President Donald Trump&#8216;s 25% tariffs on auto imports have sent shockwaves through the integrated North American automotive supply chain, prompting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">divergent responses from major manufacturers</a> as United Auto Workers leadership criticizes job cuts.
What Happened: Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) announced Thursday it will temporarily lay off 900 workers at five U.S. facilities and pause production at assembly plants in Mexico and Canada. The affected U.S. sites include Warren Stamping, Sterling Stamping, Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant, and Kokomo Casting Plant.
&#8220;We&#8217;re continuing to assess the medium- and long-term effects of these tariffs on our operations, but also have decided to take some immediate actions,&#8221; Antonio Filosa, Stellantis&#8217; chief operating officer for the Americas, wrote in a letter to employees.
In contrast, General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) plans to increase light-duty truck production at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, assembly plant, according to a company webcast viewed by Reuters. The expansion will add 225-250 jobs at the facility, which manufactures Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
UAW President Shawn Fain criticized Stellantis&#8217; decision, calling the layoffs &#8220;completely unnecessary&#8221; and arguing the company has &#8220;the money, the capacity, the product, and the workforce to employ thousands more UAW members.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s tariffs, which also include a 10% baseline on all imports, have sent automaker stocks tumbling. Stellantis shares fell 9.41% in New York trading on Thursday, while GM lost 4.34%.
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) responded to the tariffs by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44641009/ford-launches-from-america-for-america-discount-program-as-tariffs-threaten-vehicle-price-surge">extending employee pricing to all customers</a> through Jun. 2, a promotion the company described as helping Americans navigate &#8220;uncertain times.&#8221;
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called the situation a &#8220;tariff torpedo&#8221; and &#8220;pure chaos&#8221; for the industry, estimating potential price increases of $5,000-$10,000 per vehicle, with luxury models <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">seeing hikes up to $15,000</a>.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt defended the tariffs <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/karoline-leavitt-trump-tariffs-deportations/">on</a> NewsNation, saying, &#8220;They can expect their wages to go up&#8230; There&#8217;s not going to be any pain for American-owned companies and American workers because their jobs are going to come back home.&#8221;

Trump's 25% Auto Tariffs Spark Stellantis Layoffs, GM Expansion: UAW's Shawn Fain Calls Job Cuts 'Completely Unnecessary'

The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices fell sharply on Thursday after President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on U.S. trading partners, following the market close on Wednesday. The indices have logged double-digit declines since Trump&#8217;s inauguration on Jan. 20, and technical charts indicate bearish momentum.
What Happened: The S&amp;P 500 index slumped 4.84% to 5,396.52 points on Thursday, declining by 10.79% since Trump&#8217;s inauguration day, when the index jumped with joy as the Republican president began his term on Jan. 20.
Nasdaq 100, on the other hand, spiraled 5.41% to 18,521.48 points, down by 14.12% since Trump&#8217;s inauguration.
However, during former President Barack Obama&#8216;s tenure, the S&amp;P 500 rose 4.10% and the Nasdaq 100 gained 1.78% between his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2013, and April 3, 2013.
Similarly, the S&amp;P 500 rose 5.87% and the Nasdaq 100 advanced 2.27% from Jan. 20, 2021, to April 3, 2021, during ex President Joe Biden&#8216;s tenure.
Technical analysis of the exchange-traded funds tracking these indices, namely 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, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), indicated a bearish trend and weakening momentum according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SPY</h3>
As of Thursday&#8217;s close, SPY was at $536.70, which was below its short and long-term averages. While that clearly signaled a bearish trend, the relative strength index at 31.62 was close to the oversold territory.
The momentum indicator, MACD, also pointed toward a weaker trend. SPY&#8217;s MACD line was at -7.98, showing that its 12-period exponential moving average is below the 26-period EMA.
Additionally, the histogram was negative at -0.77, meaning that the MACD line was falling further below the signal line. This depicts that the bearish momentum is increasing.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">QQQ</h3>
QQQ closed at $450.66 on Thursday, and it was also below its short and long-term simple moving averages. The RSI at 31.45 was closer to the oversold zone, whereas its MACD line was much below the signal line with a negative -9.77 metric.
These factors indicated a strong bearish trend for QQQ as well.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04020907/QQQ-technical-chart-new-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-856842" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04020907/QQQ-technical-chart-new-1024x576.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04020907/QQQ-technical-chart-new-300x169.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04020907/QQQ-technical-chart-new-768x432.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04020907/QQQ-technical-chart-new-1536x864.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04020907/QQQ-technical-chart-new.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
Price Action: Apart from its move from the inauguration day on Jan. 20, both indices were also in the correction zone as they plunged below 10% from their previous highs.
The S&amp;P 500 index was down 12.22% from its record high of 6,147.43 points, scaled on Feb. 19. Whereas, the Nasdaq 100 was 16.65% lower from its 52-week high of 22,222.61 points, essentially getting closer to the bear market territory of -20%.
On Friday, the futures of the Dow Jones index dropped 0.31%, whereas the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices also declined by 0.27% and 0.26%, respectively.

