The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Thursday, with the S&amp;P 500 recording gains during the session driven by better-than-expected earnings from Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
A federal court has invalidated global tariffs enacted by President Donald Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a move that could reshape future U.S. trade policy.
Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) shares fell around 7% on Thursday after the company posted downbeat results for the first quarter. Shares of Caleres Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAL#NYSE">CAL</a>) dipped 18% after the company reported first-quarter financial results and missed its adjusted EPS and sales estimates. Additionally, the company announced it will suspend its guidance.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims rose by 14,000 from the previous week to 240,000 in the week ending May 24th, compared to market estimates of 230,000. The U.S. economy shrank at an annualized rate of 0.2% in the first quarter, compared to the initial estimate of a 0.3% decline.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with utilities, real estate and health care stocks recording the biggest gains on Thursday. However, communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.

The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect.

Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) is eliminating one of its most generous loyalty program benefits as part of CEO Brian Niccol&#8216;s broader strategy to improve profit margins and reposition the coffee chain as a premium brand.
What Happened: Beginning June 24, Starbucks will end its 25-star bonus for customers using personal reusable cups, replacing it with double stars on entire orders, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/29/food/starbucks-rewards-reusable-cup-stars-changes">reported</a> CNN, citing a Starbucks spokesperson. The current system, implemented in 2022, allowed customers to quickly accumulate points toward free items at the 100-point redemption level or premium offerings requiring 200-400 stars.
Under the new structure, customers ordering single beverages will receive fewer total stars. A $4 medium iced coffee in a personal cup currently earns over 30 stars when paid through the Starbucks app, but will drop to approximately 15 stars next month. However, customers with larger orders benefit from the double-star system across their entire purchase. The company maintains its $0.10 discount for reusable cup usage.

Why It Matters: This change represents Niccol&#8217;s latest effort to reduce discounts and promotions following weaker-than-expected earnings. The company reported comparable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45104438/starbucks-stock-tumbles-on-q2-earnings-ceo-says-progress-is-happening-below-the-surface">store sales down 1% globally</a>, with U.S. sales declining 2% in the second quarter.
Analysts remain skeptical about the company&#8217;s resilience amid economic headwinds. Guggenheim analyst Gregory Francfort noted that as a discretionary purchase, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45090652/starbucks-says-simple-everyday-luxury-is-here-to-stay-as-people-still-want-small-indulgences-amid-belt-tightening">Starbucks faces pressure</a> if consumer conditions deteriorate.

The leadership reshuffle at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues as Steve Davis, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk's longtime lieutenant, departs following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">billionaire's exit announcement</a>.
What Happened: The White House confirmed Thursday that Davis, who managed daily operations at DOGE, has stepped down, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/steve-davis-leaves-doge-411a2d1b?mod=tech_lead_pos2">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal.
Davis played a central role in executing Musk's cost-cutting vision, overseeing staffing decisions and guiding a team of engineers embedded in federal agencies.
He is also the president of The Boring Company and had reportedly planned to pivot toward modernizing outdated government systems after the initial phase of budget cuts.

His sudden departure surprised DOGE staffers, some of whom said he was actively engaged with the agency earlier this week, the report noted.
Another DOGE leader, Brad Smith, has also transitioned back to the private sector, the report added, citing two individuals familiar with his departure. Smith, a healthcare executive, previously served at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Why It's Important: President Donald Trump announced Thursday night that he will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45685893/trump-says-he-is-having-elon-musk-over-at-the-white-house-tomorrow-for-a-press-conference-as-billionaire-exits-government-this-will-be-his-last-day-but-not-really">host Musk at the White House</a> on Friday at 1:30 P.M. EST. &#8220;This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way.&#8221;
Musk's departure from DOGE comes amid increasing scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest and declining Tesla sales.
In an interview earlier this month, the billionaire admitted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45637814/elon-musk-admits-he-spent-too-much-time-on-politics-after-tesla-sales-decline-in-multiple-regions">he may have spent too much time on politics</a>, describing his involvement in government affairs as a matter of poor time allocation.

