French President Emmanuel Macron sharply criticized powerful nations using tariffs as &#8220;blackmail&#8221; instruments on Monday, delivering his strongest rebuke as the European Union scrambles to reach a deal with the United States before a looming July 9 deadline.
What Happened: Speaking at the International Conference on Financing for Development in Seville, Spain, Macron called trade wars an &#8220;aberration&#8221; without directly naming Trump or the United States. His comments came as EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that &#8220;all options remain on the table&#8221; in ongoing negotiations with Washington.
According to Reuters, Macron said, &#8220;we need to restore freedom and equity to international trade, much more than barriers and tariffs, which are devised by the strongest, and which are often used as instruments of blackmail, not at all as instruments of rebalancing&#8221;
Trump unveiled sweeping global tariffs in April, threatening duties ranging from 10% to 50% on imports before partially reversing course with 90-day extensions. The current EU tariff structure includes 10% on most goods, 25% on automobiles, and 50% on steel and aluminum. Without a deal by July 9, all EU products could face 50% tariffs.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected Macron&#8217;s characterization, calling tariffs &#8220;an effective tool to rebuild U.S. manufacturing.&#8221; She said Trump &#8220;is going to do what&#8217;s right for our people and our country,&#8221; according to the report.
Why It Matters: The tariff dispute has already roiled European markets. In May, when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45585283/trump-tariff-threat-hits-europe-stocks-sink-as-50-duties-loom">Trump threatened</a> 50% EU duties, the Euro STOXX 50 dropped 3%, with major exporters taking heavy losses. Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) fell 6.1%, while luxury brands like LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), which derives 25% of revenue from the U.S., faced significant pressure.
Technology ETFs with European exposure, including the iShares Europe ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEV#NYSE">IEV</a>) and Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGK#NYSE">VGK</a>), remain vulnerable to escalating trade tensions. German software giant SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>) generates 40% of revenue from North America, while Dutch chipmaker ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) earns 20-25% from U.S. sales.
The UN trade agency warned Trump&#8217;s tariffs could devastate developing nations, with countries like Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar facing some of the highest levies. Macron specifically criticized imposing tariffs on nations &#8220;just beginning their economic takeoff.&#8221;
Internal EU divisions complicate negotiations. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46134994/eu-ready-for-a-deal-with-us-but-all-options-remain-on-the-table-says-von-der-leyen">German Chancellor</a> Friedrich Merz favors a swift, simple deal, while Macron argues that accepting imbalanced terms would undermine Europe&#8217;s long-term competitiveness. The French president previously urged European companies to suspend U.S. investments until clarity emerges.
EU officials have prepared a $108 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/05/45591555/trump-targets-eu-apple-with-tariff-threats-etfs-could-feel-the-heat">retaliatory package</a> targeting U.S. digital services and financial systems, echoing 2018 countermeasures that hit swing-state exports including bourbon and motorcycles. Major U.S. tech companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) faces regulatory scrutiny that could intensify amid trade tensions.
With eight days remaining before the deadline, both sides signal readiness to negotiate while maintaining hardline positions, setting up a high-stakes diplomatic and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46163327/trump-starmer-trade-deal-kicks-in-uk-luxury-cars-get-10-tariff-rolls-royce-engines-fly-duty-free-into-us">economic showdown</a>.

Emmanuel Macron Calls Tariffs 'Blackmail,'  White House Shoots Back Saying Trump Is 'Doing What's Right For Our People'

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio is sounding the alarm on what he calls an inevitable &#8220;debt/dollar crisis&#8221; unless U.S. policymakers confront the country's ballooning fiscal deficit with a mix of tax increases and spending cuts.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, Dalio criticized popular political promises such as &#8220;I promise to not raise your taxes&#8221; and &#8220;I promise to not cut your benefits&#8221; as being fundamentally at odds with the current fiscal reality of the U.S. budget.
&#8220;There is no way that the deficit/debt bomb problem can be sustainably dealt with unless there is a mix of tax revenue increases and spending decreases that are determined in a bipartisan way,&#8221; the former hedge fund manager says.

