The S&P 500 12-Month Forward Price-To-Earnings Ratio Is Now Trading Near Its 5-Year Average

Wall Street&#8217;s recovery from its recent technical correction paused for a breather on Tuesday, as investors awaited more clarity on tariff developments and digested a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">downbeat consumer confidence report.</a>
The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 92.9 in March, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">its lowest reading since late 2022</a>. The Expectations Index plunged to 65.2 — a level not seen since 2013 — reflecting growing pessimism. The report cited rising prices, especially for eggs and tariff-affected goods, as key concerns. Inflation expectations also climbed, from 5.8% in February to 6.2% in March.
The S&amp;P 500 and Dow were flat on the day, while the Nasdaq 100 edged slightly higher, supported by gains in cybersecurity stocks.
Copper took center stage, jumping over 2% to hit new record highs.

Wall Street Pauses For A Breather, Miners Rally As Copper Notches All-Time Highs: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

While President Donald Trump's rhetoric on tariffs has taken a noticeably softer tone in recent days, Goldman Sachs remains unmoved and says investors should brace for potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">unwelcome surprises on April 2.</a>
In a note shared Tuesday, Goldman Sachs economist Alec Phillips said markets may be caught off guard by Trump's approach, which appears designed to front-load tariff rates as a negotiation tactic. This echoes the administration's previous strategy on Mexico and Canada, where aggressive initial tariffs were later rolled back.
According to Phillips, the headline tariff rates could land far above investor expectations, potentially causing a shock for markets. 
Could The &#8216;Reciprocal Tariff&#8217; Be A Market Shock?
Despite recent media hints suggesting a narrower, more targeted approach, Goldman Sachs warns the risks lean toward a &#8220;negative surprise&#8221; for investors. According to a recent survey conducted by the bank, participants who expect a reciprocal tariff see an average rate of 9 percentage points. 
"We expect the initially proposed rate to be higher than the survey result, potentially closer to double what market participants expect," Phillips said in the report.
Goldman Sachs indicated Trump's team could propose a rate within the 15%–20% range—before moderating later.
This aggressive opening salvo could mirror past behavior. In 2018, the Trump administration initially imposed steep steel and aluminum tariffs before easing them for allies after a brief period. 
That tactic may return, especially given that the White House has openly stated that new tariffs are intended as a starting point for talks.
According to Phillips, the administration could propose higher rates at the outset, reinforcing the idea that the initial figures may not reflect the endgame—but could still jolt investors in the short term.
On Monday, Trump struck <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44464382/trump-hints-at-tariff-breaks-cheers-hyundai-21b-bet-with-louisiana-steel-plant-deal">a more conciliatory tone on tariffs,</a> saying, "I may give a lot of countries breaks on tariffs," though he also hinted at the magnitude of the potential measures: "They've charged us so much that I'm embarrassed to charge them what they've charged us. But it'll be substantial."
The remarks revived investor risk appetite, prompting a shift away from safe havens like bonds and gold toward riskier assets. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose 1.8%, while the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) jumped 2% as tech stocks led the rally.
What Goes Into The Reciprocal Tariff Math?
According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, 19 countries are currently under review for the reciprocal tariff framework. These nations account for 91% of U.S. imports, and 15 of them run trade surpluses with the U.S., representing 87% of imports.
Goldman Sachs indicates the new reciprocal tariff formula could be built on four components: import tariff differentials, non-tariff barriers, currency misalignments and foreign tax structures.
The investment bank estimates that tariff differentials between the U.S. and other countries stand at 1.3 percentage points, while non-tariff measures—such as regulatory hurdles or intellectual property restrictions—could add another 6 points on average, based on external studies.
On top of that, the administration might include controversial inputs such as value-added taxes and currency undervaluation. Trump has repeatedly cited VATs as unfair, despite them being standard fiscal tools across most economies. Currency misalignments, meanwhile, are tricky to quantify, but the administration could use thresholds to justify further rate hikes.
If all these components are included, Goldman Sachs expects the total increase in effective U.S. tariffs could reach 10 percentage points, up from just over 3 points. In a worst-case scenario, tariffs could rise by as much as 15 points.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of March 25, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Technology companies using a subscription-based business model are more likely to weather economic uncertainty amid the ongoing big-tech selloff, according to CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer. The charts of both Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) showcase a bullish trend based on the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
What Happened: Chartist Bob Lang&#8216;s analysis, reviewed by Cramer, indicates positive outlooks for Spotify and Netflix, with potential for Roku Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>). Cramer highlights their subscription models&#8217; resilience amidst macroeconomic uncertainty.
"If I were to do this, I would buy common stock Spotify, I would buy common stock Netflix, and I would buy calls on Roku – that way I cut off my downside," said Cramer on his Mad Money <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/jim-cramer-chart-shows-how-netflix-spotify-can-weather-uncertainty.html">show</a> on Monday.
Why It Matters: Here&#8217;s an analysis of Netflix and Spotify&#8217;s daily charts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix</h3>
Netflix was higher by 9.62% on a year-to-date basis, outperforming many tech peers, highlighted Cramer. He says that its daily charts reveal a recent rebound with high volume and the MACD exhibits a bullish crossover, a significant positive signal.
According to the data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, NFLX&#8217;s share price of $971.99 apiece as of Monday&#8217;s close was trading above its short and long-term trading averages, whereas its relative strength index of 54 was in the neutral zone.
However, the momentum indicator MACD indicates that the stock is in a bearish trend as the score of its MACD line was -2.52, showing that its 12-period exponential moving average is below the 26-period EMA.
However, the histogram has a positive number of 6.14, meaning that the MACD line is rising and getting closer to the signal line. This is a bullish sign within a bearish trend. It shows that the bearish momentum is decreasing.

