(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) reported their January delivery numbers over the weekend, with Xpeng topping the three.
Li Auto Witnesses YoY Drop: Li Auto said it delivered 29,927 vehicles in January, marking a 4% drop in sales year-over-year and a whopping 49% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42758540/us-listed-chinese-ev-startups-clock-delivery-growth-in-december-li-auto-tops-the-chart-mona-m03-spurs-xpeng-nios-onvo-breaches-10000-monthly-delivery-milestone">dip from December</a> when it delivered 58,513 vehicles.
XPeng Mona M03 Deliveries Exceed 15k Units: XPeng witnessed a jump of 268% year-over-year. The company delivered 30,350 vehicles last month, marking a drop of 17.3% from December.
The Guangzhou-based EV startup said that&nbsp;its deliveries of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39618570/xpeng-debuts-mona-series-with-m03-with-official-launch-in-august-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">XPeng Mona M03&nbsp;</a>hatchback coupe alone exceeded 15,000 units.

Tesla Rival Xpeng Outpaces Li Auto, Nio In January Despite Sales Dip From December

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) shares dropped over 4% overnight on the <a href="https://robinhood.com/us/en/stocks/PLTR/">Robinhood</a> platform, ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings report on Monday. This decline came after a sharp drop in index futures, triggered by President Donald Trump&#8216;s decision to impose <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">tariffs</a> on Canada, China, and Mexico over the weekend.
What Happened: After hitting a record high of $85.22 intraday, Palantir stock settled at $82.49, up 1.56% on Friday. It rose further by 0.09% in after-hours. On Robinhood, the stock was trading 4.16% lower during the publication of this article.
A leader in AI-powered data analytics, Palantir provides critical tools to government clients for intelligence, counterterrorism, and military applications.
However, despite the Chinese AI startup, DeepSeek-led frenzy in the U.S. market last week, the shares of PLTR gained 11.68% in the last five trading sessions. It was also the top performer on the S&amp;P 500 index in 2024.
Technical analysis of its daily moving averages shows a strong bullish trend for the stock with potential overbought conditions.
PLTR shares closed Friday at $82.49, significantly above its eight-day simple moving average of $79.25, and 20-day average at $74.18. Also, much above its 50 and 200-day averages of $72.66, and $41.72, respectively, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>. The relative strength index of 63.91, even though in the neutral zone, suggests the possibility of price correction in the near future.

Why It Matters: PLTR will report its fourth-quarter earnings after market hours on Monday. According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/earnings">Benzinga&#8217;s consensus estimates</a>, the company is expected to report earnings of $0.11 per share on the revenue of $775.91 million.
The company has exceeded Benzinga&#8217;s earnings and revenue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/earnings">estimates</a> in seven out of the last 10 quarters.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp recently warned of DeepSeek&#8217;s competitive challenge in AI, calling for a coordinated U.S. response to safeguard its technological edge in an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/31/palantir-ceo-says-chinas-deepseek-shows-need-for-all-country-effort.html">interview</a> with CNBC. 
New tariffs, effective Tuesday, will impact roughly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43425796/el-erian-warns-of-consequential-uncertainties-in-trumps-new-tariff-impact">a third of U.S. imports</a>, potentially raising prices across sectors from agriculture to automobiles. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">warned</a> of supply chain disruptions and higher costs for families, citing concerns about agricultural imports from Mexico worth $46 billion and energy trade with Canada valued at $97 billion. Additionally, a 10% tariff will be levied&nbsp;on Chinese goods imported into&nbsp;the United States.
PLTR has a consensus ‘sell&#8217; with a price target of $39.38, according to the 22 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-rating">tracked by Benzinga</a>. The high target is $90, and the low is $7.5. Recent ratings by Wedbush, Cantor Fitzgerald, and Morgan Stanley suggest a $74 target, implying a 10.37% upside.

Palantir Technologies Plunges Overnight On Robinhood: Trump Tariff Impact Or Investor Jitters?

