The Federal Court&#8217;s decision to strike down President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs could have a widespread effect on the economy, stock market and individual companies, which were starting to settle with the idea of higher duties.
What Happened: Considering the same level of imports from 2024, the Kobeissi Letter has calculated a rough amount of $10 billion in tariff revenue that the U.S. must have collected since April 2, so far.
This includes the 10% baseline tariff on all countries as well as the higher rates imposed on select countries.
Thus, if the Federal Court orders are upheld despite the Trump administration&#8217;s appeal, the government would have to refund an amount of around $10 billion to its trading partners.
However, any judgment via the appeal process could come by mid-to-late June 2025, predicts Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at Bear Traps Report.
&#8220;If they are granted the stay, they get to keep collecting the tariffs during the appeal process, says Shapiro and &#8220;If not, they are kinda screwed on all subsequent negotiations with trading partners and will have that huge hole in the budget process that was meant to help pay for tax cuts.&#8221;
Additionally, in another X post, he explains that the appeal process will induce more uncertainty, which already existed because of the tariff regulations and the tax bills. This will eventually impact corporate strategy, as there would be no clarity.
&#8220;We can assume all trade negotiations and deals are off the table and uncertainty is back front and center. Corporates are really gonna sit on their hands now,&#8221; he said.

Trump's Tariff Refund Could Cost US $10 Billion With 2% Month-End Rebalance Impact On Equities In Case Of An Appeal: 'Uncertainty Is Back Front And Center'

President Donald Trump has been dealt a significant blow to his trade policies, with a federal court ruling against his authority to impose global tariffs. However, the president is likely to find a workaround to this setback.
What Happened: Goldman Sachs economists believe that the court&#8217;s decision will only be a temporary obstacle, as the Trump administration has other legal ways of imposing tariffs. These include Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, Section 301 investigations and Section 338 of the Trade Act of 1930, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/29/trump-expected-to-find-a-workaround-after-trade-court-blocks-tariffs.html">reported</a> CNBC.
Section 122 allows the administration to swiftly impose tariffs—up to 15%—without a formal investigation, offering a quick workaround to court obstacles. However, Goldman analysts note the measure would expire after 150 days unless Congress intervenes.
Meanwhile, Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos may be expanded to other sectors, while Section 338 permits the president to impose up to 50% tariffs on imports from countries that discriminate against the U.S.
The White House could shift its focus from targeting specific countries to targeting industries instead — an approach that rests on more solid legal footing, as per Goldman Sachs.
Steven Blitz, TS Lombard&#8216;s chief U.S. economist, opined, "The first thing he will probably do is an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court … wanting to get a ruling from them that basically says you can keep these tariffs in place while the appeals process runs through."
Speaking about the Trump Administration&#8217;s appeal within minutes, Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid said a note, "We should say at the outset that this is hardly the end of this story,&#8221; reported Fortune.

Why It Matters: The court&#8217;s ruling could have a significant impact on the administration&#8217;s trade strategies. The decision, delivered by the U.S. Court of International Trade, could potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report">halt </a>the administration&#8217;s trade war efforts.
Legal experts and economists have supported the court&#8217;s decision stating that the President was wrong to claim a virtually unlimited power to impose tariffs. However, some economists in the past stated that Trump tariffs are &#8216;addictive&#8217; and could remain in place even if the Democrats come <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45556999/addictive-trump-tariffs-are-here-to-stay-even-if-democrats-come-back-to-power-says-wharton-professor">back to power</a> as they may not want to discontinue the lucrative revenue stream. 
Meanwhile, China has already responded to the court&#8217;s decision, calling on the United States to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45664337/china-tells-us-to-entirely-revoke-wrongful-unilateral-tariffs-after-court-blocks-trumps-liberation-day-levies">entirely withdraw</a> the unilateral tariff measures that the court blocked.
Despite the setback, Trump is expected to find a way around the court&#8217;s ruling, potentially using other legal means to impose tariffs. The market reaction to the ruling has been mixed, with equity&nbsp;markets around the world broadly&nbsp;rising, while the reaction in Europe has been more muted.
During Thursday&#8217;s pre-market, The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and  Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose 1.06% and 1.55%, respectively.

'Hardly The End Of This Story:' Trump Has Several Legal Options To Maintain Tariffs Despite Federal Court Ruling, Experts Say

U.S. stock futures jumped on Thursday after ending lower on Wednesday. Futures of major benchmark indices rose over 1% in premarket.
A federal court has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report"> invalidated global tariffs</a> enacted by President Donald Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a move that could reshape future U.S. trade policy. 
The U.S. Court of International Trade&#8217;s decision challenged the extensive tariff authority previously wielded by the Trump administration and may impact ongoing trade strategies.
A three-judge panel, with appointees from the Reagan, Obama, and Trump eras, ruled that the IEEPA doesn&#8217;t give the president unlimited power to impose tariffs.
The Trump administration filed an appeal against the ruling in minutes, according to a Reuters report.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.52% and the two-year bond was at 4.03%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After the Federal Court struck down Trump&#8217;s tariffs, Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, said that &#8220;Without tariff revenues, there is a big beautiful hole in the big beautiful budget bill.&#8221;
This implied the administration&#8217;s promise to fund the deficit created by the tax bill through tariff revenue and the Department of Government Efficiency savings.
Shapiro&#8217;s post highlights a budget crisis that could be triggered by the removal of tariff revenue.