Netflix, Spotify Can Weather Economic Uncertainty Because Of Subscription-Based Models, Says Jim Cramer: Here's What Their Charts Indicate

The stock market rally on Monday was reportedly driven by investor optimism for a new approach to tariffs, according to CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer.
What Happened: Cramer attributed the market rebound to the potential for a more transparent future in global trade. He suggested that the crucial element was the prospect of a plan that would allow foreign nations or companies to offset tariffs, as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/mondays-rally-reflects-hopes-for-a-new-path-on-tariffs-jim-cramer-says.html">per</a> a CNBC report. &#8220;It&#8217;s a path, and once you get a path, you get possible transparency and certainty. And that&#8217;s what stock markets like,&#8221; Cramer explained.
Despite caution over President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff plans, investors were hopeful. The President&#8217;s hints at potential tariff breaks for &#8220;a lot of countries&#8221; added to the positive sentiment.
While Cramer didn&#8217;t rule out the possibility of Trump reverting to stricter tariff policies, he suggested that the President may have considered the market&#8217;s reaction when it entered a correction phase a few weeks ago. Major companies, including Stargate,&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), and Hyundai, are beginning to commit to manufacturing in the U.S., adding to the upbeat sentiment.
"Those are wins. Big wins," stated Cramer. "There's now a paradigm that companies can follow if they want to have access to our markets."

Jim Cramer Says Monday Market Rally Fueled By Hopes For A More Predictable Tariff Strategy: '...That's What Stock Markets Like'

