"Britain, Singed By Trump's Tariffs, Races For U.S. Trade Deal; A Measured Tone Has Set Britain Well Apart From Governments In Europe And Elsewhere Threatening Immediate Countermeasures Against The United States" - Washington Post

President Donald Trump publicly urged the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, but prediction market data shows that bettors remain skeptical the central bank <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44364688/feds-march-meeting-expected-to-signal-no-hurry-on-rate-cuts-as-powell-likely-to-tread-carefully">will act in May</a>.
What Happened: <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/fed-decision-in-may-2025">According </a>to decentralized forecasting platform Polymarket, 72% of market participants believe the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady at its next meeting on May 7, with only 24% pricing in a 25 basis point cut, and a mere 2.7% expecting a deeper 50+ bps reduction.
In a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump">post </a>on Truth Social on Friday, the former president pressed Fed Chair Jerome Powell to act, writing, "This would be a PERFECT time for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut Interest Rates… CUT INTEREST RATES, JEROME, AND STOP PLAYING POLITICS!" Trump cited lower inflation, falling energy prices, and stronger employment as justification for immediate easing.
However, the Fed appears in no rush to move. 
Chair Powell has repeatedly signaled caution, emphasizing the need for "greater clarity" before adjusting monetary policy. 
"It feels like the Fed does not need to be in a hurry," Powell said on Friday, adding that inflationary impacts from Trump's tariff package could further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates">complicate decision-making.</a>
"The tariffs are bigger than almost all forecasters expected," Powell noted, warning they could raise inflation in the coming quarters with "more persistent effects possible."

Wh It Matters: Bettors seem to be factoring in these mixed signals, balancing political pressure with Powell's message that the Fed still sees two cuts in 2025, but only once the economic outlook becomes more predictable.
Polymarket's trading data shows a sharp drop in the odds of a rate cut since late March, even as Trump's messaging intensifies.
The former president's comments reflect a broader push for looser monetary policy ahead of the election season. But markets are currently pricing in caution, not capitulation. 
Powell said that a year from now, uncertainty should be much lower as impact of Trump policies becomes clearer and that the Fed will wait for greater clarity before further adjustments.
Meanwhile, in a note sent to Benzinga, David Hernandez, Crypto Investment Specialist at 21Shares said Powell's comments follow right after Trump's call for rate cuts, highlighting the growing tension between political pressure and the Fed's cautious approach.
The Fed's caution may come at a cost though, as holding rates too high for too long could cause unnecessary economic stress, which could compound on heightened market volatility.
"With the next FOMC meeting still a month away, the possibility of an emergency rate cut cannot be completely ruled out. Equity markets might need this breather, but from the looks of it, Bitcoin may be a net beneficiary,&#8221; he said.

Shares of Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) fell 7% to $61.04 Friday afternoon as President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44647999/trumps-tariff-war-could-take-us-tech-industry-back-a-decade-while-china-steam-rolls-ahead-analyst-says">reciprocal tariffs</a> sparked a sell-off in financial markets and stoked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/04/44650039/where-is-the-sp-500-headed-after-trump-tariffs-provoke-dramatic-plunge">growing concerns</a> about a potential global economic slowdown.
As one of the largest U.S. banks, Wells Fargo is significantly exposed to the risks associated with rising trade tensions. Tariffs pose a threat to economic growth, business confidence and consumer activity—all of which are essential to the bank's profitability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind the Slide?</h3>
Wells Fargo generates a substantial portion of its income from traditional lending, including consumer and commercial loans. A slowdown in economic activity due to tariffs could weigh heavily on loan demand and interest income, particularly if inflation rises <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">while growth stalls</a>.
At the same time, businesses facing uncertainty may scale back expansion plans, leading to weaker demand for commercial credit—a core segment of Wells Fargo's operations.
In addition, the bank's wealth and investment management division, which benefits from stable markets and investor confidence, could come under pressure if volatility continues to rattle sentiment. A sustained market pullback might also affect asset management fees and reduce customer activity.

Investors can gain exposure to&nbsp;WFC by&nbsp;investing&nbsp;in the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NASDAQ">XLF</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy WFC Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Wells Fargo &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Wells Fargo, which is trading at $60.65 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 1.65 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Shares of travel and tourism-related companies are trading lower as global markets continue to decline following President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Shares of Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) plunged 7.5% to $34.42 Friday afternoon as President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping reciprocal tariffs sent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates">shockwaves</a> through financial markets, fueling fears of a potential global economic downturn.
As the second-largest U.S. bank by assets, Bank of America finds itself particularly exposed to these <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/04/44643100/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-after-the-worst-selloff-since-2020-tariff-announcement-was-100-smoot-hawley-disguised-as-thoughtful-policy-says-expert">escalating trade tensions</a>. Rising tariffs threaten to slow economic growth, dampen corporate lending and curb consumer spending—three critical pillars of the bank's revenue.
What's Driving the Decline: Bank of America, which derives a significant portion of its revenue from interest income on loans and mortgages, now faces heightened concerns that tariffs could trigger inflation while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">stalling economic activity</a>. 
If businesses pull back on expansion due to trade uncertainty, demand for corporate credit could weaken, impacting the bank's lending operations.
Additionally, Bank of America's investment banking division—which profits from mergers, acquisitions and capital market activities—could take a hit if market volatility persists. 
Heightened uncertainty and global trade disruptions may deter companies from pursuing major deals, further squeezing the bank's fee-based income.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BAC Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Bank of America&#8217;s case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, BAC has a 52-week high of $48.08 and a 52-week low of $33.67.

