President Donald Trump&nbsp;is set to visit the&nbsp;Federal Reserve&nbsp;on Thursday, as per the White House. This visit is seen as a direct escalation of Trump&#8217;s ongoing pressure on the Fed and its Chairman,&nbsp;Jerome Powell.
What Happened: The White House announced on Wednesday that Trump will be visiting&nbsp;the Federal Reserve on Thursday,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/24/trump-to-visit-federal-reserve-in-person-threat-fire-char-powell-.html?ref=rawdiary.com">CNBC</a>&nbsp;reported. This will be&nbsp;the first time in nearly&nbsp;20 years that a U.S. President has officially visited the central bank.
Traditionally, U.S. presidents have upheld the Federal Reserve&#8217;s independence, which is both legally and practically protected from political interference. However, Trump&#8217;s visit is viewed as a symbolic challenge to that independence, as he persists in criticizing Powell for not cutting interest rates.
Trump has repeatedly voiced his disapproval of Powell&#8217;s decision not to cut interest rates, even suggesting the idea of firing him. The President has openly discussed the possibility of removing Powell, despite legal uncertainties surrounding his authority to do so.
&#8220;I think he&#8217;s&nbsp;done a bad job, but&nbsp;he&#8217;s&nbsp;going to be out pretty&nbsp;soon anyway,&#8221;&nbsp;Trump said earlier this&nbsp;week at a White House&nbsp;event. However, Powell has stated that his firing is &#8220;not permitted under the law.&#8221;

Now He&#8217;s Banging His Head Over The Lifechanging Gains He Missed</a>
Why It Matters: The visit comes amid a series of events that have seen Trump ramp up pressure on Powell and the Fed. This includes Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;criticism of the Fed&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46542478/mohamed-el-erian-says-jerome-powell-should-resign-to-protect-feds-independence-as-trump-escalates-attacks-over-mission-creep">&#8220;mission creep&#8221;&nbsp;</a>and the effectiveness of its officials, as well as suggestions from notable figures like economist&nbsp;Mohamed El-Erian&nbsp;that Powell should consider resigning to protect the Fed&#8217;s autonomy.
Meanwhile, former Fed chairs&nbsp;Ben Bernanke&nbsp;and&nbsp;Janet Yellen&nbsp;have&nbsp;warned of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46537558/former-fed-chairs-ben-bernanke-janet-yellen-warn-trumps-pressure-on-powell-could-lead-to-inevitably-higher-inflation-and-economic-damage">long-term consequences</a>&nbsp;of Trump&#8217;s pressure on Powell, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the central bank&#8217;s independence.
Despite Trump&#8217;s pressure, some experts, such as LPL Financial&#8217;s Chief Economist&nbsp;Jeffrey Roach, have&nbsp;argued that the Fed&#8217;s current <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46569623/federal-reserve-rates-justified-despite-being-highest-among-g-10-peers-says-lpl-economist-as-trump-pressures-jerome-powell-to-exit">rates are justified</a>&nbsp;given the U.S. economic situation compared to its G-10 peers. On a previous occasion, Jerome Powell mentioned that the Fed is not lowering the rates due to Trump&#8217;s tariffs.

Trump To Visit Federal Reserve In First Presidential Trip In 20 Years, Raising Stakes For Jerome Powell

T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) announced a stellar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587855/t-mobile-stock-climbs-after-q2-results-crushed-growth-records">second quarter</a> for 2025, with President and CEO Mike Sievert declaring it the &#8220;greatest Q2 for growth ever in T-Mobile US&#8217;s storied history.&#8221;
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TMUS">TMUS stock here</a>.
What Happened: The Un-carrier delivered record-setting postpaid net additions and significant financial gains, further cementing its position as a market leader.
When compared to AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), T-Mobile continued to be the market share gainer in the telecom industry, adding more customers than AT&amp;T for 23 quarters in a row.

