China has responded forcefully to President Donald Trump&#8217;s recent tariff increases, implementing reciprocal tariffs on selected American goods, sanctioning U.S. companies, and <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44092335/trumps-tariffs-threaten-canada-mexico-china-and-american-wallets">announcing plans to file a complaint</a> with the World Trade Organization.
What Happened: Beijing&#8217;s actions, timed to coincide with the U.S. doubling of universal tariffs on Chinese goods, include duties of 15% on U.S. poultry and agricultural products such as wheat, corn, and cotton, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3300948/china-hits-back-trump-reciprocal-tariffs-sanctions-us-firms?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported</a> South China Morning Post. Tariffs of 10% will be applied to imports of soybeans, pork, beef, and various food products.
&#8220;The unilateral tariff measures launched by the United States seriously violate the rules of the WTO and undermine the basis for bilateral economic and trade cooperation,&#8221; said a Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson in an official statement.
Beyond tariffs, the Ministry of Commerce added 15 U.S. firms to China&#8217;s export control list, requiring special approval for them to receive exports of &#8220;dual-use&#8221; items. Another ten American companies were placed on Beijing&#8217;s &#8220;unreliable entity list,&#8221; effectively banning them from trading with China or making <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43462612/china-retaliatory-tariff-playbook-corn-wheat-soybeans-in-the-crosshairs">new investments in the country</a>.

Why It Matters: The escalation follows Trump&#8217;s announcement last week to double tariffs on Chinese imports, augmenting the 10% duties in effect since February. These moves are widely viewed as the opening shots of a new trade war, with Trump signaling on his Truth Social platform that more tariffs could be coming on Apr. 2.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/04032944/Screenshot-2025-03-04-at-1.58.41%E2%80%AFPM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-807484" /></figure>
Economists note that while China&#8217;s response is significant, it remains measured. &#8220;Today&#8217;s list covers agricultural goods such as soybeans that are important for trade between the two countries,&#8221; said Zhang Zhiwei, chief economist at Pinpoint Asset Management. &#8220;But China retaliated on a small share of U.S. exports. I think China is still trying not to escalate the trade war.&#8221;
Earlier in February, China had already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43454424/china-strikes-back-new-tariffs-up-to-15-on-certain-us-imports-in-retaliation-for-trumps-10-levy-on-chinese-goods">imposed 15% tariffs</a> on coal and liquefied natural gas and 10% on crude oil, agricultural machinery, and high-displacement vehicles, affecting major U.S. exporters like Exxon Mobil Corp.

China Strikes Back At Trump's Tariffs With Retaliatory Duties, US Company Sanctions, And WTO Showdown

Morgan Stanley&nbsp;has reinstated&nbsp;Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&nbsp;as its top U.S. auto&nbsp;pick, citing the company&#8217;s focus on artificial intelligence and robotics, in a note on Sunday.
What Happened: The endorsement comes despite Tesla&#8217;s recent challenges, including a 45% drop in European sales in January and a decline in 2024 annual deliveries. Analyst Adam Jonas highlighted the company&#8217;s shift from a &#8220;pure automotive play&#8221; to a diversified focus on AI and robotics.
Jonas reiterated his $430 price target for Tesla, making it one of the highest on Wall Street, implying&nbsp;nearly a 51% upside to the&nbsp;stock&#8217;s closing price on Monday. This aligns with CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s strategy of pivoting the company towards AI and robotaxis.
In the research note, Jonas stated that the market potential for non-automotive applications of embodied AI is significantly larger and will be adopted more rapidly than autonomous vehicles. 
&#8220;Humanoid robot opportunity is not in our base or bull case but is becoming serious enough to move the stock. On our calculations, every 1% of U.S. labor force that can be captured by Tesla Optimus is worth approximately $100/TSLA share,&#8221; explained Jonas.
Jonas is also well aware of Tesla&#8217;s challenges as an EV manufacturer. He cautioned in the note, &#8220;EV ‘winter may be prolonged and could still require further steps to mitigate further potential losses near term.&#8221; While Musk expects sales to increase with the introduction of more affordable models, Jonas suggests that deliveries could decrease in 2025, offering an &#8220;attractive entry point&#8221; for investors.

Why It Matters: Despite these optimistic projections, Tesla&#8217;s stock has underperformed the broader U.S. market, declining nearly 25% year-to-date. The stock fell nearly 40% from its December peak, erasing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/44005093/tesla-stock-has-fallen-nearly-40-from-dec-peak-wiping-almost-137-billion-from-elon-musks-wealth">almost $137 billion</a> from CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s wealth. This drop was largely due to a nearly 50% decline in European sales in January, amid potential tariffs and ongoing Musk&#8217;s political involvement in the federal cost-cutting efforts. 
Meanwhile, Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm on Monday sold <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44099647/tesla-chair-robyn-denholm-sells-over-30-million-in-shares-as-stock-drops-nearly-3-amid-trump-tariff-concerns#:~:text=Chair%20Robyn%20Denholm%20has%20sold,Tesla%20shares%20over%20recent%20months.">nearly $33.7 million worth of the company&#8217;s stock</a>, as part of a previously adopted trading plan. This sale followed a trend among Tesla insiders offloading shares as the company navigates macroeconomic uncertainties and intensifying competition in the EV market.

