Why Coinbase Global Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 9%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) says that the Republican party is currently facing an internal &#8220;identity crisis,&#8221; particularly over the proposed legislation on Medicaid, as the Democratic party&#8217;s approval ratings continue to fall. 
What Happened: Hawley stated that the Republican Party is divided over its approach to representing working-class Americans. President Donald Trump has promised tax cuts for the working class and protection for social insurance programs like Medicaid. However, a faction within the party, known as the &#8220;Wall Street wing,&#8221; is advocating for a return to corporate incentives, capital preferences, and significant cuts to social insurance, stated Hawley in a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/opinion/josh-hawley-dont-cut-medicaid.html">op-ed</a>. He calls the idea of Medicaid cuts &#8220;morally wrong and politically suicidal.&#8221;
Despite recent polls indicating that 64% of Republicans view Medicaid favorably, and over half of Americans have a personal or familial connection to the program, some Republican representatives continue to push for substantial cuts to Medicaid. Hawley urges Republicans to recognize the needs and desires of their constituents, who largely depend on social insurance programs. 
Josh Hawley stated that for Republicans to become a majority and truly represent the working class, they must reject proposals to cut Medicaid and focus on fulfilling promises to American workers.

Why It Matters: This internal conflict within the Republican party comes at a time when millions of Americans stand to lose their Medicaid health insurance coverage due to proposals by Republican Congress members aimed at reducing spending to back President Trump&#8217;s tax cuts and domestic policy agenda. According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45278823/over-5-million-americans-set-to-lose-health-coverage-by-2034-amid-proposed-gop-medicaid-cuts-cbo-analysis">recent nonpartisan analysis</a>&nbsp;by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), Medicaid coverage losses could range between 2.3 million and 8.6 million people.
Furthermore, House Republicans have unveiled plans for at least $880 billion in Medicaid cuts to fund President Trump&#8217;s $4.5 trillion tax break extension, potentially causing 8.6 million Americans to lose healthcare coverage over the next decade, as per a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45344596/house-republicans-push-880-billion-medicaid-cuts-to-renew-trump-tax-breaks-democrat-warns-millions-will-lose-their-health-care">CBO preliminary analysis</a>.
Democrats, on the other hand, are urging GOP leaders to discard Medicaid cuts and instead address Medicare Advantage &#8220;upcoding&#8221; to tackle federal waste. They claim that Medicare overpaid private insurers by $50 billion in 2024 for unverified diagnoses, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45335179/democrats-urge-gop-to-target-medicare-advantage-upcoding-instead-of-medicaid-cuts-calling-budget-pla">report from The Hill</a>.

Josh Hawley Slams GOP 'Identity Crisis' Over Medicaid, Calls Proposed Cuts 'Morally Wrong And Politically Suicidal'

Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSM#NYSE">FSM</a>, TSX:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FVI#TSX">FVI</a>) ("Fortuna" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of the sale of its interest in Roxgold Sanu SA ("Roxgold Sanu"), together with the Company's three other wholly-owned Burkina Faso subsidiaries (together with Roxgold Sanu, the "Acquired Companies") to Soleil Resources International Ltd. ("SRI"), a private Mauritius company (the "Transaction"). Roxgold Sanu owns and operates the Yaramoko Mine in the Balé Province, Burkina Faso. The Transaction closed pursuant to the terms of a definitive share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement"). All references to dollar amounts in this news release are expressed in US dollars.
Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO, commented, "We're taking the opportunities a strong gold market provides to streamline our asset portfolio. The recent closings of the high-cost San Jose Mine sale in April and the Yaramoko Mine sale in May represent the divestment of two operations with limited reserve life." Mr. Ganoza continued, "In the case of Yaramoko, we received a compelling offer that provided a prudent exit from a jurisdiction where we are no longer pursuing exploration activities and where the operating and security landscape remains challenging." Mr. Ganoza concluded, "Collectively, these transactions enable us to shift our focus away from mine closures - reallocating approximately $50 million in capital and freeing up management capacity - to pursue higher-value opportunities aligned with our strategic objectives."
The proceeds from the sale increase the Company's first quarter cash and short term investments to over $380 million and liquidity to over $530 million.
Details of the Transaction
Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, SRI acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Companies held by Fortuna's subsidiaries in consideration for the payment of $70 million in cash. Prior to the closing of the Transaction, Roxgold Sanu paid to the Company a cash dividend in the amount of $53.8 million plus $3.7 million in withholding tax. The agreement also provides that the Company has the right to receive up to approximately $53 million of value added tax receivables upon the completion of certain conditions.
The Company has now ceased all operations in Burkina Faso.
Updated 2025 Production and Cost Guidance Reflects Streamlining of the Portfolio
Following the divestiture of the Yaramoko Mine, Fortuna has updated its consolidated production and cost guidance for 2025.
<ul>
<li>Gold equivalent production guidance has been updated to 309,000 to 339,000 ounces, down from the original range of 380,000 to 422,000 ounces; an 18 percent reduction at the midpoint. Consolidated cash cost guidance remains unchanged in the original range of $895 to $1,015 per gold equivalent ounce ("GEO").</li>
<li>All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) guidance has been updated to a range of $1,670 to $1,765 per GEO, up from the previous estimate of $1,550 to $1,680 per GEO. This adjustment indicates a 6% increase over the midpoint of original guidance and primarily reflects the net impact of the exclusion of the Yaramoko Mine's contribution, and a reduction in the AISC estimate for the Lindero Mine. The updated AISC guidance continues to account for expenditures totaling approximately $45 per GEO, including: 
<ul>
<li>$5.3 M for the upgrade of the Company's enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system to SAP S/4HANA</li>
<li>$2 M in land compensation payments at Séguéla</li>
<li>$7 M in incremental government royalty payments at the Séguéla Mine &nbsp;</li>
</ul>

</ul>

McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) announced Monday one of its largest hiring initiatives in years, seeking to add 375,000 employees across U.S. locations this summer as the fast-food giant pursues aggressive expansion despite recent sales challenges.
What Happened: Joe Erlinger, McDonald&#8217;s U.S. president, unveiled the hiring plan alongside Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer at a location near Columbus, Ohio, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/mcdonalds-announces-plan-hire-375000-employees-us-summer-rcna206309">reported</a> NBC News. The initiative aligns with McDonald&#8217;s strategy to open 900 new U.S. restaurants by 2027 and bolster staffing for increased summer demand.
The announcement comes amid broader economic headwinds for the company. Earlier this month, McDonald&#8217;s reported its worst quarterly U.S. same-store sales performance since 2020, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45336128/a-divided-economy-mcdonalds-ceo-says-rich-keep-dining-out-but-average-income-consumers-feeling-economic-anxiety">with a 3.6% decline</a> that missed analyst forecasts of a 1.7% drop. 
Executives cited diminishing foot traffic as the primary factor, noting middle-income consumer visits fell by &#8220;nearly double digits&#8221; alongside continued weakness among low-income customers.
&#8220;People are just visiting less,&#8221; McDonald&#8217;s told investors during its earnings call, pointing to spending cutbacks as consumers increasingly skip meals out or eat breakfast at home to save money.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45368175/cathie-wood-says-index-sensitive-managers-will-be-compelled-to-consider-coinbase-as-crypto-exchange-platform-joins-sp-500-index">Cathie Wood Says &#8216;Index-Sensitive Managers Will Be Compelled to Consider&#8217; Coinbase As Crypto Exchange Platform Joins S&amp;P 500 Index</a>
Why It Matters: The hiring push coincides with the President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s focus on domestic business investment. The White House recently reported securing over $5 trillion in new U.S. investment commitments during Trump&#8217;s first 100 days in office, including major pledges from technology companies.
McDonald&#8217;s leadership has explicitly acknowledged a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45159157/mcdonalds-ceo-the-us-economy-is-dividedlow-income-traffic-down-10-while-rich-diners-continue-to-spend">divided U.S. economy</a>&#8221; where low and middle-income consumers face persistent pressure from inflation despite strong traffic among higher-income patrons. 
The company, which currently operates over 38,000 locations globally, continues emphasizing value offerings, including $5 meal deals to attract price-sensitive customers in this challenging consumer environment.

Payments-focused cryptocurrency XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) retained strong momentum in the early hours of Monday, while higher-valued coins retraced.
What happened: XRP rose by over 3% in the last 24 hours, defying corrections in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).

XRP Rallies Over 3% Tuesday Morning — Is The Coin Heading Toward $3?