Dalio proposes a 4% increase in tax revenue combined with a 4% cut in federal spending, a balanced approach that he says would help restore the balance between debt issuance and demand, leading to less pressure on interest rates, which in-turn helps support the markets and the economy, while helping shrink the deficit.
He says that both Democrats and Republicans in Washington understand this, but have been unwilling to act due to &#8220;absolutist&#8221; politics and fear of electoral backlash. &#8220;To me, that&#8217;s a tragedy,&#8221; he says.

Why It Matters: The famed founder of Bridgewater Associates has constantly warned about the dangers of rising U.S. debt and the risk it poses to the economy and the U.S. Dollar. 
A month ago, he said that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45512063/ray-dalio-warns-against-decreasing-value-of-us-dollar-amid-mounting-government-debt-risks-are-greater-than-the-rating-agencies-are-conveying">risks of mounting U.S. debt</a> were greater than what was being conveyed by the credit rating agencies. 
Others have since echoed similar views, with Ross Gerber, of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, proposing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46112471/ross-gerber-touts-an-idea-to-cut-deficit-by-trillions-of-dollars-let-the-tax-cuts-expire-and-full-salt-come-back">let tax cuts expire</a> and restoring full State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions, to help slash the U.S. federal deficit by trillions of dollars.

Ray Dalio Says Politicians That Promise Not To 'Raise Your Taxes' Not Aligned With Preventing A 'Big' Debt, Dollar Crisis: 'To Me, That's A Tragedy'

Financial market commentator Robert Kiyosaki said Monday he would continue to accumulate Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) despite finding it &#8220;expensive&#8221; at $107,000 apiece.
What Happened: In an X post,&nbsp;Kiyosaki, the acclaimed author of &#8220;Rich Dad Poor Dad&#8221;, shared his experience with the apex cryptocurrency. 
He admitted to entering the Bitcoin market &#8220;late,&#8221; purchasing his first coin at $6,000. Despite initially considering this price steep, Kiyosaki now wishes he had invested more at that rate. 
&#8220;Today Bitcoin is $107,000 a coin. Again my mind says &#8216;That's expensive&#8217; but I am buying more,&#8221; he said.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">WHAT IS EXPENSIVE? I was late into Bitcoin. I waited too long….which may have been a good thing. I waited because I did not understand today's modern money. So I bought my first Bitcoin at $6000 a coin. It was expensive. Today I wish I had bought more at $6000. Today…
&mdash; Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) <a href="https://twitter.com/theRealKiyosaki/status/1939514749818925357?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 30, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The point he seemingly tried to convey is that what appears expensive today may be seen as cheaper in the future, a belief based on his conviction in Bitcoin&#8217;s long-term prospects.
&#8220;If and when Bitcoin's sells for $1 million a coin, I will once again be saying &#8216;I wish I had bought more,'&#8221; Kiyosaki said.
He encouraged others to invest, even if only in one Satoshi, stressing the value of accumulation rather than focusing on short-term price tags.

Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s bullish stance on Bitcoin comes amid his warnings of a potential global monetary collapse. Last week, he predicted a global debt bubble burst and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46045741/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-robert-kiyosaki-warns-of-global-debt-collapse-urges-buying-gold-silver-bitcoin">advised his followers</a> to invest in gold, silver and Bitcoin
While Kiyosaki is a staunch supporter of Bitcoin, his predictions should be taken with a grain of salt. Some of his past predictions were way off target.&nbsp;
He projected Bitcoin would hit $100,000 in June 2024, a level that the apex cryptocurrency hit six months later. On one instance, he even painted a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39198509/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-robert-kiyosaki-comes-up-with-another-bold-projection-bitcoin-wil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$350,000 price target</a>&nbsp;by August 2024.
Kiyosaki has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45508758/robert-kiyosaki-predicts-bitcoin-to-reach-250-000-buy-more-do-not-sell" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">projected Bitcoin to hit $250,000</a>&nbsp;within this year, attributing it to a potential collapse of the central bank system.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $107,161.21, down 1.29% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>

'Rich Dad Poor Dad' Author Robert Kiyosaki Says Bitcoin At $107,000 Is 'Expensive' But He's Still Buying More

Billionaire and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has renewed buzz of his political comeback amid criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill.
What Happened: "If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day," Musk said in a post on social media platform X on Monday.
The billionaire then went on to say that America needs other political parties to serve as "an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty," which would help Americans "actually have a VOICE," he said in the post.

