Federal Reserve

Powell Says 'strong imports during the first quarter, reflecting attempts by businesses to get ahead of potential tariffs, are expected to weigh on GDP growth.'

Major indexes are lower, falling amid prepared remarks from Fed Chair Powell at the Economic Club of Chicago. Additionally, weakness in chips stocks is weighing on markets after NVIDIA said it was recently informed by the US government that it will need a license to export chips to China.

Last week, U.S.&nbsp;President&nbsp;Donald Trump disclosed plans for a &#8220;major tariff&#8221; on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">foreign pharmaceuticals</a>.
BofA Securities&nbsp;analyst said if the Trump administration plans to impose tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry, it would likely do so through a &#8220;Section 232 investigation&#8221; under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to determine whether importing certain goods threatens national security.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has launched an investigation into the potential national security risks posed by the country&#8217;s reliance on imported pharmaceuticals and key drug ingredients.
The probe, initiated under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, will examine the effects of these imports on the nation&#8217;s ability to produce essential medicines and respond to public health emergencies.
Announced on April 1, 2025, the investigation will evaluate a wide scope of pharmaceutical imports.

This includes finished generic and non-generic drug products, medical countermeasures, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), key starting materials (KSMs) and related derivative products.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-06587.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">goal</a> is to assess how these imports affect the integrity and resilience of the domestic pharmaceutical supply chain.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is seeking input from stakeholders as part of the investigation.
As per the Federal Register filing, key issues under review include current and future U.S. demand for pharmaceutical products and whether domestic manufacturing capacity can meet that demand.
There will be an examination of the role of foreign supply chains, particularly the extent to which U.S. pharmaceutical imports are concentrated among a small number of suppliers and the associated risks of such dependence.
Additional focus areas include the impact of foreign subsidies and potentially predatory trade practices on the competitiveness of U.S. pharmaceutical companies.
The department is also looking into concerns over artificially suppressed prices due to foreign state-sponsored overproduction and the risk of export restrictions by foreign governments that could be used to leverage geopolitical power.
The feasibility of expanding domestic manufacturing capacity to reduce reliance on imports and the effectiveness of current trade policies will also be evaluated.
The investigation could result in policy recommendations, including potential tariffs or quotas, to bolster the nation&#8217;s pharmaceutical security.
"AAM and the generics and biosimilars industry look forward to working with the Commerce Department and the White House to engage constructively on ways to incent more domestic investment in the medicines supply chain," <a href="https://accessiblemeds.org/resources/press-releases/aam-comments-on-section-232-investigation-on-pharmaceuticals/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> John Murphy III, president and CEO of the Association for Accessible Medicines, a trade association representing the manufacturers and distributors of generic prescription drugs.
&#8220;Tariffs, however, will only amplify the problems that already exist in the U.S. market for affordable medicines,&#8221; Murphy added.
"Without substantive regulatory and reimbursement changes to the U.S. market, tariffs will exacerbate shortages that hinder patient access today," he continued.

Dividend stocks are gaining attention as investors crave certainty and downsize protection following market volatility triggered by President Donald Trump's tariff announcement on April 2. Dividend stocks have proven their resilience in the past. The S&amp;P 500 High Dividend Index outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in the dot-com bubble and COVID-19 market crash, according to an <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/education/education-the-importance-of-dividends.pdf">S&amp;P Global</a> research report.
Earlier this month, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jqucki/account_update_6000month/">shared</a> his portfolio and income details on r/Dividends — a Reddit discussion board with over 700,000 followers.

The investor said he had been waiting to buy stocks on a pullback, and his chance finally came following the recent market selloff.
"What a bloody day today but it did hit the price target I have been waiting for. Now that I reached $6,000, now I am going to use this money to start buying more VOO and discounted tech stocks like Google, Amazon Microsoft, Broadcom, etc."
The investor said dividend investing is not a "get rich quick" scheme and it took him 20 years to reach this income milestone. He urged investors to "keep grinding until we don't have to."
"As long as you are consistent with your investment, you will also get there," he added.

Dividend Investor Making $6,000/Month Shares Portfolio; Bought More on Recent 'Bloody Day' Selloff — 'Keep Grinding Until We Don't Have To'

Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) shares moved lower on Wednesday, even as the company revealed a rugged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new addition to its SUV portfolio.</a>

It was unveiled at the 2025 New York International Auto Show and at the annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah.
The development comes just a day after chairman John Elkann warned that U.S. tariffs and stringent EU emissions regulations pose serious threats to the automotive sector as the company continues its hunt for a new CEO, per Reuters.

At the group&#8217;s annual shareholders&#8217; meeting, Elkann stated that the American and European automotive industries are facing significant risks due to burdensome tariffs and strict regulations, especially as competition from China intensifies, Reuters adds.
Production of the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer Overland Special Edition will be capped at 2,000 units.
The package adds $5,795 to the base Series II trim, bringing total pricing to $72,740 before destination charges of $2,095.
This latest version of the Wagoneer comes standard with large all-terrain tires, 20-inch alloy wheels, and the Quadra-Drive II 4&#215;4 system, which features a two-speed transfer case and electronic limited-slip differential.
Jeep also includes air suspension that can lift the vehicle to a 10-inch clearance, steel skid plates, and a host of advanced off-road modes to adapt to various conditions.
While its engineering is aimed at navigating tough landscapes, the Overland model also incorporates upscale touches. It features a black-painted roof, gloss-black accents, leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and the latest Uconnect 5 system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen.
