Wall Street traded slightly lower by midday Friday, as investors adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of a potential trade breakthrough, with high-stakes negotiations between U.S. officials—led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—and Chinese authorities set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">unfold over the weekend.</a>
President Donald Trump signaled that tariffs on Chinese goods could be slashed from the current 145% to 80%, though that figure remains significantly higher than pre-Liberation Day levels, prompting continued caution among market participants.
Equities gave back a portion of Thursday's gains as sentiment turned more defensive, while gold rebounded 1% to $3,330 per ounce, partially offsetting losses from the previous session.
Oil prices extended their rally, climbing further above $60 a barrel amid an improved global demand outlook, putting crude on track for its strongest weekly performance since late 2024. Natural gas followed suit, with Henry Hub futures rising 4.4%.
In fixed income, Treasury yields held steady, with the 10-year yield hovering around 4.37%.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) took a breather after Thursday's 6.4% surge, trading just above $102,500.

McKesson Unusual Options Activity

U.S. stocks rallied Thursday after the Trump administration signed its first major trade agreement with the United Kingdom, igniting optimism about further global deals — especially with China — and lifting investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">appetite for riskier assets.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.3% to close at 5,700, led by gains in technology stocks. The Russell 2000 soared 2.1%, outperforming larger-cap counterparts and fully recovering the losses triggered by the April 2 tariff announcement.
Under the deal, the U.S. slashed tariffs on UK-made vehicles from 25% to 10%, granting British carmakers a 100,000-vehicle quota. In return, the UK reduced tariffs on American beef to near-zero levels and pledged to purchase $10 billion worth of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft. Trump confirmed that the 10% tariff would remain the baseline for now, though he suggested other nations with large trade surpluses should expect higher rates.
During a press briefing, Trump hinted at the &#8220;biggest tax cuts in history&#8221; and urged investors to act: "You better go out and buy stock. This country will be like a rocket ship," he said.
The president also responded to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who noted a day earlier he hadn't been invited to meet with Trump. "I could call him from a meeting, but it's like talking to a wall," Trump said. 
"He's always too late [in cutting interest rates]. But in this case, it's not going to matter that much because our country is so strong."
Markets reflected that strength. The U.S. dollar rallied sharply as the new trade deal and reduced economic uncertainty boosted confidence. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) jumped to its highest level since April 11, climbing over 1% against the Japanese yen.
Treasury yields rose across the curve, with the 10-year yield adding 7 basis points to reach 4.34%.
In commodities, gold prices dropped as investors rotated out of safe havens. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) fell 1.5%, trimming its weekly gains. Oil prices rose 3.5%, with West Texas Intermediate crude topping $60 per barrel.
Crypto markets erupted higher. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) broke above $100,000 for the first time since February, rising 4.1%. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) surged 13%, while Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) gained 10%.

Wall Street Rallies After US Seals First Trade Deal: 'You Better Go Out And Buy Stock,' Trump Says

McKesson Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCK#NYSE">MCK</a>) will release its fourth-quarter financial results after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MCK/earnings">closing bell on Thursday</a>.
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $9.83 per share, up from $6.18 per share in the year-ago period. McKesson projects quarterly revenue of $94.2 billion, compared to $76.36 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On April 11, BofA Securities analyst Michael Cherny maintained McKesson with a Buy rating and raised the price target from $665 to $755.
With the recent buzz around McKesson, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, McKesson offers an annual dividend yield of 0.39%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 71 cents per share ($2.84 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from McKesson, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by McKesson's $2.84 dividend: $6,000 / $2.84 = 2,113 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $1,526,368 worth of McKesson, or 2,113 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $2.84 = 423 shares, or $305,563 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
MCK Price Action: Shares of McKesson gained by 1.6% to close at $722.37 on Wednesday.

