President Donald Trump escalated pressure on Moscow on Tuesday, declaring the United States would impose tariffs and sanctions on Russia within 10 days unless significant progress occurs toward ending the three-year Ukraine conflict.
Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed he had shortened his initial 50-day deadline announced last month, telling reporters he received no response from Russian President Vladimir Putin. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to put on tariffs and the various things that you put on,&#8221; Trump stated, according to Reuters.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Trump's Ultimatum Shift Oil Markets?</h2>
The ultimatum carries significant market implications as investors monitor potential disruptions to global oil supplies. Russia remains a major energy exporter despite existing sanctions, with crude oil futures showing volatility ahead of potential additional restrictions.
Trump dismissed concerns about the oil market impact, pledging to boost domestic production to offset any supply disruptions. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s going to affect Russia, because (Putin) wants to, obviously, probably keep the war going,&#8221; he said.
WTI crude oil futures hovered above $69 per barrel on Wednesday, while Brent crude traded around $72.50, with both benchmarks holding at five-week highs amid signs of tightening supply and resilient demand.

<li>United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) jumped 3.41% to close at $79.80, before dipping 0.21% overnight to $79.63.</li>

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Are China's Tariffs The Next Global Shockwave?</h2>
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed during bilateral talks this week that he warned Chinese officials that Beijing could face high tariffs if Russian oil purchases continue. The secondary sanctions threat targets countries purchasing Russian exports, potentially affecting global commodity flows.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Trump's Ultimatum Alter Russia's Strategy?</h2>
The president&#8217;s frustration with Moscow&#8217;s ceasefire refusal marks a shift from his previous hesitation on sanctions implementation. Trump has previously touted his relationship with Putin but recently called him &#8220;absolutely crazy&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46269242/russian-president-vladimir-putin-reminds-historic-special-relations-with-us-against-the-uk-we-found-things-that-united-us">following Russian airstrikes on Ukraine</a>.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, a Putin ally, responded on X that Trump was playing &#8220;a game of ultimatums&#8221; that could escalate into U.S. involvement in war.
<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">Trump&#39;s playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn&#39;t Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don&#39;t go down the Sleepy Joe road!

Trump To Russia: End Ukraine War In 10 Days Or Face Tariffs — Oil Approaches $70

Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) has been quietly amassing a staggering $4.37 billion in annual dividend income, translating to a whopping $138.63 every second, without selling a single share.
What Happened: As of 2025, Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s dividend income is a result of strategic capital allocation, brand loyalty, and long-term conviction, according <a href="https://www.barchart.com/story/news/33720203/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-now-earns-138-every-second-from-dividends">to</a> Barchart. 
The company&#8217;s passive income mainly flows from a select group of high-quality, dividend-paying companies, many of which have been held for years or even decades.
Household names like Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) generate over half of the portfolio&#8217;s total dividend income. These companies are known for their strong brands, recurring revenues, and pricing discipline.
This passive cash engine not only boosts Berkshire&#8217;s income statement but also provides Buffett with optionality. The dividends received can be reinvested into new investments, stock buybacks, debt repayments, or held as cash reserves, without shrinking Berkshire&#8217;s ownership in the underlying businesses.
Berkshire&#8217;s approach is not based&nbsp;on yield-chasing or short-term momentum&nbsp;plays, but on the belief in &#8220;economic moats,&#8221; the durable competitive advantages that&nbsp;allow companies to fend off&nbsp;competition and maintain pricing power&nbsp;over time. 
This strategy has led to a steady stream of passive income, which can be reinvested into new opportunities,&nbsp;stock buybacks, debt repayments, or&nbsp;held as cash reserves.

Why It Matters: Despite the current investment landscape dominated by algorithmic trading and speculative bubbles, Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s success is a testament to the enduring power of patience and quality.
Buffett has 56% of his $258 billion portfolio&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/hedge-funds/25/07/46687204/warren-buffett-has-56-of-his-258-billion-portfolios-value-exposed-to-ai-here-are-the-5-stocks-that-are-leveraging-ai-within-berkshires-holdings">value exposed to AI</a>, with Berkshire Hathaway holding stocks like Apple and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) that leverage AI in their businesses on a large scale.
Earlier, it was revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/movers-shakers/25/06/45736983/warren-buffett-makes-over-2-2-million-a-day-from-this-stock">Buffett makes over $2.2 million</a> a day from his investment in Coca-Cola, a testament to his patient, long-term investing strategy. According to recent data, 98% of Buffett&#8217;s $160 billion wealth came after turning 65, showcasing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45399940/warren-buffett-shows-how-patience-pays-98-of-his-160-billion-wealth-came-after-turning-65-thanks-the-power-of-compound-interest">the power of compound interest</a> and reinforcing the value of long-term investing.
Meanwhile, this week, VeriSign Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRSN#NASDAQ">VRSN</a>) said that Berkshire had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46682662/verisign-stock-falls-after-berkshire-hathaway-cuts-holdings">sold about one-third of its stake</a> in the company, which it had held since 2012. The sale involved 4.3 million shares at $285 each, generating approximately $1.23 billion and reducing Berkshire's ownership from 14.2% to 9.6%.