Musk made a series of posts slamming the "insane spending" of the bill and outlined that the bill would increase the U.S. debt ceiling by $5 trillion. He also criticized the Republicans and Democrats by saying that America had only one party, "the porky pig party."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Musk also slammed the politicians who were in support of the bill and said that they will lose their primaries next year, "if it is the last thing I do on this Earth," he said in a post on X.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Why It Matters: The criticism follows the Senate Republicans&#8217; proposing a variety of spending cuts in the budget, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46163659/senate-republicans-propose-313-billion-cut-in-medicaid-spending-in-trumps-big-beautiful-bill">$313 billion cut in Medicaid</a>.

Elon Musk Staging A Political Comeback? Tesla CEO Sparks 'America Party' Buzz As He Slams Trump's 'Insane Spending Bill'

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46182769/what-happened-with-apple-stock-today">stock bump on Monday</a> shows just how eagerly investors are waiting for signs that the company is serious about artificial intelligence, according to Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster.
What Happened: Shares of Apple rose 2.03% on Monday — outperforming the broader Nasdaq — after a report emerged that the tech giant is exploring using large language models from OpenAI or Anthropic to power a revamped version of Siri by spring 2026.
Following this, Munster took to X, formerly Twitter, and said the "move is testimony to how low the investor AI bar is for AAPL."

Munster also said that &#8220;the iPhone bar is low.&#8221; Apple's biggest moneymaker is still the iPhone, but Wall Street analysts aren't expecting big growth: just 1% growth in iPhone sales in the financial year 25 and 4% the year after.
&#8220;The next few quarters should benefit from upgrades following that monster 39% iPhone growth in FY21,&#8221; he said.

Why It's Important: Wall Street has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45486193/why-is-apple-still-behind-on-ai-expert-dissects-reasons-behind-iphone-maker-lagging-likes-of-microsoft-and-amazon-despite-poaching-googles-ai-chief">been skeptical about Apple's AI strategy</a>, especially as competitors like Alphabet Inc.'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 Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), aggressively push new AI features.
Reports have also surfaced suggesting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041473/apple-eyes-perplexity-ai-acquisition-while-facing-shareholder-lawsuit-over-exaggerated-ai-progress-report">Apple was considering</a> a deal to acquire Perplexity AI. However, the startup says it has no information about any such discussions taking place.
Apple currently has a consensus price target of $231.44, based on the ratings from 32 analysts. The latest analyst ratings, from JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Wedbush, have an average price target of $245, indicating a potential upside of 19.26%.

Apple Investors Have Shockingly Low AI Expectations, Says Gene Munster — Siri Upgrade Rumors Alone Fueled A 2% Stock Jump

Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) on Friday, alleging the warehouse retailer violated intellectual property rights by selling &#8220;knockoff&#8221; versions of its popular athletic wear.
What Happened: The Canada-based athleisure company accused Costco of selling unauthorized apparel that infringes on design patents for its ABC pants line, Define jacket collection, and Scuba zip-ups and hoodies, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/5377499-costco-accused-of-selling-knockoffs-of-popular-athleisure-brands-clothes-lawsuit/">reported</a> The Hill. Lululemon claims Costco &#8220;unlawfully traded upon Plaintiffs&#8217; reputation, goodwill and sweat equity&#8221; through these alleged knockoffs.
The lawsuit specifically targets items sold under Costco&#8217;s private-label Kirkland brand, suggesting the retailer may be intentionally confusing customers into believing Lululemon supplies the clothing. Lululemon seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction to halt the sale of the disputed products.
A Lululemon spokesperson told Reuters the company takes &#8220;the responsibility of protecting and enforcing our intellectual property rights very seriously.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The lawsuit comes as Costco faces investor scrutiny over recent performance metrics. The retailer reported $20.97 billion in May sales, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45801312/costco-stock-falls-nearly-4-after-may-sales-report-despite-solid-growth">up 6.8% year-over-year</a>, but shares fell nearly 4% after the announcement. U.S. comparable sales growth of 5.5% missed JPMorgan&#8217;s 7% estimate, marking a rare miss for the warehouse giant.
Costco <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/06/45981744/15-analysts-assess-costco-wholesale-what-you-need-to-know">operates over 600 U.S. warehouses</a>, holding more than a 60% market share in the domestic warehouse club industry. The company&#8217;s membership-based model relies on high-volume sales at thin margins, making private-label products crucial for profitability.
Recent analyst coverage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/06/45981744/15-analysts-assess-costco-wholesale-what-you-need-to-know">shows 13 of 15 analysts</a> rate Costco as Outperform or Buy, with an average price target of $1,084.47.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez alerted bullish traders about Bitcoin's potential rejection, supported by a Stochastic RSI &#8220;death cross."
"A move back to $100,000 is possible unless we get a sustained close above $109,000," Martinez stated.
A death cross is a bearish chart pattern that occurs when a security&#8217;s short-term moving average drops below its longer-term moving average.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slide Even As Q2 Turns Profitable For Crypto: Analyst Warns About Decline In BTC If The Apex Coin Doesn't Close Above This Level

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says the biggest threat to U.S. capitalism isn't foreign competition but "three Wall Street investment firms," he claims, now dominate corporate America.
What Happened: "It's not only income and wealth inequality that bothers me, it's concentration of ownership," Sanders told Joe Rogan in a recent sit-down.
&#8220;In virtually every sector … you got a handful of giant multinationals controlling that sector." He urged listeners to &#8220;check it out on Google," adding that the trio of asset-management giants &#8220;combined are the major stockholders of 95% of American corporations.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div>
</figure>
"That's power," he exclaimed.
Academic studies back part but not all of Sanders' claim. Research by economists Jan Fichtner and others <a href="https://business.gmu.edu/news/2025-02/power-passive-investors-double-edged-sword">finds</a> the "Big Three" are the largest single shareholders in about 40% of all U.S.–listed companies and 88% of the S&amp;P 500. Other analysts put their combined stake at nearly 20% of total U.S. market capitalization, not 95%.

Sanders argues concentrated shareholding lets a handful of executives steer wages, prices and even politics. "They are now owned by Wall Street firms," he said, contrasting today's dispersed retail ownership with the era when "somebody actually owned General Motors."
Why It Matters: Sanders, during the course of the same podcast, also told Joe Rogan that his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46106134/bernie-sanders-shares-first-thing-he-would-do-as-president-and-it-could-be-a-jab-at-elon-musk">top presidential priority</a> would be campaign-finance reform. He wants public funding to replace "billionaires" bankrolling elections, which he says "rejects the will of the American people."
Rogan and Sanders also attacked the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46109126/the-minimum-wage-in-this-country-is-ridiculous-says-joe-rogan-asks-how-do-you-live-off-7">$7.25 federal minimum wage</a>, calling it impossible to live on; Sanders noted he is fighting to raise it to $17 an hour. Rogan illustrated the problem with a $25 sandwich that would cost a minimum-wage worker 3½ hours of labor.
Both men argued that technology's gains have bypassed workers, with Sanders pointing out real wages trail those of 52 years ago despite soaring productivity. To spread the benefits of automation and AI, Sanders champions his "Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46089330/bernie-sanders-slams-job-cuts-says-ai-should-give-workers-more-time-off-instead-of-throwing-you-out-on-the-street">trimming the workweek</a> without cutting pay so people gain time for family, learning and purpose.