U.S. stock futures declined on Tuesday, after advancing for two consecutive sessions on Friday and Monday.
Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket trading, signaling some profit-taking after two days of advances.
President Donald Trump said Monday that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44468587/trump-announces-auto-tariffs-are-imminent-but-some-countries-might-receive-exemptions">automobile tariffs are imminent</a>, though not all will take effect by April 2. During a White House briefing, he suggested some countries may be exempt but provided no details, per Reuters. 
He also introduced a 25% tariff on nations purchasing Venezuelan oil or gas, impacting global prices. A White House official stated that the timeline for industry-specific tariffs, including those on automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor chips, remains unclear.
The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.35%, while the two-year yield was at 4.05%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is an 89.2% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep the interest rates unchanged during its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
As the market has rebounded after Trump&#8217;s softer stance on tariffs, &#8220;Recent calm suggests advisors may have persuaded Trump to hold off the worst, but clarity is essential,&#8221; said senior economist Jeremy Siegel.
&#8220;A clear and measured tariff plan—particularly if it avoids broad retaliation—could trigger a strong relief rally,&#8221; he added.
Market watchers are keenly focused on international trade, with April 2nd emerging as a pivotal date, according to Siegel. The anticipated release of President Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariff plans on that day holds the potential to either alleviate or exacerbate existing trade war concerns, he noted.
Siegel emphasized that the recent 10% equity downturn from December&#8217;s peaks underscores the significant investor apprehension surrounding unpredictable tariff announcements and their potential to destabilize global market sentiment.
Talking about the Federal Reserve&#8217;s commentary last week, Siegel added, &#8220;Fed Chair Powell's tone emphasized flexibility, dismissing long-term inflation fears tied to tariffs, and citing evidence from the financial markets muted long-term expectations. It's no surprise equities liked that combination from Powell, but sentiment remains jittery on tariff side.&#8221;
According to Kathy Jones, managing director and chief fixed income strategist at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, the markets were stuck in a range amid policy uncertainty.
&#8220;Some of the proposed policies are expected to slow growth such as tariffs and limits on immigration, while tax cuts and deregulation could boost growth. Similarly, some policies are likely to raise inflation pressures while slower growth could reduce them. With the Fed on hold amid the policy &#8216;uncertainty,&#8217; the market is stuck in a range.&#8221;

US Stocks Likely To Open Lower After 2-Day Advance: Clear And Measured Tariff Plan Could 'Trigger A Strong Relief Rally,' Says Expert

Goldman Sachs has predicted a 3% annualized growth in the S&amp;P 500 index over the next 10 years in a base case scenario, however, this expert warns that such a prediction highlights &#8220;no relationship&#8221; between the valuation metric price-to-earnings ratio and real returns.
What Happened: According to Goldman Sachs&#8217;s <a href="https://www.gspublishing.com/content/research/en/reports/2024/10/18/29e68989-0d2c-4960-bd4b-010a101f711e.html">global strategy paper</a>, the annualized 10-year returns for the S&amp;P 500 stood at 13% for the period between 2014 to 2024. The distribution around this forecast ranges from -1% to +7%, with 3% being the baseline. 
However, Seth Golden, the chief market strategist at Finom Group, has said &#8220;With this forecast, caveat being there is no relationship between P/E and real returns.&#8221;
This implies that he doesn&#8217;t think that high or low P/E ratios necessarily predict future real returns. Golden is challenging a fundamental assumption of Goldman&#8217;s model, suggesting that their forecast might be based on a potentially unreliable relationship.

Why It Matters: According to the paper released by Goldman, their long-term equity returns are modeled as a function of five variables: starting absolute valuation, stock market concentration, economic contraction frequency, corporate profitability, and interest rates.
This implies that they believe the P/E ratio, or similar valuation metrics, has a predictive power regarding future real returns.
&#8220;Our baseline return forecast is most sensitive to changes in starting valuation. All else equal a one multiple change in starting valuations would change our baseline return forecast by 31 bp,&#8221; the paper added.
The paper also highlights that equities will face stiff competition from other assets during the next decade. There is a high probability that the S&amp;P 500 will underperform bonds and inflation.
&#8220;Our 3% annualized equity return forecast combined with a current ten-year U.S. Treasury yield of 4% and ten-year breakeven inflation of 2.2% suggests the S&amp;P 500 has roughly a 72% probability of trailing bonds and a 33% likelihood of lagging inflation through 2034,&#8221; stated the strategy paper.
However, the criticism from Golden reaffirms the debate amongst investors and analysts about the reliability of valuation metrics to predict future market performance.
Price Action: The S&amp;P 500 index has fallen by 1.72%, the Nasdaq 100 is down 3.79% and Dow Jones is up 0.45% on a year-to-date basis.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Monday. The SPY advanced 1.79% to $574.08, and the QQQ gained 2.19% to $490.66, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
On Tuesday, the future of Dow Jones fell by 0.10%, whereas the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 declined by 0.05% and 0.03% respectively.