S&P 500 Plummets 10.8%, Nasdaq 100 Corrects 14.1% Since Trump's Inauguration: Here's How It Compares To Obama And Biden Eras

Jim Cramer has voiced his displeasure over the prevailing tariff policies, terming it a &#8216;manmade disaster&#8217; that has led to a downturn in the stock market.
What Happened: Jim Cramer, recognized for his shows &#8216;Mad Money&#8217; and &#8216;Squawk on the Street&#8217;, slammed the current administration&#8217;s tariff policies in an interview on CNN. He argued that the tariffs are not reciprocal as pledged, but are instead one-sided and inconsistent, potentially leading to significant harm.
&#8220;Let's get one thing straight: I've never been a free trader. Never. I'm a fair trader—always have been, from my days running a hedge fund to my time yelling about stocks on CNBC,&#8221; stated Cramer.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

Cramer claimed that the tariffs have led to job losses in small towns, decimated pensions, and left people in the lurch. He expressed his disappointment, stating that he had faith&nbsp;in the promise of reciprocal&nbsp;trade. &#8220;I&nbsp;was all in. It made&nbsp;sense. It was fair. It&nbsp;was a chance to level&nbsp;the playing field. But what&nbsp;did we get instead? A&nbsp;mess,&#8221; he lamented.

The Mad Money Host also feels that the White House&#8217;s new tariffs are unbalanced, inconsistent, and potentially harmful. The numbers don't add up—some countries impose $100 billion in tariffs on the U.S., while the U.S. only applies $10 billion in return, with some tariffs as low as 2.5%, opined Cramer. 
Why It Matters: Cramer&#8217;s criticism of the current tariff policies marks a significant shift in his stance. In March, Cramer had called himself &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44535985/jim-cramer-says-he-is-pro-tariff-and-hates-free-trade-its-cost-us-fortunes">Pro-Tariff&#8217;</a> and voiced his opposition to free trade, blaming it for the ruin of small towns in the U.S. His recent comments indicate a change in perspective, reflecting his disappointment with the implementation of the tariff policies and their impact on the economy.
Cramer also called the calculations behind the tariffs a &#8220;ridiculous mathematical equation.&#8221; According to Cramer, the repercussions of these policies have been a slump in the stock market and financial losses for individuals. He urged the administration to rectify the trade policy trajectory and restore jobs.
On the other hand, JPMorgan analyst Thomas Kennedy feels that tariffs could bring in a profound change in the long term. He believes that the era of globalization has come to an end. &#8220;&#8230;there will be a re-industrialization of America and that has real estate implications.&#8221;

Earnings

Earnings Scheduled For April 4, 2025

On Thursday, the technology sector witnessed a major drop,&nbsp;with the Nasdaq closing 6%&nbsp;lower. This marked the most severe single-day decline for tech stocks in over five years.
What Happened: The sharp fall triggered widespread apprehension regarding the future of the tech sector. Dan Ives, the Global Head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities, spoke to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Miyrnlfi_10">CNBC </a>and linked the market&#8217;s downfall to the proposed tariffs and their potential effects on global supply chains and consumer costs.
The tech sector, traditionally a favorite among investors, found itself in a vulnerable position due to fears of economic disruption. Ives characterized the situation as &#8220;essentially an economic Armageddon&#8221; if the current tariff proposals, which could impose&nbsp;a 54% duty on Chinese imports, are not revised.
Companies with significant exposure to China, such as Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and various semiconductor firms, bore the brunt of the sell-off. The Magnificent Seven stocks saw a collective market cap loss of over $1 trillion on Thursday.
Ives underscored the unprecedented uncertainty that has gripped the market, stating, &#8220;This is as nervous as I&#8217;ve seen investors since Covid March 2020.&#8221;
In the run-up to upcoming earnings calls, Ives identified three key factors for investors to watch: 
Firstly, the future of the tariffs is uncertain. Economic Advisor Peter Navarro hinted at possible negotiations, but if the tariffs remain, Ives warned they could reduce demand by 15–20% due to rising costs. Second, the lack of clear guidance from companies due to the &#8216;head-scratching nature of the tariffs&#8217; could exacerbate market jitters. Finally, Ives pointed to specific areas of focus: the AI revolution, data center buildouts, and consumer-facing products like the iPhone.

