Shell PLC&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) Shell Nigeria Exploration inked a deal with TotalEnergies SE&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited involving SNEPCo acquiring TotalEnergies&#8217; 12.5% interest in the OML 118 Production Sharing Contract <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/equities" rel="noreferrer noopener">(OML 118 PSC) for</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/equities" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/equities" rel="noreferrer noopener">$510 million</a>.
Once completed, this transaction will increase Shell&#8217;s ownership in the OML 118 PSC from 55% <a target="_blank" href="https://totalenergies.com/news/press-releases/nigeria-totalenergies-divests-its-non-operated-interest-bonga-field" rel="noreferrer noopener">to</a> 67.5%.
This targeted investment aligns with Shell&#8217;s goal of growing its combined Integrated Gas and Upstream total production by 1% per year to 2030 and sustaining its 1.4 million barrels per day of liquids production, the company said.

The Bonga field itself is a deep-water development situated in OML 118, with water depths exceeding 1,000 meters.
Bonga North is estimated to hold over 300 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources and is projected to reach a peak production of 110,000 barrels of oil per day, with initial oil expected by the end of the current decade.
Production at Bonga began in 2005, initially capable of producing 225,000 barrels of oil per day. Notably, the Bonga field produced its one-billionth barrel of crude oil in 2023.
This acquisition represents a significant investment in Nigeria&#8217;s deep-water sector, contributing to sustained liquids production and growth in Shell&#8217;s Upstream portfolio. Peter Costello, Shell's President, Upstream, stated that the acquisition &#8220;brings another significant investment in Nigeria deep-water that contributes to sustained liquids production and growth in our Upstream portfolio."
For TotalEnergies, the sale is part of the company&#8217;s strategy to high-grade its Upstream portfolio, focusing on assets with low technical costs and low emissions, and aiming to lower its cash breakeven. Nicolas Terraz, President Exploration &amp; Production at TotalEnergies, noted that in Nigeria, the company is shifting its focus to its operated gas and offshore oil assets, including the progression of the Ubeta project to sustain gas supply to Nigeria LNG.
The deal is pending regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, with completion anticipated by the end of this year.

U.S. stock futures jumped on Thursday after ending lower on Wednesday. Futures of major benchmark indices rose over 1% in premarket.
A federal court has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report"> invalidated global tariffs</a> enacted by President Donald Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a move that could reshape future U.S. trade policy. 
The U.S. Court of International Trade&#8217;s decision challenged the extensive tariff authority previously wielded by the Trump administration and may impact ongoing trade strategies.
A three-judge panel, with appointees from the Reagan, Obama, and Trump eras, ruled that the IEEPA doesn&#8217;t give the president unlimited power to impose tariffs.
The Trump administration filed an appeal against the ruling in minutes, according to a Reuters report.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.52% and the two-year bond was at 4.03%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After the Federal Court struck down Trump&#8217;s tariffs, Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, said that &#8220;Without tariff revenues, there is a big beautiful hole in the big beautiful budget bill.&#8221;
This implied the administration&#8217;s promise to fund the deficit created by the tax bill through tariff revenue and the Department of Government Efficiency savings.
Shapiro&#8217;s post highlights a budget crisis that could be triggered by the removal of tariff revenue.

According to him, despite the seemingly extreme market optimism, the perspective from professionals analyzing data from the ground up painted a far more subdued picture.
He explained that aggressive market pricing stands in stark contrast to the pessimistic views held by bottom-up analysts, companies, and economists.
Elliott highlighted in an X thread that corporate earnings revisions for U.S. large-cap companies have notably collapsed, reaching their weakest point since the COVID-19 pandemic. Global earnings revisions also remain quite subdued, despite a marginal recent uptick in negativity.
Projections for 2025 earnings growth, which are typically skewed positively until just before the period, are currently penciled in at a mere 7%.