Goldman Forecasts 3% Growth For S&P 500 Over Next Decade: Expert Contradicts, Says It Has 'No Relationship' With Real Returns

President Donald Trump hinted at tariff relief for select nations in a White House appearance on Monday, while celebrating Hyundai Motor Co. (OTCPK: HYMLF) 's $21 billion investment push in Louisiana, a move that includes increased steel output and underscores growing foreign confidence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">in America&#8217;s manufacturing sector.</a>
Trump reiterated that reciprocal tariffs are expected to be announced on Apr. 2, but suggested some flexibility: "I may give a lot of countries breaks on tariffs," he said, adding that "not all tariffs will be included on April 2."
Trump&#8217;s remarks mark a significant twist in his tariff strategy, long defined by aggressive policies aimed at reducing the country&#8217;s trade deficits. 
"They've charged us so much that I'm embarrassed to charge them what they've charged us," Trump said. "But it'll be substantial."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Tariffs Incoming, But Not for Everyone</h3>
Trump confirmed that new tariffs targeting foreign-made automobiles, chips and lumber will be unveiled "over the next days," though details remain limited. 
"We're going to get all those chip companies coming back," Trump said.
A separate 25% tariff on oil-importing nations trading with Venezuela, announced earlier on Monday, was also confirmed. 
The levy will be in addition to existing duties, Trump clarified. 
Trump dubbed the broader tariff push "Liberation Day," describing it as a turning point for the U.S. economy that would deliver "lower taxes and all the things that are good—and jobs, a lot of jobs."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hyundai Commits $21B To US Manufacturing</h3>
Trump appeared alongside Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and Hyundai executive chair Euisun Chung to unveil the South Korean automaker's ambitious expansion in the United States. 
The centerpiece is a new steel plant in Louisiana expected to produce more than 2.7 million metric tons of steel annually and create about 1,400 jobs.
Hyundai will be exempted from tariff applications, Trump indicated. 
"This is the beginning of a lot of things happening," Trump said. "Hyundai is a great company. We have other great companies coming in… We're well into the $3 and $4 trillion mark [in investments], which has never happened to our country before."
The Hyundai steel facility is just one part of the company's broader U.S. strategy. In his Monday remarks, Chung said the firm is committing $6 billion to strengthen the American steel supply chain. 
A separate $8 billion EV manufacturing plant is opening this week in Georgia. Hyundai also plans to purchase $3 billion worth of U.S. liquefied natural gas.
Altogether, the company plans to invest $21 billion in the U.S. over the next four years.
Trump also highlighted major investment commitments from other companies such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). 
"We're well into the $3 and $4 trillion mark [in investments], which has never happened to our country before," he said. "What it really means is jobs. We care about jobs."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Louisiana's Industrial Boom: 50 Billion In Projects</h3>
"I told them we would have a great president this year," Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, a staunch Trump ally, said. 
"It's not just promises, it's about action. We'll have $50 billion worth of construction projects going on in Louisiana. That is a record, Mr. President."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Wall Street advanced further during afternoon trading in New York amid reassuring Trump remarks on tariffs. The S&amp;P 500 index – tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – was up 1.8%. 
Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rallied 11%, while the broader the tech sector as tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) soared 2%.

Trump Hints At Tariff 'Breaks,' Cheers Hyundai's $21B Bet With Louisiana Steel Plant Deal

