Johnson & Johnson Declared 4.8% Increase In The Quarterly Dividend, From $1.24 Per Share To $1.30, Payable On June 10 To Shareholders Of Record At The Close Of Business On May 27

In a recent survey conducted&nbsp;by the Federal Reserve Bank&nbsp;of New York, U.S. consumers have displayed growing apprehension about a potential increase in unemployment. 
What Happened: The survey, carried out in March, showed Americans attributing a 44% chance to the country&#8217;s unemployment rate being higher a year from now. This is the highest level seen since the initial stages of the pandemic in April 2020, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/14/economy/survey-consumers-march-ny-fed/index.html">reported</a> CNN.
The survey also revealed a growing insecurity among people about their job stability, with the perceived likelihood of job loss in the coming year rising to 15.7%, a peak in the last 12 months.
Despite the pessimistic sentiment, the broader economy continues to display resilience according to more objective data. However, the fear is that these negative outlooks could trigger a reduction in spending, resulting in a deceleration of the broader economy.
The survey also highlighted a significant rise in short-term inflation expectations, which jumped 0.5 percentage points to 3.6%&nbsp;— the highest&nbsp;in a year and a&nbsp;half. Economists have cautioned that&nbsp;escalating trade conflicts and aggressive tariff policies could result in higher consumer prices and potentially reignite inflation.
Despite the apprehensions for the upcoming year, long-term inflation expectations remained stable at 3% for the three-year horizon and decreased slightly to 2.9% for the five-year mark.

Why It Matters: This survey comes on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44648338/strong-jobs-report-on-a-day-when-good-news-doesnt-matter-economist-says">heels of a strong March jobs</a> report in early April, which saw nonfarm payrolls surge by 228,000, significantly surpassing economists' forecasts of 135,000. However, the positive jobs report did little to quell fears of a global trade war and its potential impact on the economy.
Furthermore, the Consumer Confidence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">Index fell </a>by 7.2 points to 92.9 in late March, marking its fourth consecutive monthly decline and the lowest reading since late 2022, according to data released by The Conference Board. This decline was largely driven by fears of inflation, stock market volatility, and tariff-driven price hikes.
Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Governor, Christopher Waller warned that President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs could spike short-term inflation but that would be temporary.
These factors highlight the growing disconnect between the actual economic data and consumer sentiment, which could have significant implications for the economy moving forward.

U.S. stock futures were volatile on Tuesday following a two-day advance. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed in premarket.
Donald Trump hinted at helping the car companies while talking to reporters in his Oval Office on Monday. He explained that automakers require a transition period to shift production from Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.
&#8220;And they need a little bit of time because they're going to make them here, but they need a little bit of time. So I'm talking about things like that,&#8221; he said.
Stocks advanced for two consecutive days after he exempted smartphones, computers, and semiconductors from the reciprocal tariffs on Friday. However, he hinted that he may look at levying duties on the chips imported into the U.S. on Sunday in a Truth Social post.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.38% and the two-year bond was at 3.86%.

Insights From Analysts:
Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that she sees a &#8220;light at the end of the tunnel,&#8221; despite the ongoing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44807265/cathie-wood-says-shock-therapy-from-trumps-trade-moves-may-end-prolonged-economic-slump"> tariff turmoil</a>. According to Wood, tariffs could be the catalyst to end a three-year "rolling recession."
She said that Trump&#8217;s decision to bring Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent into the process indicates a move to reduce both tariffs and non-tariff trade obstacles. She contends this shift wouldn&#8217;t have occurred without the initial &#8220;shock therapy&#8221; of aggressive trade measures.
The slowdown caused by the tariff introduction will give the administration and the Federal Reserve "more degrees of freedom to stimulate than most investors have been expecting,&#8221; she said.
This will create a "clarion call" for tax cuts, deregulation, and lower interest rates, ultimately paving the way for economic recovery, Wood added.

The analysts at BlackRock extended their tactical horizon back to six to 12 months and resumed their positive view on U.S., while still expecting the &#8220;ongoing risk asset volatility and potentially sharp reversals.&#8221;
Spiking yields in long-term U.S. Treasuries seemed to be a factor in the change in tariff tactics, the weekly note stated.
&#8220;We stay underweight long-term Treasuries, our highest conviction view: tariffs are likely to add to already sticky inflation, and congressional budget plans last week reinforce the outlook for persistent budget deficits. We favor gold instead as a portfolio diversifier.&#8221;
According to BlackRock, the broad-based equity selloff has created opportunities to tap into certain sectors, and &#8220;selectivity is key.&#8221;
&#8220;We still like U.S. technology benefitting from the AI buildout and adoption. We also favor global banks. That includes U.S. banks given the scope for deregulation even with some potential economic pain.&#8221;

US Stock Futures Waver After Two-Day Rally: Trump's Tariff Moves Could End A 3-Year 'Rolling Recession,' Says Expert

On Monday, April 14, U.S. markets ended higher, boosted by Apple after the White House excluded smartphones and computers from reciprocal tariffs. Still, concerns over pending semiconductor tariffs and broader trade uncertainty capped gains.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors advanced—real estate, utilities, and consumer staples led—while consumer discretionary lagged. Analysts flagged a potential &#8220;death cross&#8221; in the S&amp;P 500, signaling possible longer-term weakness.

