Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>
The U.S. dollar strengthened, while gold plunged 2.6%, heading for its worst session since November.
Oil prices dropped more than 2% following speculation that OPEC+ may announce a new output hike as early as next month.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $93,000.

Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) CEO Jim Taiclet outlined an ambitious plan to enhance the F-35 fighter jet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/03/44445996/lockheed-martin-shares-sink-after-major-us-air-force-contract-goes-to-boeing-what-to-know">following the company&#8217;s loss</a> of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program contract to Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>).
What Happened: During Lockheed&#8217;s first quarter of 2025 earnings call on Tuesday, Taiclet said he has challenged his team to deliver &#8220;80% of 6th Gen capability at 50% of the cost&#8221; by applying technologies developed for its NGAD bid to the existing F-35 platform.
&#8220;We are moving forward and moving out on applying all the technologies that we developed for our NGAD bid onto our embedded base of F-35 and F-22,&#8221; Taiclet said, describing his vision as a &#8220;5th generation plus concept&#8221; for the F-35.
The aerospace giant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44922218/lockheed-martin-posts-strong-q1-says-maintained-2025-guidance-doesnt-include-tariff-impact">reported strong first-quarter results</a> with earnings per share of $7.28, beating analyst estimates by $0.97, and revenue of $17.96 billion, up 4.47% year-over-year.
Lockheed maintained its full-year guidance despite tariff challenges and the NGAD decision, projecting $73.75-74.75 billion in revenue and $27.00-27.30 in earnings per share. The company returned $1.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44922218/lockheed-martin-posts-strong-q1-says-maintained-2025-guidance-doesnt-include-tariff-impact">share repurchases during the quarter</a>.

Why It Matters: The March F-47 contract award to Boeing represented a significant setback for Lockheed, with Reuters reporting the deal could be worth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/03/44445996/lockheed-martin-shares-sink-after-major-us-air-force-contract-goes-to-boeing-what-to-know">hundreds of billions of dollars over its multi-decade lifetime</a>. This followed Lockheed&#8217;s elimination from consideration for the Navy&#8217;s next-generation carrier-based stealth fighter.
Despite these challenges, Taiclet emphasized the F-35&#8217;s continued importance. With approximately 1,100 aircraft already delivered and a projected global fleet exceeding 3,500, he positioned the F-35 as the &#8220;quarterback&#8221; in future air combat operations.
&#8220;We think we can get most of the way to 6th Gen at half the cost,&#8221; Taiclet said.
The company also highlighted recent contract wins worth up to $10 billion for missile systems, including Precision Strike Missiles, THAAD, and JASSM/LRASM.
Price Action: Lockheed Martin stock closed at $462.08 on Tuesday, up 0.82% for the day. In pre-market trading, the stock was up an additional 0.85% at $466.00. Year to date, however, the stock is down 4.18%.

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reiterated confidence in Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) growth prospects after the software firm disclosed a deal with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization amid its growing &#8220;federal and commercial&#8221; portfolio.
What Happened: Ives said in a X post that Palantir remains one of Wedbush's "top names,&#8221; and the firm&#8217;s deal with NATO presents an opportunity for the software maker to &#8220;capitalize on.&#8221;

Why It Matters: On Monday, NATO and Palantir announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44792590/palantir-stock-jumps-9-after-nato-adopts-ai-system-for-military-ops">completion of NATO&#8217;s acquisition</a> of the Palantir Maven Smart System NATO (MSS NATO) for deployment within Allied Command Operations (ACO). The deal was made on March 25. However, the financial terms were not disclosed.
MSS NATO equips military commanders and warfighters with a secure artificial intelligence-powered platform for core operations. It enhances intelligence fusion, targeting, battlespace awareness, and planning, enabling faster decision-making through diverse AI applications.
The Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) intends to leverage MSS NATO to accelerate the adoption of other advanced technologies developed across NATO, signifying a strong North American and European tech partnership.
The U.S. military already utilizes Palantir&#8217;s Maven technology, a system that was further supported by a $99.8 million five-year contract awarded last September.
Price Action: PLTR rose 1.18% in premarket to $93.71 apiece, whereas Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), the exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, was up 0.16% to $458.22.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate that PLTR has a weaker price trend over the short term, while it has stayed strong over the medium and long term. Its momentum ranking was solid at the 99.25th percentile, whereas its growth and value rankings were mixed; more details on the fundamentals are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">available here</a>.