Bernie Sanders Warns Of 'Concentration of Ownership' In US Companies: 'That's Power'

On Monday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to a question on whether he was willing to replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair.
What Happened: &#8220;I will do what the President wants,&#8221; Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday, when asked about the likelihood of him heading the Central Bank after Powell&#8217;s term ends in May 2026.
He said, &#8220;I think I have the best job in D.C.,&#8221; pointing to the ongoing momentum within his department surrounding tax cuts, trade deals and major economic policies, while acknowledging that the administration was actively weighing options for Powell&#8217;s replacement.

According to Bessent, an announcement on this could come as early as October or November, while he also highlights an upcoming vacancy on the Federal Reserve Board in January, suggesting that it could play into the succession plan.
&#8220;There's a seat opening up, a 14-year seat opening up in January,&#8221; Bessent said. &#8220;So we've given thought to the idea that perhaps that person would go on to become the chair when Jay Powell leaves in May.&#8221;
When asked about the appointment of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46131630/trump-appointing-a-shadow-chair-at-the-fed-has-put-dollar-under-pressure-meanwhile-china-is-dumping-the-greenback-and-hoarding-gold">a &#8220;Shadow Chair&#8221;</a> ahead of Powell&#8217;s departure, Bessent played down the concerns, replying, &#8220;Not necessarily. We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Tensions have been flaring between Trump and Powell for the past several months, leading to growing concerns regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44999600/feds-independence-could-disappear-in-a-week-says-economist-ken-rogoff-as-trump-thinks-hes-smarter-th">the Fed&#8217;s independence</a>.
Early this week, Trump once again called Powell a &#8220;stupid person&#8221; and &#8220;a bad person&#8221; for keeping interest rates &#8220;artificially high,&#8221; while arguing that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46165110/donald-trump-calls-fed-chair-jerome-powell-a-bad-person-who-keeps-rates-artificially-high-says-benchmark-should-drop-by-half">benchmarks should drop</a> to &#8220;1% or 2%.&#8221;
Trump further proposed a &#8220;bills over bonds&#8221; approach to dealing with the high interest rates on long-term debt, which involves the Treasury issuing more short-term debt at low interest rates, over longer duration bonds. 
This received quick <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46163670/trumps-bills-over-bonds-strategy-can-spell-doom-for-the-dollar-warns-craig-shapiro-got-gold-bitcoin">pushback from macro experts</a> such as Craig Shapiro, who say that such a move could spell doom for the U.S. Dollar.
Economist Nouriel Roubini has criticized Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44941184/roubini-trump-wants-a-rate-cutbut-powells-restraint-is-the-only-thing-saving-him-from-a-market-meltdown?_gl=1&#x2A;1yhww1y&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;OTU0MzA1MzE4LjE3NDcwMTIxNDM.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;ZGVsZXRlZA..&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;czE3NTEzMzUyMTUkbzI3MyRnMSR0MTc1MTMzNTkzNiRqMTEkbDAkaDA.">attacks against Powell</a>, calling it &#8220;a repeated own goal,&#8221; since even if he got his way, it would only lead to higher bond yields, owing to the &#8220;de-anchoring of inflation expectations.&#8221;
Price Action: The 10-Year Treasury notes trade at 4.216%, the 30-Year at 4.759%, and the 2-Year at 3.721%. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) continues to test newer lows, trading at 96.774, down 11.57% since the beginning of Trump&#8217;s second term.

Scott Bessent On Replacing Powell As Fed Chair: 'I Will Do What The President Wants' — Plays Down Shadow Chair Speculations

On Monday, Jesus "Jay" Malave was officially announced as Boeing Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46182764/boeing-announces-cfo-transition-shares-volatile-after-hours">incoming Chief Financial Officer</a>, succeeding Brian West.
With an impressive background in finance and leadership across major aerospace and defense companies, Malave brings a wealth of experience to the aerospace giant.
Here are some key facts about the man now overseeing Boeing&#8217;s financial strategy.
Background
Malave was born to Puerto Rican immigrants in Hartford, Connecticut. His father served as a U.S. Postal Service supervisor and his mother worked as a nutritionist at a local hospital. Growing up in Newington, a small town with a blend of blue-collar and white-collar families, Malave <a href="https://www.ctinsider.com/business/article/CT-native-leads-finances-for-Lockheed-Martin-17457260.php">shared</a> with CT Insider in 2022 that he developed a strong appreciation for diversity and hard work from an early age.

