Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has decided to suspend its billion-dollar data center project in Licking County, Ohio. ​This decision marks the most recent in a line of data center project cancellations by the software behemoth.
What Happened: Microsoft has backed out of its earlier commitment to invest $1 billion in three data center campuses located in New Albany, Heath, and Hebron. This decision aligns with the company&#8217;s recent trend of pulling out from data center projects across the US, Europe, APAC, and the U.K., <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2025/04/07/microsoft-backs-out-of-plans-to-build-data-centers-in-licking-county/82973097007/">reported</a> The Columbus Dispatch.
The original plans, unveiled in October, involved a $420 million investment for the New Albany data center campus, which had been granted a 15-year tax abatement by the City Council. The data center was slated to occupy a 200-acre site with construction set to commence in July 2025.
A Microsoft spokesperson told the publication, &#8220;We will continue to evaluate these sites in line with our investment strategy.&#8221; The company also reaffirmed its plan to retain ownership of the land and proceed with development at a future date yet to be determined.

Why It Matters: This decision by Microsoft follows a pattern of similar project cancellations. Earlier this month, the tech giant had halted discussions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44645946/microsoft-halts-data-center-expansions-due-to-semiconductor-tariff-concerns-ai-overcapacity-fears">postponed the development</a> of sites in several locations including the UK, Australia, and the U.S., due to concerns over semiconductor tariffs and AI overcapacity. 
Earlier in February, Microsoft <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43908921/microsoft-pulls-plug-on-ai-data-center-leases-says-analyst-oversupply-situation-likely">had begun to cance</a>l leases for a significant portion of its AI data center capacity in the U.S., hinting at a potential oversupply situation. ​TD Cowen&#8217;s analysts were the first to highlight the issue, speculating that lease cancellations and capacity deferrals indicate a data center oversupply relative to Microsoft&#8217;s current demand forecast. ​
Notably, in January, Microsoft unveiled plans to invest nearly $80 billion in developing AI-powered data centers and deploying AI and cloud-based applications globally.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Noelle Walsh, Microsoft Cloud president, stated on LinkedIn that the company is on course to fulfill its capex commitment for the year, adding, &#8220;Data center planning is a multi-year and capital-intensive program&#8230; we are slowing or pausing some early-stage projects. While we may strategically pace our plans, we will continue to grow strongly and allocate investments that stay aligned with business priorities and customer demand.&#8221;

Renowned economist Peter Schiff has delivered a scathing assessment of President Donald Trump&#8216;s recent tariff policy, comparing the rollout and the subsequent pause to the catastrophic failure of the 1937 Hindenburg airship disaster.
What Happened: In a post on X post, Schiff argued that Trump's aggressive tariff threats have backfired, exposing vulnerabilities in the U.S. economy and diminishing his negotiating power on the global stage.
Schiff&#8217;s critique highlights the potential consequences of Trump&#8217;s aggressive trade tactics. By implementing sweeping tariffs and then abruptly pausing them, Trump may have signaled to trading partners that his threats are not as credible as initially perceived. This perceived weakness could undermine his negotiating position in future trade talks.
&#8220;Trump reduced himself to a paper tiger,&#8221; added Schiff.
He characterized Trump's tariff rollout as highly flawed, likening it to the "Hindenburg of trial balloons" — a metaphor referencing the 1937 airship disaster that marked a dramatic and tragic end to an era.
<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">If Trump really wanted to use the threat of tariffs to negotiate deals, he substantially weakened his bargaining position by demonstrating how much damage the U.S. would suffer by imposing them. By floating the Hindenburg of trial balloons, Trump reduced himself to a paper tiger.
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1910274090679623897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2025</a></blockquote>

Why It Matters: The U.S. stock market recovered on Wednesday after Trump paused the tariffs, with the S&amp;P 500 logging its largest single-day gain since 2008. It was also the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s third-biggest one-day gain since 1950.
Bill Ackman, billionaire investor and Pershing Square CEO, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44723751/billionaire-investor-bill-ackman-praises-trumps-tariff-pause-thank-you-on-behalf-of-all-americans">applauded President Trump&#8217;s 90-day tariff pause</a> for non-retaliating nations, while Trump simultaneously increased tariffs on China to 125%. Ackman expressed his gratitude on X, particularly praising Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. 
Ray Dalio, the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44727235/how-wall-street-and-tech-leaders-reacted-to-trumps-surprise-tariff-stance-reversal">lauded Trump&#8217;s pivot towards trade negotiations</a> over escalating tensions as &#8220;a much better way&#8221; in an X post. He urged the President to secure a deal with China and lower the fiscal deficit to 3% of GDP, suggesting a strategy involving RMB appreciation against the dollar via China selling dollar assets and easing its economic policies to boost demand. 
Notably, the Nasdaq 100 rose to exit the bear territory and was down 13.85% from its previous record of 22,222.61 points. The S&amp;P 500 was still in the correction zone, down 11.23% from its last high of 6,147.43 points. Whereas Dow Jones was 9.91% lower than its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points.
Price Action: 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, were lower in premarket on Thursday. The SPY was down 2.75% to $533.51, while the QQQ declined 2.49% to $454.41, while the QQQ declined 1.81% to $457.56, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pr</a>o data.
