<p><strong>The Details: </strong>Hunterbrook published a<a href="https://hntrbrk.com/rely-wu-cartel-crackdown/"> short report</a> outlining what the firm sees as a triple threat of risks to the remittance companies:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>More affordable alternatives like peer-to-peer payment apps, card-to-card transfers, and cryptocurrency platforms. </li>
<li>Intensified government oversight of international money transfers, particularly those potentially linked to cartel activities, following the U.S. designation of certain cartels as terrorist organizations in February.</li>
<li>Slowing growth in critical markets.</li>

<p><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>Cheaper Alternatives:</strong> Western Union and Remitly face growing competition from more affordable options, includ</span>ing card-to-card programs like Visa Direct and peer-to-peer transfers like Venmo, Zelle and CashApp, Hunterbrook said. The report also listed cryptocurrency transfers in apps like <strong>Coinbase</strong> and <strong>Robinhood</strong> as formidable competitors, in their view, to the more traditional remittance companies. </p>
<p><strong>Government Crackdown:</strong> Hunterbrook pointed to a comprehensive campaign initiated by the Trump administration to crack down on cartel activities, focusing on remittance companies. The report highlighted stricter mandatory reporting limits, which have been reduced from $10,000 to $200 in certain areas, and Secretary of State <strong>Marco Rubio</strong>'s actions to limit remittances to Cuba. </p>
<p><strong>Slower Growth:</strong> The remittance industry's growth has slowed from a 25.9% growth rate in 2021 to 2.3% in 2024, according to Hunterbrook. The report also pointed to Western Union's recently lowered guidance for the first quarter of 2025 due to &#8220;anxiety in the marketplace post-election" and comments from the CEO regarding a &#8220;slowdown in our Latin America business." </p>

Shares of auto stocks are trading higher, rebounding after falling on recent tariff concerns.

<p>Wall Street is enjoying a strong bounce at the end of a turbulent week that sent the S&amp;P 500 into correction territory for the first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44338243/wall-street-bounces-back-as-shutdown-risks-fade-stocks-eye-strongest-day-in-4-months-whats-driving-markets-friday">time since October 2023.</a></p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – was up 2% by late afternoon trading in New York, eyeing the strongest surge in more than four months.</p>
<p>Yet, veteran investor <strong>Ed Yardeni</strong> isn't convinced the worst is over, calling the rebound more of a "scared cat bounce" rather than a sign of a final market bottom.</p>
<p>In an email sent Friday, Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, highlighted two key developments that fueled the end-week rally. </p>
<p>The first is the likelihood that a government shutdown will be avoided. Senate Democratic Leader <strong>Chuck Schumer</strong> said Thursday he would support a Republican-backed short-term funding bill, removing an immediate threat to government operations.</p>
<p>The second, more surprising catalyst was President<strong> Donald Trump</strong>'s silence on tariffs.</p>
<p>Investors appeared to cheer the absence of trade-related rhetoric, with Yardeni saying, "Any day without a Trump tariff comment is a good day for the market."</p>
<p>Yardeni pointed to a key development that could potentially soften Donald Trump's aggressive trade stance going forward. </p>
<p>In an unsigned letter to the U.S. trade representative,<strong> Tesla Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) said that while it &#8220;supports&#8221; fair trade, it fears U.S. exporters could face &#8220;disproportionate impacts&#8221; if other nations retaliate against tariffs.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Real Bottom?</h3>
<p>Despite Friday's relief rally, Yardeni remains cautious. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44320528/wall-street-bull-turns-cautious-ed-yardeni-cuts-s-p-500-target-as-trumps-tariffs-threat-stagflation">He recently cut his year-end S&amp;P 500 price target</a> from 7,000 to 6,400 for 2025 and from 8,000 to 7,200 for 2026, citing ongoing risks to economic growth. </p>
<p>Yet, he stopped short of forecasting a recession, a growing concern among market watchers.</p>
<p>"We continue to bet on the resilience of the economy," Yardeni said. He expects Trump will avoid policies that could trigger a downturn before the 2026 midterms, as a recession would threaten Republican control of Congress.</p>
<p>The market's choppy start to 2025 hasn't been entirely unexpected, but the downside volatility has been sharper than anticipated.</p>
<p>While bearish sentiment is high, Yardeni suggests that a more convincing bottom would come when markets rise despite renewed tariff threats from Trump.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street Eyes April 2 Tariff Deadline</h3>
<p>Investors are closely watching April 2, when the Trump administration is set to impose new reciprocal tariffs on multiple nations. </p>
<p>The expectation is that Trump, whom Yardeni dubbed "Tariff Man," will respond aggressively, potentially unsettling markets.</p>
<p>The options market is also flashing warning signs. The CBOE Put/Call Ratio, a measure of bearish bets relative to bullish ones, jumped to 0.94—well above its historical average of 0.66. This suggests investors are hedging against further declines, a potential contrarian buy signal.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Contrarian Opportunity?</h3>
<p>Extreme pessimism could signal a buying opportunity for those willing to bet against the prevailing market mood. If history repeats, a strong rally might emerge once traders stop fearing tariff headlines.</p>
<p>Yardeni stays cautious in the short term but optimistic about the market&#8217;s medium- and long-term outlook.</p>
<p>"We thought the stock market would be choppy at the beginning of the year before heading back to record high territory later this year," he said.</p>