The cryptocurrency market saw multiple headwinds last week, resulting in a large decline in market value. However, a few coins overcame the slump to post significant gains.
What happened: HYPE, the native token of the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, topped the biggest gainers list, rallying 7.5% over the week. The coin accumulated massive gains of 586% over the last year
Hyperliquid is a decentralized trading platform that utilizes its own Layer-1 blockchain.
Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based DEXE token was the second-highest gainer, marginally trailing HYPE in weekly returns. Like HYPE, DEXE was coming off a successful 2024, with a 625% increase over the year.
DeXe is the governance token of the DeXe Protocol—a tool used for creating and governing decentralized autonomous organizations.&nbsp;
Similarly, OM, the token associated with the layer-1 blockchain MANTRA, rallied over 6% to become the third-most cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency hit a record high of $5.87 last week and is one of the few to record sizable year-to-date gains, at nearly 29%.

Elsewhere, the market didn't paint a rosy picture. Blue-chip coins like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) sank 7.11% and 20.56%, respectively.

Overall, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell 11.66% over the week to $3.03 trillion.

Former White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Jason Furman has pointed out potential discrepancies in Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s recent claims regarding federal spending reductions and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43391017/2-trillion-by-2026-elon-musks-ambitious-push-to-reinvent-government-spending-with-silicon-valley-powerhouses">proposed fiscal targets</a>.
What Happened: In a response on X to Musk&#8217;s statement about reaching &#8220;$4B/day FY2026 reduction,&#8221; Furman calculated that such cuts would amount to approximately $1.5 trillion annually. This would represent a 30% reduction in government spending, excluding interest and Social Security benefits from the expected $4.8 trillion federal expenditure.
The exchange comes amid Musk&#8217;s broader initiative through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to cut $2 trillion from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43391017/2-trillion-by-2026-elon-musks-ambitious-push-to-reinvent-government-spending-with-silicon-valley-powerhouses">federal budget by 2026</a>. The project has assembled notable Silicon Valley figures, including venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick.
During an X broadcast interview with political strategist Mark Penn, Musk acknowledged the ambitious nature of the target, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;ll aim for $2 trillion&#8230; If we target $2 trillion, I think there&#8217;s a strong chance we can achieve $1 trillion in spending cuts.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">More math (before I hopefully go back to restraining myself): $4b/day is $1.5T per year.

Why It Matters: The initiative faces significant challenges, according to experts. Richard J. Pierce, a Professor of Law at George Washington University, cautioned in the NYU Journal of Legislation and Public Policy that federal budget cuts could have far-reaching consequences. &#8220;Government spending is tied to laws, policies and public programs that people depend on,&#8221; Pierce noted.
While Social Security and Medicare are reportedly protected from cuts, questions remain about where the reductions would come from. The initiative has set July 4, 2026 – America&#8217;s 250th independence anniversary – as its target date for achieving these ambitious fiscal goals.
The project&#8217;s success could have significant implications for market investors, particularly in sectors heavily dependent on federal spending, such as healthcare, which comprised 17.6% of GDP in 2023 according to the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services, and defense contracting.

Elon Musk's Daily $4 Billion DOGE Target Will Lead To 30% Cut In Federal Spending, Says Economist Jason Furman

OpenAI is contemplating a shift in its open-source strategy as it faces <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43354099/openai-alleges-deepseek-used-proprietary-models-without-permission-as-microsoft-investigates-ai-secu">mounting competition from</a> Chinese companies like DeepSeek.
What Happened: On Friday, during a Reddit AMA, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that DeepSeek has narrowed OpenAI&#8217;s lead in AI.
"I personally think we have been on the wrong side of history here and need to figure out a different open source strategy," he stated, adding, "Not everyone at OpenAI shares this view, and it's also not our current highest priority."

&#8220;We will produce better models [going forward], but we will maintain less of a lead than we did in previous years.&#8221;
Kevin Weil, OpenAI&#8217;s chief product officer, mentioned the possibility of open-sourcing older models that are no longer cutting-edge.
OpenAI is also exploring ways to reveal more about its models&#8217; reasoning processes, a move influenced by DeepSeek&#8217;s transparent approach.