Tesla On Track For 50% Stock Jump Thanks To AI And Robotics, Says Top Wall Street Analyst: 'Humanoid Robot Serious Enough To Move The Stock'

Investor sentiment is highly disconnected over tariffs as equities and forex markets are showing significant divergence in response to the announcements. This comes amid President Donald Trump's take on yen and yuan's devaluation.
What Happened: According to the senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, Robin Brooks, the divergence in equity and foreign exchange paints two different pictures about the market sentiment on tariffs.
Brooks, formerly the chief FX strategist at Goldman Sachs, highlights that the weakening dollar defies the imposition of "meaningful" tariffs. Whereas, the decline in S&amp;P 500 implies that equities are taking a hit from the tariff news.
"Both can&#8217;t be right," reiterates Brooks in an X post.
<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">The Dollar and S&amp;P 500 have completely different takes on looming US tariffs. The Dollar is falling, which means FX markets don&#39;t believe tariffs will be meaningful. The S&amp;P 500 has had a big fall, so it thinks tariffs are about to hit and will stay. Both can&#39;t be right&#8230; <a href="https://t.co/k5bjSed6Pv">pic.twitter.com/k5bjSed6Pv</a>

Meanwhile, as the U.S. dollar weakens, Trump has said that Japan's and China's plan to devalue their currency in response to tariff threats is "unfair" to the U.S., reported Reuters. According to Trump, the way to solve this problem "very easily is with tariffs."
However, Brooks believes that forex markets have turned agnostic to tariff threats, highlighting that the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar haven't been reacting as well.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

However, over 120 years, the U.S. dollar remains the most overvalued relative to other fiat currencies, said Otavio Costa, the macro strategist at Crescat Capital in an X post.

Why It Matters: The implementation of tariffs leads to a stronger domestic currency as imports reduce with higher duties, leading to fewer payments being made to foreign suppliers. However, the dollar index has fallen by 3.27% from its 52-week high of 110.180 to 106.579, as of Monday.
On the other hand, tariffs negatively impact the stock market because the expectation of higher inflation from tariff imposition leads to monetary tightening from the central banks.
While the market sentiment has turned 60.6% bearish according to American Association of Individual Investors survey, the S&amp;P 500 index has slipped 4.84% from its 52-week high of 6,147.43 to 5,849.72, as of Monday. Thus, the stock market is factoring the tariff impact, whereas the dollar remains averse.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Monday. The SPY declined 1.75% to $583.77, and the QQQ dropped 2.19% to $497.05, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

President Donald Trump directed a pause to U.S. military aid to Ukraine on Monday, pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to engage in peace negotiations with Russia amid escalating <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/03/44083726/european-leaders-support-zelenskyy-deepening-ukraine-divide-with-us">tensions between the two leaders</a>.
What Happened: The White House confirmed the aid freeze will remain until Trump determines Ukraine has demonstrated commitment to peace talks with Russia. A White House official <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-zelenskyy-russia-ukraine-a15a459c9a3a393d040478ebbe250a9e">told</a> the Associated Press on condition of anonymity described the move as &#8220;pausing and reviewing&#8221; assistance to &#8220;ensure that it is contributing to a solution.&#8221;
The decision follows a contentious Oval Office meeting where Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelenskyy over what they perceived as insufficient gratitude for the more than $180 billion in U.S. military aid provided to Kyiv since Russia&#8217;s invasion.
Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Zelenskyy, particularly after the Ukrainian leader suggested Sunday that an end to the war &#8220;is still very, very far away.&#8221; Trump responded sharply on Truth Social: &#8220;This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!&#8221;

Why It Matters: European leaders have <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/03/44083726/european-leaders-support-zelenskyy-deepening-ukraine-divide-with-us">rallied behind Zelenskyy</a>, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledging a £2.26 billion loan for military supplies backed by profits from frozen Russian assets. This growing divide between U.S. and European approaches to Ukraine creates uncertainty for investors in transatlantic defense partnerships.
A minerals deal that would have given the U.S. access to Ukraine&#8217;s critical minerals resources as partial repayment for aid was expected to be signed during Zelenskyy&#8217;s visit. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, has spoken with Zelenskyy&#8217;s chief of staff about reviving this economically significant agreement.