According to him, despite the seemingly extreme market optimism, the perspective from professionals analyzing data from the ground up painted a far more subdued picture.
He explained that aggressive market pricing stands in stark contrast to the pessimistic views held by bottom-up analysts, companies, and economists.
Elliott highlighted in an X thread that corporate earnings revisions for U.S. large-cap companies have notably collapsed, reaching their weakest point since the COVID-19 pandemic. Global earnings revisions also remain quite subdued, despite a marginal recent uptick in negativity.
Projections for 2025 earnings growth, which are typically skewed positively until just before the period, are currently penciled in at a mere 7%.

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher After Federal Court Blocks Trump's Tariffs: 'Without Tariff Revenues, There Is A Big Beautiful Hole In The Big Beautiful Budget Bill,' Says Expert

The digital asset landscape is experiencing a significant surge, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) exchange-traded funds emerging as a pivotal force driving institutional adoption.
What Happened: David LaVall, the global head of ETFs at Grayscale Investments, told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga </a>that the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs at the beginning of 2024 marked an &#8220;incredible&#8221; inflection point, drawing in a substantial number of institutional players.
&#8220;As we&#8217;re a little bit over a year, what we are looking at is some of the largest institutions in the form of wealth managers, firehouse platforms looking to figure out how they exactly incorporate digital assets into their franchises,&#8221; LaVall stated.
He emphasized that the demand is coming directly from investors, &#8220;Investors are asking for it, this is a unique opportunity where the democratization of an asset class, which is what ETFs have done historically, is happening for digital assets.&#8221;
LaVall highlighted the strong appeal of the robust, institutional-grade infrastructure now available for digital asset investments. &#8220;When they come and they talk to us they&#8217;re very pleased to see the infrastructure that is institutional grade,&#8221; he added.
However, he also highlighted that Bitcoin may not belong in every portfolio.
&#8220;We are not here to say that Bitcoin belongs in every single client&#8217;s portfolio, but we mean to say that you need to educate yourself, you need to partner with a crypto expert,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: The rise of Bitcoin ETFs has provided traditional investors with a regulated and accessible pathway into the cryptocurrency market.
Grayscale&#8217;s offerings, such as the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTC#NYSE">BTC</a>), have been key players in this institutional shift.
GBTC, which converted to a spot Bitcoin ETF in January 2024, has seen significant activity, reflecting both the enthusiasm and some initial profit-taking from long-term holders.
It was up 12.25% on a year-to-date basis and 42.60% over the last year.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF, launched more recently, was up 12.91% on a year-to-date basis and 68.32% since its inception in July 20204.

Bitcoin ETFs Gain Momentum Amid Digital Asset Boom: 'Investors Are Asking For It' And Institutions Want To 'Incorporate Digital Assets,' Says Grayscale

C3.ai Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AI#NYSE">AI</a>) said that it was positioning itself to tap the $47 billion growing market of AI agents by 2030. The company also highlighted key achievements that were made in collaboration with its &#8220;army of partners.&#8221;
What Happened: The enterprise AI application pure-play announced strong fourth-quarter and full fiscal year 2025 results, revealing its Agentic AI solutions business is already annualizing at an impressive $60 million in recurring revenue.
Speaking during the company&#8217;s fourth quarter earnings call, Chairman and CEO Tom Siebel expressed strong confidence in C3.ai&#8217;s advantageous position.
&#8220;We have today, I think, over 100 Agentic AI solutions deployed out there in defense, in intelligence, in state government, in local government, in manufacturing, in oil and gas, in paper and pulp, and this is a large and rapidly growing business,&#8221; Siebel stated.
He added, &#8220;As of the fourth quarter, this is about a $60 million ARR business. We have, depending on how you count, someplace between 20 and 100 Agentic AI solutions out there in production, in the hands of happy customers.&#8221;
Siebel also said that the company was setting its sights squarely on the burgeoning Agentic AI market, a segment projected to reach a staggering $47.1 billion by 2030, according to Gartner. &#8220;We are well positioned to capitalize on this trend through our production ready solutions,&#8221; he said.
Furthermore, C3.ai highlighted its unique market position, with Siebel stating, &#8220;We&#8217;re the only enterprise AI application pure play that&#8217;s out there. We&#8217;re selling, I think, today in over 600 accounts as of today that we&#8217;re jointly selling with Microsoft.&#8221;
Citing its &#8220;army of partners,&#8221; Siebel highlighted the growth it has achieved because of them.
The robust partner ecosystem, including deepened alliances with Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure, Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS, Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud, McKinsey&#8216;s QuantumBlack, and a new strategic alliance with PwC, collectively drove 73% of agreements in the past year.

Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657936/c3-ai-stock-jumps-after-q4-results-top-estimates">C3.AI beat analyst estimates</a> on both the top and bottom lines for the fourth quarter.

The company expects first-quarter revenue in the range of $100 million to $109 million, versus the estimates of $105 million. Its fiscal-year 2026 revenue is in the range of $447.5 million to $484.5 million, versus estimates of $467.19 million.
C3.ai shares dropped 3.76% on Wednesday and rose 12.42% in after-hours. It was 33.60% lower on a year-to-date basis and down 3.76% over a year.

