The Trump administration is holding firm in its stance on tariffs as broader markets continue to spiral lower into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44663034/asia-in-freefall-hang-seng-posts-worst-drop-since-1997-europe-market-tumbles-oil-slips-gold-eases-global-markets-today-while-us-slept">bear market territory.</a> 
What Happened: On Monday on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/peter-navarro-says-vietnams-0percent-tariff-offer-is-not-enough-its-the-non-tariff-cheating-that-matters.html">Squawk Box</a>,&#8221; White House trade adviser Peter Navarro suggested that tariffed countries will need to bring a lot to the table to negotiate.
"Let's take Vietnam. When they come to us and say &#8216;we'll go to zero tariffs,&#8217; that means nothing to us because it's the non-tariff cheating that matters,"&nbsp;Navarro said. 
Last week, Commerce Secretary&nbsp;Howard Lutnick&nbsp;told CNBC that the move from the Trump Administration is not just in response to tariffs, it's also in response to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44630931/commerce-secretary-lutnick-says-us-markets-will-perform-extremely-well-long-term-despite-trump-tariff-selloff">"non-tariff trade barriers."</a>
Navarro on Monday said these trade barriers include Chinese products evading taxes through transshipments to Vietnam, intellectual property theft, currency manipulation and value-based consumption taxes called VATs. 
&#8220;Vietnam has a 10% VAT. Europe has a 19% VAT. We can&#8217;t compete against that,&#8221; he said.

Navarro later acknowledged that a zero-tariff offer from Vietnam would be a &#8220;small first start.&#8221; President Donald Trump said in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114280292618523684">post</a> on Truth Social last week that General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam To Lam had offered to cut tariffs to zero if they can come to terms with the U.S. 
Trump announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs on several countries last week that has raised concerns over higher prices for consumers, weakening demand and a potential recession.&nbsp;Trump slapped a 46% tariff on imports from Vietnam. 
&#8220;What do we want from them? We want fairness. We don&#8217;t want them to kill American workers by inundating us with this non-tariff cheating,&#8221; Navarro said. 
&#8220;It would be really refreshing to have the media talk more about that. This zero-tariff thing, it&#8217;s a misdirection &#8230; it&#8217;s the non-tariff barriers, the non-tariff barrier cheating.&#8221;

Shares of military shipbuilding company Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>) were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket">trading higher in premarket </a>on Monday after delivering the first two Lionfish small uncrewed undersea vehicles to the U.S. Navy.
This marks a key development in a defense contract that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44664263/hii-delivers-initial-lionfish-suuvs-to-u-s-navy-under-multi-year-program">eventually encompass 200 units and exceed $347 million</a> in total value.
The Lionfish system, derived from HII's REMUS 300 line, is a customizable underwater drone engineered for adaptable use in a range of defense applications like mine countermeasures, surveillance, electronic warfare and submarine tracking.
It was created through a collaboration with the U.S. Navy and the Defense Innovation Unit, aiming to fast-track the integration of commercially developed autonomous technologies into military missions.

The Lionfish initiative marks the Navy's first move from a prototype to full-scale manufacturing within its innovation-focused acquisition strategy. Lionfish remains the sole underwater drone to meet the Navy's cybersecurity requirements.
&#8220;The success and on-time delivery of Lionfish is the product of close collaboration between the government and industry team that will put a critical mine hunting capability in the hands of sailors and marines in an operationally relevant time frame,&#8221; said Duane Fotheringham, president of Mission Technologies&#8217; Uncrewed Systems business group.
The REMUS series allows for quick integration of mission-specific payloads and future tech upgrades. 
In 2023, HII obtained the manufacturing contract and launched production at its specialized autonomous systems site in Pocasset, Massachusetts. 
Since its inception, the REMUS line has been adopted by over 30 nations, including more than a dozen NATO allies. Over 700 units have been sold globally, and over 90% remain operational after more than two decades.
For FY25, Huntington&nbsp;Ingalls sees Mission&nbsp;Technologies'<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43534128/huntington-ingalls-sinks-on-q4-earnings-miss-margins-cash-flow-take-a-hit">&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$2.9 billion – $3.1 billion</a> and a total revenue of $11.80 billion – $12.20 billion.
Price Action: HII shares traded higher by 7.72% at $199.22 in premarket at last check Monday.

Why Is Military Shipbuilding Company Huntington Ingalls Stock Gaining Today?

JPMorgan's Meera Chandan is doubling down on the dollar's downfall and placing a bullish bet on the Japanese yen.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">President Donald Trump'</a>s reciprocal tariffs plunge stocks into the red, there are growing concerns that a recession is possible. 
&#8220;The breadth and size of tariffs have increased recession risks,&#8221; Chandan said. &#8220;Growth is at risk everywhere, including the US.&#8221;
According to Chandan, the currency market is waking up to a stagflationary cocktail: weakening U.S. growth paired with persistent inflation. That combo is taking a bite out of real yields and the greenback&#8217;s allure. As equity allocations fall and capital rethinks its destination, the U.S. dollar is losing its shine.
Chandan sees this as a moment to stay firmly bearish on the dollar, particularly against defensive currencies like the Japanese yen and the euro. But while both offer refuge, she prefers the yen for its relative value. Chandan favors the Japanese yen among traditional reserve currencies, calling it a cheaper defensive option than the Swiss franc.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44315966">The Rise Of ETFs In Japan: How Investors Can Gain From Bond Yield Surge</a>
The technical picture backs her up. With U.S. real yields sliding and equity investors heading for the exit, the yen&#8217;s low yield becomes a feature, not a bug. Chandan isn't just skeptical of the dollar — she's positioning to profit from its pain.
Her strategy includes staying short USD/JPY and loading up on cross-yen shorts like EUR/JPY, NZD/JPY, and CHF/JPY.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Play It</h2>
Retail investors looking to follow Chandan's lead might explore the Invesco CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXY#NYSE">FXY</a>) for direct exposure to yen strength, or ProShares Short U.S. Dollar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOG#NYSE">DOG</a>) for a broader USD bearish bet.
Meanwhile, those hoping to catch the potential euro tailwind might consider Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXE#NYSE">FXE</a>).
With U.S. yields buckling under stagflation pressure, Chandan says it's time to cozy up to the yen. The dollar's safe-haven status? Not so safe anymore.