Trump Reportedly Halts Ukraine Military Aid, Pressures Zelenskyy To Seek Peace With Russia Amid Growing Rift

An investor who shorted Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)&nbsp;with massive leverage is now&nbsp;sitting on tens of millions in unrealized profit&nbsp;as the market plunged following President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement.
What Happened: The trader took a 50x leverage bet on ETH&#8217;s decline on Monday, according to on-chain tracker Lookonchain. 
As the second-largest cryptocurrency fell after Trump confirmed plans to impose tariffs on key trade partners like Canada, Mexico, and China, the trader&#8217;s unrealized gains rocketed up to a whopping $81 million. As of this writing, the trader had already begun closing part of the short positions to secure profits.

Interestingly, this development follows a 50x long trade by a whale on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum, turning a $4 million investment into a $200 million position. The trader closed their position shortly before Trump announced a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44068814/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-rally-on-trumps-strategic-crypto-reserve-announcement-cardano-xrp-solana-skyrocket-analyst-says-btcs-new-ath-possible-later-in-the-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cryptocurrency reserve</a>, resulting in a profit of over $6 million.

Benzinga Note:&nbsp;Leverage trading allows cryptocurrency traders to open larger positions using borrowed capital. While it can potentially amplify profits, it also significantly increases the risk of substantial losses due to the volatile nature of the cryptocurrencies.
Why It Matters: The timing of these trades has sparked speculation of possible insider trading. Panos, an X user, wondered if the long-leveraged trade before the cryptocurrency reserve-fueled rally and the bearish bets before the tariff-induced dump were coincidental or deliberate.

Tencent Holdings' (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) Yuanbao AI chatbot has surpassed DeepSeek as the most downloaded iPhone app in China.
What Happened: Tencent integrated its in-house Hunyuan AI technology with DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model, boosting the chatbot's appeal and helping it claim the No. 1 spot on China's iPhone app rankings this week, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-04/tencent-s-ai-bot-passes-deepseek-as-china-s-favorite-on-iphones">to</a> a report by Bloomberg.
DeepSeek had dominated downloads for over a month. Three of the top five free apps in China are now AI-powered chatbots, with ByteDance's Doubao also ranking among them.

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has announced that it has not sold any shares or bought additional Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the week from Feb. 24 to March 2, 2025. The company has also declared a quarterly cash dividend on its preferred stock.
What Happened: According to an SEC filing dated March 3, Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and its subsidiaries currently hold around 499,096 Bitcoins, which were bought for a total of about $33.1 billion. This averages to roughly $66,357 per Bitcoin, including fees and expenses.
The company announced a quarterly cash dividend for its 8.00% Series A perpetual preferred stock, trading under the ticker symbol STRK on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. The dividend, nearly $1.24 per share, will be paid on March 31, to shareholders who are recorded as of the close of business on March 15.
Furthermore, Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy, predicted during an interview with CNBC on Monday that the market cap of Bitcoin would surge to $200 trillion. &#8220;Right now we're about $2 trillion in Bitcoin. It's going to $20 trillion, then it's going to $200 trillion, then it's growing 20% a year. And that capital is coming from overseas. It's coming from China, from Russia, from Europe, from Africa, from Asia,&#8221; stated Saylor.

Why It Matters: On Monday, Strategy&#8217;s shares saw a 12.6% rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44073346/mstr-stock-up-nearly-13-in-monday-pre-market-whats-going-on">in the pre-market </a>trading session, following a surge in Bitcoin&#8217;s value. This surge was triggered by President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement of a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve, wherein the President declared his preference for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The stock also surged after Saylor announced in a post on X that the company&#8217;s Bitcoin investments generated $2.6 billion in profits during the first two months of 2025.
Saylor hailed Trump&#8217;s plan as "a more liberal economic policy," and emphasized that a well-organized digital asset policy would foster economic growth and encourage innovation. 
Despite the pre-market rise, the stock ended 1.77% lower to close at 250.92 on Monday, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">BenzingaPro</a>.

Bearish investor sentiment as measured by the American Association of Individual Investors reached a high of 60.6%, just before the S&amp;P 500 experienced its worst day of 2025 and second-worst March trading day ever on Monday.
What Happened: As highlighted by Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research <a href="https://www.carsongroup.com/insights/blog/why-we-expect-some-green-in-march">in</a> his latest note, the bearish sentiment rose more than 60%, for the week ended Feb. 26. This was the seventh highest time in history since the poll was started in 1987.
Additionally, the 60.6% bearish reading was the highest in 30 months since September 2022 and is the third-highest reading over the last 10 years, as highlighted by LPL Financial in their <a href="https://www.lpl.com/research/blog/investor-sentiment-hits-extremely-bearish-levels.html">note</a>.
Detrick observed the historical data and suggested a potential contrarian buying opportunity. He noted that, on average, stocks have risen approximately 28% in the year following periods when bearish sentiment exceeded 60%.
Expanding the analysis to include all instances where bearish sentiment surpassed 55% in the AAII survey, he found consistently strong returns over the subsequent year. However, he cautioned that exceptions exist, highlighting the spike in fear observed in early 2008, which was followed by significantly lower returns a year later.
"Assuming we aren't heading into another financial crisis (we don't think we are), the other times we saw this was quite bullish for investors willing to stay strong and not panic sell. The S&amp;P 500 was up a median of nearly 13% six months later and 18% a year later," he stated.