Elon Musk's Long-Time Lieutenant Exits DOGE As Tesla CEO Steps Down From Government Work: Staffers At Agency Surprised

Former Vice President Mike Pence reminded lawmakers that the U.S. Constitution gives Congress, and not the president, authority to levy tariffs.
What Happened: Pence took to X to urge Capitol Hill to "take immediate steps to reclaim their constitutional authority on tariffs," implicitly challenging President Donald Trump's push for blanket levies of up to 10 percent on all imports and as high as 60 percent on Chinese goods.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The Constitution gives Congress the power to levy taxes and tariffs.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Pence wrote that the president "has no authority in the Constitution to unilaterally impose tariffs without an act of Congress" and that lawmakers must "restore the power to levy tariffs back to the American people." He hyperlinked a National Review column from April, where he warned that delegating trade powers "violates the founders' intent."
Backing up Pence&#8217;s call, Article I of the Constitution does vest the tariff and tax power squarely in Congress, though lawmakers have long ceded flexibility to the White House through statutes such as Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act and Section 301 of the Trade Act. Legal scholars note that the courts have usually upheld those delegations, but according to a Reuters report, pressure is rising after a string of rulings that trimmed Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45663058/trump-wrong-to-claim-unlimited-power-to-impose-tariffs-says-legal-scholar-economists-also-breathe-sigh-of-relief-after-tariffs-blocked-by-court">use of emergency powers</a> to tax imports.

Why It Matters: The Federal Court's decision to strike down Trump‘s tariffs, however, could have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45667775/trumps-tariff-refund-could-cost-us-10-billion-with-2-month-end-rebalance-impact-on-equities-in-case-of-an-appeal-uncertainty-is-back-front-and-center">broad effect</a> on the economy, stock market and individual companies, which were starting to settle with the idea of higher duties. However, as things stand, an appellate court has granted the Trump administration a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45683326/trump-tariffs-temporarily-preserved-as-appeals-court-pauses-lower-ruling">temporary stay</a> of a lower-court ruling that invalidated most of the President's tariffs.
Pence isn&#8217;t the only former Trump administrator with a say on Trump&#8217;s current trade policies. Former White House adviser Larry Kudlow asserts that the United States is "China's best customer," but economist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45334935/peter-schiff-rejects-larry-kudlows-claim-that-china-is-falling-apart-without-us-says-we-have-actuall">Peter Schiff counters</a> that ballooning U.S. debt lets Beijing finance American consumption.
Goldman Sachs economist Alec Phillips suggested Thursday that the Trump administration could shift its focus to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45672421/tariffs-blocked-by-court-but-goldman-sachs-says-trump-could-reimpose-them-within-days">sector-specific tariffs</a>, which Section 232 of the Constitution firmly supports.

Mike Pence Wants Congress To Take 'Immediate Steps' To Reclaim Constitutional Power On Tariffs, Says Trump 'Has No Authority...'

Years after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32382643/ex-meta-employee-oculus-founder-raves-about-apples-so-good-arvr-headset">a controversial split</a>, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Palmer Luckey are teaming up again—this time to equip U.S. soldiers with next-gen combat headsets.
What Happened: On Thursday, Meta and Luckey-led defense tech startup Anduril Industries announced a partnership to develop rugged VR/AR headsets for the U.S. Army.
The new system, called EagleEye, is designed to enhance soldiers' senses using AI, allowing for advanced capabilities like drone detection and target identification, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/meta-army-vr-headsets-anduril-palmer-luckey-142ab72a?mod=tech_lead_pos4">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal.
The devices will combine Anduril's autonomous software with Meta's AI models. "I finally got all my toys back," said Luckey, referring to the partnership giving him access to VR designs he helped pioneer before being fired by Facebook, now Meta, in 2017.

Meta and Anduril have jointly submitted a bid for an Army contract worth up to $100 million, the report said. The deal would mark Meta's most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45483220/money-spigot-thats-never-going-off-meta-reportedly-hiring-ex-pentagon-officials-as-they-target-defense-contracts">significant collaboration with the Pentagon</a> and is part of a larger $22 billion Army initiative to modernize military wearables.
Notably, the companies say development is continuing regardless of whether they win the bid. "This is way too important of a capability for the United States military to let the last vestiges of a decade-old pissing contest get in the way," said Luckey.
In a statement, Zuckerberg said the EagleEye technology would support U.S. soldiers in protecting "our interests" both domestically and internationally.

