In a biography by Stephen Witt, &#8220;The&nbsp;Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia,&nbsp;and the World&#8217;s Most Coveted Microchip,&#8221; readers are given a peek into the life and career of&nbsp;Nvidia&#8217;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO, Jensen Huang.&nbsp;
What Happened: Launched in the U.S. on April 8, Witt&#8217;s book narrates Nvidia&#8217;s transformation from a secondary player to a leading figure in the AI revolution. It uncovers Huang&#8217;s rigorous leadership style, which encourages large meetings for collective learning through the dissection of the team&#8217;s work, reported <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-stephen-witt-thinking-machine-book-biography-2025-4">Business Insider</a>.
The book also compares Huang&#8217;s AI strategy with other tech leaders like Tesla CEO Elon Musk and OpenAI&#8216;s Sam Altman. When the author asked Huang to demonstrate the future that he&#8217;s building. Huang responded, &#8216;I feel like you&#8217;re interviewing Elon right now, and not me.&#8217; Speaking about Musk and Altman, Huang told his biographer, Jensen, like, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to just build the hardware these guys need, and see where it&#8217;s going.&#8221;
The biographer contrasts Musk and Huang&#8217;s approaches to innovation. Elon starts with a bold, science fiction-like vision, such as standing on Mars, and then works backward to figure out the technology needed to achieve it. In contrast, Jensen focuses purely on practical, present-day challenges, building forward logically from what&#8217;s in front of him without relying on futuristic visions.
 Huang &#8220;hates science fiction,&#8221; Witt told BI.
Witt also revealed that despite being very good at it, Huang genuinely hates public speaking, interviews, and onstage presentations. It makes him nervous and stressed, especially now that GTC has become a big event.
Why It Matters: Witt&#8217;s book offers a captivating glimpse into the mindset of one of the tech industry&#8217;s longest-serving CEOs and the culture at Nvidia, a company at the forefront of the AI revolution.
Huang <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43995198/jensen-huang-wants-nvidia-and-him-to-be-remembered-for-making-an-extraordinary-impact-as-the-chip-giant-continues-to-expand-its-legacy">envisions Nvidia</a>&#8216;s legacy as a transformative force in technology, impacting industries beyond gaming. This vision aligns with the pragmatic approach to AI outlined in Witt&#8217;s book. Huang&#8217;s approach focuses on building on the existing technology rather than speculating about the future, according to Witt.
However, the tech<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44643859/elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-and-jensen-huang-lose-34-billion-heres-how-much-other-magnificent-7-billionaires-lost-after-trumps-liberation-day"> industry is volatile</a>, as seen in April when Huang, along with other top billionaires, lost nearly $34 billion after Trump&#8217;s Liberation Day. This volatility underscores the importance of Huang&#8217;s pragmatic approach to AI and Nvidia&#8217;s future.

Delta Air Lines, Kura Sushi And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Following a jump in the U.S. Treasury yields, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) swap spreads have widened, signaling a &#8220;serious liquidity&#8221; issue, according to Ark Invest&#8217;s Cathie Wood. Experts believe that only the government and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s intervention would be able to contain this crisis.
What Happened: SOFR is a benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing cash overnight, and it is used as a reference rate for various financial transactions.
On the other hand, the SOFR swap spread is the difference between the fixed rate in a SOFR-based interest rate swap and the yield on a government bond of the same maturity.
This surge in SOFR swap spread is a result of the dramatic rise in the 10-year Treasury bond yields, which are up from a recent low of 3.87% on April 4, which was two days after the &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; to 4.44% at the time of writing.
According to Wood, a widening negative SOFR swap spread is sending a distress signal pointing to a potential crisis of liquidity in U.S. banks.
She argues that this crisis necessitates a geopolitical solution through a trade agreement, which she terms the &#8220;Mar-a-Lago Accord,&#8221; and a monetary policy solution through aggressive intervention by the Federal Reserve.
She further underscores the severity of the situation by adding that there is &#8220;No more time to waste&#8221;.