President Donald Trump has significantly reduced tariffs on Chinese imports as the United States enters a 90-day period of trade negotiations with China, according to a May 12 executive order.
What Happened: The order decreases the de minimis tariff rate on low-value Chinese imports from 120% to 54%, effective May 14. 
Additionally, the planned increase of the per-postal-item duty from $100 to $200, originally scheduled for June 1, has been suspended. The executive order also lowers general Chinese import tariffs to 10% by suspending 24% from the previously imposed rate for the 90-day negotiation period.
Trump justified these reductions by stating that China has taken &#8220;significant steps to remedy non-reciprocal trade arrangements&#8221; by entering discussions with the United States to address &#8220;the lack of trade reciprocity in our economic relationship and our resulting national and economic security concerns.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The tariff adjustments represent a significant shift in Trump&#8217;s trade strategy that previously targeted Chinese e-commerce platforms like Temu owned by PDD Holdings Inc &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and Shein, after closing the de minimis exemption that had allowed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/04/44714336/temu-shein-brace-for-impact-as-trumps-tariff-torpedo-blows-up-the-800-loophole">goods valued under $800 </a>to enter the United States duty-free. 
The earlier crackdown had substantial ripple effects across digital advertising markets, with Sensor Tower reporting that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45190742/meta-google-snap-set-to-lose-billions-in-ad-revenue-from-chinese-sellers-as-trump-closes-de-minimis-loophole-report">Temu reduced its average daily U.S. advertising</a> spend by 31% between March and mid-April. 
Marketing firm Tinuiti noted that Temu, which represented 19% of all U.S. Google Shopping ads, saw its share <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45190742/meta-google-snap-set-to-lose-billions-in-ad-revenue-from-chinese-sellers-as-trump-closes-de-minimis-loophole-report">drop to zero just one week later</a>.

Trump Lowers De Minimis Tariff On Chinese Imports From 120% To 54%, Pauses $200 Postal Fee Amid 90-Day Trade Shift

Investment banks managing Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) battery supplier CATL&#8217;s IPO, the world&#8217;s largest listing of 2025, are set to earn underwriting fees that fall below the industry standard. 
What Happened: Nine underwriters of Shenzhen-listed battery titan CATL are projected to receive a maximum of HK$238.7 million ($30.62 million). This data was shared by the Chinese firm in a securities filing earlier this week. The fixed commission on Hong Kong's largest listing of the year is just 0.2% of the funds raised—well below the industry average, according to Reuters. 
This fee is just one-third of what Chinese home appliance maker Midea paid banks last year for its nearly $4.6 billion Hong Kong listing. It's also only a quarter of the 0.8% underwriting fee that China's largest express delivery firm, S.F. Holding, paid for its $792 million secondary listing in Hong Kong last November.
The sponsors of the CATL deal—JPMorgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), China International Capital Corporation, and China Securities International—will each receive $300,000 for their involvement. That's roughly half the five-year market average, according to Dealogic data. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) and UBS are serving as joint global coordinators for CATL&#8217;s Hong Kong listing,
CATL may offer a 0.6% discretionary fee as an incentive. The modest fees underscore the tough environment banks face in Asia&#8217;s financial hub, even as a recent uptick in trading volumes and new listings has raised hopes for a rebound in major Chinese offerings.

Why It Matters: This development comes after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45343633/tesla-battery-supplier-catl-to-raise-4-billion-through-hong-kong-listing-report">CATL&#8217;s announcement</a> to raise over $4 billion through a stock listing on Hong Kong&#8217;s stock exchange. The company, a battery supplier for the Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc, aimed to raise the figure by selling over 117.9 million shares priced at HK$263 ($33.75).
CATL&#8217;s offering has seen strong demand and was oversubscribed multiple times since its launch on Monday, attracting interest from sovereign wealth funds and global long-only investors, according to a book message reviewed by Reuters.
Earlier in April, CATL had&nbsp;<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">launched</a>&nbsp;the second-generation ‘Shenxing&#8217; fast-charging battery, which can power over 67 new EVs this year. The battery enables a range of 520 km or approximately 323 miles on a 5-minute charge, and can also be charged from 0% to 80% in 15 minutes in cold weather.