C3.ai Eyes $47 Billion Agentic AI Market By 2030 With $60 Million ARR: 'We Are Well Positioned To Capitalize,' Says CEO

After reporting a better-than-expected first quarter, American lifestyle retailer Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) management hinted at absorbing the tariff impact and announced plans to open 100 new &#8220;physical experiences&#8221; in 2025.
What Happened: Company CEO Fran Horowitz highlighted during the earnings call that the firm&#8217;s global supply chain and sourcing teams are working hard to drive efficiency across the supply chain.
&#8220;All of this work will have clear impact and, based on our current assumptions on tariffs, we are not planning broad-based ticket increases,&#8221; said Horowitz, hinting at tariff absorption without any price hikes.
The CFO, Robert Ball, also highlighted that the company was looking to mitigate its average unit retail price to avoid price increases.
&#8220;For AUR specifically, we are currently assuming no AUR mitigation in our outlook as we do not anticipate broad-based ticket price increases,&#8221; he said.
Adding that, &#8220;Net of expected mitigation efforts, the assumed tariffs carry a cost impact of around $50 million for 2025, impacting our full year operating margin outlook by 100 basis points.&#8221;
Furthermore, Horowitz highlighted that they expect to add 100 new &#8220;physical experiences&#8221; on the store&#8217;s front.
Ball added, &#8220;We expect to deliver around 100 new experiences, including 60 new stores and 40 right-sizes or remodels. We also expect to be net store openers, with our 60 new stores outpacing around 20 anticipated closures.&#8221;

Abercrombie & Fitch Absorbs Tariff Impact, No Price Hike Despite $50 Million Cost: Plans To Open 100 New 'Physical Experiences' In 2025

Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) management continued to place its bets on the multitrillion-dollar opportunity arising from the digital labor revolution during its first-quarter earnings call on Wednesday.
What Happened: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says that the &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43999577/salesforce-aims-beyond-crm-bets-big-on-digital-labor-revolution-as-ceo-predicts-up-to-12-trillion-market">digital labor revolution</a>&#8221; is a transformative shift in the way work is done, driven by the rise of AI-powered digital workers or agents. 
After talking about it in its fourth quarter earnings call, Benioff stated during the recent fourth quarter call that &#8220;We are now just very well positioned to take advantage of this multitrillion-dollar opportunity in AI and enterprise software and digital labor&#8221;
CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer appreciated Salesforce even as it closed lower on Thursday. He was concerned about the market disliking the stock despite &#8220;exciting things they are doing.&#8221;

Salesforce is actively embracing digital labor internally and offering it as a core product to customers, primarily through its Agentforce platform.
Internally, Salesforce is using &#8220;digital labor&#8221; for customer support, sales operations, and things like making notes for meetings and summarizing Slack channels.
Salesforce is also enabling its customers to adopt digital labor in various ways:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Finnair is automating its customer service using Agentforce to manage 12 million passengers.</li>
<li>Falabella is deploying Agentforce on WhatsApp to handle order inquiries.</li>
<li>OpenTable is deploying Agentforce across restaurants, employees, and consumers.</li>
<li>PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) is building an &#8220;agentic layer&#8221; around its vast operations using Salesforce&#8217;s Data Cloud and multiple clouds.</li>
<li>Grupo Global boosted its retention rate by 22% and drove revenue upgrades, cross-selling, and converted non-subscribers with Agentforce.</li>

Salesforce Declares 'Multitrillion Dollar Opportunity' With Digital Labor Revolution: Jim Cramer Says CRM Is Doing 'Exciting Things'

After a sharp Tuesday rally fueled by optimism over improved U.S.-EU trade ties, Wall Street stalled midweek as rising Treasury yields reasserted pressure ahead of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&#8217;s earnings report and the release of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve"> key Federal Reserve minutes.</a>
Major U.S. stock indexes paused on Wednesday, digesting recent gains as yields on longer-term Treasury bonds resumed their climb. The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2% to 5,900 points by midday in New York, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 held flat. Small-cap stocks underperformed sharply, with the Russell 2000 down 0.8%.
Sector performance was broadly negative, with 9 of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors trading lower. Technology and communication services were the only sectors managing to avoid losses. 
All eyes are on Nvidia, which is set to report earnings after Wednesday's closing bell. Wall Street expects earnings per share of 88 cents and revenue of $43.2 billion, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> estimates.
Beyond the headline figures, investors will be closely watching two key aspects: the impact of the U.S. export ban on the H20 chips destined for China and the forward guidance. CEO Jensen Huang already said the company could face a $5 billion annual earnings hit due to export restrictions, making this quarter&#8217;s outlook pivotal for market sentiment.
The Federal Reserve's minutes from its May meeting will also be released. The Federal Open Market Committee left rates unchanged in the 4.25%-4.50% range. Chair Jerome Powell signaled little urgency to cut rates, citing inflation risks partly tied to newly proposed trade tariffs.
Markets will parse the minutes for hints on the Fed's timeline for easing monetary policy, particularly as inflation data remains stubbornly elevated.
After a brief relief, bond markets came under renewed pressure. The yield on the 30-year Treasury note climbed 5 basis points to 5%, while the 10-year yield rose to 4.5%. Investors remain concerned about the trajectory of U.S. fiscal policy, with swelling budget deficits raising doubts about long-term debt sustainability.
The U.S. dollar rallied for a second straight session, decoupling from other U.S. assets. Meanwhile, gold slipped 0.2%, dipping below $3,300 per ounce. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 2%, trading near $107,000 as speculative appetite in cryptocurrencies waned.