While President Donald Trump's economic policies — particularly related to tariffs — have clouded the broader narrative, at least some sectors could see a reprieve. According to a Bloomberg report, the Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/futures/25/03/44454222/why-sp-500-and-nasdaq-futures-are-rising-today">might not pursue levies on critical industries</a> like automobiles and semiconductors, at least for the time being. Naturally, this development has strong implications for Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
Of course, the major tailwind is not an exclusive catalyst for MU stock. For example, one of the main tech benchmarks, Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), popped around 2% on Monday, while the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) wasn't too far behind. It goes without saying that the usual suspects in the semiconductor space, such as Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), benefited handsomely from the surge.
Nevertheless, investors may want to pay close attention to MU stock. For one thing, the underlying company is critically important for artificial intelligence. Generative AI is a data-hungry machine, and Micron—thanks to its memory and storage infrastructure specialty—feeds it.
Specifically, AI workloads require massive amounts of data for training and operating purposes. Advanced systems are constantly moving data in and out of memory. Micron's dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and flash storage (NAND) products allow this process to happen quickly and reliably.
Second, Micron is coming off an upbeat second-quarter earnings report. Revenue of $8.05 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.56 beat the respective analysts' targets of $7.89 billion and $1.42 per share. Even better, management broadcast optimism for the third quarter due to DRAM and NAND demand growth in both data center and consumer markets.
Subsequently, MU stock slipping about 17% below parity over the past 52 weeks seems to be a discount.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Smart Money Inflows Offer the Most Important Opinion About MU Stock</h2>
As encouraging as the fundamental winds are, they won't matter much if the market doesn't respond in kind. For this response to materialize, it's not enough for individual investors to have positive vibes. Instead, institutional money needs to talk with their wallets, which appears to be happening with MU stock.
Earlier on Monday, Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/03/44458988/check-out-what-whales-are-doing-with-micron-technology">options scanner</a> identified unusual activity in Micron's derivative contracts, with big money piling in. Most conspicuously, the highest dollar-volume trade was for 3,300 contracts of the $100 call expiring next month on April 17. This trade is significant because of the relatively unambiguous nature of the transaction.
Because the sentiment is bullish, the call options represent a debit transaction; that is, the trader must pay the premium (or the ask price) to acquire the calls. By logical deduction, the breakeven price for such a transaction is the strike price plus the premium paid. In this case, the trader is signaling that before expiration, MU stock should pop above $103.30.
Bear in mind that a bought call option can only be profitable if it rises above the breakeven threshold, based on intrinsic or extrinsic value or a combination of both. While it's not guaranteed that MU stock will swing higher from here, it's reasonable to assume that the whales believe upside is approaching.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="595" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24144633/MU-stock-technical-analysis-1024x595.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-839094" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24144633/MU-stock-technical-analysis-1024x595.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24144633/MU-stock-technical-analysis-300x174.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24144633/MU-stock-technical-analysis-768x446.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24144633/MU-stock-technical-analysis.jpg 1036w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by TradingView</figcaption></figure>
Enticingly, in the technical chart, MU stock appears to be forming a pattern reminiscent of a bullish pennant. If anything, the price action since September last year is noticeably funneling into an apex. From the above data, the whales are positioning for a big breakout.
Adding to the enthusiasm is the statistical argument. As a baseline, MU stock (using data over the past six years) enjoys an upward bias. A long position held for any given eight-week period has a 56.15% chance of rising.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-839071" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Under the dynamic conditions of sizable volatility — defined as a weekly loss between 5% and 10%, as occurred last week — an eight-week hold sees long odds rise to nearly 62%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Ways to Roll the Dice on MU Stock</h2>
With the whales targeting the April 17 $100 calls, it makes sense to duplicate this trade. However, retail traders can leverage demand for this derivative by selling it in a net bullish transaction called the bull call spread. Here's how one iteration works out.
Consider the 95/100 bull spread expiring April 17. This transaction involves buying the $95 call (at a time-of-writing ask of $530) and simultaneously selling the $100 call (at a bid of $288). The proceeds from the short call partially offset the debit paid for the long call, resulting in a net cash outlay of $242, the most that can be lost in the trade.
Should MU stock hit the $100 short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward comes out to be the difference between the strike prices (multiplied by 100 shares per contract) and the debit paid, or nominally $258. This translates to a payout of almost 107%.
Another simpler approach is to buy the MU stock call option straight up. If going this route, it might make sense to buy a longer-expiry call, such as the May 16 expiration date. This way, traders can give themselves extra time for the potential bullish pennant to break out.

