GameStop, IonQ, Intuit, Advance Auto Parts, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

In a high-stakes ruling that expands presidential authority over independent federal agencies, the U.S. Supreme Court had one notable exception, the Federal Reserve.
What Happened: On Thursday, the apex court granted <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25951855-24a966-order/">a</a> stay that allows President Donald Trump to remove members of the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board without cause, while carving out an exception for the Federal Reserve.
The Court stated that the &#8220;arguments in this case necessarily implicat[ing] the constitutionality of for-cause removal protections&#8221; do not apply to the Federal Reserve, describing the central bank as a &#8220;uniquely structured, quasi-private entity&#8221; grounded in the historical tradition of the First and Second Banks of the United States.
Associate Justice Elena Kagan joined Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Jackson in slamming the ruling, calling it &#8220;puzzling.&#8221; 
She argued that &#8220;the Federal Reserve's independence rests on the same constitutional and analytic foundations&#8221; as agencies like the NLRB and FTC, calling the Fed exception a &#8220;bespoke&#8221; law meant to calm the markets.
The Court&#8217;s decision is temporary and is only in effect until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit resolves the government&#8217;s appeal.

Why It Matters: Trump has criticized, and even floated the idea of ousting Fed Chair Jerome Powell several times recently, for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44861571/donald-trump-blasts-too-late-and-wrong-fed-chair-powell-but-polymarket-traders-doubt-his-termination-will-come-fast-enough">not cutting rates</a> fast enough. 
The markets experienced turmoil for days following these comments, before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44940900/us-futures-dollar-jump-amid-trumps-latest-comments-on-fed-nikkei-rebounds-to-three-week-high">Trump walked away</a>, stating that he had &#8220;no intention&#8221; of firing Powell. 
Economist Nouriel Roubini criticized Trump for his <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44941184/roubini-trump-wants-a-rate-cutbut-powells-restraint-is-the-only-thing-saving-him-from-a-market-meltdown">attacks against Powell</a>, referring to it as &#8220;a repeated own goal,&#8221; while adding that even if he got his way after winning a Supreme Court battle, it would only be a&nbsp;&#8220;pyrrhic victory,&#8221; as it would ultimately only lead to higher bond yields, owing to the &#8220;de-anchoring of inflation expectations.&#8221;

Trump May Not Be Able To Fire Jerome Powell, Supreme Court Signals: Fed A 'Uniquely Structured, Quasi-Private Entity'

Earlier this week, Tucker Carlson agreed with a guest on his show who questioned whether Donald Trump's foreign policy overlapped with his family's business ventures.
What Happened: On an episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32750830/hey-its-tucker-carlson-former-fox-anchor-tweets-first-episode-of-new-show-unleashes-fiery-critique-o">which Carlson started</a> on Elon Musk's Twitter, now rebranded as X after parting ways with Fox News, former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan pointed to the Trump Organization's expansion in the Gulf region, which coincided with new U.S. defense and AI deals, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5312419-tucker-carlson-on-trump-organization-middle-east-deals-seems-like-corruption/">reported</a> The Hill.
Trump's family business has signed agreements for: a luxury golf resort in Qatar with Qatari Diar, backed by the country's sovereign wealth fund, real estate developments in Riyadh and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and Trump International Hotel and golf course in Oman, according to the report.
"That stuff kind of worries me," Ryan added, to which Carlson replied, "Well, it seems like corruption, yeah."