Wall Street Stalls As Treasury Yields Climb Again Ahead Of Nvidia Earnings, Fed Minutes: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

The financial markets are signaling a remarkably bullish outlook, with both stock and bond markets fully embracing a &#8220;run it hot&#8221; trade. However, this aggressive market pricing stands in stark contrast to the pessimistic views held by bottom-up analysts, companies, and economists, according to a recent analysis by Bob Elliott, CIO at Unlimited Funds.
What Happened: Elliott, in a detailed X thread, highlights this unprecedented &#8220;divergence&#8221; which he has &#8220;never seen&#8221; in his professional career outside of typical cyclical bottoms.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Asset markets are pricing in one of the best possible outcomes ahead while those folks looking bottoms up are expecting a notable deceleration ahead. That&#39;s a divergence I&#39;ve never seen in professional career outside of cyclical bottoms (which occur for understandable reasons).
&mdash; Bob Elliott (@BobEUnlimited) <a href="https://twitter.com/BobEUnlimited/status/1927666810200940786?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 28, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Following Tuesday&#8217;s surge in the equity market, market-based pricing of growth expectations has almost entirely recovered its earlier drop this year, now sitting just a few points off highs.
As highlighted by Elliott, this sentiment is reflected in large-cap 12-month <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45635906/sp-500s-expensive-valuation-combined-with-all-time-high-household-holdings-a-look-at-where-us-stock-market-stands">forward price-to-earnings ratios</a>, which are back near all-time highs at 21x.
Concurrently, long-dated real yields have reached their post-COVID cycle highs, and term premiums on closer-in maturities are also approaching their cycle peaks.
Despite this seemingly extreme market optimism, the perspective from professionals analyzing data from the ground up paints a far more subdued picture. Economists are forecasting softer growth for the next couple of years.
Corporate earnings revisions for U.S. large-cap companies have notably collapsed, reaching their weakest point since the COVID-19 pandemic. Global earnings revisions also remain quite subdued, despite a marginal recent uptick in negativity.
Projections for 2025 earnings growth, which are typically skewed positively until just before the period, are currently penciled in at a mere 7%.

Why It Matters: According to Elliott, either bottom-up analysts, scrutinizing incoming data, are taking an excessively pessimistic stance, or they are accurate, implying the markets are &#8220;wildly offside.&#8221;
For macro investors, he suggests, &#8220;making a call on which is right will likely be the make or break trade for the rest of &#8217;25.&#8221;
Price Action: The S&amp;P 500 has turned positive for the year, up 0.90% year-to-date, though it remains 3.67% below its all-time high of 6,147.43.
The Nasdaq 100 is also up for the year by 2.09%, but sits 3.63% off its record of 22,222.61. In contrast, the Dow Jones is still down 0.11% year-to-date and 6.06% from its 52-week high of 45,073.63.

Stock Market Is Pricing A Never-Before-Seen 'Divergence' As Equities And Bonds 'Run It Hot' Amid Gloomy Outlook By Bottom-Up Analysts

U.S. stock futures were trading below the flatline on Wednesday after rallying on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices declined in premarket.
Investors will eye the technology bellwether Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) first-quarter earnings, which will be announced after the market closes.
The S&amp;P 500 broke a four-day losing streak on Tuesday as the markets opened after a long weekend following Memorial Day.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.47% and the two-year bond was at 3.96%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, explained in his note that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45637914/jurrien-timmer-says-cyclical-bull-market-likely-over-in-feb-2025-expects-rangebound-scenario-modest-bear-market-is-now-underway">market was rangebound</a> and lower and upper boundaries for the market have been set. 
He highlighted that stocks were down 20% and they have recovered since, "That suggests that while the lower boundary for this market correction may have been established, so has the upper boundary."
"All this puts me firmly in the trading range camp in terms of what the next 6-12 months will bring. I suspect that this range might be defined by the April low of 4835 as the lower boundary, and the recent highs of 6000 as the upper boundary," he explained.
If Timmer&#8217;s range-bound market forecast holds, the cyclical bull market that began in October 2022 likely concluded in February 2025, after 30 months.
He added that "a new modest bear market is now underway," saying, "Bear markets consist of both a price and time element, and if this one lasts 6-12 months it would meet both conditions."
Meanwhile, Fabio Bassi, JPMorgan&#8217;s head of cross-asset strategy, also told CNBC that the S&amp;P 500 could &#8220;remain rangebound, with limited short-term upside.&#8221; &#8212; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/dont-expect-the-market-to-go-anywhere-this-summer-says-jpmorgan.html" title="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/dont-expect-the-market-to-go-anywhere-this-summer-says-jpmorgan.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/dont-expect-the-market-to-go-anywhere-this-summer-says-jpmorgan.html</a>
&#8220;The rally to our bull case scenario of 5,800 for S&amp;P 500 has played out, but from here we expect a consolidation and range-bound dynamic," Bassi explained.
Meanwhile, Ed Yardeni said in his note that &#8220;The widely feared global sovereign debt crisis has been postponed for another day.&#8221;
The yields on super-long Japanese government bonds (JGBs) fell sharply on Tuesday after Reuters reported that the country&#8217;s finance ministry might issue fewer of these bonds.
He explained that this &#8220;helped to bring down the US 10-year Treasury yield from 4.51% on Friday to 4.46% (On Tuesday).&#8221;

US Stocks Likely To Open Lower Ahead Of Nvidia's Q1 Earnings: 'A New Modest Bear Market Is Now Underway,' Says Expert