The company also surpassed its goal of achieving 20% household market share in smaller and rural areas by 2025, demonstrating strong penetration beyond urban centers.
Adding to its robust financial outlook, T-Mobile anticipates a substantial $1.5 billion cash tax benefit in 2026 stemming from the recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill, signed by President Donald Trump.
Executive Vice President and CFO Peter Osvaldik confirmed this benefit, stating it &#8220;will be deployed thoughtfully guided by our capital allocation philosophy.&#8221; This windfall provides incremental upside to the company&#8217;s previously laid out guidance.
Its Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA) growth exceeded 5%, the highest rate in eight years. This surge is partly due to customers increasingly opting for premium plans.
&#8220;Customers are loving our most premium tier within it more than ever. Selecting our new Experience Beyond plan at more than double the rate of Go5G Next just a year ago,&#8221; Sievert noted, highlighting a deliberate customer move towards higher-value offerings.
T-Mobile is also aggressively expanding its network, with plans to bring on nearly 4,000 greenfield sites this year and the UScellular acquisition set to close on Aug. 1st, expanding site coverage by one third and increasing capacity by 50% or more.

Japan's agreement to the terms of the U.S. trade deal signals a deeper economic crisis, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) emerging as a potential beneficiary of the chaos, The Kobeissi Letter said on Wednesday.
What happened: In an X post, the capital markets commentator implied that Japan accepted an unfavorable deal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46562556/trump-says-550-billion-trade-deal-with-japan-reached-that-will-create-thousands-of-jobs-there-has-never-been-anything-like-it">involving a $550 billion investment in the U.S</a>., with the latter receiving 90% of the profits.
"In order to agree to this ‘deal,' Japan&#8217;s economy must be far worse than most people expect," The Kobeissi Letter stated. "Japan is desperate."

Japan&#8217;s 10-year bond yields<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46587245/japan-bond-yields-trump-trade-deal"> surged to 1.59%</a> on Wednesday, a level not seen since 2008. Demand for the 40-year Japanese government bond offering was the weakest since 2011, triggering a selloff across the country&#8217;s yield curve.
Typically, rising bond yields suggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45603987/bitcoin-loves-rising-bond-yields-in-us-and-japan-market-commentator-thinks-so">expectations of higher inflation</a> and reduced confidence in the government&#8217;s ability to manage debt.
"Bitcoin and Gold have known this for a long time," The Kobeissi Letter said, implying that the apex cryptocurrency would act as a hedge against fiat debasement and economic instability.

The phenomenon occurred in the summer of 2024, disrupting capital markets across the globe.

These developments come in the wake of speculation that Japan&#8217;s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46587245/japan-bond-yields-trump-trade-deal">could resign after his party lost its majority</a> in Japan&#8217;s upper house over the weekend.

Japan Accepting Trump Trade Deal A Sign Of Desperation? Market Commentator Says Bitcoin And Gold Have Known This For A 'Long Time'

Institutional investors continue to offload stocks at a steady pace for the 10th time in 11 weeks, while retail investors remain unflinchingly bullish in their stance.
What Happened: On Wednesday, in a post on X, The Kobeissi Letter highlighted the stark divergence between institutional and retail sentiments in recent weeks. &#8220;Institutional investors are STILL selling to retail.&#8221;
Citing data from Bank of America Global Research, the post notes that last week, institutional investors sold $800 million in single stocks and ETFs, adding to the $2.4 billion in outflows recorded the prior week, and bringing the total to $8.5 billion over the past four weeks. &#8220;This marks their 10th week of selling out of the last 11,&#8221; it says.

In sharp contrast to this institutional selloff, retail investors have now been net buyers for 30 of the last 32 weeks. &#8220;Retail and hedge funds purchased +$1.2 billion and +$400 million, respectively,&#8221; it says, over the past four weeks.
&#8220;Wall Street vs Main Street continues,&#8221; the post concludes, underscoring continued appetite from smaller players and opportunistic funds, while the larger institutions head for the exit.