Why It Matters: The shift in OpenAI&#8217;s strategy comes amid a broader debate over open-source versus closed-source AI models.
Elon Musk and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has criticized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39925842/elon-musk-agrees-with-arch-rival-mark-zuckerberg-after-meta-ceo-slams-closed-providers-like-openai-f">closed model providers like OpenAI</a> for lobbying against open source AI.
This debate intensified when Meta supported Musk&#8217;s stance against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495758/elon-musk-finds-an-unlikely-ally-in-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-in-his-fight-against-sam-altmans-openai">OpenAI&#8217;s for-profit transition</a>.
Despite the competition from DeepSeek, OpenAI&#8217;s valuation remains strong. Earlier this month, it was reported that SoftBank Group was reportedly in talks to lead a $40 billion funding round for OpenAI, valuing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">company at $300 billion</a>.

DeepSeek Impact Makes OpenAI Rethink Open Source — Sam Altman Hints At Major Changes In Model Development

A trader missed out on potential profit worth tens of millions after selling Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) at a significant discount on Saturday, failing to act during the meme coin&#8217;s peak.
What Happened: The investor initially bought&nbsp;into TRUMP, the official cryptocurrency of President Donald Trump, when the price&nbsp;was approximately $1.03, according to the on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain.
They then offloaded all of their 637,000 TRUMP coins for $12.24 million, booking an impressive profit of $11.4 million. 
However, if the trader had&nbsp;sold at the meme coin&#8217;s peak of $75.35, the&nbsp;profit could have exceeded $45 million. So, the late sale deprived them of $33 million in gains.

Why It Matters: The missed chance underscores the volatility and unpredictability of meme coins, especially those that are themed on popular people and celebrities.
Launched by Trump just ahead of his presidential inauguration, TRUMP&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43257114/donald-and-melania-trump-memecoins-defy-market-lull-with-rallyanalyst-says-trump-bottomed-out-at-25" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reached a fully diluted valuation</a>&nbsp;of roughly $75 billion shortly after its debut but has since crashed over 76%.
While the coin possesses some utility, like allowing customers to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43326793/trump-coin-can-buy-you-donald-trump-themed-watches-and-sneakers-heres-how">use it to buy Trump-branded merchandise</a>, most of its moves have been dictated by broader market trends.
Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $17.87, down 15% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga Note: Investing in meme coins and cryptocurrencies is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and speculative trading.

TRUMP Memecoin Sale Cost Trader $33 Million In Potential Gains As Memecoin Plunges 76% From Market Top

Prominent economists are raising concerns about the inflationary impact and economic consequences of former President Donald Trump&#8216;s newly announced tariffs on major U.S. trading partners, with Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian emphasizing the complexity of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">predicting their full effects</a>.
What Happened: In a series of posts on X on Sunday, El-Erian addressed growing questions about the inflationary impact of Trump&#8217;s tariffs, which include a 25% duty on Mexican and most Canadian imports and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. 
&#8220;Unlike others who have proclaimed either &#8216;very&#8217; or &#8216;not at all,&#8217; I am quick to say we don&#8217;t know for sure,&#8221; El-Erian said.
El-Erian highlighted several key variables affecting the tariffs&#8217; impact, including demand and supply elasticities, price pass-through speeds, and the lingering effects of 2021-2022 inflationary expectations. 
&#8220;It's because there are several factors in play that translate not just into genuine analytical uncertainty but also consequential sector-and good-specific differences,&#8221; El-Erian added.

He also highlighted concerns about potential retaliatory measures, noting from a Bloomberg report that Trump&#8217;s executive orders include clauses that would increase U.S. tariffs if affected countries respond with counter-tariffs.