After the stock market has recovered from the bear market territory following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45367206/sp-500-rallies-over-3-on-us-china-90-day-tariff-truce-but-experts-warn-it-doesnt-guarantee-a-complete-resolution-of-the-trade-war">tariff pauses</a> and trade deals, experts at Fidelity Investments and JPMorgan expect it to stay rangebound for 2025.
What Happened: After a few deals and pauses were announced in April, Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, explained in his note that the lower and upper boundaries for the market have been set.
He highlighted that stocks were down 20% and they have recovered since, &#8220;That suggests that while the lower boundary for this market correction may have been established, so has the upper boundary.&#8221;
&#8220;All this puts me firmly in the trading range camp in terms of what the next 6-12 months will bring. I suspect that this range might be defined by the April low of 4835 as the lower boundary, and the recent highs of 6000 as the upper boundary,&#8221; he explained.

"The rally to our bull case scenario of 5,800 for S&amp;P 500 has played out, but from here we expect a consolidation and range-bound dynamic,&#8221; Bassi explained.
Timmer also underscored that if the range-bound market forecast stands true, the cyclical bull market that started in October 2022 may have already ended in February 2025, lasting for 30 months.
He added that &#8220;a new modest bear market is now underway,&#8221; saying, &#8220;Bear markets consist of both a price and time element, and if this one lasts 6-12 months it would meet both conditions.&#8221;

Jurrien Timmer Says Cyclical Bull Market Likely Over In Feb 2025, Expects Rangebound Scenario: 'Modest Bear Market Is Now Underway'

Chinese robotics company, Unitree, sold 23,700 robot dogs or quadrupeds last year, and an ARK Invest analyst explains how these fleets could provide strategically valuable data for humanoid robot programs, thus putting China ahead of the U.S. in this arena.
What Happened: Brett Winton, the chief futurist at ARK Invest, highlights a strategic gap in U.S. humanoid robot programs that could affect companies like Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Figure AI, and Apptronik Inc.
According to him, the sale of these quadrupeds or robot dogs provides a data advantage to the seller to learn more about the bipedal or humanoid robot&#8217;s behavior on the road.
&#8220;This is conditioned on the idea that you can release quadrupeds at a lower price point and sell in a larger volume (than you can vehicles), so you could get a data domain that is a closer match to bipedal,&#8221; he explains.
He highlights that the data could help the humanoid robots to navigate in buildings, narrow walkways, and uneven terrain.
&#8220;Given the choice a humanoid AI team would almost certainly prefer data from 3 million robospots than 3 million robotaxis (though a mix would be even better),&#8221; stated Winton.
He explains this by highlighting that the Chinese Unitree Robotics sold 23,700 units in 2024, priced at $2,700; however, the U.S.-based Boston Dynamics' Spot is priced at $74,500.
Thus, this enables the Chinese firm to have higher sales volumes and more real-world data collection, which Winton argues is more valuable for training humanoid AI.
&#8220;Quadruped fleets should provide strategically valuable data for humanoid robot programs. (A hole in Tesla, Figure, and Apptronik's portfolio),&#8221; he adds.

Meanwhile, Tesla was also making significant strides in humanoid robotics as Musk revealed last week that the company's Optimus robot is developing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536080/elon-musk-says-teslas-optimus-can-learn-tasks-by-watching-youtube-videos-just-like-a-human">ability to learn tasks by watching videos</a>, similar to human learning patterns.
However, Tesla&#8217;s production is taking a hit due to new Chinese export <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44941025/tesla-optimus-robot-hit-by-chinas-rare-earth-magnet-crackdown-elon-musk-says-thousands-may-be-ready-by-year-end-but-no-guarantees-when-you-have-a-complex-manufactured-product">restrictions on rare earth magnets</a>, key components for Optimus actuators, as revealed by Musk during their first-quarter earnings call.

China's Robot Dog Lead Could Outpace US Humanoid Efforts: 'A Hole In Tesla, Figure And Apptronik's Portfolio,' Says Analyst

Expensive valuations of the S&amp;P 500 index, combined with all-time high U.S. household equity holdings, have been signaling high investor optimism despite looming uncertainties surrounding fiscal policies.
What Happened: As the market is grappling with uncertainties around the tariff and tax-related policies, the bond market upheaval, dollar decline, and the fears of rising trade deficit have kept investors on the edge.
However, according to the Federal Reserve Economic Data released by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the households&#8217; investment in corporate equities stands at an all-time high of 43.47%, as of the fourth quarter of 2024.
This deep exposure to equities comes at a time when the S&amp;P 500 index price-to-earnings ratio stands at 23.73 as of May 23. According to the <a href="https://worldperatio.com/index/sp-500/#google_vignette">World PE Ratio</a> data, this was 32.62% higher than the last 20-year average of 15.99. 
The P/E ratio indicates how much investors are paying for every $1 of expected profit. So, as per the data, investors are paying $23.73 for $1 of next year's expected earnings.
The S&amp;P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, also known as the Cyclically Adjusted Price-Earnings ratio, is used as a valuation metric to forecast future returns, where a higher CAPE ratio could reflect lower returns over the next couple of decades, whereas a lower CAPE ratio could reflect higher returns over the next couple of decades.
According to YCharts, <a href="https://ycharts.com/indicators/cyclically_adjusted_pe_ratio">this ratio</a> stood had 34.82 as of May 8, which was more than double its average of 16, thus indicating lower returns in the future.
At the same time, the U.S. <a href="https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_personal_saving_rate#:~:text=Basic%20Info,long%20term%20average%20of%208.41%25.">personal saving rate</a> stood at 3.90% as of March 2025, compared to 4.10% last month and 5.20% last year. This is lower than the long-term average of 8.41%, according to YCharts.

