Jefferies Maintains Hold on Old Dominion Freight Line, Lowers Price Target to $165

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Fox Business Wednesday to praise President Donald Trump's aggressive trade stance and decry China's latest move to hike tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708618/china-retaliates-with-massive-84-tariff-hike-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war">U.S. goods to 84%</a>.
What Happened: "They have the most imbalanced economy in the history of the modern world," Bessent said, referring to Beijing. "They can raise their tariffs, but so what? Their exports to the U.S. are five times ours to them. This escalation is a loser for them."
Bessent warns that China's economy is already in a deep structural slowdown, weighed down by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38643079/chinas-new-homes-market-is-in-a-state-of-freefall">a real estate crisis</a> and weak consumer demand.
Meanwhile, Trump's tariff-induced sell-off has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/04/44679299/trump-tariffs-triggers-historic-equity-wipeout-outpacing-covid-lehman-crashes-with-no-bond-rally-to-cushion-the-blow-says-lawrence-mcdonald">wiped out $9 trillion</a> in equity capital over six weeks. It rivals the $9 trillion lost during the COVID crash in 2020 over one month. It also surpasses the $8 trillion erased during the 12 months following the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008. Also, U.S. consumer confidence is at its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">lowest level since late 2022</a>.
But Bessent insists that the trade war is compounding China's economic problems. Any attempt by Beijing to manipulate its currency to offset tariffs would damage its own economy, he argues.
"They're going from bad to terrible," Bessent said. "If China tries to devalue their way out of this, then that's a tax on the rest of the world."
Bessent added that such a move would likely trigger a global chain reaction, forcing other countries like Japan, South Korea, and the European Union to raise tariffs in response to a weaker yuan. He claims that would further isolate China economically.
"Everyone is coming to the table. Basically, China is surrounded," Bessent said, referring to growing trade cooperation between the U.S. and key Asian allies like Vietnam, Japan and South Korea.
Bessent also tied the tariff push to national security, pointing to China's role in the fentanyl epidemic that continues to ravage the U.S. population. He said that addressing the flow of precursor chemicals from China should be a top priority in any negotiations.
"Distributing drugs in China is punishable by death. Why don't they apply the same standard to the people who are exporting these chemicals to the U.S.?" Bessent asked.
He said the original trigger for Trump's tariff escalation was China's failure to stop fentanyl exports. This, he says, remains a valid reason to maintain pressure.

Why It Matters: Bessent says China's retaliatory tariff action in response to the U.S. imposing a 104% tariff on Chinese goods will hurt its own fragile economy far more than it impacts the U.S.
Chinese officials disagree. "As the world's second-largest economy and the second-largest consumer market, China will only continue to open its doors wider, regardless of the changing international landscape," China's Foreign Ministry said in a <a href="https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/zyxw/202504/t20250405_11588935.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a> on April 5.
Markets remain in turmoil, with the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) nearing bear market territory, while pressure is now extending to Treasuries as well.
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) plunging 6.5% over four sessions. But Bessent played down fears of a systemic crisis, characterizing the selloff in Treasuries as a normal market shakeout.
"This is an uncomfortable but normal deleveraging. Some large leverage players are experiencing losses and being forced to reduce exposure," Bessent said.
Aas leverage comes down, the bond market will stabilize, he said. Bank deregulation will calso reate new, more durable demand for Treasuries, he added.
What&#8217;s Next: The White House is moving to pass a tax extension package and roll out further deregulation measures aimed at reigniting private sector investment, Bessent says.
He called the negotiations "substantial" and said Trump's direct involvement is accelerating momentum on Capitol Hill. Deregulation, he noted, takes time to show results, but will be "powerful" once implemented.
"We are going to releverage the private sector through smart, safe and sound bank deregulation," Bessent said. "Part of that includes changing the Supplementary Leverage Ratio so banks can buy more Treasuries without a big capital charge."
Bessent said Trump's economic plan is about reversing trends from the previous administration. 
It&#8217;s worth noting that, under the Biden administration, the U.S. unemployment rate was 3.4% at one point. The last time it was that low <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/23/05/32369714/its-been-70-years-since-a-president-with-unemployment-at-3-4-had-approval-ratings-as-low-as-bide">was in 1969</a>.
"We're reprivatizing the economy," Bessent said. &#8220;As we get the budget under control and inflation under control, energy prices will come down, and then the private sector will have room to grow.&#8221;