Why It Matters: Unfazed by trade, tariffs, and other related geopolitical tensions, retail investors plowed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/05/45524126/mags-qqq-spy-fly-off-the-shelves-unfazed-retail-buyers-pump-in-record-122b-while-wall-street-loses-nerve">a record $122 billion</a> into equity ETFs through May 2025 this year, even as institutional investors pulled out $25 billion during this same period. 
According to Fundstrat&#8217;s Tom Lee, institutional investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46260136/tom-lee-says-institutional-investors-hate-this-v-shaped-rally-with-7-trillion-on-sidelines-sees-3-drivers-for-more-gains">hate the &#8220;V-Shaped&#8221;</a> recovery the markets have made from their April lows. &#8220;I can tell you, our clients, institutional clients, remain very skeptical.

Solaris Energy Infrastructure Updates Q3 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance To $58M–$63M And Sets Q4 Outlook In Line With Same Range

The CEOs of&nbsp;JPMorgan&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and&nbsp;Bank of America&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) have reportedly been subpoenaed by U.S. lawmakers over their roles in the IPO of a Chinese battery company.
What Happened: The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has called on JPMorgan and Bank of America to provide documents concerning their involvement in the IPO of Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), a major supplier of batteries to global electric vehicle manufacturers, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/lawmakers-subpoena-jpmorgan-and-bofa-over-ipo-of-chinese-battery-startup-83f20c0d?mod=hp_lead_pos10">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal.
The committee, focused on the national security threat posed by China, had earlier cautioned the banks about the "serious regulatory, financial, and reputational&#8221; risks of participating in the IPO of a company the Department of Defense had flagged for its military affiliations.
Despite the warning, JPMorgan and Bank of America went ahead with underwriting CATL's IPO, which raised $5.2 billion in May through the listing and an overallotment option that was fully exercised.

Why It Matters: The IPO of CATL, which is a major player in the global electric vehicle battery market, was a significant event. The company&#8217;s shares&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45510669/tesla-supplier-catl-soars-125-in-46-billion-hong-kong-ipo">soared 12.5%</a>&nbsp;in their Hong Kong trading debut after raising $4.6 billion,&nbsp;making it the largest listing&nbsp;of the year. This IPO was a strong indication of market confidence in CATL, despite the ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.
This incident also comes amid growing concerns over national security implications of US firms&#8217; involvement with Chinese companies. Earlier this month, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) announced it would no longer use <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46507658/microsoft-ends-china-based-tech-support-for-pentagon-projects-amid-national-security-backlash">China-based engineers </a>to provide technical support for U.S. military cloud services, following backlash from Washington and a revealing ProPublica report.

Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey has clarified that a popular tax benefit he highlighted in a recent video was ultimately excluded from the final version of the legislation signed by President Donald Trump.
What Happened: In a video posted on July 16, Ramsey broke down the "Big Beautiful Bill" — a sweeping tax package signed into law on July 4, touting a wide range of deductions and reforms. Among them, he stated that Health Savings Account (HSA) funds could now be used to pay for gym memberships.
"That&#8217;s a cool one," Ramsey said in the clip, referring to the expanded HSA use. "I'm a big fan of the health savings accounts."
However, on Tuesday, Ramsey issued an update on X, saying that the provision was ultimately scrapped before the bill became law.
"Update: In this clip, we discussed a change in the Big Beautiful Bill Act that would allow people to use HSA funds to pay gym membership fees," he wrote. "However, while that provision was included in earlier versions of the bill, it was not included in the final version that was signed into law."

Dave Ramsey Says Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Dropped Health Savings Account Gym Membership Perk Before Final Signature

American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>) stock jumped 23.84% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, reaching $13.40 following the launch of a new advertising campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.
The surge adds to speculation that the apparel retailer could become the latest target in the ongoing meme stock phenomenon.
What Happened: The stock closed regular trading at $10.82, up 6.18% for the day, before spiking dramatically after hours. Year-to-date, shares remain down 36.84%.
American Eagle announced Wednesday its Fall 2025 campaign titled &#8220;Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,&#8221; featuring the globally recognized actress to promote the company&#8217;s position as the leading jeans brand for Generation Z consumers. The campaign marks a strategic return to the retailer&#8217;s denim heritage.
&#8220;This fall season, American Eagle is celebrating what makes our brand iconic – trendsetting denim that leads, never follows,&#8221; said Jennifer Foyle, President and Executive Creative Director for AE &amp; Aerie, in the company&#8217;s press release.
The campaign includes innovative marketing strategies such as 3D billboards and a presence on the Sphere&#8217;s Exosphere in Las Vegas. A limited-edition denim jacket inspired by Sweeney&#8217;s style will retail for $79.95 starting August 10.