Why It's Important: The overlap between Trump's public policy and his private business dealings is reviving old concerns about conflicts of interest. The White House previously dismissed these concerns, calling them "ridiculous," the report said.&nbsp;
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt earlier said Trump is following all conflict-of-interest laws, and the Trump Organization maintains that its assets are in a trust and not directly involved with foreign governments.
During Trump's trip to the Middle East, agreements <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45462404/trump-unveils-over-200-billion-worth-of-deals-with-uae-including-major-etihad-airways-commitment">exceeding $200 billion</a> were finalized between the U.S. and the UAE. Notably, Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and Etihad Airways were part of a $14.5 billion portion of these deals.
The visit also resulted in a landmark $1.2 trillion economic accord with Qatar, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45446924/trump-secures-12-trillion-qatar-deal-as-boeing-ge-land-record-orders">featured a historic $96 billion purchase</a> by Qatar Airways from Boeing and GE Aerospace.
Former Vice President Mike Pence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45487988/trumps-middle-east-trip-draws-rare-praise-from-mike-pence-as-very-successful-for-us-economy-amid-historic-boeing-deal-thatll-really-support-american-jobs">praised Trump&#8217;s Middle East trip</a> for its positive impact on the U.S. economy, despite previous political disagreements. Meanwhile, economist Peter Schiff warned that Qatar&#8217;s $200 billion deal with Boeing could lead to i<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/05/45427289/peter-schiff-warns-qatars-200-billion-boeing-deal-could-spike-us-inflation-interest-rates-says-treasury-sell-off-may-follow">ncreased U.S. inflation and interest rates</a>, potentially causing a Treasury sell-off.

Tucker Carlson Agrees — Trump Organization's Middle East Deals Seem 'Like Corruption'

Economist Peter Schiff took potshots at President Donald Trump&#8217;s exclusive dinner on Thursday with holders of his Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin.
What Happened: In an X post, Schiff said it should be &#8220;illegal&#8221; for a U.S. president to charge people to dine with him, in what plainly appeared to be a reference to Trump&#8217;s gala dinner with the top 220 investors in his meme coin.
&#8220;Campaign donations are fine. But&nbsp;not direct payments to the&nbsp;president&#8217;s&nbsp;personal account. Nor should a&nbsp;president sell White House tours&nbsp;and pocket the proceeds personally,&#8221; he said.
It&#8217;s worth mentioning that while the top 220 holders will dine with Trump at his private country club, the top 25 holders have been promised access to a VIP reception and White House tour, as well as limited-edition commemorative non-fungible tokens

The investment firm sold shares of the Jack Dorsey-led company through its ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) while acquiring shares of Baidu through the ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>).

Cathie Wood Dumps Block Shares As Bitcoin Hits Fresh All-Time High, Buys Baidu Amid Robot Car Buzz

Facing financial uncertainty can be overwhelming, especially when your job security is in question and you have significant debt. That's exactly the situation a federal worker named Gillian described in a recent episode of the "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-should-i-stop-paying-into-my-ira-to-get-out-of-debt">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast with Suze Orman.
Gillian, a federal employee stationed overseas, wrote in to ask for advice. She supports her spouse and child and is the sole earner in the household. Though she once felt secure in her government position, she now fears being laid off — a concern that's become more common among federal workers this year. Amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44277188/a-poverty-sentence-heres-why-some-say-losing-a-federal-job-is-worse-than-being-fired-in-the-private-sector">federal downsizing</a> and budget cuts under the Trump administration, workers — especially those based overseas — have grown increasingly worried about job stability.