Personal Life
After graduating, Malave met his future wife, Janine, that summer as she was pursuing a career in education. Janine would later become a teacher and department head at Maloney High School in Meriden. The couple married in 1994 in Windsor, where Janine grew up.
Education
Malave attended the University of Connecticut, where he started with engineering but later switched to mathematics, earning his Bachelor&#8217;s degree in 1991. He furthered his education with a Master's in Accounting from the University of Hartford, later adding a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Connecticut School of Law.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Professional Life
Malave's career began with the U.S. Department of Labor, where he investigated Equal Employment Opportunity cases. At the time, United Technologies owned major companies like Pratt &amp; Whitney, Sikorsky, Hamilton Standard, Carrier and Otis.
Malave told the publication that after noticing his work at the Department of Labor, UTC approached him with a human resources position, offering the chance to transition into accounting or finance after a year. Pratt &amp; Whitney quickly presented him with an entry-level job handling expenses and cash. He worked his way up, eventually becoming CFO of UTC Aerospace Systems.
His next big leap came when he joined L3Harris Technologies in July 2019 and later Lockheed Martin in January 2022. In both companies, he held the role of chief financial officer.
In addition to his extensive executive roles across major aerospace and defense companies, Malave also serves on the Board of Directors for GE Vernova
Now Boeing
On Aug. 15, 2025, Malave will transition to Boeing as the company&#8217;s new CFO. Malave takes the reins at a time when Boeing is navigating global challenges and seeking to strengthen its position in the aerospace market.
The news of his appointment followed a 2.34% drop in Boeing's shares during Monday's regular trading session, after reports surfaced that U.K. antitrust authorities have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46180869/whats-going-on-with-boeing-shares-today-5">officially opened an investigation</a> into the company's proposed $4.7 billion takeover of fuselage manufacturer Spirit AeroSystems.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Boeing shares remain on an upward trajectory across short, medium and long-term timeframes. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More in-depth performance details are available here</a>.

Robinhood, Apple, Oracle, Plug Power And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Macro strategist Raoul Pal commended Robinhood Markets&#8216; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) decision to launch tokenized stock offerings on Monday, describing it as &#8220;democratization of finance.&#8221;
What happened: In an X post, Pal was reacting to a video of Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev introducing the so-called "stock tokens," which will allow users in Europe to gain exposure to U.S. private companies such as SpaceX and OpenAI.
"The end of public vs. private markets is beginning. Capital formation too is more efficient in crypto markets. Lending markets too," Pal said.&nbsp;
The former Goldman Sachs executive deemed it as &#8220;democratization of finance&#8221; and predicted that the trend would only accelerate from here.

Raoul Pal Says Robinhood Letting Users Trade OpenAI, SpaceX Through Blockchain Is 'Democratization Of Finance' — End Of Public Vs Private Markets Has Begun

