A few thematic and leveraged ETFs shone last week, posting solid gains as other markets retreated due to worries over geopolitics and macroeconomic uncertainty. Across the spectrum, from biotech and streaming to crypto and transportation, some funds flashed decent returns.
T-Rex 2X Long DJT Daily Target ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJTU#BATS">DJTU</a>) jumped 33.5%, the week&#8217;s best performer as the Dow Jones Transportation Average recovered on Thursday.
Defiance Daily Target 2X Long LLY ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLYX#NYSE">LLYX</a>) rose 22.3% as Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) shares soared 11.34%. Investors remain optimistic about the company&#8217;s blockbuster weight-loss and diabetes medications, which continue to drive revenue growth and provide robust forward guidance.
Direxion Daily NFLX Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFXL#NASDAQ">NFXL</a>) gained 8.8%, echoing the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering"> robust quarterly performance</a> of Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). The streaming behemoth surpassed Wall Street expectations, with the increase in its ad-supported plan and better content performance providing bulls a reason to rejoice.
SPDR Galaxy Digital Asset Ecosystem ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECO#NASDAQ">DECO</a>) gained 5.5% as stabilizing Bitcoin prices and increasing institutional interest in digital asset infrastructure supported it. Favorable sentiment in the overall crypto market helped support the fund&#8217;s holdings in blockchain and crypto-exposed assets.
Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTY#NYSE">MSTY</a>) increased by 3%, taking advantage of MicroStrategy&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) solid performance and consistent returns earned from its options-based income strategy based on Bitcoin.
These ETF profits were impressive compared to the broader market&#8217;s losses during the last holiday-shortened week.
What Happened In The Markets Last Week
Markets were rattled by fresh geopolitical tensions and hawkish central bank commentary. The largest drag was from the technology sector, following Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) announcement that it had been informed by the Trump administration that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44886016/nvidias-do-not-enter-sign-caught-in-a-category-5-tariff-storm">exports of its H20 AI chip to China </a>would need a license. The firm warned that the export controls would lower earnings by $5.5 billion, pushing its shares down 8.5%. The news also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44799456/chip-shock-3-hot-semiconductor-etfs-to-watch-as-trumps-tariff-bomb-ticks">affected the wider chip industry</a>, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) losing 3%—its seventh loss in the last eight weeks.
Earnings were mixed. While banks and Netflix reported positive results, UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) surprised markets by cutting its full-year forecast. The stock lost 22.4% in one session—the worst one-day decline for the insurer since 1998.
On the trade side, Canada temporarily paused counter measure tariffs on critical U.S. imports to relieve cross-border supply chain stress—most notably helping Midwest-based auto manufacturers.
Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell again expressed reluctance to cut interest rates, citing lingering inflation and risks to trade-driven growth. President Donald Trump condemned the move, calling Powell &#8220;always too late&#8221; and threatening to fire him before his term ends in May 2026. Trump spoke against a backdrop of irritation over the European Central Bank&#8217;s sixth consecutive interest rate reduction, further amplifying the divergence of monetary policies in developed nations.
Against this background of policy uncertainty and volatility, gold was the shining star. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) jumped to an all-time high of $3,330 per ounce, recording gains in 14 of the last 16 weeks, as investors flocked to the yellow metal for safety.
While headwinds beset the overall market, last week&#8217;s ETF action highlights where momentum—and investor confidence—is still present.

As of April 14, the Social Security Administration rolled out new anti-fraud policies aimed at protecting beneficiaries, but the changes have left many Americans confused, anxious, and scrambling to verify their identity in person. For those who rely on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44829975/joe-biden-calls-social-security-a-sacred-promise-slams-trump-administrations-efforts-to-damage-the-program-theyre-shooting-first-and-aiming-later">Social Security</a> as their primary source of income, the fear of missing even one payment is causing serious concern.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Changing With Social Security's Anti-Fraud Efforts?</h2>
The SSA now uses enhanced technology to detect suspicious activity in phone-based applications for benefits. If a claim raises red flags, the individual will need to verify their identity in person at a local field office. In addition, beneficiaries can no longer change their direct deposit information by phone — a move the agency says is necessary due to high levels of fraud tied to those calls.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a></li>
</ul>
The SSA has stated that about 40% of direct deposit fraud cases come from people calling in to change their bank details. Going forward, any changes must be made online through the "my Social Security" portal or in person at an SSA office.