Why It Matters: Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers offered a more direct critique, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43425160/trump-tariffs-a-strategic-gift-to-xi-jinpings-china-says-obama-era-treasury-secretary-jobs-in-industrial-heartland-will-be-lost">describing the tariffs</a> as a &#8220;strategic gift to Xi Jinping&#8221; and a &#8220;bully strategy&#8221; that could have severe economic consequences. &#8220;Jobs in the industrial heartland will be lost as American producers can&#8217;t compete due to higher input costs,&#8221; Summers warned on X, adding that the measures could strain relationships with Canada and Mexico.
The tariffs, set to take effect Tuesday, target approximately one-third of U.S. imports, potentially affecting prices across various sectors from agriculture to automobiles. 
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has warned of supply chain disruptions and increased costs for American families, while economists note particular concerns about the $46 billion agricultural import relationship with Mexico and the $97 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">energy trade with Canada</a>.

Mohamed El-Erian Won't Say How Inflationary Trump's Tariff's Will Be: Here's Why

Nobel Prize-winning economist Eugene Fama foresaw a 100% probability that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency, will lose all of its value within the next decade.
What Happened:  During an interview on the Capitalisn't podcast, the &#8220;father of modern finance&#8221; was asked about the likelihood of Bitcoin&#8217;s value plummeting to zero in the next 10 years, to which he replied, &#8220;I would say it&#8217;s close to one.&#8221;
Fama stated that cryptocurrency runs against all that is known about monetary theory.
Fama&#8217;s doubts about cryptocurrencies were rooted in their inherent instability. He argued that they contradict the essential principles of a medium of exchange due to their fluctuating real value.
&#8220;They don&#8217;t have a stable real value, you know. They have highly variable real value. That kind of a medium of exchange is not supposed to survive,&#8221; Fama said. &#8220;People don&#8217;t want to do business in something that itself can put them out of business.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Why This Nobel Economist Thinks Bitcoin Is Going to Zero, with Eugene Fama" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JqnccpQIG_w?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

</figure>
The pioneer of the efficient market hypothesis also criticized the energy-intensive method of mining, responsible for bringing new Bitcoins into circulation.
&#8220;It&#8217;s really not sustainable. You can&#8217;t have a whole financial system built on this because it requires too much in the way of computing power,&#8221; Fama argued. 
The gloomy prediction comes after a record-breaking year for the leading cryptocurrency that saw it reach all-time highs of $109,000 and more than double its market value.

Why It Matters: Fama&#8217;s prediction follows similar skepticism by well-known economists toward Bitcoin. 
Nobel laureate Paul Krugman called Bitcoin &#8220;economically useless&#8221; last year in July, questioning President Donald Trump&#8217;s embrace of it while he was on the campaign trail. He even referred to Trump&#8217;s proposal for a national Bitcoin stockpile as a &#8220;government bailout&#8221; of a scandal-ridden sector.
Another influential economist, Justin Wolfers, questioned the feasibility of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40152445/trumps-bold-plan-to-use-bitcoin-to-wipe-out-35t-us-debt-questioned-by-economist-justin-wol">national Bitcoin stockpile</a>, indicating a growing doubt about the economic viability of Bitcoin.
Notably, Trump signed executive orders, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43177482/trump-signs-executive-order-on-crypto-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-evaluated">evaluating the creation of a "strategic national digital assets stockpile</a>."
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $94,421.46, sinking 5.31% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nobel Prize Winner Predicts Bitcoin's Value Will Plummet To Zero In Next 10 Years—'Father Of Modern Finance' Says Crypto Antithesis Of Monetary Theory

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Watch Series 10 users are reportedly voicing their dissatisfaction over the limited selection of watch faces available, despite the device&#8217;s advanced features.
The latest update has only slightly expanded the options, leaving many users wanting more.
What Happened: The Apple Watch Series 10, which boasts a larger display and smarter watch faces, uniquely supports an always-on-second display. However, this feature is restricted to just four watch faces, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/02/apple-watch-faces-are-broken-and-apples-latest-move-isnt-helping/">reported</a> 9to5Mac.&nbsp;
Initially, only three faces—Flux, Reflections, and Activity Digital—supported this feature. The latest addition of the Unity Rhythm face in watchOS 11.3 has increased this number to four.