Trade developments continued to influence market sentiment. During a Senate hearing, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that initial talks with China will begin in Switzerland later this week, though he emphasized they are only preliminary.
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) led notable decliners, plunging over 7% after a Bloomberg report indicated an Apple executive's testimony suggested AI may be eroding traditional search market share.
The Dow Jones outperformed, while tech-heavy indexes like the Nasdaq 100 and S&amp;P 500 lagged under pressure from Alphabet&#8217;s sharp decline. Sector performance was positive overall, with modest gains led by financials.
In commodities, U.S. natural gas prices at the Henry Hub surged over 5% to $3.640 per million British units, driven by recovering feedgas flows to Freeport LNG and forecasts for early-season heat boosting demand.
Gold retreated 1.5% after a strong two-day rally, while oil dipped 1.2% to $58.30 following a brief spike to $60 overnight.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady at around $96,800.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses.

B of A Securities Maintains Buy on McKesson, Raises Price Target to $755

Stocks plummeted by more than 10% last week after President Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44653029/trump-tariffs-trigger-wall-street-bloodbath-sp-500-notches-worst-weekly-drop-since-2020">unveiled his new ‘reciprocal' tariff chart</a>, with some heavy importers like Kohl's, Five Below, and Wayfair falling more than 20% on the day. 
It was the worst two days for stocks since March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the markets and panic reigned. Investors are left looking for safe havens, with gold and consumer staples, for example, both outperforming the markets in the last couple of weeks.
Dividend-paying stocks are another option. Not only can they protect your investment while you sit out this market drama &#8211; they can pay you while you wait. But it&#8217;s important to be careful when picking dividend stocks because there can be some pitfalls.
Today, let&#8217;s look at five stocks paying stable dividends in sectors that often outperform during drawdowns or economic turbulence.
Investors often look to safe harbors like dividend-paying stocks in times of uncertainty, but there's more to a dividend than just a high yield. You must be cautious when picking stocks for income because not all 5% yielding stocks are equal. One key factor is the dividend payout rate, or DPR. The DPR is the ratio of earnings a company uses to fund its dividend payout. For example, if a company has an 85% DPR, that means 85% of the company's earnings go toward satisfying the dividend. Naturally, companies with lower DPRs have more space to raise payouts in the future, and that's what income-seeking investors want most.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Procter and Gamble Inc.</h2>
Consumer staples are a popular pick for defensive investing. Procter and Gamble (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) not only sells essentials with inelastic demand but is one of the strongest dividend-paying stocks on the market. PG belongs to a prestigious club known as the Dividend Aristocrats, which are large-cap companies in the S&amp;P 500 with a history of raising their dividend payouts for at least 25 consecutive years. Even amongst that group, PG is an exceptional company &#8211; it's raised its dividend payout annually for 69 straight years!
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe2orpz0vqWb-hB-ju4Yx1dH60TnAlJ1AIv89ctKkCgWINp01LaC_exmbRctFiJDjut75WloTSLpqnLDMyTblxK-jWFLEi2NWypMmnEpeUjdLMwJ5JBTBULssQBqMLuJaHhfQFYsw?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
PG stock has a dividend yield of 2.38%, with a 5% annualized dividend growth rate over the last three years. The DPR is 64%, which may seem high, but PG resides in a low-growth sector and can utilize a more significant portion of earnings to satisfy its dividend. The company posted an 18% profit margin last quarter, superior to competitors like Colgate-Palmolive and Kimberly-Clark, along with a debt/equity ratio below 1. The stock also just triggered a technical breakout signal with the 50-day moving average crossing over the 200-day.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PepsiCo Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Another Dividend Aristocrat, PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), makes popular soft drinks like Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Gatorade and snack foods under the Frito-Lay brand. Over 60% of the company's manufacturing occurs in the United States, which should grant it some shelter from tariff woes. It's also raised its dividend annually for 53 straight years and currently yields 3.58%.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXchu7ROWTZJo-oMME5gKjePEY4ZiNwNHxoSEduRVrkd_1oXVRrrfIKhP6bF17S1nzz6Ejt-ipX8J7CDfK6Uc9GO5ScbwVRSqi0QF2_skooodexDU9ifwW0vVRMf7jNfDf-d5LFOsg?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
