A new study finds that President Donald Trump's tariff policies are landing hardest on the nation's poorest households, with the bottom income decile bearing the brunt of the economic fallout.
What Happened: On Sunday, Yale University&#8217;s The Budget Lab, a non-partisan policy research center, unveiled <a href="https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/state-us-tariffs-june-1-2025">its</a> report titled &#8220;State of U.S. Tariffs,&#8221; assessing the impact of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs across American households and industry. 
The report, which analyzes all U.S. tariffs and foreign retaliation measures implemented through June 1, calculates short-run consumer losses before households shift their spending habits, as they often do in response to shifting market and price dynamics.

However, even after the substitution effect kicks in, the study finds a lasting impact on household purchasing power, with consumer prices up 1.3%, and the average American family facing $2,200 in additional annual expenses.
&#8220;Tariffs are functionally a regressive tax,&#8221; the report states, as its findings point to a steep gradient in burden across income brackets. This means that lower-income households are losing a much bigger share of their income to higher prices than those in the higher brackets.
While the second decile also faces a severe reduction in disposable income, wealthier households are far less affected. The top 10% of earners see only a 1% hit, or about $5,000, but as a share of income, the impact is relatively modest.
Clothing, shoes, and vehicle prices have seen the sharpest increases so far, according to the report. Footwear is up 31%, and new vehicle costs have climbed by over $6,000 on average. 
The Yale team has modeled these effects under a &#8220;policy in perpetuity&#8221; assumption, meaning all 2025 tariffs are assumed to remain indefinitely, even those officially labeled temporary.
Beyond households, the macro impacts are mounting, with the report estimating that U.S. GDP will shrink by 0.5 percentage points in 2025, and job losses are expected to reach 376,000 by the end of this year.
Why It Matters: The report is rather tame this time around, with The Budget Lab forecasting a 64% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/04/44860532/trumps-tariff-hikes-on-clothing-wont-clobber-shoppers-right-away-heres-why">rise in apparel prices</a> over a month ago, just weeks after the tariffs were announced. It now pegs the figure at 28%. 
Economists on Wall Street are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45353863/new-inflation-data-hits-tuesday-why-it-could-kill-fed-rate-cut-hopes">broadly in consensus</a> that the annual headline inflation rate will remain above 2.4%, ahead of the Fed&#8217;s 2% target for initiating rate cuts, largely attributed to April&#8217;s tariff shock.

Trump's Tariffs Hit Poorer Households The Hardest: Yale's Budget Lab Finds 2.5% Drop In Disposable Income For Bottom Decile

The U.S. Vehicle Suppliers Association has called for immediate measures to address China&#8217;s limited rare earths exports, warning of potential disruptions in auto parts production.
What Happened:&nbsp;The Motor &amp; Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) issued a statement on Wednesday, urging prompt action to resolve the issue of China&#8217;s&nbsp;restricted exports of rare earths,&nbsp;minerals, and magnets. The association warned that the situation could quickly disrupt the production of auto parts,&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;reported.
China, which dominates more than 90% of the world's rare earth processing capacity, imposed export restrictions in April, mandating that companies secure licenses from Beijing. These measures came in response to a trade war that began when President Donald Trump introduced tariffs on Chinese goods.
The MEMA, in its statement, highlighted the &#8220;serious, real-time risks&#8221; faced by parts companies due to the unresolved situation.&nbsp;The association stressed the immediate need for strong action to avoid major disruptions and economic consequences throughout the vehicle supplier industry.
The report states that the U.S. auto industry is already experiencing the effects of these restrictions. In May, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) was forced to suspend production of its Explorer SUV at its Chicago plant for a week due to a shortage of rare-earth materials.

During early May, auto suppliers and trade groups representing major automakers, including General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Toyota Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), Volkswagen and Hyundai, warned that Chinese restrictions on key materials could seriously disrupt the production of essential automotive components.

The WWDC 2025 keynote is scheduled for Monday, June 9, at 1 p.m. ET. Viewers can watch the livestream on Apple's website (apple.com), the Apple TV app and the company's official YouTube channel.
What To Expect
Apple is expected to unveil iOS 19 for the iPhone, along with updates to its full suite of operating systems, including iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. While last year's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39245542/dont-miss-apples-wwdc-2024-keynote-how-and-where-to-watch-on-june-10">event spotlighted Apple Intelligence</a>—a new suite of AI-powered features—this year's focus is expected to shift toward core software enhancements and developer tools.