Why It Matters: The survey data showed that only 19.4% of investors were bullish, whereas 20% had a neutral market sentiment. According to AAII, the bullish sentiment was unusually low and below its historical average of 37.5% for the seventh time in nine weeks.
Contrary to the AAII Sentiment Indicator, which indicates most investors remain bearish on the short-term outlook for stocks, respondents of the BofA survey remain cautiously optimistic, noted George Smith, portfolio strategist at LPL Financial.
"Given that the AAII Sentiment Indicator's bull-bear spread is bearish and respondents of the BofA survey have conflicting views on the likelihood of a global recession and the valuation of U.S. equities, the consensus on markets appears to be relatively neutral," said Smith.

S&P 500 Selloff Spikes Investor Pessimism: Bearish Sentiment Hits 30-Month High, But This Expert Recommends Investors To 'Stay Strong And Not Panic Sell'

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) sold 7,326 electric vehicles in February in the U.S., marking a growth of 15% from the corresponding period last year, thanks to a jump in sales of its Mustang Mach-E SUV and its E-Transit electric vans which offset a drop in sales of its F-150 Lightning truck.
What Happened: Ford currently sells only three pure electric vehicles in the U.S. 
While Mustang Mach-E sales jumped 13% year-on-year, E-Transit sales rose 111%, offsetting a 15% drop in F-150 Lightning truck sales. 
The Mach-E SUV, a rival to Tesla Inc&#8217;s best-selling Model Y SUV, was the best-selling electric vehicle from Ford last month.

While a few weeks of tariffs will be manageable, prolonged tariffs will have a huge impact on the auto industry and mean higher prices for customers, he said.
Farley also called for &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; tariffs that impact Asian automakers including Hyundai, Kia, and Toyota who import their vehicles into the U.S. from countries like Japan or South Korea. 
"…if we're going to have a tariff policy…it better be comprehensive for our industry. We can't just cherry pick one place or the other because this is a bonanza for our import competitors," he added.

Ford's Mustang Mach-E Leads Company's US EV Sales In Feb But Trump Tariffs Threaten Future

In light of potential tariff threats from President Donald Trump, Pfizer Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) CEO Albert Bourla has suggested the possibility of shifting the company&#8217;s overseas manufacturing to its U.S. facilities.
What Happened: At the TD Cowen healthcare conference, Bourla indicated that Pfizer, which already boasts an extensive U.S. manufacturing network, could relocate production to its domestic plants to avoid any potential tariffs, reported Reuters on Monday.
His remarks come as the pharmaceutical industry braces for a possible 25% tariff on imported goods. &#8220;We&nbsp;have the capabilities here (in&nbsp;the U.S.) and the manufacturing&nbsp;sites are operating in good&nbsp;capacity right now. If something&nbsp;happens, we will try to&nbsp;mitigate it by transferring from&nbsp;manufacturing sites outside to the&nbsp;manufacturing sites here,&#8221; Bourla said.
Pfizer has 10 manufacturing facilities and two distribution centers in the United States.

Why It Matters: This development follows a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43906811/trump-reportedly-warns-big-pharma-move-manufacturing-to-us-or-face-tariffs">warning</a>&nbsp;from Trump to pharmaceutical companies in February. During a confidential meeting, the President urged drug companies to expedite the transfer of their overseas production to the U.S. or face the possibility of tariffs.
Among the attendees of this meeting were the CEOs of Eli Lilly &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), and Pfizer, along with the head of the industry's largest lobbying group. The executives aimed to convince Trump to support measures targeting middlemen blamed for increasing out-of-pocket costs and to limit a law allowing the federal government to negotiate specific drug prices.
Though the Trump administration has hinted at possible exemptions to reciprocal tariffs for certain sectors, including pharmaceuticals, a final decision is yet to be made.
While many see reshoring as a potential solution to avoid tariffs, it may not be pragmatic. Independent healthcare analyst Joshua P. Cohen wrote in Forbes, &#8220;..this takes time and is logistically complex.&#8221; He stated that generic products might call for volume purchase guarantees, and a public-private partnership may be required to boost infrastructure and regulatory compliance. &#8220;Whether the Trump administration is prepared to co-invest in a long-term strategy remains to be seen,&#8221; says Cohen.