Why It's Important: In 2014, Facebook acquired Luckey's virtual reality startup Oculus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/05/27485415/4-largest-acquisitions-by-facebook-oculus-instagram-and-more">for $2.2 billion</a>. However, just two years later, the relationship fractured when Luckey faced backlash over a political donation, ultimately leading to his departure in 2017.&nbsp;
Last year, Luckey visited Meta's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41084112/mark-zuckerberg-says-orion-is-probably-going-to-be-the-next-major-platform-after-phones-metas-new-ar">headquarters to test</a> its Orion AR glasses. Following the visit, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41269578/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-and-oculus-founder-palmer-luckey-mend-fences-the-people-responsible-arent-even">issued a public apology</a> for past comments, which Luckey accepted, noting Meta had undergone major leadership changes.
Zuckerberg also praised Luckey, saying he respects his contributions to VR and success beyond Oculus. Luckey responded positively, signaling openness to working with Meta again.
Luckey's Anduril was valued at $28 billion earlier this month, while Meta currently has a market cap of $1.6 trillion.
Price Action: Meta shares slipped 0.70% in after-hours trading, closing at $640.52, per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, META maintained a strong price trend across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes. The stock ranked 86.82% for momentum, while its value score stood at 35.17%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More details are available here</a>.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) executive Eddy Cue stated that, for the first time in over two decades, Safari had experienced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45339953/apple-exec-says-iphone-users-are-ditching-google-search-now-chamath-palihaptiya-urges-the-tech-giant-to-stop-waiting-for-data-and-start-fighting-models-like-chatgpt">decline in search volumes</a>, which he attributed to the rise of AI-driven searches.
In response, Pichai pushed back, saying the data doesn&#8217;t show a downturn in overall activity. "We've been very clear. We're seeing overall query growth in search."

"There can be a lot of noise in search data, but everything we see tells us that we are seeing query growth, including across Apple's devices and platforms," Pichai added.
He attributed much of the increase to new user behaviors driven by AI features like Search Generative Experience (SGE), adding, "The query growth is continuing to grow over time."
Pichai also framed the evolving search landscape as additive rather than competitive. "It feels very far from a zero-sum game to me," he said, drawing comparisons to how YouTube thrived even after TikTok's rise.

Why It's Important: During his testimony, Cue said Apple is actively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45259675/apple-alphabet-shares-tumble-amid-potential-ai-search-shift">exploring the integration</a> of an AI-powered search engine into Safari, considering options from OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity AI.
Meanwhile, Google at the developer conference <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45537306/google-unveils-total-reimagining-of-search-with-chatbot-style-feature-to-compete-with-openai">rolled out a new "AI mode"</a> in its Search and Chrome browser for all U.S. users. The feature provides a conversational, Q&amp;A-style experience, resembling ChatGPT and replacing the conventional list of search result links.
In April, Alphabet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">posted first-quarter revenue</a> of $90.23 billion, marking a 12% increase from the previous year. The figure surpassed the Street consensus estimate of $89.2 billion, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Revenue from Google Search came in at $50.7 billion, exceeding the expected $46.2 billion.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Alphabet has received a growth score of 88.56%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other companies</a> like Apple.

Apple May See Fewer Searches In Safari, But Google CEO Sundar Pichai Insists AI Is Fueling Overall Query Growth: 'Far From A Zero-Sum Game'

Matt Cole, CEO of Strive Asset Management, publicly called on tech behemoth Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) on Wednesday to buy Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) for its balance sheet.
What happened: Cole dialed the company from the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, listing the benefits of adding Bitcoin to corporate reserves.

"The reality is that the corporate balance sheet in cash and short-term reserves is losing its ability to generate value for shareholders almost every single day," Cole said, citing a "global fiat debt crisis." Cole also highlighted potential disruptions from artificial intelligence over the next ten years.
Cole addressed Mark Zuckerberg, stating that the CEO had already done step one by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/05/21051620/facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-sparks-bitcoin-speculation-as-he-reveals-the-name-of-his-pet-">naming his goat &#8220;Bitcoin.&#8221;</a>&nbsp;
&#8220;You have already done step one. You have named your goat Bitcoin,&#8221; Cole stated. &#8220;My ask is that you take step two and adopt a bold corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy," Cole added.
Meta didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment.