Why It Matters: Dan Ives is usually bullish on the potential for technology, however, he has turned cautious as the proposed tariffs, aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, could instead disrupt&nbsp;supply chains that have been&nbsp;fine-tuned over decades. 
Ives highlighted the gap between policy statements and real-world challenges, warning that moving production entirely to the U.S. could significantly raise costs for tech giants like Apple.
"Talking in front of a microphone in the 202 area code is a lot different than the reality of moving the supply chain."
Despite the current market upheaval, Ives maintains a cautious optimism for the long term, advising investors to look beyond the immediate chaos and consider&nbsp;potential buys if tariff fears&nbsp;ease. 
"You have to look on the other side, assuming some sort of normalized earnings into 2025 and even 2026," he advised, naming Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Apple as potential buys if tariff fears subside.
Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>) dropped 7.24%, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) fell 6.82% on Thursday.

As Nvidia, Apple And Other Mag 7 Stocks Wipe Out Over $1 Trillion In Investor Wealth On Thursday, Top Analyst Warns Of 'Economic Armageddon' For Tech Sector If Current Tariffs Remain

Investors who might have heeded Eric Trump's advice and bought Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dip have had little to rejoice, as the apex cryptocurrency has failed to chart a bullish reversal.
What happened: In an X post on Feb. 25, the Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44106531/eric-trump-said-buy-the-dips-in-february-but-peter-schiff-isnt-buying-the-genius-bitcoin-xrp-cardano-strategic-reserve-announcement">wrote</a>, &#8220;₿uy the dips,&#8221; using the recognizable symbol of the world's largest cryptocurrency
The recommendation, which came shortly after Bitcoin fell below $90,000, elicited reactions from the who's who of the cryptocurrency industry, including Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, who called it, "The ₿est Advice."
Fast forward to the present, and the asset has sunk further to $83,158, marking a 6% decline. So, let's say if you invested $1000 after Trump's advice, it would have reduced to $940 by now.

Interestingly, Bitcoin's staunch critic Peter Schiff had likened Trump's remark to what whales want the smaller players to do so that they can exit the market.
"Dip buying has worked in the past as more air kept coming into the bubble. But there&#8217;s no way to know which dip is the beginning of the final collapse of the pyramid scheme," Schiff said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Bitcoin, like the entire cryptocurrency market, has been pushed into a correction from its January highs, owing to recession fears fanned by President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44632479/retail-stocks-slammed-as-trumps-tariff-plan-sends-shockwaves-through-sector">tariff measures on key trading partners</a>.
It&#8217;s worth noting that influential figures such as venture capitalist Tim Draper and BitMex co-founder Arthur Hayes have set a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44345006/arthur-hayes-predicts-bitcoin-surge-to-250000-by-year-end-says-current-downturn-is-clearing-out-deadwood-short-term-pain">$250,000</a> target for Bitcoin by year-end. Similarly, Standard Chartered Bank predicted that the leading asset will reach $200,000, defying recession fears and Trump&#8217;s trade policies.
Eric Trump offered a similar suggestion regarding Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), saying, "It&#8217;s a great time to add ETH." Since then, the second-largest cryptocurrency <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44240035/ethereum-shrinks-over-30-since-eric-trumps-great-time-to-add-eth-suggestion">has plummeted 37%</a>, eroding nearly $130 billion worth of investors' wealth in the process.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $83,158, down 0.24% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Cliff Asness, Chief Investment Officer at AQR Capital Management, criticized proponents of tariffs Thursday, challenging claims that tariffs lead to deflation rather than inflation.
What Happened: &#8220;Idiots say this and bray like they&#8217;ve scored a great point,&#8221; Asness wrote on X. &#8220;What they mean is giant arbitrary tariffs are so bad they eventually cause recessions which then cause deflation. They then present this as a feature.&#8221;
His comments came in response to Anthony Pompliano, Founder &amp; CEO of Professional Capital Management and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bull, who had said, &#8220;Tariffs don&#8217;t create inflation. The exact opposite happens.&#8221;
The exchange occurs as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44608617/jp-morgan-hikes-us-recession-odds-to-40-tariffs-create-a-dilemma-for-the-fed">recently raised its U.S. recession probability</a> to 40% from 30%, citing President Donald Trump&#8216;s trade policies as a key factor. According to JPMorgan&#8217;s chief global economist Bruce Kasman, upcoming trade measures would lift effective U.S. tariff rates above 10%, potentially cutting 0.5 percentage points from both <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44608617/jp-morgan-hikes-us-recession-odds-to-40-tariffs-create-a-dilemma-for-the-fed">global and U.S. GDP in 2025</a>.
Kasman identified three key risks: eroding investor confidence, disruptions to supply chains, and constraints on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s ability to counteract damage through monetary easing. &#8220;The combination of higher inflation and weaker employment growth creates a dilemma for the Fed,&#8221; noted Michael Feroli, JPMorgan&#8217;s chief U.S. economist.