Tesla Supplier CATL Sets Modest Underwriting Fees For World's Biggest IPO Of 2025

During its <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45361586/ast-spacemobile-reports-q1-earnings-key-highlights-from-the-quarter">first quarter earnings</a> call on Monday, satellite designer and manufacturer, AST SpaceMobile Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>) gave a concrete revenue guidance for the first time, forecasted between $50 million to $75 million, heavily weighted to the back half of this year.
What Happened: &#8220;We believe we have a revenue opportunity in 2025 in the range of $50 million to $75 million, back-end loaded in the second half of the year,&#8221; CFO Andrew Johnson said during the call. &#8220;Revenue is ramping on plan,&#8221; he said, from satellite deployments, gateway installations, and milestone payments under government and mobile operator agreements.

The company credited its rapid monetization progress to AST's direct-to-device technology, which allows unmodified mobile devices to connect directly with its growing network of low Earth orbit communication satellites. 
&#8220;We're building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with everyday unmodified mobile devices,&#8221; said President Scott Wisniewski.
&#8220;If you can run a video call, you can support basically any native application that is in your phone,&#8221; said CEO Abel Avellan, highlighting recent video call demonstrations conducted with partners including AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), Vodafone Group Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOD#NASDAQ">VOD</a>), and Rakuten Group Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKUNY#OTC">RKUNY</a>).
Why It Matters: With its direct-to-device technology, AST SpaceMobile is targeting more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44930148/ast-spacemobile-5-reasons-to-buy-this-tiny-trailblazer-stock">3 billion potential users</a>, part of the 42% of the global population currently lacking cellular coverage. The company has already signed agreements with 45 mobile network operators worldwide to help extend its reach.
During its recent first quarter results on Monday, the company reported $718,000 in revenue, up 43.60% year-over-year, but this <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45361586/ast-spacemobile-reports-q1-earnings-key-highlights-from-the-quarter">fell short of consensus</a> estimates by $3.13 million. The company posted a loss of $0.20 per share, which was again $0.01 over analyst estimates.
Price Action: The stock was up 5.43% on Monday, but is down 3.08% after hours following the company&#8217;s first quarter results that fell short of estimates.

In the wake of a 90-day suspension of most tariffs between the U.S. and China, President Donald Trump stated that he engaged in talks with&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook.
What Happened: Trump revealed that Cook intends to boost Apple&#8217;s investment in U.S. operations. &#8220;I spoke to Tim Cook this morning and he&#8217;s going to, I think, even up his numbers,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;$500 billion, he&#8217;s going to be building a lot of plants in the United States for Apple. And we look forward to that,&#8221; <a href="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-admin/admin.php?id=3046&amp;page=benzinga-neuro-displayarticle">reported</a> CNBC.
In early February, Apple revealed plans to invest $500 billion in expanding its U.S. operations, which include assembling artificial intelligence servers in Houston.
Although the U.S.-China trade war truce is expected to benefit Apple, it's uncertain how much Monday's announcement provided immediate relief for the tech giant. Despite a few exemptions, Apple continues to face tariffs on Chinese imports as well as products manufactured in secondary hubs like India and Vietnam.

Why It Matters: The Trump administration has been pressuring Apple to move device production, including iPhones, to the U.S.—a shift many experts view as both unlikely and expensive. Earlier this month, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated that Cook had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45162929/tim-cook-tells-commerce-secretary-lutnick-how-apple-could-bring-iphone-manufacturing-to-us">discussed</a> the potential of relocating iPhone production to the U.S. This conversation aligns with the Trump administration&#8217;s push for Apple to shift device production to the U.S.
On an earnings call, Cook discussed Apple's tariff strategy with investors, stating that the company is currently sourcing products bound for the U.S. from manufacturing sites in Vietnam and India. However, he refrained from making projections beyond June, describing the situation as "difficult to predict."
Furthermore, amid ongoing trade tensions, recent reports indicate that Apple has been contemplating<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45347263/apple-weighs-iphone-price-hike-this-fall-steering-clear-of-tariff-blame-report"> raising the prices</a> for its forthcoming fall iPhone models. However, the tech giant is keen to dismiss any notion that a possible price increase is tied to U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, where most of its devices are assembled.
The tariff suspension resulted in a 6.3% increase in Apple&#8217;s stock on Monday. On a year-to-date basis, the stock plunged 13.56%, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data </a>from Benzinga Pro.