Options Corner: Big Money Flows Into Micron Amid Easing Tariff Pressures

Wall Street soared Monday, kicking off the week in full risk-on mode as investors welcomed signs of easing trade tensions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44459470/us-business-activity-rebounds-as-services-growth-outpaces-forecasts-yet-cost-pressures-intensify">stronger-than-expected economic data. </a>
President Donald Trump&#8216;s softer tone on potential tariffs ahead of the looming April 2, 2025 deadline helped calm nerves. Adding to the optimism, fresh business surveys showed a strong rebound in services activity in March, easing recession worries.
U.S. economic activity accelerated in March, with the Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rising rom 51.6 in February to to 53.5. Services PMI jumped to 54.3 — well above consensus forecasts of 50.8 and sharply higher than the prior month's 51.0 reading. Yet, the report also flagged a notable uptick in cost pressures, as businesses reported growing concerns over input prices, likely linked to heightened speculation around potential tariff measures.
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.75% by midday in New York, on track for its best one-day performance since mid-January. The Nasdaq 100 rallied 2%, mirroring gains from March 14 — the index's strongest day since early November 2024.
Small caps outperformed their large-cap peers, underscoring the market's improving risk appetite. The Russell 2000 surged 2.8%, marking its best session since the post-election rally on Nov. 6, 2024.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the charge on both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100, soaring 9.8%, on track for its sharpest one-day gain since early November.
All seven mega-cap tech stocks posted solid gains, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>) climbing 2.9% after Friday's 1.4% rise, setting up what could be its strongest two-day advance since early January.
Every S&amp;P 500 sector, except utilities, traded in positive territory, with consumer discretionary and technology leading the pack.
The U.S. dollar index edged higher, eyeing a fourth consecutive session of gains. Meanwhile, Treasury yields spiked across the curve as investors rotated out of safe-haven assets. The 10-year yield jumped seven basis points to 4.32%, while the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 0.9%.
Gold pulled back 0.3% to $3,014 per ounce, on pace for its third straight decline, as investors favored riskier assets.
Oil prices gained 1.5% after Trump threatened a 25% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44460897/oil-prices-rally-exxon-hits-16-week-highs-as-trump-vows-25-tariffs-on-any-country-buying-venezuelan-crude">countries importing Venezuelan crude.</a>
Crypto-related assets also rallied. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climbed 2.7% to $88,400, while MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) jumped 7.4% and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) rose 6.2%.

S&P 500 Rallies On Best Day In 2 Months As Recession Fears Ease, Tesla Rockets, Bitcoin Hits $88,000: What's Driving Markets Monday?

WIIM

Major indexes are higher amid reports suggesting tariffs could be narrower and more targeted.