Why It Matters: These factors combined signal that stocks are expensive and owned very broadly, implying that even a moderate drop will affect the whole market. However, analysts remain positive on the stock market returns for 2025.
Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45367861/ed-yardeni-revises-recession-odds-to-25-after-the-rally-bumps-sp-500-year-end-target-to-6500">raised the S&amp;P 500 year-end target</a> back up to 6,500 from 6,000, after the U.S.-China 90-day truce. &#8211;
Goldman Sachs sees the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45379707/sp-500-to-6500-goldman-sachs-trims-recession-odds-as-trump-backs-off-on-tariffs">S&amp;P 500 12-month target</a> at 6,500, starting March 2025, citing stronger earnings, easing tariffs, and falling recession risk in March. 
Carson Group has predicted the S&amp;P 500 would rise 12% to 15% in 2025, implying a year-end close between 6,717 (at 12% return) and 7,443 (at 15% return).
Whereas, J.P. Morgan <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/outlook/market-outlook#:~:text=Global%20equity%20markets%20will%20likely%20see%20a,with%20earnings%20per%20share%20(EPS)%20of%20$270.">estimates a price target</a> of 6,500 for the S&amp;P 500. They also acknowledge that &#8220;there is a large standard error around this forecast and the possibility that S&amp;P 500 may not reach this level until 2026&#8221;. 
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose in premarket on Tuesday. The SPY was up 1.28% to $586.51, while the QQQ advanced 1.41% to $516.40, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

S&P 500's Expensive Valuation Combined With All-Time High Household Holdings: A Look At Where US Stock Market Stands

All eyes turn to NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and the company's AI dominance, new products and questions for the China market when the company reports first-quarter financial results Wednesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close.</a>
Here are the analyst earnings estimates, what experts are saying ahead of the report and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Nvidia to report first-quarter revenue of $43.54 billion, up from $26.04 billion in last year's first quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0527"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The revenue estimate would be a company record, beating the $39.33 billion reported in the fourth quarter.
Nvidia has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in 10 straight quarters.
Analysts expect Nvidia to report first-quarter earnings per share of 88 cents, up from 61 cents per share in last year's first quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in nine straight quarters.

 What Experts Are Saying: Nvidia stock could be flat to down heading into the earnings report due to macro uncertainty and a ban on the H20 AI chip in China, Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar said in a new investor note ahead of Q1 results.
"The new re-spun China chip will likely be commercialized in the late part of the July quarter, which could also impact July's guide," he said, reiterating an Overweight rating and $150 price target on Nvidia.
Kumar said most of the factors that could hurt Nvidia's first quarter are outside the company's control. The analyst sees a strong back half of the year coming for Nvidia with macro forces improving.
"We advise investors to weather the uncertainty and stay long the stock as this is likely largely the last wave of negative news for NVDA this year."
Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods said there are three main things investors will be watching and listening for in Nvidia's report.
Woods called Nvidia "the poster child for all that is AI."
Woods said the three things that will be most watched are sales of the Blackwell chip, the export restrictions on China, and guidance.
"Government restrictions have limited Nvidia's ability to export certain AI chips, like the H20, to China, potentially affecting revenue," Woods said in his weekly <a href="https://jaywoods.substack.com/">newsletter</a>.
The market strategist said investors will be looking at Nvidia's guidance to see how the giant can navigate this setback, including potential new, compliant chip variants for the Chinese market.
After a history of raising projections for future earnings, Woods questions if the trend can continue given the growth concerns, global competition, and inflation concerns Nvidia faces.
Here are other recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/analyst-ratings"> analyst ratings on Nvidia</a> and their price targets:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Wedbush: Reiterated Outperform rating, $175 price target</li>
<li>Bank of America: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $150 to $160</li>
<li>UBS: Maintained Buy rating, lowered price target from $180 to $175</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: Nvidia has shown huge year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth in recent years. With another record quarter predicted by analysts, guidance will become increasingly important.
The company posted a 12% quarter-over-quarter sales increase in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991607/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-demand-for-blackwell-is-amazing"> the fourth quarter</a>, with sales up 78% year-over-year. Given the tougher comps, triple-digit growth is likely gone, and eventually, this growth forecast could continue to fall.
Data Center segment revenue hit another record in the fourth quarter, with $35.6 billion, up 93% year over year.
The fourth quarter saw Data Center carry the company with Gaming &amp; AI PC segment revenue down 11% year-over-year and Professional Visualization revenue up 10% year-over-year. The company's automotive segment saw strong overall year-over-year growth of 103% in the quarter, but it was the smallest segment by revenue ($570 million).
Another area to watch could be any talk about competition. Chip competitor AMD <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45550527/amd-takes-on-nvidia-stock-with-direct-shot-at-gpus-reviewer-says-rx-9060-could-hit-the-bullseye">recently unveiled the</a> Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI Pro R9700 graphics cards. The new graphics cards will bring AI capabilities to workstations and gamers worldwide and increase AMD's competition with Nvidia.
Tech reviewer Tom&#8217;s Guide&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/gpus/amds-radeon-rx-9060-xt-is-a-direct-shot-at-nvidias-rtx-5060-heres-why-i-think-it-will-hit-the-bullseye" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>the RX 9060 XT's release is a &#8220;direct shot&#8221; at Nvidia&#8217;s RTX 5060. The reviewer believes AMD&#8217;s product could &#8220;hit the bullseye&#8221; in the competitive race.
While Nvidia likely won't comment on the competition, it could provide keywords and highlight how its products are the best on the market.
Another area to watch with Nvidia's stock report will be if other peer companies go higher or lower on the news. Nvidia's post-earnings move will also have a large impact on several of the most-watched stock market indexes and ETFs.
Nvidia is the second-largest holding of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), with a 6.5% weighting. A sharp decline in Nvidia's stock price due to guidance could send the overall S&amp;P 500 and ETFs lower on the week.
Nvidia is the second-largest holding of the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), with an 8.3% weighting.
The stock is also a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, but due to the index being price-weighted, it makes up a smaller percentage and holding in ETFs, like being the 23rd largest holding in the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) and 1.9% of assets.
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia stock was up 3.2% to $135.44 on Tuesday, versus a 52-week trading range of $86.63 to $153.13. However, it is down 2.2% year-to-date in 2025, while shares have increased over 18% in the last year.

