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>.

Bloomberg Reported Earlier, China Orders Halts to Boeing Jet Deliveries

Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood has offered a contrarian view on President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies, suggesting they could be the catalyst to end a three-year &#8220;rolling recession.&#8221;
What Happened: In her recent note, Wood explains that tariffs, which initially appeared as a damaging tax increase, might actually be a strategic &#8220;setup&#8221; for serious trade negotiations.
She believes Trump&#8217;s move to involve Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signals a shift towards lower tariffs and non-tariff barriers, a scenario she argues wouldn&#8217;t have been possible without the initial &#8220;shock therapy.&#8221;
Wood also underlined Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s support for resolving the long-standing trade barriers. Amid recent market volatility, Wood said that Ark Invest operates under the assumption that the administration aims for robust economic growth and a strong stock market leading up to the 2026 midterm elections.
Even before the tariff controversy, Wood anticipated strong growth in the latter half of 2025, predicting that the &#8220;last leg of a three-year rolling recession will result in negative Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for the first and second quarters.&#8221;
According to Wood, this slowdown will give the administration and the Federal Reserve &#8220;more degrees of freedom to stimulate than most investors have been expecting.&#8221;
Wood argues that the fear of tariffs exacerbating this slowdown will create a &#8220;clarion call&#8221; for tax cuts, deregulation, and lower interest rates, ultimately paving the way for economic recovery.

Citigroup, Bank Of America And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed almost no change in the overall fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Monday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 300 points during the session. Over the weekend, the White House announced a provisional exemption for smartphones and semiconductors from China's proposed 145% trade tariff. These items will instead face a 20% levy—linked to fentanyl-related enforcement—until sector-specific duties are finalized.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares rose 2.2%, while Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) shares gained around 4%. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) rose about 1% on Monday.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) posted better-than-expected earnings for its first quarter. M&amp;T Bank Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>) posted weaker-than-expected earnings for its first quarter.
Despite significant volatility last week, all three major averages recorded gains during the period. The S&amp;P 500 gained 5.7% to record its best week since November 2023, while the Nasdaq jumped 7.3%, notching its best week since November 2022. The Dow also jumped around 5% last week.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with real estate, utilities and consumer staples stocks recording biggest gains on Monday. However, consumer discretionary stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 312 points to 40,524.79 on Monday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.79% to 5,405.97, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.64% at 16,831.48 during Monday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) today.
At a current reading of 19.4, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 19.4.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Dow Surges Over 300 Points Ahead Of Earnings: Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Extreme Fear' Zone

Tom Lee, the Head of Research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, isn&#8217;t buying this narrative of &#8220;America in decline&#8221; or the &#8220;end of American exceptionalism&#8221; that is gaining steam in recent weeks.
What Happened: Lee said on Monday that he is not in the same camp as those who believe that &#8220;U.S. exceptionalism is over.&#8221; During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DwrFrnfaiY">interview</a> with CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box,&#8221; Lee was asked about the potential worst-case scenario involving a weakening dollar, rising yields, and foreign capital pulling out of U.S. assets.
Lee does not believe that this selling of U.S. Treasuries and dollars for other assets is sustainable, not unless &#8220;weaker dollar and higher yields suddenly lead to the best companies in the world being outside the U.S.&#8221;
&#8220;The best and most important companies in the world are American companies, they produce the best shareholder returns,&#8221; Lee adds, implying that U.S. assets will always be in demand, even if the treasuries and the dollar fall out of favor among foreign investors.
Lee cited the example of the S&amp;P 500 Index, tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), saying that, &#8220;40% of the returns of the S&amp;P comes from new companies every 10 years,&#8221; before asking, &#8220;Will the best new companies be coming from Europe instead of the U.S. because of the [weakened] dollar? I doubt it.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Lee has been a vocal critic of the tariffs, calling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44644765/tom-lee-predicts-a-market-rebound-after-april-9-as-absurd-tariffs-could-spur-potential-negotiations">the rates imposed</a> &#8220;absurd&#8221; and a &#8220;dark comedy&#8221; owing to their arbitrary nature and lack of any economic rationale.
Lee has, however, been optimistic about the market&#8217;s performance going forward, predicting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44685594/tom-lee-predicts-a-v-shaped-recovery-for-us-stocks-pins-hope-on-trump-put-its-going-to-take-a-little-time">&#8220;V-shaped recovery&#8221;</a> while admitting that it was going to &#8220;take a little time for the markets to regain some trust.&#8221;
Other leading banks and analysts, however, don&#8217;t <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44756751/full-spectrum-collapse-top-bank-rings-alarm-over-simultaneous-fall-of-us-assets">share the same optimism</a>, with Deutsche Bank AG saying that we are witnessing &#8220;a simultaneous collapse&#8221; with the markets having &#8220;lost faith in U.S. assets,&#8221; before calling it an &#8220;uncharted territory.&#8221;
French financial services company, Societe Generale SA, referred to Trump&#8217;s tariffs and the rise of China&#8217;s Deepseek as a &#8220;pause in American exceptionalism,&#8221; <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/stocks/SCGLY/pressreleases/31701278/tom-lee-asserts-trump-wants-stocks-to-rally-amid-tariff-turmoil/">reported</a> in The Globe and Mail early this month.

