U.S. stocks settled mixed on Wednesday, with the S&amp;P 500 recording gains for the third straight session driven by renewed investor appetite for risk following a breakthrough in early-week U.S.-China trade negotiations.

Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with health care, materials and real estate stocks recording biggest losses on Wednesday. However, information technology and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 89 points to 42,051.06 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.10% to 5,892.58, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.72% at 19,146.81 during Wednesday's session.

At a current reading of 70.4, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 69.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
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. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Legendary actor Robert De Niro has once again voiced his disapproval of President Donald Trump, encouraging the Hollywood industry to resist his influence and not yield to his wrath.
What Happened:  De Niro, a vocal critic of the President, used his platform to denounce Trump, labeling him as a &#8220;philistine&#8221;. He expressed his worries about the strain big businesses are under due to Trump&#8217;s influence and the consequential decisions they are forced to make, reported <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250514-de-niro-says-hollywood-worried-about-wrath-of-trump">France24</a>, citing AFP. He added that Hollywood worries about bearing &#8220;the wrath of Trump.&#8221;
Upon being honored with an honorary Palme d&#8217;Or or Lifetime Achievement for his contribution to cinema at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, the &#8220;Taxi Driver&#8221; star criticized the President&#8217;s intention to impose 100% tariffs on films produced abroad.
De Niro lauded&nbsp;U.S. universities and legal firms&nbsp;that have stood up against attempts by Trump&#8217;s administration to intimidate them. He highlighted the significance of this resistance, as it motivates others to retaliate.
De Niro concluded his speech with a plea for action, encouraging individuals to voice their opinions, take risks and not allow the bully to triumph.
&#8220;You just can&#8217;t let the bully win&#8230;&#8221; said De Niro.

Why It Matters: De Niro&#8217;s remarks come after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45335277/trump-calls-hollywoods-decline-a-national-security-threat-orders-a-100-tariff-on-foreign-films">Trump&#8217;s announcement</a> to introduce a 100% tariff on foreign films, which he declared on Truth Social, labeling Hollywood&#8217;s decline as a &#8216;National Security Threat&#8217;.
The decision was sparked by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45214594/hollywood-tariff-push-sparked-by-trump-jon-voight-meeting-where-actor-proposed-levies-in-certain-limited-circumstances">meeting </a>with actor Jon Voight, who proposed the levies. However, the White House later clarified that they are &#8216;exploring all options&#8217; and ‘no final decisions' regarding a tariff on foreign movies have been made. 
Economist Peter Schiff&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45187710/peter-schiff-says-trumps-100-tariff-on-foreign-films-pointless-without-targeting-streamingwarns-netflix-subscribers-would-bear-cost">criticized the move</a>, warning that Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) subscribers would ultimately bear the cost. This is not the first time De Niro has criticized Trump. In 2024, he compared Trump to Hitler, which led to&nbsp;Tesla CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/24/05/38635067/elon-musk-says-robert-de-niro-is-so-out-of-touch-its-insane-after-legendary-actor-compares-trump-to">calling </a>him &#8216;out of touch&#8217;.

Despite the falling gold prices after the stock market rebound, the gold mining companies are poised for growth as this expert highlights &#8220;record levels of free cash flow&#8221; for these companies over the next two years.
What Happened: The Macro Strategist at Crescat Capital, Otavio Costa, has underscored the data for the two-year forward free cash flow estimate for gold mining companies, highlighting the possibility of strong fundamental growth.
According to a chart shared by him, the free cash flow estimates of these companies surpass the expectation of the gold price level by the Philadelphia Gold &amp; Silver Exchange by 2027.
&#8220;Despite the recent pullback in gold, mining companies remain positioned to deliver record levels of free cash flow in the current environment,&#8221; he said in an X post.
This comes as the Gold Spot US Dollar fell 1.02% to hover around $3,145.09 per ounce during the publication of this piece. It was much lower than its recent record high of $3,500.33 per ounce.
&#8220;I've always found it compelling when prices of an asset decline even as fundamentals improve,&#8221; said Costa, adding that &#8220;Investors are gradually beginning to grasp the magnitude of what's unfolding, but in my view, we've already entered the Golden Age of Mining.&#8221;

Warren Buffett says Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) waited too long to hand the wheel to Greg Abel, calling his longtime lieutenant "a natural" and admitting it would have been "unfair" to deny him the top job any longer.
What Happened: Buffett, 94, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/warren-buffett-reveals-he-stepped-down-after-finally-feeling-his-age-b060251f">told</a> The Wall Street Journal that he will step down as chief executive in December, ending a six-decade run that turned his investing vehicle into a $900 billion conglomerate. Abel, 62, will move up from vice chairman, where he already supervises the company's non-insurance giants spanning railroads, utilities and manufacturing.
Buffett, 94, told The Wall Street Journal that he will step down as chief executive in December, ending a six-decade run that turned his investing vehicle into a $900 billion conglomerate. Abel, 62, will move up from vice chairman, where he already supervises the company's non-insurance giants spanning railroads, utilities and manufacturing.
"He's a natural," Buffett said.