Adding to this, Joseph Wang, the CIO at Monetary Macro said in an X post, &#8220;If the White House wants lower 10 year yields they need to speed up banking regulation reforms.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The surge in yields suggests that bond prices are falling amid an ongoing market correction. Simplistically, this indicates that investors, who traditionally prefer investing in bonds during a stock market crash, are liquidating their positions. However, there is more at play here.
After President Donald Trump levied 104% tariff duties on China after the latter&#8217;s retaliation, Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research suggests that &#8220;Fixed-income investors may be starting to worry that the Chinese and other foreigners might start selling their U.S. Treasuries.&#8221;
Moreover, the credit markets are also starting to show signs of stress as the yield spread between the high-yield corporate bond composite and the 10-year Treasury bond is widening rapidly.
According to the data shared by Yardeni, the high-yield corporate spread stood at 407 basis points as of April 7, indicating reduced investor confidence, economic slowdown, or recession fears.
Consequently, ETFs that invest in high-yield corporate bonds and in senior bank loans are starting to plunge.
The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYG#NYSE">HYG</a>) and Invesco Senior Loan ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKLN#NYSE">BKLN</a>) are down 3.64% and 2.75%, respectively, over the last five days.
&#8220;The good news is that the Fed Put will probably make a quick comeback if this happens,&#8221; said Yardeni.
Additionally, highlighting his concerns about rising yields, economist Peter Schiff said, &#8220;Without an emergency rate cut tomorrow morning and the announcement of a massive QE program, tomorrow could be a 1987-style stock market crash.&#8221;

Billionaire Warren Buffett, who became&nbsp;a millionaire by age 32, shares his secret to success with Gen Z: it&#8217;s not just about hard work, but also about the company you keep.
What Happened: Buffett's journey began with selling Coca-Cola door-to-door, a humble start that helped shape his future success. He believes others can follow his path if they identify their strengths, choose the right people, and aren&#8217;t afraid of making mistakes.

Buffett, the head of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), in an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cbssundaymorning/reel/DGqR78rOelc/">interview</a> with CBS News in March, emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people throughout one&#8217;s career. He highlighted intelligence, energy, and integrity as the top qualities he seeks in a work partner. He warned against trying to change people, citing his successful partnership with the late Charlie Munger as an example.
"Figure out what your strengths are and then pick the right people and don't be afraid of making mistakes," he said.
Buffett also noted that choosing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37988324/sam-bankman-fried-sentenced-to-25-years-judge-points-to-ambition-political-manipulation">wrong business partner can be costly</a>, using the example of Sam Bankman-Fried, whose cryptocurrency exchange went bankrupt. He encouraged Gen Zers to be resilient in the face of adversity and to invest in themselves.
Why It Matters: Buffett&#8217;s advice aligns with his previous statements. In 2024, he advised everyone to &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40073339/advice-from-warren-buffett-that-everyone-needs-to-hear-write-your-obituary">write your obituary</a>&#8221; and live up to it, reflecting on mortality after the passing of his business partner, Charlie Munger. In March 2025, he emphasized the importance of choosing the right life partner, attributing his success to this decision in a conversation with Bill Gates. 
He also discouraged accepting jobs solely for their resume value or slightly higher starting pay, instead recommending finding work with a person or organization one admires, as reported in a speech at the University of Georgia.
Meanwhile, as President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff hike rattled global markets, billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg saw their fortunes tumble. Meanwhile, the ‘Oracle of Omaha'—Buffett—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44658417/warren-buffett-stands-tall-in-2025-as-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-and-mark-zuckerberg-bleed-billions-in-net-worth-oracle-of-omaha-emerges-as-lone-gainer-among-top-billionaires-amid-market-rout">stood out as the only top 10 billionaire</a> to post a year-to-date net worth gain in 2025.

Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of&nbsp;SkyBridge Capital, reflected on his unwavering faith in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on Tuesday despite being mocked for it in the past.
What Happened:&nbsp;During an interview with journalist and author Katty Kay, Scaramucci talked about a bobblehead made by his staff, depicting him&nbsp;sinking in a Bitcoin boat.&nbsp;
This was a reference to a picture featured in a New York Post&#8217;s three-year-old <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/20/anthony-scaramucci-doubles-down-on-crypto-as-clients-eye-the-exits/">piece </a>about Scaramucci&#8217;s Bitcoin conviction despite pressures faced by his flagship SkyBridge fund. The cartoon showed Scaramucci sinking his Bitcoin-laden boat, labeled &#8220;S.S. Mooch,&#8221; in water.

&#8220;Just a reminder, I didn&#8217;t&nbsp;sell any Bitcoin there, and&nbsp;I was rewarded,&#8221; Scaramucci said, signaling how Bitcoin has rebounded and even crossed $100,000 since then.
Why It Matters:&nbsp; Scaramucci&#8217;s conviction in Bitcoin has been well-known.

Anthony Scaramucci Rode His BTC Boat Through Choppy Waters Of 2022 Bear Market: 'Didn't Sell Any Bitcoin There, And I Was Rewarded'

Christophe Fouquet, CEO of semiconductor heavyweight ASML, has a blunt response for those seeking a shortcut to the corner office: Stop asking. He believes the question "How do I become CEO?" misses the point entirely.
What Happened: "I see too many young people who come to see me, and they want to be CEO, and they ask me ‘how do we become CEO?' And I try to explain to them in the nicest possible way that this is almost an absurd question," Fouquet told Norges Bank Investment Management CEO Nicolai Tangen on the In Good Company podcast.

Instead, he said, aspiring leaders should ask, "What am I going to do tomorrow that really gets me excited, that really brings the best out of me?"

Fouquet, who never craved the C-Suite in his early years, earned around €3.5 million last year. "Because if you go and do that every day, there may be a chance you become CEO — most probably a bigger chance that you don't—but you will equally end up doing something that brings you joy, energy, and most importantly brings that to the people around you." He encourages students to choose subjects they genuinely enjoy instead of focusing on strategic career paths.
ASML, valued at roughly $230 billion, has skyrocketed in importance. Its lithography machines power advanced semiconductor production for top players like Nvidia, fueling tech's post-pandemic and AI-driven surge.
"I think the first part of your career is about proving yourself, I truly believe that," Fouquet said. "And then you look forward, you say, okay, what's next… what can I do to help and where is the place where I can do something that matters?"

The recruitment landscape is undergoing a significant shift as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being utilized to screen resumes and rank applications.
What Happened: The use of AI-powered tools to screen resumes before they reach recruiters is on the rise, reported <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/08/tech/ai-resume-job-hunters/index.html">CNN</a>. This is largely due to the high volume of applications that some job postings attract.48% of hiring managers use AI to screen resumes and applications, according to data from Resume Genius.
The AI recruitment sector is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6.1% from 2023 to 2030, as per the Society for Human Resources Management.
AI tools can understand the&nbsp;content of a resume, going beyond just scanning for keywords. This allows for a more holistic view of the candidate, inferring skills rather than relying on specific words. This approach benefits both recruiters and candidates, as it allows applications to be seen&nbsp;in their entirety by the&nbsp;algorithm.
AI is also being used to simplify the hiring process. For instance, LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corporation, introduced an AI agent for handling routine HR tasks such as screening applications. The agent, called Hiring Assistant, provides a list of top contenders sourced from applicants or the network&#8217;s profiles. LinkedIn is also working on a tool that allows job seekers to describe their desired role rather than searching for a specific job title.