Earnings Scheduled For April 15, 2025

Federal Reserve Governor&nbsp;Christopher Waller&nbsp;predicts a brief inflation spike as a result&nbsp;of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs, comparing the situation to the contentious &#8220;tush push&#8221; football play.
What Happened: Waller expressed his views in a policy speech in St. Louis on Monday. He proposed two potential outcomes from the tariffs. In the event of larger, more persistent tariffs, Waller anticipates an initial inflation surge to a 4% to 5% range, which would eventually decrease as growth slows and unemployment increases. On the other hand, smaller tariffs would cause inflation to peak at around 3% before declining, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/14/fed-governor-waller-sees-tariff-inflation-as-transitory-in-tush-push-comparison.html">reported</a> CNBC.
Waller expects the Fed to reduce interest rates in either scenario, with the timing being the only difference. He stated,&nbsp;&#8220;Yes, I am saying that&nbsp;I expect that elevated inflation&nbsp;would be temporary, and &#8216;temporary&#8217;&nbsp;is another word for transitory.&#8221; He believes that the higher inflation caused by tariffs will be short-lived, despite the prolonged inflation surge that began in 2021. 
He referenced the Philadelphia Eagles' well-known "tush push" play in this scenario, which the team has successfully employed in short-yardage and goal-line situations.
Waller emphasized that Fed officials would be required to "remain flexible" in charting the future course.

Why It Matters: In March, the Federal Reserve held the fed funds rate steady at 4.25%-4.50% for the second time in a row, as policymakers continued to monitor inflation trends before considering any policy changes. The economy was expanding at a robust pace, and the labor market remained solid, but inflation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44403637/fed-holds-rates-while-growth-forecasts-slip-inflation-projections-rise">was somewhat </a>elevated.
However, despite back-to-back weaker-than-expected inflation reports in March, bond yields continued to rise, leading to speculation that a policy misalignment might soon force the Fed&#8217;s hand. The Producer Price Index, a key measure of wholesale prices, fell 0.4% month-over-month in March, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44762609/producer-inflation-sharply-drops-yet-treasury-yields-rise-heres-why-a-fed-rate-cut-in-may-could-be-back-on-the-table">marking the largest decline </a>since 2023. On a yearly basis, producer inflation slowed to 2.7%, well below economists&#8217; estimates of 3.3% and down from 3.2% in February.