<li>The PEA will consider the existing Project mineral resource estimate comprising 294 million tonnes (Mt) at 0.68 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEq) for 6.48 million ounces (Moz) AuEq in the indicated resource category, and 198 Mt at 0.65 g/t AuEq for an additional 4.16 Moz AuEq in the inferred resource category. See Table 1 for details of this estimate. &nbsp;</li>
<li>The timing of the planned PEA is aligned with strong metal pricing, with gold hitting a series of record high prices over the past year and current spot gold exceeding $3,000/oz, versus the mineral resource estimate gold price of $1,850/oz. &nbsp;</li>
<li>The decision to proceed with the PEA follows successful drilling programs completed in 2023 and 2024, which included the best ever drill intercept of 652.5 meters at 1.00 g/t AuEq (see news release dated September 30, 2024) and discovery and expansion of additional high-grade mineralization within the Whistler Deposit. &nbsp;</li>
<li>The Company has completed an internal gap analysis to ensure a comprehensive dataset will inform the PEA. A Request for Proposal ("RFP") process is currently underway to identify a mine engineering firm that will partner with the Company to complete the study. Further details regarding the successful applicant and expectation around timing for completion of the PEA will be announced at the completion of the RFP process. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Strong policy tailwinds for the Project within a supportive climate of state and federal policies respecting responsible resource extraction in Alaska (see news releases dated January 27, 2025, and March 24, 2025). &nbsp;</li>
<li>Whistler is the closest large undeveloped gold-copper mineral deposit to Anchorage, Alaska's largest city (see Figure 1) and therefore has good proximity to existing highways, port facilities, grid power and a skilled work force, supply chain and services sector.</li>

Eric Trump, strategic advisor to Japan-based Metaplanet Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>), cheered the firm&#8217;s jump in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings over the last year.
What Happened: In an X post on Monday, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich attached a snippet of the company&#8217;s Bitcoin holdings tracker, highlighting a sharp jump from April, when it first began buying BTC, to the present. 
Gerovich wrote, &#8220;Accelerate,&#8221; accompanied by the rocket emoji, emblematic of the &#8220;to the moon&#8221;&nbsp;bullish sentiment that cryptocurrency aficionados usually preach.
In response, Trump, who recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44430557/eric-trump-named-advisor-to-metaplanet-japanese-bitcoin-firm-whose-stock-surged-2152-in-the-last-year"> became a member</a> of Metaplanet&#8217;s newly established Strategic Board of Advisors, endorsed the rapidly growing Bitcoin hoard by adding the rocket and fire emojis.

Eric Trump Celebrates Metaplanet's Bitcoin Moonshot As 'Asia's Strategy' Rockets Into Top 10 Corporate Holders With $388 Million BTC Stash

In a landmark antitrust trial, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stand on Monday. During his testimony, Zuckerberg disclosed a previously unimplemented plan to reset all Facebook users&#8217; connections in 2022.
What Happened: The U.S. government summoned Zuckerberg to testify in its case against Meta. The outcome of this trial could potentially result in the breakup of the social media&nbsp;behemoth.
Zuckerberg, in a 2022 internal email to Meta&#8217;s top brass, proposed an extreme measure to keep Facebook culturally relevant. He suggested resetting all user connections, or &#8220;graphs,&#8221; as he referred to them.&#8221;One potentially crazy idea is to consider wiping everyone&#8217;s graphs and having them start again,&#8221; read the email.
Despite reservations from Facebook&#8217;s head, Tom Alison, Zuckerberg further inquired about the possibility of transitioning profiles to a follow model, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-testify-meta-antitrust-trial-federal-trade-commission-2025-4">according</a> to a report by Business Insider.
Zuckerberg confirmed during his testimony that this drastic plan was never put into action. He also noted that Facebook&#8217;s primary function has evolved over the past two decades and is no longer primarily about connecting with friends. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)&nbsp;argued that Meta monopolizes apps&nbsp;for content sharing with friends and family.

Why It Matters: Facebook has faced challenges due to an aging user base and declining cultural relevance, while other platforms under its parent company Meta—such as Instagram and WhatsApp—have risen to prominence in its place.
When Meta announced its quarterly results in January, Zuckerberg disclosed plans to restore the original&nbsp;<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/facebook" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook</a>, to "how it was originally used back in the day". The Meta CEO wanted to make it more &#8220;culturally influential&#8221; 
He also stated that changes might begin to take effect over the next six months to a year. "I&#8217;m excited this year to get back to some OG Facebook."
The ongoing trial could lead to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44805013/mark-zuckerberg-takes-the-stand-as-landmark-antitrust-trial-threatens-to-break-up-metas-137-trillion-empire-trial-will-show-what-every-17-year-old-in-the-world-knows-says-spokesperson">forced divestiture</a> of Instagram and WhatsApp, if the FTC&#8217;s case against Meta is successful. The outcome of this trial could significantly impact Meta&#8217;s business model and its dominance in the social media market. 
The momentum rating of META is 73.56% while its growth rating is 74.90%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.