"We are modernizing how we serve the public — enhancing both security and accessibility," Acting Commissioner of Social Security Leland Dudek said in a <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/news/press/releases/2025/#2025-04-12">press release</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Many Beneficiaries Are Alarmed — and Taking Action</h2>
Despite the SSA's intention to make the process safer, many Americans misunderstood the changes. Some believed they had to verify their identity in person regardless of whether they were flagged for fraud. This led to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44063062/thousands-face-longer-waits-as-social-security-offices-close-see-the-affected-locations">long lines at field offices</a> and overwhelmed phone lines.
Kevin Jochems, a 62-year-old cancer patient from Colorado, went to his local SSA office last month, fearing he might lose his only source of income if he didn't act. "Even missing one monthly benefit would put me on step to homelessness," Jochems told <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/14/politics/social-security-changes-fraud/index.html">CNN</a>. He was turned away without help and later disconnected while calling the agency's main phone line.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Others, like 66-year-old Matt Koob in Florida, are worried about the impact these changes could have when they file for benefits in the near future. "They're telling people, ‘We will want you to do it in person, but we're not going to let you in the building,'" he told CNN.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Policy Reversals Added to the Confusion</h2>
Initially, the SSA announced it would stop taking phone applications for retirement and other benefits, requiring people to apply online or in person. That decision was met with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44585316/social-security-administration-relaxes-id-verification-rules-after-backlash-from-lawmakers-and-a">backlash from advocates</a> who said it would disproportionately affect older Americans who aren't tech-savvy or who have mobility issues.
After public concern and internal pushback, the SSA reversed course twice. Now, applications by phone remain available for all programs. Only those flagged for potential fraud must appear in person.
"Telephone remains a viable option to the public," the agency said <a href="https://x.com/SocialSecurity/status/1909710597324964065">on X</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Advocates Call the Revisions a Win for Seniors</h2>
Groups like AARP applauded the updated guidance. "SSA's guarantee of phone access for claims is a win for older Americans," <a href="https://www.aarp.org/social-security/planned-id-verification-requirements-eased.html">said</a> Nancy LeaMond, executive vice president at AARP.
But even with the reversals, not all SSA employees were brought up to speed in time. Union officials told CNN that SSA staff received new training videos just days before the rollout and had only hours to review them, leaving many unsure how to help confused beneficiaries.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
While the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44476777/ssa-announces-service-upgrades-and-new-identity-verification-measures-what-it-means-for-you">SSA's anti-fraud measures</a> are designed to protect the integrity of the system, the rollout has revealed gaps in communication and support. For Americans living paycheck to paycheck, the fear of losing even one Social Security payment is real — and the agency's challenge now is to balance fraud prevention with accessibility and clarity.

American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AREC#NASDAQ">AREC</a>) shares are trading higher on Monday after the company&#8217;s subsidiary disclosed a significant expansion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/ac44892837/american-resources-corporations-reelement-technologies-expands-rare-earth-oxide-production-in-nob" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of its operational equipment</a>.
This move aims to meet rising demand for domestically sourced rare earth oxides.
The recent expansion highlights the adaptable and modular design of ReElement Technologies Corporation&#8217;s refining platform, allowing the company to swiftly scale operations to meet rising demand for high-purity, U.S.-produced rare earth oxides.
Phase 2 of the growth initiative—spanning design, installation, and commissioning—was completed in under three weeks and has effectively doubled the facility's output of finished rare earth materials.
Work is already underway on a third phase, with equipment expected to arrive within two months.
Once operational, this phase is anticipated to triple the facility&#8217;s production capacity compared to Phase 2.
The expansion will notably boost daily refining volumes of key rare earth elements such as neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium.
Jeff Peterson, COO of ReElement Technologies said, &#8220;By investing in and leveraging our innovative refining technology, our Noblesville facility is able to rapidly scale to meet the unprecedented customer demand we are seeing from our growing customer base.&#8221;
Mark Jensen, CEO of ReElement Technologies, said the site was not originally intended to be commercial.
Growing customer demand following recent global trade shifts makes it an &#8220;essential part&#8221; of the company&#8217;s operations, he explained. 
&#8221;This latest expansion highlights the flexibility of our platform and our ability to efficiently respond to increasing demand for high-purity rare earth oxides,&#8221; he said.
Last week, the company unveiled a new rare earth leaching solution to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44867603/american-resources-stock-is-surging-thursday-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">extract value from&nbsp;coal and mine waste</a>.
The company plans to deploy the leaching solutions across its properties and license units to landowners and mining operators across the globe.&nbsp;The leachate produced will then be supplied to&nbsp;ReElement Technologies&nbsp;as feedstock to be refined into "ultra-pure" rare earth products for domestic and allied-nation magnet manufacturers.
Price Action: AREC shares are up 10.1% at $1.420&nbsp;premarket at the last check Monday.