Buffett conceded that aging finally caught him. "I didn't really start getting old … until I was about 90," he said, noting balance issues and fading eyesight. "The difference in energy level and just how much he (Greg Abel) could accomplish in a 10-hour day compared to what I could accomplish… the difference became more and more dramatic," Buffett said.
Buffett heaped more praise on Abel, saying he&#8217;s a lot like him in the way he doesn&#8217;t get fearful when &#8220;there's a panic in the market&#8221;. "He will have ideas about where money should be invested," Buffett said.

Meanwhile, in an interview, Berkshire Hathaway board lead director Sue Decker's has said that Abel is "much <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45183000/warren-buffetts-right-hand-man-greg-abel-is-quietly-taking-over-day-to-day-leadership-at-berkshire-hathaway-gotten-much-more-involved-in-capital-allocation-decisions">more involved</a> in capital-allocation decisions," proof the transition is already happening behind the curtain.
Buffett has been equally blunt about rumors he's hoarding Berkshire's record $348 billion cash pile to give his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45184366/buffett-dismisses-rumors-of-stockpiling-cash-for-successor-greg-abel-i-wouldnt-do-anything-nearly-so-noble-just-so-greg-could-look-good">heir an easy victory</a>, joking, "I wouldn't do anything nearly so noble as to withhold investing myself just so Greg could look good." He added that he's still prepared to deploy "$20 billion, or even $100 billion" whenever opportunity knocks, pointing to the fact that the CEO switch won't clip his own investing wings.

Warren Buffett Explains Why He Couldn't Deny Greg Abel The Top Job At Berkshire Hathaway Any Longer: 'He's A Natural'

An Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) holder said he secured a place at the upcoming exclusive dinner with President&nbsp;Donald Trump for a mere $1,200, according to a report on Wednesday.
What Happened: Cryptocurrency enthusiast Morten Christensen and his group were among the top 220 holders of Trump&#8217;s memecoin, according to a <a href="https://trumpdinner.gettrumpmemes.com/leaderboard">leaderboard </a>tracking the cryptocurrency&#8217;s biggest buyers over the last three weeks. The dinner, scheduled for next week, required at least $54,500 in time-weighted holdings to secure a spot, Fortune <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/14/trump-memecoin-dinner-crypto-national-gold-club/">said </a>in a report.
However, Christensen and his friends managed to attend the event&nbsp;for just about $1,200 each.&nbsp;Their strategy involved buying the Trump memecoin and shorting the exact same amount, resulting in a market-neutral position. This basically meant that they spent only on trading fees. 
They sold their Trump tokens and closed their short positions immediately after the dinner&#8217;s winners were announced on Monday. A post on Christensen&#8217;s X account showed a snippet of the mail invitation he received from the memecoin team.

Christensen stated that they originally ignored the gala dinner notice, believing it would be very competitive. However, they later developed a software program to monitor leaderboard changes and predict the holdings amount needed to secure a top 220 placement.
Benzinga reached out to Christensen for additional information, and the story will be updated if he responds.
Why It Matters: The Trump memecoin dinner has been a topic of significant controversy, with critics arguing that it allows wealthy and possibly foreign actors to buy access to the former president. 
Last month, Democratic lawmaker Sen.&nbsp;Jon Ossoff&nbsp;(D-Ga.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45027557/trumps-memecoin-dinner-event-sparks-impeachment-call-from-democratic-senator-says-potus-is-selling-access-to-those-who-enrich-him">called for Trump&#8217;s impeachment</a>, while Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.)&nbsp;requested an investigation into his potential violation of federal ethics regulations.
The dinner&#8217;s guest list, revealed earlier this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45367052/trump-memecoin-exclusive-dinner-guest-list-revealed-with-justin-sun-shining-at-the-top-report">included wallets linked to foreign entities</a>. Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) founder Justin Sun is speculated to be the biggest holder, with investments worth over $17 million.

The security of publicly traded U.S. solar companies is in focus as Chinese communication devices were found in critical renewable energy infrastructure, particularly power inverters.
What Happened: These devices, discovered during security checks of equipment, bypass typical firewall protections despite remote access capabilities being standard for updates and maintenance, reported Reuters.
Communication devices have been found in the batteries of several Chinese suppliers over the last nine months, as per the report.
The U.S. Department of Energy said that while these features and functionality &#8220;may not have malicious intent, it is critical for those procuring to have a full understanding of the capabilities of the products received.&#8221;
Some U.S.-based solar companies that could be in focus by the presence of undocumented devices in their supply include the following.

Why It Matters: Citing national security concerns, two U.S. Senators introduced the Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependence Act in February 2025. This action prohibited the Department of Homeland Security from procuring batteries from some Chinese entities, effective October 2027.

Meanwhile, Huawei exited the U.S. market in 2019, but it remains a dominant supplier worldwide.