However, users are frustrated as they seek more customization options, including third-party watch faces, which remain unavailable.
The report noted that Apple has been removing certain watch faces without clear reasons. The company&#8217;s strategy appears to focus on introducing a few new faces annually that support always-on seconds while phasing out less popular ones.
Users hope future updates, like watchOS 12, will enable all watch faces to use the hardware&#8217;s full capabilities.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It Matters: The frustration among users comes at a time when Apple is celebrating a strong financial performance.
In its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">first-quarter earnings</a> report, Apple announced a revenue of $124.3 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $124.13 billion. The company also reported adjusted earnings of $2.40 per share, beating the forecast of $2.36 per share.
Wearables, Home, and Accessories reported $11.75 billion in revenue, compared to $11.95 billion in the same period last year.

Apple Watch Faces Are A Mess — Series 10's Biggest Feature Is Limited To Just Four Faces, Frustrating Users

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMWF#OTC">TSMWF</a>) shares dropped sharply Monday as trading resumed after the Lunar New Year holiday, with investors responding to last week&#8217;s global selloff in artificial intelligence stocks triggered by developments at Chinese AI firm DeepSeek.
What Happened: TSMC shares fell as much as 6.6% to 1,070 New Taiwan dollars ($32.32) on the Taiwan exchange, marking their steepest decline in nearly six months. The selloff dragged down Taiwan&#8217;s benchmark Taiex index by 4.4% to 22,627 points, while Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. also known as Foxconn tumbled 9.2% to 165.50 New Taiwan dollars.
The decline follows DeepSeek&#8217;s announcement of its R1 AI model, which the company claims was developed for just $5.6 million &#8211; a figure that has drawn skepticism from industry experts. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives dismissed the claim as &#8220;likely a fictional story,&#8221; noting that comparable models like OpenAI&#8216;s GPT-4 required investments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43296460/dan-ives-says-chinese-startup-deepseeks-6-million-ai-development-assertion-is-likely-a-fictional-story">exceeding $100 million</a>.

Why It Matters: The controversy deepened as prominent tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43296460/dan-ives-says-chinese-startup-deepseeks-6-million-ai-development-assertion-is-likely-a-fictional-story">figures raised concerns</a> about DeepSeek&#8217;s development process. OpenAI investor Josh Kushner suggested the Chinese model may have been trained using U.S. technology in violation of export controls. Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang alleged DeepSeek had acquired 50,000 advanced chips through unreported channels, a claim that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk appeared to support.
The uncertainty surrounding DeepSeek&#8217;s capabilities and methods has rippled through the semiconductor sector, contributing to a $600 billion decline in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) market value last Monday. TSMC&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) U.S.-listed shares had previously fallen 13% last Monday before recovering some losses.
The White House has reportedly begun examining DeepSeek&#8217;s operations for potential<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43293506/chinas-deepseek-under-white-house-scrutiny-over-potential-national-security-risks"> national security risks</a>, particularly given the company&#8217;s backing by High-Flyer, an $8 billion Chinese quantitative hedge fund.

What Happened: Bitcoin was in free fall, crashing below $92,000 for the first time since January 13, before recouping to $93,000. The leading cryptocurrency lost nearly 8% of its value over the last 24 hours. 
The rest of the market was hit more severely. Ethereum plunged over 25% to a nearly 3-month low, while Dogecoin plummeted 26%.

The cryptocurrency market bled profusely, encountering over $2 billion in the last 24 hours and over $1 billion getting wiped out in the last 4 hours.&nbsp;
Bitcoin's Open Interest fell 4.72% in the last 24 hours, suggesting large-scale liquidation of longs.
However, the number of traders betting on the cryptocurrency's upside rose in the last 24 hours, with 66% of Binance futures traders going long on Bitcoin.
"Fear" sentiment engulfed the market, according to the reading on the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index, indicating that investors could panic sell.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency market commentator Michaël van de Poppe was undeterred by the altcoin losses and predicted an upside move in the coming weeks.
&#8220;The massive bullish divergence on TOTAL3/BTC is still applied. The higher low has still been created, and the continuation on the altcoins should come in the coming weeks,&#8221; the trader remarked.
Note that &#8220;TOTAL3&#8221; corresponds to the cryptocurrency&#8217;s total market cap excluding BTC and ETH.