NVIDIA Q1 Earnings Preview: Analyst Cautions On Macro Uncertainty, China Restrictions - 'Stay Long The Stock'

Wall Street charged higher Tuesday, with U.S. equities posting broad-based gains by midday as investors embraced a risk-on mood, spurred by easing Treasury yields and renewed optimism surrounding trade talks between the U.S. and the European Union.
The bond market drove a major sentiment shift. U.S. 30-year Treasury yields sank 10 basis points to 4.93%, falling below the psychologically key 5% threshold for the first time in days. 
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rallied 1.5%, eyeing the strongest daily gain since late February 2025. 
This move follows a surprise development in Japan, where the Ministry of Finance announced a reduction in the issuance of longer-dated government bonds. That decision triggered an 18-basis-point drop in Japan's 30-year yield, creating a ripple effect that eased pressure across global fixed-income markets.
The sharp decline in yields helped equities rally across the board. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.9%, extending May&#8217;s gains to more than 6%. The benchmark is now tracking its strongest monthly performance since November 2023.
Technology and small-cap stocks outpaced broader benchmarks, adding momentum to the rally. Every sector in the S&amp;P 500 traded higher on the day. 
Among the mega-caps, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stood out with a 6.4% gain, reclaiming price levels last seen in mid-February. 
As equity and bond sentiment improved, traditional safe-haven assets lost appeal. Gold prices fell 1%, slipping below $3,300 per ounce. The move reflects investors rotating out of defensive plays amid increasing appetite for risk.
In energy markets, crude oil dropped 1.5% to $60.50 a barrel, while copper prices slid 2.1%, signaling some caution in industrial demand despite the bullish tone in equities.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded near $110,000, remaining close to its all-time highs.

Wall Street Rockets As Bond Yields Drop, Tesla Hits 3-Month Highs: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

WIIM

Major indexes are higher after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July.

Veteran financial commentator, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer, is sounding an alarm for investors, suggesting that the performance of tech giants Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) this week will be a critical indicator for the broader market&#8217;s health.
What Happened: In a recent post on X, Cramer urged followers to &#8220;Watch Apple. If it doesn&#8217;t go up as much as the market, really bad sign for key holding.&#8221; His warning extends to Nvidia, which is set to report earnings this week on Wednesday, stating, &#8220;Same with Nvidia as it reports this week.&#8221;
Cramer&#8217;s comments highlight the significant influence these two companies, often considered market &#8220;bellwethers,&#8221; wield over overall investor sentiment and portfolio performance.
On Friday, Trump demanded that iPhones sold in the U.S. be manufactured domestically, threatening a 25% tariff otherwise.

Meanwhile, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45612246/nvidia-to-be-hit-by-china-chip-export-curbs-or-deliver-q2-guidance-surprise-after-middle-east-dealmaking-heres-what-charts-show-ahead-of-q1-results">expect Nvidia to report earnings</a> per share of $0.88 for the first quarter, a 43% increase from the prior year, while its revenue is projected at $43.4 billion, up 65% from a year ago.

Here&#8217;s What Charts Show Ahead Of Q1 Results</a>
Why It Matters: Adding to the cautious tone, Cramer also noted a challenging environment for new investments, stating, &#8220;Now the futures are officially so high that you can&#8217;t buy anything that&#8217;s up big.&#8221;
This suggests that current market valuations are stretched, making it difficult for investors to find attractive entry points for stocks that have already seen significant gains.

Jim Cramer Warns Market Could Be In Trouble If Apple, Nvidia Stocks Slide This Week: 'Really Bad Sign'

U.S. stock futures rose on Tuesday after closing lower for the week on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading higher in premarket.
The markets were closed on Monday in observance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45605452/is-the-stock-market-open-on-memorial-day-heres-whats-open-and-closed-on-may-26">Memorial Day</a> holiday, affecting trading activity in the exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.
President Donald Trump announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45603240/trump-agrees-to-extend-50-tariffs-on-europe-until-july-9-it-was-my-privilege-to-do-so">extension of the 50% tariffs</a> on Sunday till July 9, which he had initially announced on Friday.
Trump said that he spoke to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who said in a post on X that the EU is ready to engage in swift and decisive negotiations.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.46% and the two-year bond was at 3.98%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
Sectoral moves weighed on U.S. stocks Friday, with information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services contributing to the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s fourth consecutive daily decline.
However, consumer staples and utilities bucked the trend to close higher.
Individual stock movements reflected broader concerns: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares dropped nearly 3% after President Trump demanded domestic iPhone manufacturing, threatening a 25% tariff.
Ross Stores Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) sank 20% following its fourth quarter earnings report.
Meanwhile, U.S. sales of new single-family homes surprisingly climbed 10.9% month-over-month to an annualized rate of 743,000 units.