Following the keynote, Apple will host its annual "Platforms State of the Union" address, offering a deeper dive into new technologies. The week will feature over 100 technical sessions, as well as group and one-on-one lab sessions for developers.
Spotlight On Students
As part of its ongoing commitment to education, Apple will invite 50 winners of its Swift Student Challenge to attend the event in person at its headquarters in Silicon Valley.
Why It's Important: Despite its status as the third most valuable company in the world right now, with a market cap of $3.029 trillion, Apple has taken a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45716470/nokia-was-worth-40-times-more-than-apple-25-years-ago-when-the-legendary-nokia-3310-was-launched-7-years-later-steve-jobs-ended-the-era-of-dumb-phones-is-the-writing-on-the-wall-for-cupertino-as-i">more cautious approach</a> to the rapid rise of AI that is transforming the tech landscape.

In contrast, competitors such as Alphabet'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, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and emerging players like OpenAI are moving quickly to roll out AI-powered tools for both consumers and businesses.
Previously, it was reported that Apple is unlikely to stage a major AI comeback at WWDC 2025. Apple is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45712700/apples-ai-struggles-to-keep-pace-with-rivals-ahead-of-wwdc-2025">aiming for a stronger AI showing</a> at WWDC 2026, but delaying progress is risky given how fast competitors are advancing.
The most notable AI-related update this year will be the opening of Apple's Foundation Models to third-party developers.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Apple is experiencing a negative price trend across the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed metrics are available here</a>.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has recorded over 13,060 new insured registrations in China as Elon Musk's automaker builds upon its growth in the Chinese market in May.
What Happened: "$TSLA China reported 13,060 insured registrations for the week of May 26-June 1," Future Fund LLC's managing director, Gary Black, said as he shared the data on X on Wednesday.
Tesla's registrations experienced a +2.6% QoQ surge in the 9 weeks. However, the sales are still down -21.4% when compared with last year, the post said.
Black reiterated Tesla's strong may performance. "This was the highest week of the quarter so far," the investor said in the post.

Why It Matters: The data follows Tesla's growth in sales during May in China, with the company recording over 11,000 registrations in the country for two consecutive weeks. The company also saw a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739130/elon-musks-tesla-defies-european-slump-with-norway-sales-growth-in-may-model-y-comes-to-the-rescue">surge in Norwegian sales</a>, largely driven by the new Model Y.&nbsp;
The data, combined with the growth in Norway, could prove to be a silver lining for Musk's EV giant, which has been struggling with lackluster sales in various markets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/06/45736798/tesla-sales-hit-3-year-low-in-this-european-nation-despite-musks-claims-of-no-demand-problem">experiencing record lows</a>.
Elsewhere, the company is also gearing up to launch its Robotaxi on June 12 in Austin.

Elon Musk's Tesla Records Over 13,000 New Registrations In China, Highest Weekly Total This Quarter

As the Nasdaq 100 index is nearly 2% away from its all-time high, analysis suggests that it&#8217;s &#8220;easier to digest&#8221; the index&#8217;s premium valuation given the growth optimism for 2025 and 2026.
What Happened: According to Adam Turnquist, the chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, the Nasdaq 100&#8217;s forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio at 26.6 was above its 10-year average P/E of 22.0.
&#8220;However, a jump in expected operating margins from 18.0% in 2024 to 23.8% in 2025 and 25.6% in 2026 makes the premium valuation easier to digest (along with the AI-themed tailwinds),&#8221; explained Turnquist.
Apart from this, he highlights that the buying pressure on the index was also &#8220;widespread,&#8221; as only eight stocks are lower since the April 8th low, while the average gain for the rest of the index has been about 25% in the same period. 
From a technical perspective, Turnquist suggests that the index&#8217;s &#8220;Momentum remains bullish after the recent reset from overbought levels.&#8221; The Nasdaq 100 has rallied out of a bear market in less than two months.
This recovery was a result of the administration's pivot to delay reciprocal tariffs in April, progress in trade negotiations, and strong tech earnings, which revealed no signs of a slowdown in artificial intelligence demand or related capital expenditure spending.
&#8220;The NDX vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart recently bounced off support and recaptured the 50-/200-dmas. A breakout above the July 2024 highs would indicate a new uptrend is developing, favoring NDX leadership ahead,&#8221; said Turnquist.