The U.S. economy stands at a critical juncture. Mounting recession fears are colliding with the possibility of a technology-fueled productivity boom that could reshape the decade and power the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">market to new heights.</a>
In a note shared Monday, Ed Yardeni, one of Wall Street's most enduring bulls, said the U.S. economy faces "a fork in the road." The Yardeni Research president gives a 65% probability of a so-called Roaring 2020s scenario and a 35% chance of a more stagnant, stagflationary outcome, including a recession.
"We've decided to fold our 1990s meltup/meltdown scenario into our Roaring 2020s scenario," Yardeni said. 
"The current correction in the stock market suggests that the former has played out already, as the bull market's highflyers have been hit hardest."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Current Market Correction?</h3>
Markets have clearly been rattled. The S&amp;P 500 index — as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — has declined 10.1% from its Feb. 19 peak through Mar. 13, while the Nasdaq 100, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), has slid 11.8% since its Dec. 16 high.
&#8220;The Magnificent-7 stocks led the recent rout,&#8221; Yardeni said.
The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>)—tracking the elite group of tech giants like Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), 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>), Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) —has dropped 18.8% from its Dec. 17 peak.
This contrasts with the Defiance Large Cap ex-Mag 7 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXMAGS#NYSE">EXMAGS</a>), often referred to as the "S&amp;P 493," which is down just 6% since mid-February. The sharper decline in tech mega caps signals that the stock market correction is concentrated among prior highflyers.
These types of corrections—defined as 10%-20% pullbacks—typically reflect rising fears of an economic downturn.
Yet Yardeni stressed that forward earnings for the S&amp;P 500 continue to hit record highs, suggesting that Wall Street analysts remain more optimistic than investors. That divergence, he said, can be attributed to analysts being closely tied to corporate guidance, which often downplays macro fears.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> Two-Sided Outlook: Stagflation Or Productivity Boom?</h3>
Yardeni raised his recession probability to 35% earlier this month, attributing the increase to a "Trump Turmoil 2.0" characterized by tariff threats and political instability. Yet, his base case remains anchored in optimism.
In his Roaring 2020s scenario, Yardeni sees real GDP growth fueled by a 2% annual increase in productivity and labor force growth of 0.5%-1%, supporting potential economic expansion of 2.5%-3% annually. 
That would keep inflation in check, lift profit margins, boost wages and purchasing power, and ultimately push the S&amp;P 500 to 10,000 by the decade&#8217;s end.
"This includes the possibility of a rebound in the former highflyers," Yardeni said, suggesting tech stocks could still have room to run once market jitters subside.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What The Fed And Markets Are Pricing In</h3>
The Federal Reserve's March dot plot revealed that policymakers are still anticipating two rate cuts in 2024, followed by two in 2025 and one more in 2027. 
The longer-run federal funds rate remains anchored at 3%. These projections, along with the downgrade in real GDP forecasts to 1.7% for 2025, reflect the Fed's view of a soft landing. They also acknowledge the economic drags coming from tighter fiscal policy and potential trade disruptions.
Fed officials trimmed their real GDP growth expectations across the board: 
<ul>
<li>from 2.1% to 1.7% for 2025</li>
<li>from 2.0% to 1.8% for 2026, and</li>
<li>from 1.9% to 1.8% for 2027.</li>
</ul>
The Fed also raised its inflation forecast for core personal consumption expenditures, the central bank's preferred inflation gauge, to 2.8% for year-end 2024, up from 2.5% in December.
Kalshi, a prediction market regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, shows a 40% probability of a U.S. recession in 2025. That&#8217;s slightly higher than Yardeni's 35% estimate. These odds have ticked higher recently, mirroring growing concern over macro headwinds and geopolitical noise.

US Economy Faces 'Fork In The Road': Is Yardeni's 'Roaring 2020s' Still Possible?

Trade tensions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">Fed policy shifts</a> and weakening sentiment are creating a stormy outlook for the global economy.
JPMorgan's Bruce Kasman just upped the ante on recession risks, pegging the odds of a 2025 U.S./global downturn at 40%. That's not just a number—it's a warning shot for investors navigating an increasingly volatile landscape.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trade War Fears Are Back &#8211; ETFs Are Already Reacting</h2>
Kasman's outlook hinges on one major factor: trade policy. With tariffs expected to push the effective U.S. rate above 10%, he sees a 0.5% GDP drag next year. But the real risk? A domino effect. 
If business sentiment cracks, capital expenditures slow and inflation limits Fed maneuverability, markets could turn defensive fast.
Investors aren't waiting for confirmation &#8211; ETF flows are already shifting. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EEM#NYSE">EEM</a>) has seen a surge in outflows as investors brace for trade turbulence. 
Meanwhile, defensive plays like the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>) and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) are catching bids as risk appetite wanes.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can The Fed Hold The Line?</h2>
The Fed isn't rushing to cut rates despite rising trade war concerns. Kasman notes that while policymakers remain "asymmetric" &#8211; ready to ease in a labor market downturn but unwilling to hike on strong growth &#8211; this stance leaves little cushion if sentiment nosedives.
That's a potential headwind for growth-focused ETFs like Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which relies on a Fed-friendly backdrop.
But it's not all doom and gloom. A front-loaded boost in global trade is temporarily lifting manufacturing ETFs, with the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>) seeing inflows as global industrial production spikes.
The question is: how long does that last before trade war fears fully set in?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Playbook For Recession Risks</h2>
With uncertainty mounting, ETF investors are playing both offense and defense. Those bracing for more pain are rotating into SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) and Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VDC#NYSE">VDC</a>), while bargain hunters are eyeing SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) for potential buy-the-dip opportunities.
Bottom line? 
The 40% recession probability isn't just a macro call &#8211; it's already reshaping ETF positioning. If sentiment sours further, this shift is only getting started.