</ul>
With a considerable amount of debt on her shoulders, Gillian wondered if she should stop contributing to her thrift savings plan and instead use that money — along with her emergency fund — to reduce what she owes.
Orman didn't hesitate to weigh in.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is the TSP, and Why Does It Matter?</h2>
Before diving into the advice, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45256709/approaching-retirement-suze-ormans-2025-plan-for-safe-high-earning-cash">Orman</a> clarified what the TSP is. It's the federal government's version of a 401(k), helping employees save for retirement through tax-advantaged contributions.
The question at hand was whether it made sense for Gillian to stop these contributions in order to focus entirely on debt repayment. KT, Orman's co-host, said, "I don&#8217;t think she should stop paying into the TSP, and I definitely would not use that emergency fund money."&nbsp;
Orman agreed — but added several important financial insights.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Debt Repayment vs. Long-Term Security</h2>
Orman emphasized that in Gillian's case, redirecting funds from her TSP and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44656837/build-your-retirement-portfolio-while-saving-for-emergencies-a-roth-ira-can-double-as-an-emergency-fund-is-that-true">emergency savings</a> still wouldn't make a significant dent in her total debt. In Gillan's own words, "Doing this won't even cover half of my debt," making the decision even clearer.&nbsp;
Orman shared a general rule of thumb: "When you owe more money than you are worth, you are essentially bankrupt." However, that doesn't mean liquidating all available funds is the best approach.
In fact, retirement accounts like the TSP, Roth IRA, and 401(k) are legally protected in the event of bankruptcy. That means even if the worst-case scenario happens — like losing a job or filing for bankruptcy — these funds would remain intact.&nbsp;
"Do not stop putting money in a place that's safe and sound," Orman advised.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Emergency Funds Are for Emergencies</h2>
As for tapping into the emergency fund, Orman was just as clear: Don't do it. The purpose of an emergency fund is to cover essential expenses in the case of income loss or other true emergencies — like, for instance, a layoff. Using it to chip away at debt, especially when it won't eliminate that debt, could leave Gillian exposed if her job situation worsens.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Takeaway</h2>
In short, Orman's advice to Gillian was to stay the course with retirement contributions and preserve her emergency fund. The debt remains a concern, but the protections and potential growth offered by the TSP are too valuable to give up — especially during uncertain times.
If you&#8217;re in a similar situation, it may be worth talking to a trusted financial advisor about how to balance debt repayment with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44459879/suze-orman-warns-the-absolute-worst-thing-that-you-can-be-doing-right-now-is-panic-because-it-hurts-long-term-security">long-term financial security</a>.

'I'm A Federal Worker Overseas In Fear Of Losing My Job – Should I Stop Paying Into My TSP And Pay Off Debt?' Suze Orman Weighs In

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Pizza Day is here again, reminding us of the first commercial use of the prized digital currency. The event, celebrated each year on May 22, has become immortalized and serves as an important reminder of the cryptocurrency&#8217;s humble beginnings.
What happened: In 2010, Florida-based software developer Laszlo Hanyecz accidentally gave the cryptocurrency world a date to remember when he paid 10,000 BTC (yes, you heard that right) for two Papa John&#8217;s pizzas.
Hanyecz <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0">said </a>on a Bitcoin forum that he &#8220;successfully traded&#8221; 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas.
According to the conversation on the forum, 1 Bitcoin was worth $0.0041 on the historical day, taking the total purchase amount to $41.&nbsp;
Fast forward to 2025, and the same stash is worth $1.10 billion, based on a per-unit price of $110,982.80, making the pizzas the most expensive ever.
What if Hanyecz had held onto his coins and instead used fiat currency to satisfy his pizza craving?

Well, he could have purchased a private island. And not just one, but several. For context, the Big Darby Island in the Bahamas was recently <a href="https://www.tribune242.com/news/2024/dec/17/govt-in-9m-tax-boost-as-sword-of-damocles-lifted/?news">sold </a>for $40 million.
But he'd still have plenty left. So he might as well consider buying a penthouse in the Manhattan neighborhood of New York.&nbsp;
Manhattan penthouses are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42803829/the-super-rich-go-crazy-for-new-yorks-luxury-real-estate-as-11-billion-changes-hands">exceptionally expensive</a>. Prices range from around $2 million to over $48 million, with some reaching upwards of $135 million.
Hanyecz could have also chosen to fund a space tourism trip for dozens of people (including me). SpaceX reportedly charged around $55 million per seat for flights to the International Space Station, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/05/science/axiom-space-station.html">according </a>to a New York Times report.
While we don&#8217;t know if Hanyecz is an art aficionado, he might have used some of his fortune to outbid at some of the world&#8217;s most prestigious art auctions.
The most expensive artwork ever sold at auction was Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s &#8220;Salvator Mundi,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/22/10/29325691/11-of-the-most-expensive-paintings-ever-sold-at-auction">which fetched $450 million</a> at Christie&#8217;s in New York in 2017.&nbsp;
Well, demands are boundless and luxuries plentiful. So, even a billion dollars might not be enough.
But one thing is certain—the legend of those two pizzas will keep reminding the cryptocurrency community about the importance of small beginnings.
Did you order your pies?