Why It Matters: Cryptocurrency betting markets reflect growing concerns, with Polymarket showing the odds of a 2025 recession jumping from 46% to 54% in just 24 hours following Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariff announcement. Over $1 million has been <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44640419/recession-in-2025-crypto-betters-now-see-over-50-probability-after-trumps-sweeping-tariff-rollout">wagered on this outcome</a>.

Ark Funds CEO Cathie Wood continues to forecast a &#8220;deflationary boom&#8221; for the second half of 2025, arguing that the market is pricing in &#8220;the last leg of a rolling recession.&#8221;
Meanwhile, veteran strategist Ed Yardeni has reduced his odds for his bullish &#8220;Roaring 2020s&#8221; scenario from 65% to 55%, raising stagflation probability to 45% amid concerns that tariffs will squeeze corporate profit margins and push inflation higher.

Cliff Asness Slams Tariff Logic: 'Idiots Bray Like They've Scored A Point:' Warns Recession-Driven Deflation Isn't A Feature

The CBOE VIX, which is also known as the volatility index or the fear gauge, zoomed 39.56% to close at 30.02 on Thursday following the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
What Happened: According to Charlie Bilello, the chief market strategist at Creative Planning, the VIX index closed at its highest level since Aug. 5, 2024.
&#8220;Fear is on the rise and stocks are on sale, providing more opportunities for long-term investors,&#8221; he said.
Bilello also highlighted the historical data and said that the S&amp;P 500 has given &#8220;higher than average&#8221; returns after the biggest volatility spikes in the past.
The data shared by him shows that after a similar spike on Aug. 5, 2024, the S&amp;P 500 index returned 6% over one month, 11% over three months, and 18% over the next six months. 
On average, the S&amp;P 5000 index has gained 12%, six months after such volatility spikes and 21% after a year. 
&#8220;More Fear = More Opportunity,&#8221; said Bilello in an X post.

The S&amp;P 500 index was down 12.22% from its record high of 6,147.43 points, scaled on Feb. 19. Whereas, the Nasdaq 100 was 16.65% lower from its 52-week high of 22,222.61 points, essentially getting closer to the bear market territory of -20%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, on the other hand, was 10.05% lower than its previous high of 45,073.63 points, as of Thursday.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a sharp decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Thursday, with the Nasdaq Composite dipping around 6% during the session following the announcement of new trade tariffs by President Donald Trump.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) dropped 9% on Thursday.
Lamb Weston Holdings Inc. (NYS E: LW) shares, however, gained 10% after the company reported better-than-expected third-quarter financial results and issued FY25 sales guidance above estimates.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims fell by 6,000 to 219,000 in the week ending March 29, compared to market estimates of 225,000. The U.S. trade deficit shrank to $122.7 billion in February compared to $130.7 billion in the previous month and versus market estimates of a $123.5 billion gap. The ISM services PMI dipped to 50.8 in March versus a reading of 53.5 in February, and down from market estimates of 53.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, energy, and information technology stocks recording the biggest losses on Thursday. However, consumer staples stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 7.7, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 18.6.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

President Donald Trump's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">new reciprocal tariffs</a> could undermine the billion-dollar AI infrastructure projects being spearheaded by leading tech companies, analysts warn.
What Happened: On Thursday, analysts highlighted the negative impact of the Trump administration's tariffs on technology equipment, which were levied at 34% on China, 32% on Taiwan, and 25% on South Korea, while also imposing a 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the U.S., reported Reuters.
The tariffs threaten to raise the costs of essential hardware used in artificial intelligence infrastructure, such as data centers, servers, and chips.