Following the announcement of positive top-line results from its open-label Phase 2a trial, the stock of Aclaris Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACRS#NASDAQ">ACRS</a>) has seen a 21.94% rise in after-hours trading on Tuesday.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACRS">ACRS stock here</a>.&nbsp;
What Happened: Aclaris Therapeutics, the Pennsylvania-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, reported positive top-line results from its open-label Phase 2a trial of ATI-2138, a potent and selective investigational inhibitor of interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) and Janus kinase 3 (JAK3). The trial involved 14 patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
Dr. Neal Walker, Chief Executive Officer of Aclaris, noted, "These Phase 2a trial results represent a significant achievement for our ITK franchise by confirming the mechanism and corroborating our work on next-generation ITK selective compounds."

Following this announcement, the stock of Aclaris Therapeutics rose by 21.94% to $1.89 in after-hours trading.
Why It Matters: The trial achieved its primary and key secondary endpoints, confirming the favorable tolerability profile of ATI-2138 without the risks associated with other agents in the class. The efficacy results showed comparable outcomes to approved therapies, suggesting the potential for improved tolerability and supporting exploration of higher doses in future clinical trials.
The positive results from the Phase 2a trial have been a significant boost for Aclaris Therapeutics. The recent surge in its stock value is a clear indication of the market&#8217;s positive reception of the company&#8217;s latest achievements.
Price Action: ACRS shares closed 7.74% lower at $1.55 on Tuesday. The stock has traded between $1.05 and $5.17 over the past year — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACRS">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Aclaris Therapeutics Stock Spikes In After‑Hours Session Following Major Announcement

Brian Armstrong, CEO of&nbsp;cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, recalled on Tuesday a famous quote by Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) creator Satoshi Nakamoto from 15 years ago.
What Happened: Armstrong highlighted a quote from the pseudonymous creator from a Bitcointalk forum conversation on July 30, 2010.
Satoshi was responding to questions about Bitcoin's ability to handle a large number of transactions and users, with specific concerns around the 10 minutes taken to mine one block
"If you don&#8217;t believe me or don&#8217;t get it, I don&#8217;t&nbsp;have time to try to&nbsp;convince you, sorry,&#8221; Satoshi responded. 
Reflecting on the quote, Armstrong stated that while it took some time, &#8220;hundreds of millions of people&#8221; now understand Bitcoin, underlining how knowledge and use of the major cryptocurrency have progressed over the years.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

YouTube criticized the decision, arguing it is not a social media platform. &#8220;YouTube is a video-sharing platform… it&#8217;s not social media,&#8221; a company spokesperson said.
The company had earlier lobbied the government to retain its exemption and has not ruled out a legal challenge, the report said.
Communications Minister Anika Wells responded, saying, &#8220;I will not be intimidated by legal threats when this is a genuine fight for the well-being of Australian kids.&#8221;

YouTube was initially exempted from the rule due to its role as an educational resource and its provision of supervised access via family accounts.
The platform has publicly stated that it is stepping up moderation efforts and enhancing its automated systems to better detect harmful content.
According to StatCounter Global Stats, Facebook remained the dominant social media platform in Australia as of June 2025, commanding a significant 64.35% market share.

Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) accounted for 3.34% of usage, while YouTube held a comparatively smaller share at 2.89%.

Future Fund LLC's managing director, Gary Black, says that a smaller Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) pickup truck would significantly boost the EV giant's total addressable market.

What Happened: "A smaller Tesla pickup would be a compelling new form factor that could significantly expand Tesla TAM and earnings potential," the investor said in a post on X on Tuesday.
He cited an interview of Tesla's VP of vehicle engineering, Lars Moravy, at the X takeover event, where Moravy hinted at a smaller pickup truck for the company, saying it was in the design studio.
"We estimate a smaller pickup could add 420K incremental units per year to Tesla deliveries, with little or no cannibalization given the current limited consumer appeal of the Tesla Cybertruck," Black said in his post.

Black also called Cybertruck a "disaster" and said it was "unprofitable" for Tesla, citing poor sales of the pickup truck. "It's too big, too expensive, and impractical for most customers who want pickups," the investor said.
He added that a smaller, $50,000 pickup truck could capitalize on Tesla's brand and earn the company "15-20% margins" on a global scale. However, the company would need to listen to the consumers instead of letting "engineers decide what's best for them."

Why It Matters: The comments came when Tesla's co-founder, Martin Eberhard, had criticized the company's decision to scrap plans for an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46678704/tesla-co-founder-says-elon-musk-scrapping-25000-ev-for-the-dumpster-looking-cybertruck-left-him-disappointed">affordable $25,000 model</a> in favor of the Cybertruck, which he said looked like a "dumpster."
Besides Eberhard, Black had also criticized Elon Musk and Tesla for the affordable variant in the Tesla lineup being a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46594012/teslas-new-model-y-trim-wont-expand-market-offers-zero-incremental-volume-says-gary-black">scaled-down version</a> of the Model Y, which the investor said would lead to cannibalization.
Black had also criticized the company's Q2 earnings call, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46624776/gary-black-slams-tesla-over-disaster-second-quarter-earnings-says-he-would-pass-on-tsla-stock-calls-robotaxi-launch-kabuki-theater">labelling it a disaster</a> and calling the Robotaxi "kabuki theater" following a disappointing quarter for Tesla, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46625917/elon-musk-led-tesla-announces-new-offers-incentives-on-entire-lineup-amid-sluggish-us-sales">saw sales tumble</a>.
Elsewhere, despite the criticism, Musk remains optimistic about Tesla and has hinted that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46626447/elon-musk-says-20-trillion-valuation-possible-for-tesla-even-as-second-quarter-earnings-show-sales-revenue-decline-extreme-execution-is-needed">$20 trillion valuation</a> for the company could be possible in the future, but warned that such a feat would need extreme execution.