Bitcoin Pizza Day Turns 15: How 10,000 BTC Could Have Bought Private Islands, Manhattan Penthouses And Some Of The World's Most Extravagant Luxuries Today

The Trump administration terminated Harvard University&#8217;s ability to accept international students. This decision, announced on Thursday, affects current students who must transfer or risk losing their legal status.
What Happened: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the revocation of Harvard&#8217;s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification. Noem accused the university of &#8220;fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party,&#8221; reported Reuters.
Harvard, which&nbsp;enrolled nearly 6,800 international students&nbsp;in the 2024-2025 academic year, called the move illegal and retaliatory. The university stated it was committed to supporting its foreign students and was preparing guidance for those impacted.
The action is part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration against Harvard, which has been a target due to its hiring practices and alleged ideological leanings. The administration has also frozen&nbsp;$3 billion in federal grants&nbsp;to the university.
In a related matter, a federal judge ruled&nbsp;that the administration could not&nbsp;terminate the legal status of&nbsp;foreign students without proper procedures. It remains unclear how this ruling will impact the action against Harvard.

Why It Matters: The revocation of Harvard&#8217;s ability to enroll international students is the latest development in a series of confrontations between the Trump administration and the university. Earlier in April, the administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44804541/trump-administration-halts-2-2-billion-in-harvard-grants-after-university-says-dont-dictate-what-we-can-teach-or-who-we-admit">halted $2.2 billion in grants</a> to Harvard after the university refused to comply with demands to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and to screen international students for ideological concerns. This move put nearly $9 billion in federal funding at risk.
Additionally, President Donald Trump has been vocal about stripping Harvard of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45185889/trump-harvards-not-a-school-its-a-political-entity-that-should-be-taxed">tax-exempt status</a>, accusing the university of acting as a &#8220;political entity.&#8221;
Harvard <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44916659/harvard-sues-trump-administration-for-attempting-to-withhold-billions-in-federal-grants-over-alleged-antisemitism-response">filed a lawsuit</a> against the Trump administration in April, contesting the government&#8217;s attempts to withhold billions in research funding.

Trump Administration Revokes Harvard's Ability To Enroll International Students, Kristi Noem Alleges Coordination With Chinese Communist Party

A recent <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daveramsey/video/7490955718892440878">TikTok video</a> shared by personal finance expert Dave Ramsey features a caller in deep financial distress. The woman explains she owes $19,000 across 35 credit cards and is also carrying a $30,000 student loan balance. She and her husband earn $60,000 a year but live paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with minimum payments.
Ramsey didn't sugarcoat the solution. "Are you ready to endure some pain to get rid of this mess?" he asked.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Living Paycheck to Paycheck</h2>
The caller shared that she had started trying to pay off her credit cards, but each week felt like a cycle of covering the minimums and still falling behind. "It's just living paycheck to paycheck," she said.