Wedbush Securities' investor and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) bull Dan Ives has reiterated his bullish views on the automaker following its second-quarter earnings call.
Check out the current price of<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla"> TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: Appearing on CNBC's Closing Bell <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDTKzhTg4M">on</a> Wednesday, the investor was bullish on Tesla leading up to the earnings call, hailing Tesla's AI and Robotaxi efforts.
"It's the start of the AI future for Musk and Tesla. It's gonna be worth a trillion dollars alone to the valuation of Tesla," he said in the interview.
The investor then took to social media platform X on Wednesday after the Tesla earnings call. Ives called Elon Musk a "wartime CEO" again in his post, adding that Tesla's autonomous and robotics vision is starting "to take shape."
"Tesla and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) remain our 2 best physical AI plays over the next few years," Ives said in the post.

Why It Matters: Ives had earlier set a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46560027/tesla-q2-earnings-preview-will-robotaxis-ai-wartime-ceo-elon-musk-deliver">$500 price target</a> for Tesla in the run-up to the earnings call, as well as maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock.

Dan Ives Sees $1 Trillion Potential In Tesla's AI Ambitions, Calls Elon Musk's EV Giant 'Best Physical AI Play' Alongside Nvidia

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO, Elon Musk, warned that the company was entering a challenging period as federal EV credits wind down and tariff-related headwinds begin to mount. 
What Happened: During the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587882/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-and-earnings-fall-short-new-models-still-set-for-2025-2026">second quarter earnings</a> call on Wednesday, Musk said, &#8220;We probably could have a few rough quarters. I&#8217;m not saying that we will, but we could. Q4, Q1, maybe Q2,&#8221; referring to the fourth quarter of 2025, along with the first and second quarters of 2026. 
The company acknowledged the overlapping headwinds it is now facing during the call, starting with the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit for many of its models, towards the end of the current quarter.

In addition to regulatory changes, Tesla disclosed that the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have increased costs by approximately $300 million from the prior quarter. Two-thirds of this impact was seen in the company&#8217;s automotives business, and less in energy, according to the company&#8217;s CFO, Vaibhav Taneja.
Taneja says, &#8220;Given the latency in manufacturing and sales, the full impacts will come through in the following quarters. So costs will increase in the near term.&#8221;
Despite all these concerns, however, Musk remains optimistic, leaning on Tesla&#8217;s autonomy play. &#8220;Once you get to autonomy at scale in the second half of next year… I&#8217;d be surprised if Tesla&#8217;s economics are not very compelling,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: According to senior analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities, the axing of the EV tax credits would be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">a net positive</a> for Tesla. 
&#8220;While this is a clear negative for the EV industry at first look and would particularly hurt GM, Ford, Stellantis, and Rivian… on the flip side, we view this as a net bullish move for Tesla and Musk over time,&#8221; Ives said nearly a year ago, citing the latter&#8217;s scale relative to its peers. 
Tesla released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587882/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-and-earnings-fall-short-new-models-still-set-for-2025-2026">second quarter results</a> on Wednesday, reporting $22.5 billion in sales, an increase of 12% year-over-year, but falling short of consensus estimates at $22.8 billion. 
The company posted a profit of $0.40 per share, which again missed analyst consensus estimates at $0.42 per share during the quarter.
Price Action: Tesla shares were up 0.14% on Wednesday, trading at $332.56, but are down 5.51% after hours following the earnings release.