Apple May 'Up Its Numbers' Amid China Tariff Truce: Trump Talks $500 Billion US Investment After Tim Cook Call

China has reportedly resumed accepting Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft deliveries after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44960098/boeing-ceo-says-china-stopped-taking-airplane-deliveries-as-trade-war-rages">a month-long pause</a>, following a significant trade breakthrough with the United States. The development comes as both nations attempt to ease tensions and steady economic ties.
What Happened: Officials in Beijing have told local airlines that they may now proceed with accepting new aircraft from Boeing, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-13/china-removes-ban-on-boeing-deliveries-after-us-trade-truce">reported</a>, citing sources. Airlines have been granted the flexibility to schedule the incoming jets on the basis of their operational needs.
Prior to this, multiple <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888512/boeing-jet-returns-to-us-amid-escalating-tariff-tensions-with-china">planes were returned</a> to the United States after Chinese airlines declined to accept them due to tariffs, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45059743/china-open-to-co-operate-with-us-firms-voices-concern-over-trade-war-impact-as-tariffs-hits-chinese-airlines-and-boeing">China's commerce ministry remarked</a> was hurting the sector.
In response, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44970516/boeing-adjusts-strategy-amid-trump-tariff-fallout-ceo-kelly-ortberg-says-wont-build-aircraft-for-customers-who-will-not-take-them-as-china-halts-deliveries">Boeing indicated its readiness</a> to present the undelivered jets to new buyers in other markets.
Boeing did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Around 50 Boeing aircraft are now expected to reach Chinese airlines this year, sparing the company the expense and delays of seeking replacement customers, and confirming a regular inflow of revenue once deliveries are made.
China is projected to create one-fifth of the world's airplane demand over the next two decades. In 2018, it accounted for nearly 25% of Boeing's total production, Bloomberg noted.
As the U.S. and China have agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">halt their trade dispute</a> for 90 days, reducing most of their retaliatory tariffs from 125% to 10%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45344582/boeing-stock-is-up-on-monday-heres-why">Boeing is set to benefit</a>, with shares climbing on Monday.

China Ends Freeze On Boeing Deliveries As 90-Day Tariff Pause With US Brings Relief: Report

Experts are predicting a surge in the shipments of goods from China to the U.S. following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day tariff pause</a>, which could potentially spur economic activity in the term.
What Happened: According to Ryan Petersen, the founder and CEO of a supply chain management company, Flexport, ocean freight bookings from China to the U.S. increased 35% on the first day since the trade deal.
&#8220;A big backlog is looming; soon the ships will be sold out,&#8221; he added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Louis Navellier from Navellier &amp; Associates also backed this by forecasting that businesses were likely to load up on goods during the 90-day postponement window.
&#8220;In the short run, businesses will be loading up on goods during the 90-day postponement window, which will support employment and reduce the full impact of the tariffs on inflation, and longer term, we should see further announcements of expansion of U.S. manufacturing, which should support business activity and employment,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: As the concerns about &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45339784/mohamed-el-erian-warns-us-china-deal-reveals-americas-fear-of-empty-shelves-as-markets-rally-on-trade-optimism-peter-schiff-skeptical-without-renminbi-revaluation">empty shelves</a>&#8221; rattled the businesses and the economists after the tariff announcement, a 90-day pause is a short-term relief. 
According to the data highlighted by Torsten Slok, the chief economist at Apollo Academy, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45341850/economists-warn-of-empty-shelves-if-goods-stop-coming-from-china-amid-falling-inventory-to-sales-ratio-and-potential-tariffs">inventory-to-sales ratio for retailers</a> fell below the pre-pandemic level, sparking concerns about lower inventory as compared to the sales made by these retailers. 
Slok explained, "In other words, retailers will more quickly have empty shelves when goods no longer come in from China."
However, the boost in goods ordered from China to the U.S. could help ease these concerns, as highlighted by Flexport CEO and Navellier.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, jumped with joy on Monday. The SPY was up 3.30% to $582.99, while the QQQ advanced 4.07% to $507.85, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
After Monday, all the indices were out of the correction zone. The S&amp;P 500 index was down 4.93% from its record high of 6,147.43 points, scaled on Feb. 19.