Shares of Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) have tumbled 14.5% to $16.33 since Monday&#8217;s open as President Donald Trump&#8217;s new reciprocal tariffs sent shockwaves through global markets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44647678/nasdaq-100-enters-bear-market-dow-in-correction-territory-traders-await-fed-chair-powells-remarks">stoking concerns</a> of an economic slowdown that could hit the travel industry hard.
Why It Matters: As the world's largest cruise operator, Carnival is particularly vulnerable to economic downturns and rising operational costs—both of which are being amplified by the escalating trade war.
Operating renowned brands like Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Seabourn, Carnival depends heavily on discretionary consumer spending and international travel.
However, with tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">expected to drive up</a> prices on goods and services, vacation budgets may tighten, leading to weaker cruise bookings. At the same time, higher import costs for fuel, food and ship maintenance could further squeeze profit margins.
Bigger Risks Ahead?: Beyond cost concerns, retaliatory measures from key markets—notably the European Union—pose another significant risk. 
If trade tensions slow global economic growth, consumer confidence could erode, further pressuring demand for leisure travel.

Carnival Stock Is Down 14% This Week: What's Going On?

Wall Street's sell-off shows no signs of easing into the week's close, in what's shaping up to be the worst week for U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">equities since March 2020</a>.
The market's bleeding is now visible across the board: the Dow Jones has slipped into correction territory, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has entered a bear market after falling more than 20% from its highs.
Tech and semiconductor stocks have taken the brunt of the damage, following China's announcement of retaliatory tariffs of 34% on U.S. goods — a tit-for-tat move matching the rate once imposed by President Donald Trump.
The VIX index — also known as the &#8220;market fear gauge&#8221;&nbsp;— spiked 35% to 40 levels, heading for the highest daily close since October 2020.
Other countries are threatening retaliation, fueling fears of a broader global trade war that could disrupt supply chains and weigh heavily on the global economy.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) — a key proxy for the U.S. chipmaking industry — has plunged 16% this week, on track for its worst performance since September 2001 at the height of the dot-com crash.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) extended its losses by another 4.7% on Friday, heading toward its steepest two-day decline since 2013, as investors brace for potential revenue hits from the new Chinese tariffs.
Even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">a strong U.S. jobs report</a> — with 228,000 payrolls added in March, far above the expected 135,000 — did little to soothe nerves.
Hopes that Fed Chair Jerome Powell might strike a more dovish tone were dashed. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates">offered no signs of urgency to cut </a>rates, reiterating that the Fed is in no rush, and flagged inflation risks tied to tariffs. Powell stressed the importance of monitoring inflation expectations closely. 
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continued posting on Truth Social, touting the &#8220;great jobs numbers&#8221; and warning China against behavior it &#8220;cannot afford to do.&#8221; He again pressed Powell to cut rates, saying it's the "perfect time," but his words seem to be losing sway on Wall Street.
As stocks slumped, bonds notched their best day of the year thus far. The popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 2.1%. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note were down by 10 basis points to 3.94%.

President Trump Says Have Made Tremendous Progress On TikTok Deal; I Am Signing An Executive Order To Keep TikTok Up And Running For An Additional 75 Days; Hope To Continue Working In Good Faith With China; We Do Not Want TikTok To "Go Dark."; We Look Forward To Working With TikTok And China To Close The Deal

Alibaba Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) shares are trading lower Friday after China announced a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S.,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44645172/china-retaliates-with-34-tariff-on-all-us-imports-urges-trump-to-immediately-cancel-the-tariffs-calls-for-negotiation"> effective April 10. </a>
What To Know: China's finance ministry said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive">Trump&#8217;s recent tariffs</a> violate international trade rules and demanded the tariffs be canceled immediately. It called the U.S. measures unilateral and harmful to both countries' economies and global supply chains.
The announcement triggered a selloff in Chinese stocks trading in the U.S., with Alibaba among the hardest hit. The company is sensitive to cross-border tensions due to its international business exposure.
China imposed export restrictions on 16 U.S. companies, revoked export licenses for six others, and added 11 firms to its unreliable entities list, including drone maker Skydio. It also announced tighter controls on rare earth mineral exports.
The escalation follows comments from President Donald Trump, who said tariffs give the U.S. leverage and hinted they could be used in negotiations over TikTok and a BlackRock deal involving Chinese ports. Trump suggested China would respond to pressure to secure approvals on those issues.
Price Action: Alibaba shares were down 11.6% at $114.34 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>