On Monday, Cathie Wood&#8217;s Ark Invest executed significant portfolio adjustments, prominently acquiring shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) while reducing positions in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>).
The AMD Trade Ark purchased 356,275 AMD shares across Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) funds, reinforcing confidence in the chipmaker&#8217;s positioning within the AI infrastructure race. For the day, AMD stock closed at $141.90, making the transactions worth $50.55 million.
This follows AMD&#8217;s recent volatility as it navigates supply-chain dynamics and intensifying competition in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46102073/whats-going-on-with-amd-shares-today">accelerated computing markets</a>. Recently, the chipmaker announced a new collaboration with HCLTech. The two companies intend to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46102073/whats-going-on-with-amd-shares-today">set up joint innovation labs</a> dedicated to advancing solutions in AI, digital infrastructure, and cloud computing. The Coinbase Trade
Ark sold 124,892 Coinbase shares across ARKK, ARKW and ARKF ETFs despite Bernstein&#8217;s recent $510 price target and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46112072/coinbase-is-the-amazon-of-crypto-services-price-target-boosted-to-510-bernstein">&#8220;Amazon of crypto&#8221; endorsement</a>. On Monday, Coinbase stock ended the day at $350.49. The sale by ARK was valued at $43.77 million.
The reduction coincides with Wood&#8217;s observation that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46161157/bitcoin-investors-faced-mortgage-hurdles-due-to-crypto-tied-assets-says-cathie-wood-wont-be-surprised-if-they-were-to-shift-some-of-their-btc-to-coinbase">face mortgage hurdles</a> with crypto-backed assets, potentially driving capital toward regulated exchanges like Coinbase. This strategic trimming occurs even as Ark maintains Coinbase as its second-largest portfolio holding at 8.84%.

Cathie Wood's Monday Moves: Loads Up On AMD Stock, Lightens Coinbase Crypto Bet

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg once shared his bold vision, indicating that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44599475/meta-is-planning-to-drop-1000-smart-glasses-to-disrupt-apples-ar-ambitions-report">virtual and augmented reality</a> would one day replace mobile phones as the dominant computing platform. Now, nearly a decade later, how close is Meta to achieving that future?
What Happened: In a 2015 interview at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit, Zuckerberg, after Facebook&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/05/27485415/4-largest-acquisitions-by-facebook-oculus-instagram-and-more">over $2 billion acquisition</a> of Oculus.
When asked why he decided to buy the company, Zuckerberg said, &#8220;Every 10 or 15 years, there's a new computer platform that comes along," referring to mainframes, PCs, the web, mobile and then the virtual and augmented reality.
He described the transition from traditional computing systems, where users needed a degree to operate them, to the more user-friendly and natural mobile platform.

However, Zuckerberg believed mobile devices, while revolutionary, are not the ultimate endpoint. The future, according to him, lies in the next major computing platform: one that integrates directly with vision.
The Meta CEO stressed that the future of technology would be about capturing real-life moments in a "more natural" and immersive way, such as sharing experiences with loved ones through virtual reality rather than traditional still photos or 2D videos.

Why It's Important: A decade after Zuckerberg's initial prediction, Meta's investment in virtual and augmented reality, particularly through its Oculus headsets (now branded Meta Quest), has been a central focus of the company's strategy.
However, despite substantial investments, Meta still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35477023/after-lower-sales-of-quest-2-led-to-loss-at-reality-labs-meta-reportedly-cuts-quest-3-shipment-forec">faces significant hurdles</a> in delivering on this &#8220;more natural&#8221; computing experience. In fact, it is widely believed that the tech giant sells Quest headsets at a loss, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/04/facebooks-oculus-acquisition-turns-10/">according</a> to TechCrunch.
In January, Meta discontinued its $999 Quest Pro headset after it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42842141/meta-discontinues-999-quest-pro-shifts-focus-to-affordable-quest-3">failed to gain traction</a>, and now redirects customers to the more affordable Meta Quest 3, which sells for $499.99.
At the same time, in October 2024, it was reported that Ray-Ban and Meta's smart glasses became the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41458752/metas-smart-glasses-dominate-ray-ban-stores-ai-features-still-missing">top-selling product in 60%</a> of Ray-Ban stores across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
The current Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses don't include a built-in display — instead, they offer voice commands, a camera, and speakers for calls and media playback. However, reports have emerged that Meta is working on a third-generation version that could feature an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42659936/meta-plans-display-equipped-ray-ban-glasses-by-2025-aiming-to-replace-smartphones">integrated visual display</a>.
Last year, Meta also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41032461/meta-unveils-new-ai-features-quest-3s-llama-3-2-holographic-orion-glasses-at-connect-2024-we-are-get">showcased its prototype</a> Orion AR headset, designed to blend digital elements seamlessly into the real world. Meta also launched the $299 Quest 3S, marketing it as an affordable option for gaming, workouts and watching movies in VR.
In its latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45117948/meta-q1-earnings-eps-beat-revenue-up-16-ai-approaches-1-billion-monthly-actives-capital-expenditures-forecast-raised">first-quarter earnings</a> report, the company revealed that Reality Labs, its division responsible for products like the Quest VR headsets and Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, generated $412 million in revenue, slightly down from $440 million in the same period in 2024.
Despite this revenue, the segment continued to operate at a significant loss, reporting an operating loss of $4.2 billion in the first quarter, which widened from a loss of $3.8 billion a year earlier.
Meanwhile, other major players are pushing into the same space. Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Vision Pro, which hit the U.S. market in February 2024 with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41499682/apple-to-cut-vision-pro-production-cheaper-model-expected-in-2025-report">hefty starting price</a> of $3,499. Alphabet Inc.'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 and Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) have also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43168435/google-taps-htcs-talent-in-250-million-deal-to-lead-ar-vr-innovation">teamed up on a mixed-reality headset</a> called Project Moohan.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Meta's shares continue to trend upward over 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 performance insights can be found here</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Once Predicted That This Technology Would Replace Your Phone — A Decade Later, How Far Is Meta From Delivering On A 'More Natural' Future