Why It Matters: According to the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, was trading above its short and long-term simple daily moving averages.
Its relative strength index at 58.97 was in the neutral territory, whereas its MACD line of 3.90 was above the signal line, suggesting that its 12-day exponential moving average was above its 26-day EMA.
These technical indicators signaled a largely bullish trend for QQQ.

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 QQQ, which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended on a mixed note on Wednesday. The SPY was down 0.027% at $595.93, while the QQQ advanced 0.28% to $528.77, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
The futures of the S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones were lower on Thursday.

While investors stayed fixated on artificial intelligence and the mega-cap tech giants leading the charge over the past five years, a quiet outperformer emerged: a small-cap retailer selling plush toys and kids&#8217; accessories that has outpaced them all.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the founder of AI platform Bearly.AI, Trung Phan, highlighted this performance in a post on X.
The stock in question is Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc., which is known for its make-your-own stuffed animal stores, which have since become a staple in American malls.

In his post, Phan notes the dramatic performance gap between the stocks, despite the broader frenzy surrounding AI and digital transformation during this period. 
&#8220;Big Tech this, Big Tech that,&#8221; Phan says, pointing at the market&#8217;s obsession with these stocks, and yet the &#8220;big fluffy animal plush toys (Build-A-Bear)&#8221; managed to outperform big tech.
A few comments on Phan&#8217;s post credit Build-A-Bear&#8217;s rise to a shift in its strategy. According to Bryant Suellentrop, who runs a staffing agency, the company's pivot from marketing primarily to children toward engaging nostalgic adults with disposable income and access to a credit card played a key role in the stock&#8217;s surge.

Build-A-Bear Beats Big Tech: Plush Toy Retailer Outpaces Nvidia, Apple With Over 1,600% Returns In 5 Years

Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is facing a $109 million lawsuit from&nbsp;Eminem&#8216;s music publisher, Eight Mile Style, for alleged copyright infringement.
What Happened:&nbsp;Eight Mile Style, the company that manages Eminem&#8217;s early catalog, has&nbsp;filed a lawsuit against Meta&nbsp;Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp,&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/eminem-music-publisher-eight-mile-style-is-suing-meta-for-copyright-infringement-for-109-million-11747831">reported</a>&nbsp;PEOPLE. The lawsuit accuses Meta of copyright infringement and seeks damages of over $109 million.
The lawsuit, which does not name Eminem as a party, claims that Meta's platforms—such as Original Audio and Reels Remix—allow users to use music owned by Eight Mile Style without proper licensing or credit. It also alleges that the songs have appeared in millions of videos and have been streamed billions of times. The music publisher is demanding $150,000 for each of the 243 songs allegedly used on Meta&#8217;s platforms, totaling $109.35 million in damages.
A Meta spokesperson, according to the publication, said the company has been negotiating in good faith with Eight Mile Style and expressed disappointment that the publisher chose to sue rather than continue discussions.
Eight Mile Style is also alleging a &#8220;diminished&nbsp;value of the copyrights by&nbsp;Defendants' theft of them, lost&nbsp;profits, and Defendants' profits attributable&nbsp;to the infringement.&#8221;&nbsp;The company is pursuing financial compensation, including the maximum amount allowed under the law.

Why It Matters: Meta Platforms is currently facing a series of legal challenges. In April, the company was preparing to battle an antitrust lawsuit with the U.S. government&#8217;s antitrust watchdogs, a case that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44780047/mark-zuckerbergs-empire-in-jeopardy-as-meta-faces-antitrust-battle-in-court">potentially force</a>&nbsp;Zuckerberg to divest Instagram.
Moreover, in May, an Austrian advocacy group, NOYB, issued a &#8220;cease and desist&#8221; letter to Meta, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45406329/austrian-group-questions-metas-legitimate-interest-in-using-eu-data-for-ai-threatens-legal-action-over-200-billion-making-money-is-more-important-than-the-rights-of-its-users">threatening to seek</a> an injunction and&nbsp;potentially leading to billion-euro damages claims&nbsp;over the company&#8217;s plans to use Europeans&#8217; personal data for AI training. 
These legal challenges, combined with the recent copyright infringement lawsuit, add to the mounting legal pressure on Meta Platforms.
Meta holds a momentum rating of 87.91% and a growth rating of 92.78%, according to Benzinga's Proprietary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Edge Rankings</a>. The Benzinga Growth metric evaluates a stock&#8217;s historical earnings and revenue expansion across multiple timeframes, prioritizing both long-term trends and recent performance.
On a year-to-date basis, Meta stock surged 14.8%.
