—documents, meetings, webpages—into a single AI-grounded workspace.&nbsp;
"It has entirely changed my workflow," Nadella said, adding that users can even generate audio overviews of their content.
Microsoft has also added an enhanced search tool that integrates data from third-party platforms like Google Drive, Slack, and Jira, delivering not only AI-synthesized answers but also source materials for context.
Another standout addition is the new Create feature, which can generate visuals from prompts and even convert PowerPoint slides into explainer videos using OpenAI's GPT-4o model.

Why It's Important: Earlier this month, Microsoft <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831264/microsoft-debuts-computer-use-tool-for-copilot-studio-ceo-satya-nadella-says-anyone-can-build-agents-that-take-action-on-the-ui-across-desktop-and-web-apps">introduced a research preview</a> of "Computer Use," a new feature within Copilot Studio that allows AI agents to directly interact with desktop and web applications to complete tasks.
This follows the company's launch of Dragon Copilot last month—an AI-powered assistant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44087329/microsoft-unveils-ai-powered-dragon-copilot-to-ease-clinician-workloads">designed to streamline clinical workflows</a> by combining voice dictation, ambient listening, and generative AI.
Back in January, Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) co-founder and CEO Marc Benioff criticized Microsoft's Copilot, saying it had "already flopped."
He argued that the tool lacked user adoption and was essentially just a rebranded version of OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Since 2019, Microsoft has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42664762/after-investing-nearly-14-billion-in-openai-microsoft-reportedly-moves-to-reduce-its-dependence-on-chatgpt-parent">invested more than $14 billion in OpenAI</a>. However, the alliance hasn't been without its challenges.
Previously, Former CEO Steve Ballmer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44790055/satya-nadella-says-ai-needs-a-new-type-of-inbox-and-believes-microsofts-copilot-will-be-as-big-as-excel-and-powerpoint">told GeekWire</a>, &#8220;What Satya did with OpenAI, I think was brilliant — and I think it&#8217;s fraught with peril, but I know they know that. It&#8217;s sort of a juggling act.&#8221;
Price Action: Microsoft shares rose 2.06% on Wednesday, closing at $374.39. Despite the gain, the stock remains down 10.56% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Per Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Microsoft has a growth score of 64.65%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> other companies in the sector.

The ministry stressed that any claims of progress in such talks have "no factual basis." <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3307745/china-denies-rumours-us-trade-talks-says-claims-have-no-factual-basis?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
"At present there are absolutely no negotiations on the economy and trade between China and the U.S.," confirmed He, as cited by CNBC. 
Ministry Spokesman He Yadong, during a press conference, called on the U.S. to listen to international and domestic calls for reason. &#8220;If&nbsp;the U.S. truly wants to&nbsp;resolve the issue, it should&nbsp;heed rational voices from the&nbsp;international community and domestic stakeholders,&nbsp;completely abolish all unilateral tariffs&nbsp;on China, and find a&nbsp;solution through equal dialogue,&#8221; Yadong stated.
The commerce ministry's comments echoed those of Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun, who said on Wednesday that there were no ongoing talks, according to state media.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s response comes in the wake of recent remarks made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at a closed-door investor summit hosted by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. Bessent&#8217;s comments on tariffs and the ongoing trade tensions with China. The Treasury Secretary had reportedly characterized the high tariffs as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal">unsustainable</a>" and stated that he expects ‘de-escalation' in U.S.-China tariffs. 
Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at a potential review of the &#8220;high tariffs&#8221; placed on Chinese goods since the start of his second term. He also noted that senior officials from Beijing had reached out to Washington to lay the groundwork for possible talks.
Furthermore, President Trump recently pledged a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal"> significant reduction</a> in the high tariffs placed on Chinese goods, although they will not be completely abolished.