However, AI is not without its flaws. It is still prone to bias and can sometimes output false information. Experts stress that while AI can streamline the hiring process, the final decision should always be made by a human.
Why It Matters: The rise of AI in recruitment aligns with the&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43149854/ai-ai-agents-will-create-unprecedented-opportunities-and-profound-risks-world-economic-forum-says">World Economic Forum&#8217;s prediction</a>&nbsp;that AI and AI agents will significantly change the workforce and job market. The report suggested that 41% of employers expect to reduce their workforce size in roles where AI can replicate human work.
Moreover,&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43425534/linkedin-and-indeed-are-finally-holding-employers-accountable-new-ai-tools-will-show-job-seekers-their-chances-of-getting-a-response">LinkedIn&#8217;s introduction of AI-powered tools</a>&nbsp;to help job seekers gauge their chances of receiving responses from potential employers is a testament to the growing influence of AI in recruitment.
However, it&#8217;s important to note that AI skills are not the only factor in hiring decisions. As Accenture&#8217;s CEO,<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44658480/accenture-boss-julie-sweets-simple-question-determines-who-gets-hired-and-its-not-about-ai-skills"> Julie Sweet</a> highlighted, other factors can also play a crucial role in the hiring process.

Price Target

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Delta Air Lines Price Expectations Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates and an influential voice among investors, has delivered a sobering message where he states that United States citizens are not just dealing with trade skirmishes but watching the slow-motion collapse of the global system as we know it.
What Happened: In a detailed public post, Dalio criticized the media and market obsession with President <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44698325/trump-tariff-strategy-self-inflicted-market-debacle-says-wedbush-analyst">Trump's tariffs</a>, arguing that they are merely "a symptom, not the cause" of the turmoil. "Don't make the mistake of thinking that what's now happening is mostly about tariffs," he warned.

&mdash; Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) <a href="https://twitter.com/RayDalio/status/1909296189473693729?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 7, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Dalio Talking About?</h3>
Dalio outlines what he sees as five converging crises:
<ul>
<li>Monetary and Economic Breakdown: U.S. debt now exceeds $36 trillion and continues to balloon. Dalio calls the U.S.-China economic relationship an "incongruous&#8221; debtor-creditor addiction cycle, driven by deglobalization and dangerously unsustainable borrowing.</li>
<li>Domestic Political Unraveling: He sees a deepening rift between the far left and far right. "Compromise is now viewed as weakness," he noted, echoing data from Pew Research that shows 85% of Americans believe political conflict is worsening.</li>
<li>Geopolitical Realignment: The old U.S.-led world order is breaking apart. Trump's "America First" strategy, from tariffs to tech bans, signals a shift to a "power-rules approach." Dalio connects this to historical cycles in which emerging powers challenge incumbents — China, in this case, whose GDP (PPP) overtook the U.S. in 2024, per IMF data.</li>
<li>Climate Instability: Floods, droughts, and pandemics are no longer one-off events—they&#8217;re systemic shocks that further erode fragile political and financial systems.</li>
<li>Technological Disruption: AI is accelerating everything — from geopolitical arms races to labor market dislocation. "This is not business as usual," Dalio warned.</li>
</ul>

Analyst Identifies This Level As &#8216;Key&#8217; Support To Watch</a>
Why It Matters: Dalio suggests that policymakers stop reacting to headlines and start studying the past. "What's happening now resembles the debt-default cycles of the 1930s and the stagflation chaos of the 1970s," he wrote.
Elsewhere, fellow billionaire investor Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square, warns of severe potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44659521/bill-ackman-warns-against-launching-economic-nuclear-war-wants-a-90-day-time-out-on-trump-tariffs">economic repercussions</a> of escalating tariffs, stating that business relies heavily on trust and confidence. Ackman also called for a 90-day pause on tariff implementation — a move that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44680956/billionaire-banker-backs-trumps-shock-and-awe-tariff-policies-slams-bill-ackmans-call-for-90-day-pause">slammed</a> by another billionaire Andrew Beal.
