Jim Cramer took a jibe at President Donald Trump in premarket on Tuesday as the stock futures rose amid the President&#8217;s criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates.
What Happened: Cramer, in an X post, highlighted that investors &#8220;would actually buy this rally,&#8221; if Trump did not criticize Powell for &#8220;being prudent about rates.&#8221;

&mdash; Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) <a href="https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1914586898745487377?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 22, 2025</a></blockquote>

Meanwhile, senior economist Jeremy Siegel highlighted in his weekly note that Powell will be blamed for any issues arising from Trump&#8217;s policy decisions. &#8220;I expect Trump to increasingly blame the ‘too slow Powell' for any downsides that materialize from Trump's policies. Powell may be technically secure in his position, but that doesn't mean he's insulated from blame.&#8221;
While Powell&#8217;s term as the Fed Chair ends in May 2026, Trump&#8217;s economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, told reporters at the White House on Friday that Trump and his team would "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888232/trumps-top-economic-adviser-kevin-hassett-says-white-house-is-exploring-options-to-fire-fed-chair-jerome-powell-the-president-and-his-team-will-continue-to-study">continue to study</a>" whether Powell could be fired.
However, before Trump&#8217;s call for preemptive rate cuts, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described Fed independence in <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-17/trump-says-fed-chair-powell-s-termination-can-t-come-fast-enough">deciding on monetary policy</a> as a &#8220;jewel box that has got to be preserved,&#8221; last week in a Bloomberg Television interview.
Joseph Wang, the CIO at Monetary Macro, said in a post that &#8220;Trump will get his Fed Chair sooner or later,&#8221; indicating the damage it could cause to U.S. dollar and equities.
&#8220;Foreign investors are heavily exposed to U.S. equities and will need reduce exposure, especially as the dollar no longer strengthens in risk-off. They have a lot to sell,&#8221; he said.

This triggered a sharp selloff in the U.S. equities as it threatened the independence of the central bank.
After Monday&#8217;s close, the Nasdaq 100 was down 19.86% from its all-time high of 22,222.61 points. The S&amp;P 500 index was 16.09% lower than its previous record of 6,147.43 points, and the Dow Jones was 18.09% below its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points.

Bank of America Securities&nbsp;(BofA) has reaffirmed its Buy rating on&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) stock, maintaining a steady price target of $225.00.
What Happened: BofA Securities has maintained its Buy rating on Amazon, even as the e-commerce giant continues to trade at an increasing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio discount relative to Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>). The firm highlighted that Amazon is currently valued at 23 times its estimated 2026 GAAP P/E, <a href="http://Investing.com">reported</a> Investing.com.
Amazon&#8217;s recent underperformance against Walmart and&nbsp;Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) was attributed to factors such as&nbsp;higher exposure to the Chinese market and a smaller emphasis on grocery sales. However, Amazon&#8217;s cloud computing arm, AWS, was mentioned as a potential drag on the company&#8217;s valuation.
BofA Securities also highlighted mixed investor sentiment, ranging from short-term optimism following Amazon CEO Andy Jassy&#8216;s recent interview to worries about how tariffs and a possible economic slowdown could affect the company&#8217;s retail and advertising businesses.
Despite these concerns, BofA Securities maintains confidence in Amazon&#8217;s strategic position. By reaffirming its Buy rating, the firm signals an ongoing optimistic view of the company's stock performance.

Why It Matters: Amazon&#8217;s stock has been under pressure in recent times. Year-to-date, the company&#8217;s shares fell over 24% and the stock took another hit when an analyst from Raymond James <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44903087/amazon-stock-downgraded-price-target-slashed-as-tariffs-create-uncertainty">downgraded </a>the stock from Strong Buy to Outperform on Monday and lowered the price target from $275 to $195, well below the Street&#8217;s average of about $255.
Further, Amazon followed in the footsteps of Microsoft and paused some of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44914250/amazon-follows-microsofts-lead-halts-some-data-center-deals-executive-says-routine-capacity-management">data center</a> leasing talks, especially in international markets. This move, coupled with the tariff-induced uncertainty, has led to concerns about the company&#8217;s future performance.
Amazon holds a Growth rating of 94.13% and a quality rating of 68.24%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

An engineer who was laid off from Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has successfully transitioned into a career in artificial intelligence prompt engineering, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32722982/high-paying-chatgpt-careers-30-of-companies-seek-nontech-professionals-for-300-000-salaries">field at the forefront of the latest tech trends</a>.
What Happened: Kelly Daniel, previously with Meta, transformed her layoff into a career pivot toward AI prompt engineering, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/21/ai-prompt-engineer-how-i-rebounded-after-getting-laid-off-from-meta.html">reported</a> on Tuesday. This field was relatively unknown at the time of her transition, and is still evolving as companies begin to recognize and integrate these skills.
After being laid off, Daniel was determined to stay in tech. She researched roles that valued her journalism and tech partnership background, focusing on companies resilient to industry layoffs.
She took a contract role at LinkedIn on the news team, contributing to generative AI projects. This experience with emerging tech gave her an edge in job applications.
Her curiosity and collaborative approach stood out as she edited and rated AI outputs, offering feedback and identifying key themes. This opened doors to deeper involvement in AI.
Daniel also gained practical skills like Python, common in prompt engineering roles. Combined with her experience, this helped her land her current position as a prompt director at an AI startup.

Why It Matters: In March, Chamath Palihapitiya, a well-known investor and former Facebook executive, predicted that engineers would soon have only supervisory roles as AI advances, calling coding skills increasingly obsolete. He advised parents to steer children toward subjects like philosophy and writing, reflecting a broader shift in what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44528268/chamath-palihapitiya-agrees-you-should-no-longer-learn-to-code-says-parents-should-advise-their-kids-to-focus-on-these-subjects-instead?utm_source=chatgpt.com">skills will matter most in an AI-driven world</a>.
The rise of AI has also led to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32722982/high-paying-chatgpt-careers-30-of-companies-seek-nontech-professionals-for-300-000-salaries">emergence of prompt engineers</a>, who train the large language models to provide accurate and useful responses to users.
These roles often do not require a traditional <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32323519/you-dont-need-coding-experience-or-a-tech-background-to-land-this-ai-job-paying-well-over-6-figures">tech background or coding experience</a>, opening up opportunities for professionals from diverse backgrounds to enter the tech industry.