Mark Zuckerberg Already Made It To 'Step 1' By Naming His Goat Bitcoin — Now Investor Dials Meta To Ask Him To Add BTC To Company's Reserves

To deny that healthcare giant UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) is struggling would be to categorically ignore reality. Since the start of the year, UNH stock dropped more than 41% of market value, an ignominious decline for a blue chip. At the same time, because it's such a revered name (at least prior to the controversies), investors may be tempted to buy the dip.
Presenting a deep dive into the problems impacting UNH stock would take volumes of printed literature. In a nutshell, the sector juggernaut lost nearly $140 billion of market capitalization following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45558758/as-unitedhealth-group-lost-an-unthinkable-140-billion-in-market-cap-since-april-analysts-weigh-in-on-the-path-ahead">series of awful news items</a>, including downbeat first-quarter results, CEO Andrew Witty stepping down from the helm and a potential criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.
Analysts expressed shock at the dramatic paradigm shift. "This is a stock that every growth-oriented portfolio manager in the world owned for a decade and made money on it like clockwork," said Whit Mayo from Leerink Partners. "It&#8217;s stunning. It&#8217;s unthinkable," the expert added.
Subsequently, many traders have also rushed for the exits and have largely decided to stay on the sidelines. Currently, UNH stock is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45627855/whats-going-on-with-unitedhealth-stock-today">trading below key moving averages</a> — common benchmarks to gauge market health. Further, other indicators used by technical analysts, such as the Relative Strength Indicator and the Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD) broadcast deflated momentum.
Still, not everything is pointed in the negative direction. Fundamentally, UnitedHealth added 700,000 new clients in the latest quarter thanks to the vertical integration of UnitedHealthcare and Optum. And while there are legitimate concerns regarding rising healthcare costs and heightened regulations, bullish investors note that UNH stock is undervalued, trading at <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/?tblci=GiBHQ5jGSz2tTIA8W0d9W_RJMHgkmUPdKPzylaI48Ac4RiCN1Vcomc3V5NGfyeiJATDviEo">12.85 times forward earnings</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buy-the-Dip Sentiments Could Potentially Boost UNH Stock</h2>
Recently, an investor wrote on the popular <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1kt8b8d/i_took_100k_from_our_house_sale_and_bought_303/?tblci=GiBHQ5jGSz2tTIA8W0d9W_RJMHgkmUPdKPzylaI48Ac4RiCN1Vcomc3V5NGfyeiJATDviEo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">r/wallstreetbets</a>&nbsp;subreddit that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45668906/americas-not-gonna-stop-getting-sick-says-investor-who-put-100k-into-unh-stock-his-wife-still-thinks-its-sitting-in-a-savings-account">bought $100,000 worth of UNH stock</a>, while deceptively telling his wife that he heeded her instructions to put the money somewhere safe. While there's a cautionary tale here regarding relational integrity, the point as it relates to UnitedHealth is this: investors historically have a tendency of buying the dip in UNH.
Social media isn't the only source for this claim. Following the implosion of UNH stock that started in April and continued into this month, insiders began loading up the truck. To be fair, insider trades aren't the end-all, be-all when it comes to investing decisions. Nevertheless, there's only one reason why insiders buy their own stock: simply, they believe that shares will move higher.
Adding to the intriguing framework is market breadth data, which is the analysis of accumulation (positive sessions) and distribution (negative sessions) patterns. Currently, UNH stock is riding a "3-7-D" sequence: three up weeks, seven down weeks, with a net negative trajectory across the 10-week period. Notably, in 68.75% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 2.09%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-932195" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Assuming that UNH stock closes around $297 by the end of this week, the bulls could theoretically push the price above $303 over the next week or two. Should the bulls maintain control of the market, they could drive the price toward the $308 to $310 range over the next several weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Aggressive But Rational Wager For UnitedHealth</h2>
Those willing to gamble on the potential near-term recovery of UnitedHealth may consider the 300/305 bull call spread expiring June 20. This transaction involves buying the $300 call and simultaneously selling the $305 call, for a net debit paid of $235 (the most that can be lost in the trade). Should UNH stock rise through the short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward is $265, or a payout of nearly 113%.
As a fair warning, the above trade is going to be tight because it ultimately comes down to how strong the response will be to the 3-7-D market breadth sequence. For those who want an extra time cushion, traders may consider the 300/305 bull spread for the July 3 expiration date. It's the same transaction but with an additional two weeks of margin.
Plus, the payout for the July 3 spread is quite high at nearly 105%. This defined-risk, defined-reward trade might be a more suitable idea than lying to a spouse about a six-figure investment.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is sounding the alarm on America's fiscal trajectory, placing the blame squarely on President Donald Trump and the GOP&#8217;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
What Happened: During his appearance on the Politics War Room podcast on Thursday, Summers criticized the lack of fiscal discipline in current Republican proposals, warning that the United States is on the verge of a crisis if current debt trends continue.
&#8220;We are not paying attention to the first law of holes. Stop digging,&#8221; Summers said, referring to the $36.9 trillion U.S. National Debt, and $1.83 trillion fiscal deficit. 
He believes that the country is not on a sustainable path right now, and adds that the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; is actually a prescription for &#8220;deadly, dangerous decline.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45686497/jamie-raskin-wants-trump-to-disclose-his-crypto-dinner-guest-list-says-foreigners-cant-donate-dollar-but-are-buying-access-to-president-through-memecoin">Jamie Raskin Wants Trump To Disclose His Crypto Dinner Guest List, Says Foreigners Can&#8217;t Donate Dollar But Are Buying Access To President Through Memecoin</a>
Summers, who served as the Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton and as the Director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, notes that the U.S. debt-to-income ratio is now three times higher than it was in 1993, when Clinton took office.
He cautioned that the fiscal outlook is even more dire than it was during the 2010 Simpson-Bowles deficit commission, when long-term budget reform was a bipartisan concern.
&#8220;The world's greatest debtor will not forever be the world's greatest power,&#8221; he says, adding that the U.S. is increasingly dependent on China to finance its deficits, something that he feels is &#8220;massively dangerous.&#8221;
This prompted his criticism of Trump&#8217;s calls to slash Internal Revenue Service enforcement, relying on tariffs instead, which Summers refers to as a regressive tax to raise revenue. &#8220;Is it really a good idea to push the price of a new car up by $4,000?&#8221; he asks, while warning that these policies stand to hurt consumers.
Summers concludes by drawing parallels between the current U.S. fiscal trajectory and that of the U.K. in 2022, calling it a setup for a &#8220;Liz Truss moment.&#8221; 
Here, he is referring to the short, chaotic reign of the former British Prime Minister, whose tenure came to an end following turmoil in the bond markets, triggered by similar unfunded tax cuts and fiscal missteps.

