U.S. stock futures were slightly higher on Wednesday after advancing for two consecutive days. Futures of major benchmark indices rose slightly in premarket.
On Wednesday morning, a tariff increase signed by Donald Trump on Tuesday evening <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708977/trump-doubles-steel-tariffs-to-50-saying-it-will-secure-american-jobs-backs-us-steels-takeover-by-japans-nippon">took effect</a>, raising duties on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%, with the UK being the sole trading partner exempted from this hike. 
This latest action by the president intensifies ongoing trade disputes between the U.S. and major partners like China and the EU.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.47% and the two-year bond was at 3.96%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 98.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Jim Cramer cautioned that President Trump's erratic trade policies are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45763260/jim-cramer-says-trump-is-distorting-pretty-much-everything-and-thats-making-it-difficult-to-value-stocks-people-would-just-rather-be-short">skewing stock valuations</a> and encouraging short sellers anticipating daily market drops. 
The host of CNBC's "Mad Money" stated that Trump's tariff threats and aggressive global stance are rendering accurate stock pricing almost unachievable.
"When you examine the market's mistakes, they share a common theme: the president's distorting pretty much everything, especially with his tariffs and his jingoistic approach to the rest of the world," reported CNBC.
He also explained that in such a situation, investors would rather be short as they expect the market to come down every day.
Talking about equities, analysts at BlackRock said in their weekly note that they have flipped back to being pro-risk in April.
This came after &#8220;it became clear that hard economic rules limit how far U.S. policy can move from the status quo, such as how foreign investors fund U.S. debt,&#8221; the note stated.
&#8220;Our U.S. equity overweight relies on that rule, just as another rule – supply chains can't rewire overnight without serious disruption – proved binding on trade policy. This overweight is grounded in the artificial intelligence mega force – reinforced by Nvidia's earnings beat last week,&#8221; BlackRock&#8217;s note stated.

Dow Futures Edge Higher After Two Days Of Gains: Expert Says Trump Tariffs 'Distorting Pretty Much Everything'

The White House on Monday revealed a new presidential portrait of Donald Trump, reigniting debate over the administration's use of official imagery for political branding and financial gain.
What Happened: The newly released portrait shows President Trump wearing a blue suit and red tie, set against a stark black background.

Why It's Important: The portrait marks a sharp contrast from Trump's first-term photo, which featured a more traditional, smiling pose.
Both the new image and another portrait released during his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43077283/donald-trump-and-jd-vances-official-portraits-mugshot-meme-vs-smiling-boy-scout">January inauguration</a> draw comparisons to past imagery the Trump campaign has leveraged for merchandising, including T-shirts, mugs and even cryptocurrency-themed products, the report said.
Critics say Trump continues to blur the line between official presidential imagery and political messaging. His mug shot became a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34059149/trumps-mug-shot-fuels-7-1-million-fundraising-surge">powerful visual for supporters</a> and a fundraising tool for his campaign.
Some experts warn the administration is engaging in unprecedented self-promotion, especially after the Department of Agriculture displayed Trump's portrait next to Abraham Lincoln's on the National Mall.

White House Unveils New Portrait Of President Donald Trump Amid Criticism Over Self-Promotion

Pro-cryptocurrency senators are preparing to introduce a landmark legislation this month, aimed at dividing the oversight of digital assets between market regulators.
What Happened: Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) said that the Senate is gearing up to advance its push for crypto-friendly measures, <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/06/03/congress/senate-crypto-stablecoins-legislation-market-republicans-00383565">Politico</a> reported Tuesday. The House Republicans have already<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213365/maxine-waters-to-obstruct-cryptocurrency-hearing-plans-shadow-hearing-instead"> introduced the CLARITY Act</a>, also known as the market structure bill, set for two separate hearings on Wednesday in the lower chamber&#8217;s Financial Services and Agriculture committees.
The proposed legislation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213365/maxine-waters-to-obstruct-cryptocurrency-hearing-plans-shadow-hearing-instead">aims to split&nbsp;cryptocurrency oversight</a> between the Securities&nbsp;and Exchange Commission, supervised&nbsp;by House Financial Services and&nbsp;Senate Banking, and the Commodity&nbsp;Futures Trading Commission, monitored by Congress&#8217;s Agriculture committees. Put simply, it will clearly define whether cryptocurrencies 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>) are securities or commodities.
Lummis confirmed that the Senate&#8217;s version of the bill would closely mirror the House bill. &#8220;We want to be bipartisan and bicameral,&#8221; she stated. She also suggested minor tweaks to the bill, with the intention of introducing it on a bipartisan basis.