The digital asset landscape is experiencing a significant surge, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) exchange-traded funds emerging as a pivotal force driving institutional adoption.
What Happened: David LaVall, the global head of ETFs at Grayscale Investments, told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga </a>that the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs at the beginning of 2024 marked an &#8220;incredible&#8221; inflection point, drawing in a substantial number of institutional players.
&#8220;As we&#8217;re a little bit over a year, what we are looking at is some of the largest institutions in the form of wealth managers, firehouse platforms looking to figure out how they exactly incorporate digital assets into their franchises,&#8221; LaVall stated.
He emphasized that the demand is coming directly from investors, &#8220;Investors are asking for it, this is a unique opportunity where the democratization of an asset class, which is what ETFs have done historically, is happening for digital assets.&#8221;
LaVall highlighted the strong appeal of the robust, institutional-grade infrastructure now available for digital asset investments. &#8220;When they come and they talk to us they&#8217;re very pleased to see the infrastructure that is institutional grade,&#8221; he added.
However, he also highlighted that Bitcoin may not belong in every portfolio.
&#8220;We are not here to say that Bitcoin belongs in every single client&#8217;s portfolio, but we mean to say that you need to educate yourself, you need to partner with a crypto expert,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: The rise of Bitcoin ETFs has provided traditional investors with a regulated and accessible pathway into the cryptocurrency market.
Grayscale&#8217;s offerings, such as the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTC#NYSE">BTC</a>), have been key players in this institutional shift.
GBTC, which converted to a spot Bitcoin ETF in January 2024, has seen significant activity, reflecting both the enthusiasm and some initial profit-taking from long-term holders.
It was up 12.25% on a year-to-date basis and 42.60% over the last year.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF, launched more recently, was up 12.91% on a year-to-date basis and 68.32% since its inception in July 20204.
Price Action: As of the publication of this article, Bitcoin was 0.9% lower at 108,735 per coin.

Bitcoin ETFs Gain Momentum Amid Digital Asset Boom: 'Investors Are Asking For It' And Institutions Want To 'Incorporate Digital Assets,' Says Grayscale

China has called on the United States to entirely withdraw the unilateral tariff measures that a U.S. federal court recently blocked.
What Happened:&nbsp;The Xi Jinping-led nation has requested the United States to &#8220;fully&nbsp;cancel the wrongful unilateral tariff&nbsp;measures,&#8221; as per a report by&nbsp;<a href="https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1806769-20250529.htm?spTabChangeable=0">RTHK</a>&nbsp;on Thursday. This plea follows a U.S. federal court&#8217;s obstruction of most of President Donald Trump&#8216;s extensive tariffs. 
He Yongqian, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce, urged the United States to heed the &#8220;rational voices from the international community and domestic stakeholders.&#8221; She stressed the need for the United States to withdraw the unilateral tariff measures, which she termed &#8216;wrongful&#8217;.
The Trump administration has filed an appeal against the ruling of the Court of International Trade.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s appeal comes in the wake of a significant ruling by a U.S. federal court that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report">nullified </a>global tariffs imposed by President Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. 
The court&#8217;s decision, which emerged from two separate cases, could potentially halt the administration's trade war efforts. The tariffs were challenged by businesses and states, arguing they violated the Constitution's allocation of import duty authority to Congress.
Earlier this month, the U.S. and China agreed to reduce tariffs by 115 percentage points, lowering U.S. duties on Chinese goods to 30%. The move triggered a broad stock market rally, with the S&amp;P 500 recovering to early March 2025 levels and reversing losses from Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement.
Further, economists and legal experts at The Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank, have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45663058/trump-wrong-to-claim-unlimited-power-to-impose-tariffs-says-legal-scholar-economists-also-breathe-sigh-of-relief-after-tariffs-blocked-by-court">expressed </a>their support for the ruling. Ilya Somin, the institute's Chair of Constitutional Studies, who was one of the co-counsels for the plaintiffs in the case, said the decision makes it clear that "the President was wrong to claim a virtually unlimited power to impose tariffs.&#8221;