&#8220;Capital expenditure by tech giants will get reshuffled,&#8221; said Abhishek Singh, partner at Everest Group. &#8220;Expect major players in AI infrastructure and consumer tech to reallocate short-term spending away from expansion and toward procurement hedging or sourcing shifts.&#8221;
The tariffs are expected to increase the cost of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43908921/microsoft-pulls-plug-on-ai-data-center-leases-says-analyst-oversupply-situation-likely">building data centers</a> in the U.S., potentially delaying large-scale AI projects.
D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria pointed out that companies like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) have already begun to scale back their data center investments due to financial uncertainty.
&#8220;Microsoft has already started articulating a more balanced, cautious approach to their data center build-out,&#8221; Luria noted.
The most high-profile project affected is the $500 billion Stargate venture between Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), and OpenAI, aimed at building 20 data centers across the U.S.
&#8220;Stargate was already unlikely to get to that scale even before these things happened. Given the shock to the economy that these tariffs represent, it is highly unlikely that such a risky endeavor will be able to raise anywhere near that number in terms of debt financings,&#8221; stated Luria.

Why It Matters: President Trump&#8217;s sweeping new trade tariffs jolted global markets on Thursday, sparking a dramatic sell-off reminiscent of the pandemic-era crashes.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1) Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Co.</h3>
Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber was a bright spot on Thursday, rallying nearly 12% amidst all the chaos, making it the day&#8217;s top gainer.
Edison Yu, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, believes Goodyear to be <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44614534/5-car-stocks-that-will-benefit-from-trumps-liberation-day">a &#8216;relative winner&#8217; of Trump&#8217;s trade wars</a>, as most of its U.S. demand is filled with domestic manufacturing. As a result, it is less exposed to tariffs on imports, relative to peers in this industry.
Yu further adds that Goodyear&#8217;s focus on replacement tires, which make up 85% of its revenue, is set to benefit from the auto tariffs, as consumers will stick with their vehicles longer, leading to more tire changes. The stock has been upgraded to a &#8216;BUY&#8217; with a price target of $13, as <a href="https://www.investing.com/analysis/why-goodyear-tire-stock-is-a-relative-winner-amid-tariff-turmoil-200659060">reported</a> by Investing.com.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2) Lamb Weston Holdings Inc</h3>
Consumer staples were, in fact, only 1 of 11 sectors in the S&amp;P 500 to finish the day higher, as investors rushed to safe havens, and Lamb Weston Holdings was one of them, gaining 10%.
Analysts like Citi&#8217;s Filippo Falorni have long considered staples to be recession-proof and resilient in the face of uncertainty, telling the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/consumer-staples-gain-on-rush-to-safety-after-tariffs-spark-market-rout-45d2582b">Wall Street Journal</a> that investors can expect &#8216;stable earnings and revenue even in a tough environment.&#8217;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3) First Solar Inc</h3>
First Solar rallied nearly 5% on Thursday, being an American-made solar panel company, which allows it to dodge tariffs that apply to its competitors.
Chinese-made solar panels, which were the company&#8217;s biggest competitors, are now at a considerable disadvantage. <a href="https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/energy-business/why-is-first-solar-stock-soaring-while-much-of-the-market-sags/">Renewable Energy World</a> reports that investors in solar energy will seek to avoid the massive 54% tax on Chinese panels, while also earning the tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act, giving a strong impetus to First Solar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4) Dollar General</h3>
Investors likely pursued Dollar General as another recession-proof stock, being a major discount retailer with nearly 20,000 stores, leading to a 4% spike on Thursday, and an 18% rally since the beginning of March. 
However, this theory doesn&#8217;t hold up too well, as Billy Duberstein <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2025/04/03/dollar-general-rallied-18-in-march-market-crash/">writes</a> for the Motley Fool, that during the post-pandemic inflationary period, Dollar General was hit with an expensive combination of inflation hitting its low-income customers&#8217; purchasing power, along with a rise in theft. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5) American Water Works </h3>
A public utility that provides water and wastewater solutions, American Water Works is well insulated from global trade, tariffs, and geopolitics, making it the perfect safe haven stock.
People are unlikely to stop using water during a recession, and add to this, the stock offers an annualized yield of 2%, making it a great pick for those looking to overcome the tariff upheaval.