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) sharp decline has sparked renewed debate: is Bitcoin truly a risk asset, or is it evolving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44681738/bitcoin-is-a-more-liquid-and-higher-volatility-version-of-gold-bernstein">into a safe haven?</a>
What Happened: Prominent Bitcoin investor Scott Melker analyzed the price action in his &#8220;Macro Monday&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc4u1kiU-zs">podcast</a>, joining a panel of financial analysts that dissected the crash triggered by President Trump's aggressive tariff announcements. 
Sunday and Monday were described as "some of the worst market days in history," with equities and crypto both taking major hits.
Mike Mloone warned that a correction was long overdue, even going as far as predicting a potential fall to $10,000 for BTC due to excessive equity valuations. 
Dave Weisberger argued the sell-off was driven by forced liquidations, with nearly $500 million wiped out in a short window.
James Lavish, however, defended Bitcoin's long-term thesis, pointing to the inevitability of more monetary expansion and debt accumulation: "The entire system is built on debt. Bitcoin is still the safe haven — just not always in the short term."
Geopolitical Context
The panel also touched on Trump's trade policy, suggesting the former president's push to address imbalances and national debt might spook markets, but are unlikely to lead to meaningful budget cuts without massive political fallout.
The broader takeaway: economic instability is growing, and investors are now re-evaluating what constitutes a "safe" asset in a landscape of macro uncertainty.

What's Next: In a podcast published on Tuesday, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_GATrTYel8">said</a> Bitcoin's correction could be the defining moment of the 2024–2025 cycle. Here's how he breaks it down:
<ul>
<li>Bullish Scenario: If Bitcoin holds the $70,000 range—like how it dipped below prior cycle highs in 2017—it could maintain its bullish market structure. A brief dip to around $69,000 would be acceptable.</li>
<li>Bearish Scenario: A drop into the low $60,000s could lead to a &#8220;macro lower high&#8221; on the rebound, potentially marking the end of the bull market.</li>
</ul>
Cowen also compared this setup to the S&amp;P 500's 1998 rejection, warning that this could signal a shift in Federal Reserve policy. The upcoming May 7 Fed meeting could be a key catalyst. He also pointed out that mid-April has historically marked major turning points in crypto cycles.

U.S. Trade Representative Greer Says There Is An Opportunity For Countries To Cut Tariffs And Non-tariff Barriers In Negotiations Over U.S. Reciprocal Tariffs; Has Had A Number Of Conversations With UK Trade Counterpart; Kenya Trade Counterpart Wants To Engage With The U.S. For A Trade Agreement

Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) shares are moving lower Wednesday alongside several pharmaceutical giants after President Donald Trump indicated that tariffs on pharmaceutical companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708204/trump-hints-at-major-tariff-on-imported-pharmaceuticals-us-pharma-stocks-tumble-in-wednesday-pre-market">are on the horizon</a>.
What Happened: At a dinner on Capitol Hill with House Republicans Tuesday night, Trump announced that &#8220;major&#8221; tariffs on pharmaceutical products made outside the U.S. are coming &#8220;very shortly,&#8221; according to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-trump-tariffs-trade-war-04-09-25/card/trump-defends-tariffs-announces-pharmaceutical-levies-coming-soon-dorFjXxnYvU8Xm0iRrGb">Wall Street Journal</a>.
&#8220;We're going to tariff our pharmaceuticals and once we do that they're going to come rushing back into our country because we're the big market,&#8221; Trump reportedly said. 
&#8220;So we're going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals and when they hear that, they will leave China, they will leave other places because they have to — most of their product is sold here.&#8221;
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708618/china-retaliates-with-massive-84-tariff-hike-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war">Xi Jinping Hits Back: China Raises Tariffs On US Goods To 84%, Doubling Down On Trade War</a>
The report indicates that Trump claimed the U.S. is currently generating approximately $2 billion from tariffs per day. He also reportedly said countries are &#8220;dying to make a deal&#8221; following his sweeping reciprocal tariff announcement.
Trump&#8217;s tariffs went into effect on Wednesday, including a massive 104% tariff on goods from China. China responded by hiking tariffs on U.S. imports from 34% to 84%, deepening the trade war between the world&#8217;s two largest economies.
&#8220;There are no winners in a trade war,&#8221; China&#8217;s commerce ministry reportedly said in a statement. &#8220;China does not want one, but the government will never allow the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese people to be harmed or taken away.&#8221;
Pfizer is one of the world&#8217;s largest pharmaceutical companies, with annual sales above $63 billion in 2024. Shares are down approximately 20% year-to-date. 
UBS analyst Trung Huynh maintained Pfizer with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">Neutral rating</a> and lowered the price target from&nbsp;$28&nbsp;to&nbsp;$24 on Tuesday. Goldman Sachs downgraded Pfizer to Neutral and lowered its price target from $32 to $25. 
PFE Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/pfe">Pfizer shares</a> were down 2.77% at $21.24 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