China Tells US To 'Entirely' Revoke 'Wrongful Unilateral' Tariffs After Court Blocks Trump's 'Liberation Day' Levies

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang said that he believes Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Optimus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536080/elon-musk-says-teslas-optimus-can-learn-tasks-by-watching-youtube-videos-just-like-a-human">humanoid robot</a> could be the first to reach mass adoption and trigger a multi-trillion-dollar industry.
What Happened: Speaking with Bloomberg News on Wednesday, Huang was asked about Tesla's expanding relationship with Nvidia and its potential in robotics, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.
In response, Huang praised Elon Musk and called him "an extraordinary engineer."
"I love working with him," he said, adding, "We&#8217;ve built some amazing computers together. We&#8217;re going to build many more computers together."

What Musk is doing across his ventures, including Grok, his self-driving car initiatives and the Optimus robot, Huang described as world-class, revolutionary, and full of massive potential.
He then underscored Optimus, saying, "This is the first robot that really has a chance to achieve the high volume and technology scale necessary to advance technology," adding, "I think this is likely to be the next multi-trillion dollar industry."

Why It's Important: Earlier this year, Musk said Tesla plans to produce several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43325888/tesla-likely-to-sell-optimus-to-rival-companies-in-2026-price-point-of-humanoid-robot-to-be-detemined-by-demand-says-ceo-elon-musk">thousand units of its Optimus humanoid</a> robot in 2025 for using it internally. Feedback gained from these deployments will help shape the next version, expected to launch in 2026.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">Nvidia also reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $44.1 billion, marking a 69% increase year-over-year and a 12% rise from the previous quarter. The results surpassed Wall Street's consensus estimate of $43.2 billion.
Nvidia has issued guidance for second-quarter revenue at $45.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. This outlook factors in an $8.0 billion loss in H20 revenue resulting from export restrictions.

Tesla's Optimus May Be The First Humanoid Robot To Achieve High Volume And Tech Scale, Says Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: '... Likely To Be The Next Multi-Trillion Dollar Industry'

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) announced on Wednesday its acquisition of Enosemi, a move aimed at accelerating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/amd" rel="noreferrer noopener">co-packaged optics innovation for AI systems</a>.
The financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed.
Enosemi, previously an external development partner in photonics, will now join AMD to scale the development and support of photonics and co-packaged optics solutions for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amd.com/en/blogs/2025/amd-acquires-enosemi-to-accelerate-co-packaged-optics-innovation.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">next-generation AI systems</a>.

Enosemi, based in Silicon Valley, has a proven track record of building and shipping photonic integrated circuits in volume, making it an ideal fit for AMD as it pushes deeper into high-performance interconnect innovation.
AMD has been building a portfolio to address the rapidly evolving needs of AI, from foundational silicon to systems-level integration. That journey has included integrating Xilinx&#8217;s AI Engines and adaptive SoC technologies, adding advanced data movement and networking capabilities through Pensando, building a software team with the additions of Silo AI and Mipsology, and scaling complete rack-level system design with the latest acquisition of ZT Systems.
AMD held $6.06 billion in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45237261/amd-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-driven-by-expanding-data-center-ai-momentum-chipmaker-expects-strong-growth-in-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">cash and equivalents</a> as of March 29, 2025.
AMD reported first-quarter revenue of $7.44 billion, up 36%, beating&nbsp;analyst estimates of $7.13 billion. The chipmaker reported first-quarter adjusted earnings of 96 cents per share, beating analyst estimates of 94 cents per share. Gross margin came in at 54% in the quarter.&nbsp;
AMD expects second-quarter revenue of approximately $7.4 billion, plus or minus $300 million versus analyst consensus estimate of $7.24 billion. AMD anticipates a second-quarter adjusted gross margin of 43%, which includes an approximate $800 million impact in charges related to inventory due to new export controls.
Price Action: AMD stock is trading higher by 3.38% to $116.66 premarket at last check Thursday.