"This money is owning you, you don't own it," he said.
His advice? Get serious, make a plan, and stick to it — even if it's uncomfortable at first.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Turning Point: Making a Plan</h2>
Once the caller and her husband confirmed they were both ready to commit to a change, Ramsey pointed them to a free budgeting tool: EveryDollar.com, which also has mobile and desktop versions.
He explained how using a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-zero-based-budgeting">zero-based budget</a> — where every dollar is assigned a purpose before it's spent — can help break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. "You're telling your money what to do instead of wondering where it went," he said.
Ramsey&#8217;s approach focuses on giving each dollar a job, whether it&#8217;s for essentials like groceries and housing, or for paying down debt. When people build their budgets this way, they can prioritize their most urgent goals — in this case, getting out from under 35 credit cards.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Budgeting 101: The Basics Behind the Advice</h2>
<a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/budgeting/how-to-make-a-budget">Ramsey Solutions</a> offers a five-step method for building a working budget:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>List your income. Include regular paychecks and any side hustle income.</li>
<li>List your expenses. Start with essentials like housing, food, utilities, and transportation.</li>
<li>Subtract expenses from income. Every dollar should be accounted for.</li>
<li>Track expenses all month long. Keep an eye on where your money actually goes.</li>
<li>Make a new budget before each month begins. Adjust as needed based on your financial reality.</li>
</ol>
By following this system, people can regain control of their finances — even when starting from a difficult place.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘You Can Do This'</h2>
Ramsey closed the call with encouragement. "When you get sick and tired of sick and tired, you're ready to change your life, kiddo. You can do it."
While climbing out of debt may require sacrifice and temporary discomfort, Ramsey emphasized that it&#8217;s possible with a plan and determination.
His broader message: A higher income alone won't fix poor money habits. Without a plan, even six-figure earners can end up broke. But with a budget — and a willingness to endure a little "pain" — people can work their way toward lasting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44616088/dave-ramsey-caller-tells-him-following-advice-to-pay-off-house-didnt-work-because-now-she-has-no">financial peace</a>.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

A new Seattle-based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45444616/capital-connect-crumbles-jpmorgans-175m-bet-on-startup-platform-ends-amidst-venture-capital-market-turmoil">startup</a>, Hearvana, is making waves in the audio technology industry. Founded by University of Washington computer science professor Shyam Gollakota and PhD student Malek Itani, Hearvana is developing superhuman hearing capabilities for everyday devices. These advancements are poised to be integrated into billions of earbuds, hearing aids, and smartphones, according to<a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/ai-startup-led-by-uw-computer-science-whiz-enables-superhuman-hearing-capabilities/"> GeekWire</a>.
The company is being incubated by the AI2 Incubator, part of the Allen Institute for AI, which was founded by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831264/microsoft-debuts-computer-use-tool-for-copilot-studio-ceo-satya-nadella-says-anyone-can-build-agents-that-take-action-on-the-ui-across-desktop-and-web-apps">Microsoft</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Paul Allen. The incubator was launched by AI2's founding CEO Oren Etzioni to support early-stage AI startups, according to the institute&#8217;s <a href="https://www.ai2incubator.com/team">website</a>. The company aims to use artificial intelligence to make hearing seamless, personalized, and radically more powerful for billions of users, GeekWire reports.

Gollakota told GeekWire that Hearvana is &#8220;creating AI breakthroughs that are shaping the future of sound,&#8221; adding that their &#8220;AI algorithms enable on-device superhuman hearing capabilities and will be part of billions of earbuds, hearing aids, and smartphones.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Sound Bubble That Lets You Choose What You Hear</h2>
Hearvana's technology focuses on real-time audio filtering, letting users choose what they want to hear while blocking out everything else. According to GeekWire, the company's AI can locate sound sources, understand their distance, and build what Gollakota and his team describe as a "sound bubble."
This innovation solves a pain point nearly everyone experiences, trying to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded event. The algorithms run directly on a device, meaning no data needs to be sent to the cloud, GeekWire reports.

Hearvana&#8217;s early research,<a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/11/241114161302.htm"> published</a> in November by Gollakota and Itani, demonstrated headphones that adjust dynamically to noise and user focus. The team believes this approach could soon set the standard in next-generation audio technology, aligning with the broader professional audiovisual market, which is projected to reach $422 billion globally by 2029, according to<a href="https://www.avixa.org/about-us/press-room/2024/08/21/pro-av-revenue-forecast-to-reach--422-billion-by-2029--according-to-new-research-from-avixa"> AVIXA&#8217;s 2024 Industry Outlook and Trends Analysis</a>.