Pepsi's biggest competitor is Coca-Cola, another 50-year dividend booster, but Pepsi has a few advantages that put it ahead for income investors. Pepsi has a lower DPR (77% vs. 83%), higher yield (3.58% vs. 2.79%), and has grown its dividend at a faster rate over the previous three years (7.9% vs. 4.9%). The stock also trades at just 17 times forward earnings and 2.3 times sales, both better figures than Coca-Cola.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nucor Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Trump's tariffs, as the company manufactures most of its steel and iron products domestically and has had little pushback to price raises to start 2025. Nucor also has a 52-year history of raising its dividend, which currently yields 2% and has a very manageable 26.2% DPR. It's been a brutal 12 months for the company, which saw its stock cut in half from its 2024 highs. But the Relative Strength Index (RSI) just hit an Oversold trigger, so it&#8217;s worth reexamining this beaten-down name.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc0H2EzQdT942bIq6ULNxCTt4cXBsrP6CU4h58_e30id4TSZseSYefxusjJWoSkrCzI8M4OBcoQDjn8iuJSS9Qie_4kTYDekJz1gI3USZS3jBn667epLUi0ZKrd1LbHIz2BeKCNpQ?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
Nucor has profit margins similar to American competitors like Steel Dynamics and Reliance Steel. Still, it pays a superior yield and has an impressive 8.2% dividend growth rate over the last three years. The stock trades at 10 times forward earnings and just 0.82 times sales, and its 18% decline in the previous month could present dividend seekers with a buying opportunity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Altria Group Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Not everyone will feel comfortable investing in a company that manufactures cigarettes. But if you're looking for a dividend yield in uncertain times, Altria Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) is a stock that stands out for its strong payout and, yes, an addictive product with inelastic demand. The company distributes the Marlboro brand of tobacco, Black and Milds, and smokeless products like Skoal and Copenhagen.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcDbvtfPIp7rOpqjShbpIzhBumfGZQQZn0ZuEueO5gaMvkUNt7ZcpzuCsHAO-TQmIZVv6uNzIct9lDucTbSpXJQRbSFuWi3JlghsSHsPDPXB-WMQ9N8YdekzZW3EFE3ZRlQx7ZnSw?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
For Altria, 2024 was one of its best years in a decade, thanks to a 20% stock price jump and solid earnings growth. The company has profit margins of over 50% and a tiny P/E ratio at 8.8. And did we mention the dividend? MO yields a whopping 7% and has raised its payout for 56 years. Despite the impressive yield, Altria's DPR is just 62.3%, making it manageable despite the hefty obligation. MO shares also earned an 89.76 Momentum score from Benzinga Edge, a rare feat for a tobacco company.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">McKesson Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
McKesson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCK#NYSE">MCK</a>) was among the few stocks to rally during the tariff tantrum on April 2, jumping 3% and building its year-to-date gain over 25%. Healthcare stocks are another safe harbor during uncertain periods, and investors have been flocking to McKesson, which is well-positioned to continue its substantial dividend boosts.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcC7-GFFEago4CdSomH819SLSWaauJZNYHsxAY5HmfYaYfpmCFX6VXEoayinwFsfw96c06MVQFWZYwkDtoasl6GkjZyKfiIeYQcWEbdYJ8M5tjbcBWl2sh78w_fvyJjUCOzSM5c?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
MCK shares yield only 0.41%, but the dividend payout is $2.84 annually since the share price equals $700. While the yield seems paltry, the company has been aggressively boosting it over the last three years. Dividend growth exceeded 14% annually during the period, yet the DPR is still just 13%, giving the company plenty of room for future dividend raises. McKesson doesn't have the reputation of the Dividend Aristocrats mentioned above. Still, it does have 17 straight years of payout increases under its belt, and the stock trades at a reasonable 19.5 times forward earnings.