Why It Matters: Summers has referenced the &#8220;Liz Truss&#8221; moment for America <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45484394/gold-hits-3500-as-larry-summers-says-u-s-market-is-on-a-path-to-crisis-like-uks-2022-meltdown">several times in recent weeks</a>, while criticizing the Republican-backed &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
&#8220;I would have said a ‘Liz Truss&nbsp;moment' was very unlikely in the U.S. if you had asked me three months ago,&#8221; Summers said during a BBC Radio interview over a month ago, &#8220;now I think we're on a path towards having an episode like that,&#8221; he adds.
Macro analyst and founder of The Bear Traps Report, Lawrence McDonald, referred to the bill being passed by the Republican-controlled House as &#8220;smoking in the dynamite shed,&#8221; underscoring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45622854/trump-may-be-smoking-in-the-dynamite-shed-as-the-big-beautiful-bill-drives-bond-yields-higher">the major implications</a> of rates being higher for longer, such as the billions in unrealized losses now facing Japan&#8217;s top insurance companies.
Even Trump ally Elon Musk has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45635854/elon-musk-disappointed-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-undermines-the-work-that-the-doge-team-is-doing">criticized the bill</a>, saying that the legislation &#8220;undermines the work&#8221; that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been doing under his leadership.
The Director of the National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, however, claimed that the bill <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45678485/trump-economic-advisor-kevin-hassett-says-wed-have-had-a-recession-but-passing-of-one-big-beautiful">helps avert a recession</a>, and a loss of revenue for the government.
Price Action: U.S. 10-Year Treasury yields stand at 4.42%, with the 20-Year and 30-Year notes yielding 4.92% and 4.90%, respectively, at the time of writing.