Fed's Waller Warns Trump Tariffs Could Trigger Brief Inflation Spike, But That 'Would Be Temporary'

Texas Instruments Launches New Portfolio Of Automotive Lidar, Clock And Radar Chips

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed her significant stock purchases made just before and on the day of President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement to pause global tariffs. This announcement had a substantial impact on the stock market.
What Happened: Based on the information disclosed to the House, Greene bought stocks valued between $21,000 and $315,000 on April 8 and 9. On April 8, she also sold Treasury bills worth between $50,000 and $100,000, according to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Benzinga Government Trades tracker.</a>
Greene&#8217;s stock purchases included shares in several companies, such as&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which has since appreciated by approximately 5%. She also invested in other tech firms, energy companies like&nbsp;Devon Energy Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>), and pharmaceutical giant&nbsp;Merck &amp; Company&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>).
On April 8, Greene bought stocks in&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). These transactions occurred&nbsp;as government bond yields were&nbsp;on the rise amidst the tariff turmoil.
Here's a look at the stocks Greene purchased during the period:
<ul>
<li>Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>)</li>

Why It Matters: Greene&#8217;s stock trades have raised eyebrows, especially considering the timing of her purchases. The trades coincided with former President Trump&#8217;s tariff pause announcement, which led to a significant surge in the stock market. 
This has led to calls for an investigation into potential insider trading related to President Trump&#8217;s market communications before the tariff pause announcement. Key Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have expressed concerns about possible corruption. Schiff and Warren pointed out a post on Truth Social where Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44747573/adam-schiff-and-elizabeth-warren-call-for-investigation-into-possible-insider-trading-by-trump-allie"> encouraged buying stocks</a> just hours before the tariff pause announcement that sent markets soaring.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York&nbsp;urged a ban on stock trading by members of Congress following the revelation of Ms. Greene's investment activities. He told <a href="https://jeffries.house.gov/2025/04/14/leader-jeffries-we-are-going-to-hold-republicans-accountable-for-any-effort-to-dismantle-social-security/">MSNBC </a>on Monday, "We obviously have to continue to highlight why this is problematic."

Marjorie Taylor Greene Made Large Stock Purchases Ahead Of Trump's 90-Day Tariff Pause: Hakeem Jeffries Calls It 'Problematic'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reportedly stopped taking new orders of its U.S.-made Model S and Model X on its official Chinese website.
What happened: Amid the U.S.-China trade war, Elon Musk's EV giant hasn't given an exact reason for the company's decision to remove the models from the website, according to a Reuters report.
China imported 1,553 Model X cars and 311 Model S cars in 2024, according to a Chinese analyst mentioned in the report. Since the models are imported into China, the cars would cost significantly more to the consumers in China amid the CCP's decision to impose 125% tariffs on U.S. imports as retaliation for the Trump administration's 145% tariff on Chinese goods.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why it matters: Tesla's decision to remove the models from its Chinese website comes in when Musk's company is experiencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44802015/us-electric-vehicle-sales-up-11-in-q1-as-tesla-declines-the-winners-and-losers">a decline in sales</a> in the U.S. Despite the sales going down, the company still dominates the domestic EV sector.
Tesla properties and superchargers have also been a target of vandalism, largely due to the billionaire's support of right-wing political ideals. However, the company recently released a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44755221/tesla-unveils-new-cybertruck-long-range-trim-with-a-362-mile-range-and-reduced-features">cheaper trim level </a>of the Cybertruck, possibly to appeal to a wider audience.

Tesla recently revealed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44787364/tesla-deploys-unsupervised-fsd-at-giga-texas-to-move-cars-from-factory-to-lot">Unsupervised FSD capabilities</a> of its cars, which have logged in over 50,000 driverless miles between its two manufacturing units in California and Texas. Tesla has also teased the arrival of the driverless ride-hailing service Cybercab in Austin, Texas. However, that has been met with some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44444272/there-are-many-ways-to-fake-a-robotaxi-service-former-waymo-ceo-casts-doubt-on-teslas-upcoming-robotaxi-launch">doubt by experts</a>.
Price action: TSLA is currently trading for $252.35 on the NASDAQ, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