Women are poised to hold a significantly larger share of global wealth in the coming years, with notable differences in how they manage and grow their financial assets compared to men.
According to a McKinsey <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/financial-services/our-insights/the-new-face-of-wealth-the-rise-of-the-female-investor">report</a> published in May, women currently control about one-third of all retail financial assets in the U.S. and the European Union. That figure is projected to rise to between 40% and 45% by 2030. The analysis is based on a survey of approximately 13,000 U.S. and European investors, nearly half of whom were women.

Between 2018 and 2023, global wealth increased by 43%, while the share held by women rose by 51% during the same period, according to the report. The report attributes the trend to several factors, including declining marriage rates, rising average incomes for women, longer life expectancies, and shifting financial attitudes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Approach to Risk</h2>
Women tend to approach investing with more caution than men, according to experts cited by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/women-rising-wealth-investment-style-men-female-investors-risk-emotion-2025-6">Business Insider</a>. Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen, co-founder of financial education platform Female Invest, said women are "much more risk-aware" and less likely to act on emotional impulses when trading.
"On average, men trade a lot more often than women because they believe they can beat the market or they read something in the news," Hartvigsen told Business Insider. She added that women investors are generally more realistic in their self-assessments and exhibit greater consistency.
While cautious investing can help manage volatility, Katie Geery, an advisor at Rise Private Wealth Management, said that it can also limit exposure to higher-return opportunities. Geery advised working with financial advisors who understand risk tolerance and can guide clients toward well-informed investment decisions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investing With Purpose</h2>
Women investors are also more likely to focus on specific outcomes rather than maximizing returns, according to the report. Avanti Shetye, a financial planner at Wealthwyzr, told Business Insider that women often invest with goals in mind, such as family planning or retirement security.
Geery noted that women are often more inclined toward values-based investing, incorporating factors such as philanthropy and environmental or social concerns into their portfolios. "Women often seek financial advisors who are empathetic and take the time to get to know them on a more personal level," Geery said.
Hartvigsen said Female Invest members prioritize factors like a company's carbon footprint and board gender balance, often using climate impact and leadership diversity as key criteria when evaluating investments.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Emphasizing Long-Term Planning</h2>
Starting early remains a key recommendation for women looking to secure long-term financial health. Shetye told Business Insider that women are more likely to take time off work for caregiving responsibilities and live longer on average, both of which increase the need for early and consistent investment.
Hartvigsen echoed that view, recommending systematic monthly investing and diversification. "If you do that, historically, it has been near impossible not to make money in the long run," she said.
Both Shetye and Hartvigsen emphasized the importance of working with financial planners who prioritize education and build strategies based on individual goals.
"You are never going to know everything there is to know about investing," Shetye told Business Insider. "The key is consistency, and time will do the heavy lifting."