Another well-known cryptocurrency analyst, Ali Martinez, emphasized the importance of Ethereum sustaining the $2,750 support level to justify a rebound to $6,760.
As it turned out, the second-largest cryptocurrency has dropped significantly below $2,750, casting doubt on its positive sentiment.

LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Indeed and Greenhouse have all introduced new AI-powered tools designed to help job seekers gauge their chances of receiving responses from potential employers.
What Happened: LinkedIn is currently testing &#8220;responsiveness insights&#8221; on select job postings, with plans to expand this feature across the platform, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-02/linkedin-indeed-launch-tools-to-help-job-seekers-narrow-their-search?srnd=homepage-asia">reported</a> Bloomberg on Sunday.
The platform is also improving its AI-powered &#8220;job match&#8221; feature. It assesses how well a candidate fits a job listing. The goal is to reduce application overload by guiding users toward roles where they have a better chance of getting a response.
Indeed is upgrading its &#8220;responsive employer&#8221; badges, which have been in place since 2018. The platform now offers more detailed insights, such as median response times, to assist job seekers in identifying companies that are more likely to respond.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43425315/openais-deep-research-promises-ai-powered-analysis-heres-what-it-can-and-cant-do">OpenAI&#8217;s &#8216;Deep Research&#8217; Promises AI-Powered Analysis — Here&#8217;s What It Can (And Can&#8217;t) Do</a>
Greenhouse is experimenting with a badge system to verify employers&#8217; commitment to respectful and communicative hiring practices. These badges aim to reward companies that uphold high standards in their recruitment processes.
These developments come as job seekers face increasing challenges in the labor market, with many experiencing long-term unemployment. The new tools are designed to improve transparency and efficiency in the hiring process, benefiting both applicants and employers.
Why It Matters: Last year, more than 14 million job seekers&#8217; applications were entirely ignored in just one quarter, the report noted, citing one hiring platform.

The introduction of these AI tools by LinkedIn and Indeed comes at a time when the U.S. labor market is showing mixed signals.
The U.S. economy added <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42912480/us-economy-adds-256000-payrolls-in-december-as-tight-labor-market-tops-forecasts-dollar-treasury-yields-spike">256,000 jobs in December</a>, surpassing expectations and highlighting the resilience of the labor market.
However, a December report indicated a slowdown in hiring, with private businesses adding only 122,000 jobs in the last month of 2024, marking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42873182/us-private-businesses-add-122000-jobs-in-december-the-labor-market-downshifted-to-a-more-modest-pace-of-growth">a decrease from November's 146,000</a>.

14 Million Job Seekers Didn't Hear Back From Potential Employers In Just A Single Quarter Last Year: Now LinkedIn Is Moving To Change That With AI Help

The Bank of Japan policymakers expressed growing concerns about inflation risks and yen weakness during their January meeting, where they raised rates to a 17-year high of 0.5%, according to meeting summary notes released on Monday.
Several board members emphasized the need for &#8220;timely and gradual&#8221; rate increases, citing mounting price pressures and potential financial overheating. The central bank&#8217;s latest move, approved in an 8-1 vote, marks its second rate hike since exiting its decade-long stimulus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42135336/usdjpy-awaits-potential-stimulus-impact">program in March 2024</a>.

The yen has shown modest strength since the last rate hike decision on Jan. 24, with USD/JPY edging down 0.21% to 155.68 from 156.02. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index has climbed 1.96% to 109.55, reflecting broader currency market dynamics.
BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42995151/bojs-kazuo-ueda-signals-rate-hikes-japanese-bond-yields-rise-to-14-year-high-what-the-recent-past-tells-us-about-impact-on-us-markets">maintains a hawkish stance</a>, indicating readiness for additional rate increases if wage growth continues to support consumption and stable inflation. While some members expressed optimism about a U.S. soft landing, others cautioned about risks from potential U.S. inflation resurgence and escalating trade tensions.
Real interest rates remain &#8220;significantly negative&#8221; even after the hike, according to one board member, suggesting room for further monetary tightening as Japan aims to sustainably achieve its 2% inflation target.