Hearvana's founding team blends academic excellence with real-world traction. Gollakota is no stranger to startup success. According to GeekWire, he previously co-founded Sound Life Sciences, which developed smartphone-based breathing detection and was acquired by Google in 2022. He also co-founded Wavely Diagnostics, a smartphone app that detects ear infections.
The startup&#8217;s team brings together expertise from academia and industry. Itani, who previously interned at Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), worked on smart glasses during his time at the tech giant, GeekWire reports.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Loews Stock In The Last 5 Years

The U.S. economy faces a growing list of headwinds that could threaten growth and stability in 2025. Persistent tariff pressures, rising borrowing costs, low consumer confidence and the resumption of student loan payments each has the potential to slow growth and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45564489/trumps-big-tax-bill-clears-the-house-30-year-yields-jump-to-515-as-bond-market-freaks">disrupt economic stability.&nbsp;</a>
Here are 10 key downside risks Dr. Torsten Slok, chief economist for Apollo Global, <a href="https://www.apolloacademy.com/10-downside-risks-to-the-us-economic-outlook/">identified this week</a>. 
1. Moody's Downgrade Raises Borrowing Cost
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Last week, Moody's cut the U.S. long-term credit rating<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns"> from Aaa to Aa1</a>, which made borrowing more expensive for consumers and businesses and put pressure on spending and investment.</li>
</ul>
2. Weakening Housing Demand
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Higher mortgage rates are dampening <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45540541/5-treasury-yields-are-back-and-so-are-painful-mortgage-rates">demand for homes</a> and slowing down one of the U.S. economy's key growth engines.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

3. Tariffs Cutting into Corporate Earnings
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>President Donald Trump recently reduced many of the originally steep tariffs he announced on "Liberation Day," but the average tariff rate remains elevated. The higher levies are squeezing company profits, especially for firms reliant on imported goods and global supply chains.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
4. Trade Deal Uncertainty and Retaliation Risk
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Though most reciprocal tariffs have been "paused" and reduced to a baseline of 10% for 90 days to allow for negotiations, few permanent deals have been reached. China and the U.S. would have to agree on a more permanent solution soon as the pause is set to expire in mid-August.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
5. High Uncertainty Weakening Corporate Confidence
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Businesses are facing extreme uncertainty, making it difficult to plan and invest, which could slow economic activity. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said businesses are in &#8220;wait and see&#8221; mode and are postponing hiring, expansions and M&amp;A deals while<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44774273/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-expects-sp-500-growth-forecast-to-be-cut"> the future remains</a> uncertain. </li>
</ul>
&#8220;People have to adjust to this new environment,&#8221; Dimon said.&nbsp;
6. Consumer Spending Hit by Higher Prices
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Rising prices at retailers are causing consumers to cut back on spending. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon told analysts on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45473067/walmart-prices-will-rise-within-weeks-as-trump-tariffs-drive-up-costs-will-other-retailers-follow-suit">company's earnings call</a> on Thursday that the retailer will be raising prices on some items as a direct result of ongoing tariffs.&nbsp;</li>

7. Historically Weak Consumer Confidence
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Consumer sentiment is dropping drastically and raising concerns about future demand and economic resilience. The University of Michigan's May consumer survey showed that sentiment among American consumers has plunged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45470155/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-5-year-lows-as-inflation-fears-reach-1981-levels">to the lowest levels</a> since June 2020, while expectations for inflation surged to heights last seen in the early 1980s.</li>
</ul>
8. Lower Tourism
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A decline in visitor arrivals from key regions is negatively impacting airlines, hotels and restaurants, according to the Apollo economist.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
9. Student Loan Payments Restarting
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The end of the COVID-19 pandemic-era pause on student loan payments is expected to strain household budgets and reduce discretionary spending. The U.S. Department of Education resumed collections on defaulted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45012792/trump-administration-to-resume-collections-on-student-loans-5-million-borrowers-in-default">federal student loans</a> in May, and according to data from the DOE, more than five million borrowers are in default. </li>
</ul>
10. DOGE Government Worker Layoffs
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Layoffs of federal employees and contractors could lead to higher unemployment and reduced consumer spending, with ripple effects across the economy, according to Dr. Slok.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