Elon Musk Says Tesla Could Face 'A Few Rough Quarters' As EV Incentives Expire And Trump Tariff Pressures Mount

President Donald Trump acknowledged Wednesday that he briefly considered using antitrust power to split up Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) before aides warned the move would be &#8220;very hard."
What Happened: "I said, ‘Look, we'll break this guy up,' before I learned the facts here," Trump told an AI summit crowd near the Capitol, according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-23/trump-weighed-nvidia-breakup-before-realizing-it-d-be-hard">report</a>. He added that he had "figured we could go in and sort of break them up a little bit, get them a little competition, and I found out it's not easy in that business."
&#8220;I said, ‘suppose that we put the greatest minds together and they work hand-in-hand for a couple of years.' He said, ‘no, it would take at least ten years to catch him if he ran Nvidia totally incompetently from now on.' So I said, ‘all right, let's go on to the next one,'" Trump added. "And then I got to know Jensen, and now I see why.&#8221;

It is worth noting that the DOJ under the Biden administration had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40697462/nvidia-receives-doj-subpoena-in-antitrust-investigation-what-to-know">launched an antitrust probe</a> into Nvidia Corp. in 2024.

Trump then turned conciliatory, singling out chief executive Jensen Huang, seated in the audience, with a thumbs‑up, "What a job you've done."
Why It Matters: The two met at the White House this month shortly before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46407517/nvidia-resumes-h20-shipments-to-china-as-jensen-huang-meets-trump-beijing-officials-fully-compliant-rtx-pro-aims-to-bridge-ai-cold-war">administration cleared Nvidia</a> to resume selling its H20 AI chips to China under a new trade truce.
The remarks came as Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46593182/trump-signs-new-executive-orders-to-fast-track-ai-dominance-we-will-be-unstoppable-as-a-nation">rolled out an AI Action Plan</a>, a package of executive orders and legislative proposals aimed at loosening regulations, expanding exports and accelerating data‑center construction to win the AI race against Beijing. 
The blueprint reverses several Biden‑era chip‑export curbs and follows a May proposal to scrap tiered licensing rules for advanced semiconductors.
Price Action: NVDA stock is trading higher by 2.25% to $170.78 at market close on Wednesday. The stock was up 1.24% in after-market hours.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Nvidia demonstrates a strong profile for growth and momentum, but scores very poorly on value. The company boasts an exceptional Growth score of 98.70 and a strong Momentum score of 85.67. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Check here to find out how the stock fares against its peers</a>.

Trump Wanted To Break Up Nvidia Before He 'Learned The Facts' — He Later Found Out It's 'Not Easy'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk just shared some ambitious targets for the electric vehicle giant during Wednesday's second-quarter earnings call with investors.
Check out the current price of<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla"> TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: "We'll probably have autonomous ride hailing in probably half the population of the U.S. by the end of the year," Musk said at the earnings call on Wednesday.
He added that any such plans would be subject to regulatory approval. "We are being very cautious. We don't wanna take any chances," Musk said.
He also shared that the number of vehicles deployed as well as the serviceable area for Robotaxis would increase at a "hyperexponential rate" soon. Tesla will also target more cities for Robotaxis in the U.S., with approvals pending in Phoenix as well as Florida, the company said.
The billionaire also highlighted that Tesla was working closely with the regulators in the Netherlands for Full Self-Driving (FSD) approval, adding that the company would target the EU next and was working to get FSD unblocked in China.
As far as the Optimus robots are concerned, the company plans to release the 3rd generation model soon. "It's gonna probably be prototypes of Optimus three, end of this year and then scale production next year," Musk said.
He also said the company would try to get to an annual production target of a million units "as fast as it's humanly possible," but predicts a 5-year target of 100,000 units produced annually.
Why It Matters: The announcements come as Tesla released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587882/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-and-earnings-fall-short-new-models-still-set-for-2025-2026">second-quarter of 2025 results</a> at the earnings call, with the revenue down to $22.5 billion, a 12% YoY decline for the company.
Tesla had earlier released delivery data for the second quarter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46221375/tesla-stock-jumps-on-strong-q2-deliveries">recording 384,212 deliveries</a>, beating analyst expectations. However, Tesla's sales have been dwindling, with a 12% decline in the U.S. and a 21% decline in California for the second quarter.
This coincides with Tesla also releasing its vehicle safety report for the second quarter, recording over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46572391/elon-musks-tesla-recorded-one-crash-every-6-69-million-miles-driven-ev-maker-says-ahead-of-q2-earnings">6.69 million miles driven</a> per crash when the company's Autopilot feature is toggled on.