AMD Deepens AI Ecosystem With Enosemi Acquisition

Polymarket bettors profited handsomely after a federal court struck down President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs on Wednesday.
What happened: The betting contract <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-courts-block-trumps-tariffs-before-june?tid=1748505589796">titled</a>, "Will courts block Trump&#8217;s tariffs before June?" resolved to "Yes" on the decentralized prediction platform. The odds soared dramatically from just 4% before the announcement to 100%
As a result, traders who had purchased "Yes" shares saw their profits balloon.
A user named Eridpnc, who had purchased 3,008 "Yes" shares at an average price of $0.32, saw his position increase to $3,008, resulting in a profit of $2,046.99, or 212%.
Similarly, a person using the alias todamoon, who purchased 1,488 shares at an average price of $0.33, earned a profit of $989.58, or 198.67%.
While these players had been holding the shares for some time, a handful joined the market shortly before the announcement and made whopping gains.

The court's ruling, which emerged from two separate cases, nullifies the tariffs Trump had enforced using the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a statute never previously applied in tariff situations.

Why Nvidia Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 5%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

The President Donald Trump administration announced plans to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students studying in the United States, specifically targeting those with Chinese Communist Party connections or studying in critical fields. 
What Happened: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a Wednesday statement that the administration will &#8220;aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.&#8221; Rubio added that visa criteria will be revised to &#8220;enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People&#8217;s Republic of China and Hong Kong.&#8221;
The State Department ordered U.S. embassies worldwide to stop scheduling new student visa appointments as it prepares to expand social media vetting procedures, according to an internal <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administration-halting-student-visa-appointments-ahead-of-expanded-social-media-vetting/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">memo</a> reviewed by CBS News. 
According to U.S. State Department <a href="https://opendoorsdata.org/data/international-students/all-places-of-origin/">data</a> compiled by the Institute of International Education, approximately 280,000 Chinese students were studying in the U.S. last year, a number that has declined in recent years.
The administration has already terminated Harvard University&#8217;s ability <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45601769/trumps-tax-bill-harvards-international-student-ban-and-musks-ai-in-government-this-week-in-politics">to enroll international students,</a> with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem alleging the university fostered &#8220;violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party.&#8221; Harvard enrolled nearly 6,800 international students in 2024-2025.

Universities rely heavily on international student tuition revenue, with many institutions using these funds to subsidize domestic student costs.

Trump Administration To Revoke Visas Of Chinese Students Tied To CCP Or Critical Fields, Tightens Screening

In a recent interview,&nbsp;General Motors Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) CEO&nbsp;Mary Barra&nbsp;expressed her support for the auto tariffs imposed by President&nbsp;Donald Trump, citing the unfair competition faced by U.S. automakers in the global market.
What Happened: Barra, in an interview <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/general-motors-ceo-defends-trump-auto-tariffs-d6f15ab9?ref=biztoc.com">at</a> The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s Future of Everything event, justified Trump&#8217;s tariffs, arguing that American car manufacturers face an unfair disadvantage because of foreign government subsidies and tax policies.
&#8220;For&nbsp;decades now, it has not&nbsp;been a level playing field&nbsp;for us automakers globally, with&nbsp;either tariffs or non-tariff trade&nbsp;barriers. So I think tariffs&nbsp;is one tool that the&nbsp;administration can use to level&nbsp;the playing field,&#8221; Barra said.
She also acknowledged an improvement in her relationship with Trump during his second term—a notable change for GM, which had previously clashed with the White House over its investments in foreign factories and electric vehicles, both of which ran counter to Trump's policies.
Barra also commended the administration for permitting tariff-free imports of parts from Canada and Mexico, as outlined in the free-trade agreement signed during Trump's first term. She remarked, "They've taken the time to understand our industry."
