'Russia's Crude Shipments Slide To Lowest Since February' -Bloomberg

The current market environment reflects deep uncertainty about the direction of U.S. economic policy. Since the November election, investors have been grappling with a core ambiguity: will the new administration focus on deficit reduction and inflation control to stabilize the long end of the yield curve — or continue to rely on expansionary fiscal measures to sustain growth and support equities?
This policy indecision is playing out in real time through the S&amp;P 500 vs. TLT ratio — a proxy for equity optimism relative to long-duration bond sentiment. Stocks appear to be the clear winner for now, but the uncertainty is far from over.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="512" height="308" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08072415/unnamed-6.png" alt="" class="wp-image-15440" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08072415/unnamed-6.png 512w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08072415/unnamed-6-300x180.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Post-Election Animal Spirits</h2>
From election day through early February, risk assets surged. Equities rallied as markets priced in a pro-growth, pro-inflation policy mix: tax cuts, infrastructure spending, and deregulation.
That optimism drove bond yields sharply higher. The S&amp;P 500 gained in relation to TLT, as expectations for economic growth and inflation soared. It was during this period that the bond vigilantes returned. Bond investors, wary of unchecked fiscal expansion, began demanding higher yields on long-dated Treasuries. Some were calling for — and actively pricing in — 10-year yields above 5% — warning of a potential <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/14/business/trump-market-debt">"Liz Truss moment" for the United States</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10-Year Yield As The New North Star</h2>
In February, the tone began to shift. The administration appeared increasingly focused on managing optics around the 10-year yield. Social media narratives pivoted away from stock performance and toward long-end Treasury rates and government spending efficiency. 
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent openly prioritized stabilizing the 10-year yield. He seemed comfortable with a slowdown in growth and even a market correction — if it meant restoring fiscal credibility. Notably, he described tariffs as a tool for deficit reduction by generating additional revenue.
This narrative shift culminated in the "Liberation Day" correction. Equities sold off sharply, driving a temporary flight to quality in Treasuries. Markets had moved from a pro-growth framework to one dominated by concerns over rising rates, tighter financial conditions, and a more restrictive fiscal stance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Policy U-Turn</h2>
Despite this, the bond market's triumph was short-lived. Shortly after "Liberation Day," markets began pricing in a recession — ironically, a scenario that is also negative for bonds. Recessions typically bring deficit expansions, which are problematic for long-term sovereign debt. With a deficit already near 7% of GDP in non-recessionary conditions, the risk of unsustainable debt dynamics loomed large.
Momentum shifted again. The administration postponed planned tariffs and soon unveiled the "Big, Beautiful Bill" — widely interpreted as a pivot back toward pro-growth policy. Equities rallied, and the S&amp;P 500/TLT ratio climbed higher once more. But this rebound in equity sentiment came at a cost: renewed concern about the long-term sustainability of U.S. fiscal policy and its impact on long-end yields.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Room for Error</h2>
To keep the long end of the curve under control, the administration faces a perilously narrow policy corridor. In our view, the best possible outcome is a mild economic slowdown or shallow recession — enough to cool inflation expectations without triggering another surge in deficit spending.
That scenario could prompt a correction in the S&amp;P 500, driven by stagnant or negative EPS growth. If investors react negatively to the slowdown in earnings, a correction is likely. However, if markets look through the temporary dip in EPS — viewing it as a short-term issue that will improve in the following year — then a correction may not occur. On the other hand, overheating the economy could prove far worse. If policymakers lose control of the long end of the Treasury curve, the cost of capital could rise sharply, placing serious pressure on equity valuations.
The current uncertainty is likely to persist. Investors would do well to track the S&amp;P/TLT ratio closely. When the ratio climbs, it's likely a signal to reduce equity exposure and shift toward bonds. When the ratio falls, it may be a good time to add to equities, as they may be poised for recovery. Either way, this ratio offers a real-time lens on the underlying tension shaping markets in 2025.

VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCIG#NASDAQ">VCIG</a>) ("VCI Global" or the "Company"), today announced that its portfolio company, QuantGold Data Group Limited ("QuantGold"), acquires Secure Encryption Storage Limited ("SES") — a leading encryption hardware company with 129 patents and institutional deployments across over 100 organizations in Asia. With this acquisition, VCIG is positioned to enter the encryption infrastructure sector, anchoring both commercial expansion and sovereign technology development.
SES brings a track record of deployment across sensitive environments in Asia, including government agencies, telecom operators, leading financial institutions, aviation networks, and mobile device manufacturers. Its hardware is built on both symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic standards and designed for resilience against emerging quantum decryption threats. Select devices have achieved EAL4 certification, suitable for national cybersecurity use.
VCIG gains exclusive rights to distribute SES's full product suite in certain regions of Southeast Asia, targeting institutional and enterprise clients across sectors such as telecommunications, finance, and national infrastructure. The portfolio includes military-grade encrypted storage systems with real-time backup, encrypted GPUaaS and AIaaS services, secure mobile communication devices, and advanced field-ready data intelligence hardware. Several of these technologies are already in use by over 100 institutional clients across the region.
SES's encryption stack will become a core component of QuantGold's sovereign AI infrastructure—a platform enabling encrypted data processing across high-value sectors such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. By embedding encryption at the chip level, QuantGold ensures privacy-preserving compute, zero-trust architecture, and blockchain-based validation for regulatory compliance and cross-border protection.
The global cybersecurity market is projected to exceed US$425 billion by 2030, driven by the exponential rise in digital threats and regulatory mandates. Simultaneously, the AI data monetization sector is expected to surpass US$400 billion by 2035, fueled by enterprise adoption of AI models requiring secure, high-quality data access. Through this acquisition and platform integration, VCIG and QuantGold are strategically positioned to serve both megatrends—by delivering encryption at the hardware layer and monetization at the compute layer.

As Levi Strauss &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEVI#NYSE">LEVI</a>) prepares to unveil its second-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LEVI/earnings">earnings on July 10</a>, the iconic denim brand finds itself at a pivotal moment, navigating both market challenges and strategic changes. This earnings report will not only provide insight into Levi&#8217;s financial health but also influence its appeal to dividend-seeking investors, as the company currently offers a competitive yield amid a fluctuating retail landscape.
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at 13 cents per share, down from 16 cents per share in the year-ago period. Levi Strauss projects to report quarterly revenue of $1.37 billion, compared to $1.44 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On May 20, Levi Strauss entered into a definitive agreement to sell Dockers&#xAE; to Authentic Brands Group.
With the recent buzz around Levi Strauss, some investors may also be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. As of now, Levi Strauss offers an annual dividend yield of 2.81%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 13 cents per share (52 cents a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Levi Strauss, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Levi Strauss $0.52 dividend: $6,000 / $0.52 = 11,538 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $225,568 worth of Levi Strauss, or 11,538 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $0.52 = 2,308 shares, or $45,121 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
LEVI Price Action: Shares of Levi Strauss gained by 2.3% to close at $19.55 on Monday.

BP Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) will reopen its office in Tripoli by late 2025 as part of a renewed push to resume operations in Libya, the company confirmed following the signing of a <a target="_blank" href="https://noc.ly/en/bp-reopens-office-in-libya-and-shell-explores-cooperation-in-oil-field-development/" rel="noreferrer noopener">memorandum of understanding</a> with the country's National Oil Corporation (NOC).
The agreement, signed Tuesday in London, sets the stage for BP to assess new exploration and production opportunities in key Libyan fields. NOC Chairman Masoud Suleman welcomed the company's return and called for expanded collaboration in workforce training and development within Libya's oil sector.
The memorandum outlines BP's plan to conduct technical studies evaluating the potential for hydrocarbon development in the Messla and Sarir oil fields and adjacent exploration zones. These efforts are seen as a signal of BP's intention to deepen its operational footprint in the North African nation after years of suspended activities due to conflict and instability.

In a separate meeting, the NOC reached an agreement with Shell Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) for the company to evaluate hydrocarbon prospects and conduct a comprehensive technical and economic feasibility study to develop the al-Atshan field and other fields fully owned by the NOC, excluding any areas where third parties, other than the NOC and Shell, have rights. Shell's initiative complements Libya's broader strategy to boost output and revitalize its energy sector through foreign partnerships.
At the signing event, Suleman emphasized the importance of building technical and leadership capacity within Libya's oil industry and thanked joint technical teams for their work in finalizing the agreements. The NOC hopes the re-engagement of international players will spur sustainable growth and enhance Libya's economic stability.