Insights From Analysts:
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya signaled a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45610672/market-is-risk-off-chamath-palihapitiya-flags-rising-investor-fear-as-money-market-fund-assets-hit-724-trillion"> significant shift in market sentiment</a>, highlighting a new trend. 
On Monday, he posted on X, declaring the &#8220;market is risk-off,&#8221; citing a Barchart post that revealed money market fund assets surged to a new all-time high of $7.24 trillion.
This preference for money market funds, or cash equivalents, typically intensifies during periods of heightened market and economic turmoil.
The recent spike underscores growing investor caution amid persistent macroeconomic uncertainty and evolving interest rate expectations, indicating a major swing in investor confidence over the past couple of weeks.
Chamath, in his post, implied that the investors were fleeing riskier assets such as stocks in favor of safer, yield-generating instruments.

Ed Yardeni hinted that the week ahead would be crucial for bond investors as the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; reaches the Senate for discussions.
&#8220;And in the aftermath of Moody&#8217;s downgrading the US to &#8220;Aaa&#8221; on May 16, financial markets will pay close attention to events on Capitol Hill. Namely, how the deficit-bloating &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; that the House passed last week lands with Senate Republicans, as well as the Bond Vigilantes,&#8221; he said.

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher After S&P 500's Four-Day Fall: 'Market Is Risk-Off,' Says Expert

While the export restrictions on Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 AI chip have dented its earnings estimates for the first quarter, the recently signed contracts in the Middle East could surprise the second quarter guidance on the upside.
What Happened: According to T3 Live, Nvidia&#8217;s earnings estimates fell for the first time in years after the company took a $5.5 billion hit because of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">export restrictions on the H20 AI chip</a>.
However, President Donald Trump&#8216;s dealmaking rampage in the Middle East during the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum, with a major emphasis on AI, could bring a positive change to its second-quarter estimates.
These deals include the sale of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45602111/600b-ai-opportunity-nvidias-18000-chip-deal-with-saudi-arabias-humain-puts-middle-east-front-of-the-line-says-wedbushs-dan-ives">18,000 Blackwell chips</a> to Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Humain. Additionally, the U.S. is partnering with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39496617/uae-eyes-deeper-collaboration-with-us-in-ai-race-after-microsofts-1-5b-investment-in-local-firm">United Arab Emirates to build</a> a major AI campus, and Nvidia is joining the party.
Also, Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45599854/oracle-to-spend-40-billion-on-nvidia-gb200-chips-for-openais-texas-data-center-report">will spend $40 billion</a> on Nvidia chips for OpenAI&#8217;s new Texas-based data center.
&#8220;So could NVIDIA deliver monster guidance on its Wednesday earnings report It seems possible,&#8221; the post stated further.

However, according to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45608914/nvidia-earnings-on-deck-can-ai-darling-beat-the-streets-high-bar-amid-china-headwin"> Bank of America analyst</a> Vivek Arya, Nvidia&#8217;s gross margins could drop due to a $5.5 billion inventory write-off from U.S. restrictions on high-end H20 chip sales to China.
This could slash gross margins from 71% to 58%, pushing pro forma EPS down to $0.74, 16% below consensus. He highlights that Nvidia is itself estimating a $15 billion reduction in FY26 sales due to the H20 ban, significantly higher than analyst expectations.
Despite these risks, Bank of America maintains a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating on Nvidia with a $160 price target, suggesting a 22% upside.

Why It Matters: According to the technical analysis of its simple daily moving averages, Nvidia&#8217;s closing price of $131.29 apiece as of Friday was above its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages.
The relative strength index at 63 was still neutral but approaching the overbought mark of 70. Whereas, its momentum indicator, the MACD line, was positive as its 12-day exponential moving average was above its 26-day EMA, indicating a bullish trend.

Nvidia To Be Hit By China Chip Export Curbs Or Deliver Q2 Guidance Surprise After Middle East Deal? Here's What Charts Show Ahead Of Q1 Results

While still in its early stages, quantum computing is a major focus for a few pure-play companies, along with technology giants alike. Here is a breakdown of quantum computing-focused companies that investors could consider as the technology evolves.
What Happened: The key difference between the pure-play quantum computing companies and large technology giants lies in their core business focus and their stage of involvement in the quantum computing industry.
The pure-play companies are primarily, if not exclusively, focused on the development and commercialization of quantum computing technologies. The success of such companies is almost entirely tied to the progress and adoption of quantum computing.
The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of these companies is used to analyze their valuation, as these companies, which are in early stages of development, have negative earnings, making the popular valuation metric, price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, unusable.
Among a few pure-play quantum computing companies, D-Wave Quantum Inc. has the lowest P/S ratio of 199.114, whereas Quantum Computing Inc. had a staggering P/S ratio of 3,500.00, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