Why It Matters: The Senate has been actively working towards establishing rules for digital assets. Last month, the upper chamber voted in favor of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45510057/senate-crypto-bill-passes-key-vote-genius-act-moves-toward-final-passage">advancing the GENIUS Act</a>, also known as the stablecoin bill, overcoming a key procedural hurdle and paving the way for the bill's final passage. Lummis was confident that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45763451/ja">bill would become law</a> by next week.
The move to advance these bills comes in the wake of a growing recognition of the importance of clear regulatory policies for the cryptocurrency industry. In April, SEC Chair&nbsp;Paul Atkins&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/45027836/sec-chair-paul-atkins-says-crypto-deserves-clear-regulatory-rules-praises-crypto-mom-hester-peirces-efforts">highlighted the need for such policies</a> to help the industry thrive in the U.S.

Cynthia Lummis Says Senators Are Gearing Up To Introduce Landmark Legislation For Digital Asset Oversight

The Trump administration is reportedly planning to relax regulations&nbsp;that require companies to disclose&nbsp;executive perks such as private jet use and bodyguard services.
What Happened: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is organizing a roundtable discussion later this month to consider changes to CEO perks disclosure rules. The participants for this roundtable have not been confirmed yet, as per a <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/06/03/2025/trump-administration-lays-groundwork-to-make-ceo-perks-easier-to-hide">report</a> from Semafor.
These perks, which have been growing at a faster rate than total CEO pay, have seen a surge due to the pandemic.&nbsp;Companies have been covering costs for private jets and remote work setups — perks that, once granted, are hard to roll back. The recent rise in spending on personal security likely stems from the murder of an insurance executive last year.
The SEC&#8217;s current definition of these benefits includes anything not &#8220;integrally and directly related&#8221; to the job. Since 2015, the agency has filed a lawsuit against at least 20 companies for concealing the cost of these benefits from shareholders.
Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) have faced scrutiny over executive jet use—Boeing admitted it failed to disclose $500,000 in private jet travel by former CEO Dave Calhoun, while Salesforce began reporting CEO Marc Benioff&#8216;s corporate jet flights between San Francisco and his Hawaii home, classifying some as commuting.
SEC did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45763037/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-shes-adamantly-opposed-to-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-over-this-ai-provision-i-would-have-voted-no-if-i-had-kn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She&#8217;s &#8216;Adamantly Opposed&#8217; To Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Big Beautiful&#8217; Bill Over This AI Provision: &#8216;I Would Have Voted NO If I Had Known This Was In There&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: The move to make CEO perks easier to hide comes amid a broader criticism around the Trump administration favoring the rich at a time when the wealth gap in the U.S. is widening. For instance,&nbsp;Jeff Bezos<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45757006/jeff-bezos-saved-6-2-billion-in-taxes-since-2017-experts-say-trumps-proposed-hike-wont-touch-capital-gains-loophole"> recently saved </a>$6.2 billion in taxes&nbsp;since 2017, a sum that may remain untouched by President Trump&#8217;s proposed tax hike. This has sparked debate about the fairness of the tax system and the need for reforms to address loopholes that benefit the ultra-wealthy.
Similarly,&nbsp;Senator Elizabeth Warren has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45582300/elizabeth-warren-says-jeff-bezos-and-elon-musk-are-popping-champagne-as-house-passes-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-she-calls-a-handout-to-billionaires">criticized </a>Trump&#8217;s tax package&nbsp;as a &#8220;big tax handout for billionaires,&#8221; paid for by cutting healthcare for millions. These discussions highlight the broader issue of wealth inequality and the role of government policy in addressing it.

Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter says that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is the only automaker trying to source batteries from non-Chinese routes at scale as Elon Musk stresses the importance of localization.
What Happened: "Tesla is the only car company that is trying to source batteries, at scale, without relying on China,&#8221; a post shared by influencer Sawyer Merritt on X on Tuesday cited the note released by Potter.
The note also said that Tesla will become completely self-sufficient in the future and produce the components required to manufacture batteries, including raw materials.
"Eventually, Tesla will be making its own cathode active materials, refining its own lithium, building its own anodes, coating its own electrodes, assembling its own cells, and selling its own cars," the note said.