Trade Wars, Fed Moves And A 40% Recession Risk - Is Your Portfolio Ready?

Wall Street remains in the red heading into the end of the week, with major indexes posting modest midday losses in New York, though well off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the session&#8217;s earlier lows.</a>
At a White House event, President Donald Trump said there would be flexibility on the upcoming tariffs, easing investor concerns that their planned implementation on April 2 could trigger major disruptions.

The news helped improve risk sentiment in equities, while gold is having its worst session since late February, down 1% as traders scale back positions in safe-haven assets.
The U.S. dollar reversed course to notch weekly gains after two consecutive weeks of losses. Among mega-cap stocks, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the way, climbing 4.9% and 4.2%, respectively.
Boeing, up 11% for the week, is on track for its strongest weekly performance since July 2023 after securing a multibillion-dollar contract to design and build a next-generation fighter jet for the U.S. Air Force—beating out rival Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), which fell 6%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dipped 0.4% to below $84,000 but is still holding onto weekly gains.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of March 21, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

As gold prices trend upward, World Gold Council data and experts highlight that the U.S. might be repatriating gold owing to tariff fears, securing a strong domestic reserve, possible gold audits, and ending globalization.
What Happened: Gold surpassed the $3,000 per ounce mark and it&#8217;s now headed toward $3,100 with its last record high at $3,057.51.
According to Josh Phair, the CEO of <a href="https://www.scottsdalemint.com/articles/2025/watch-banks-are-frantically-moving-gold-to-us-soil/?srsltid=AfmBOoqutL5epyFSGzKCK_iCfneYV3yljVCp88alEucm9CqW8K9fZp6j">Scottsdale Mint</a>, a U.S.-based manufacturer and distributor of precious metal products, the repatriation trend became noticeable in December as the exchange for physical premiums increased.
He added that after the new year, &#8220;I think everyone realized this is primarily driven by tariff risk and the banks are not in the business of taking risk – they do not want to pick up pennies in front of freight trains. The goal was to get all the metal stateside.&#8221;
He also said that there must be an &#8220;invisible hand&#8221; with the uncertainty around the new administration, the possibility of a gold audit after Elon Musk and Donald Trump urged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43875557/donald-trump-airs-fort-knox-inspection-as-gold-edges-closer-to-3000-it-is-an-essential-component-of-portfolio-says-expert">Fort Knox inspection</a> in February. 
Phair emphasized the risk aversion of banks and the broader trend of countries wanting to secure their gold holdings within their own borders, citing the example of Germany.
Speaking about the geopolitical context of repatriation, with a move away from globalization and toward self-sufficiency, he added, &#8220;I think we're ending kind of the world of globalization. Now people are saying hey we need to be self-sufficient, we need to find new partnerships. For the same reason that China has been pulling their metal and buying metal out of Europe now for a couple years.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Data from the World Gold Council showed that gold was being exported from Switzerland to the U.S.

Apart from the U.S., a report by Marissa Salim, the senior research lead of APAC at the World Gold Council <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/gold-focus/2025/03/central-banks-stay-bullish-bullion-january">highlighted</a> that APAC central banks reported 18 tonnes of net purchases in January 2025.
&#8220;Emerging market central banks remain at the forefront of net buying, with Uzbekistan, China, and Kazakhstan the top three buyers,&#8221; she said.
According to Taylor Burnette, the research lead at the <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/gold-focus/2025/03/you-asked-we-answered-gold-hits-3000-what-comes-next">World Gold Council</a>, &#8220;Gold surged from US$2,500/oz to US$3,000 in just 210 days, pushing it three standard deviations above its 200-day moving average.&#8221;
&#8220;While gold may face some consolidation due to the speed of its latest move, the combination of geopolitical and geoeconomic uncertainty, rising inflation, lower rates, and a weaker US dollar continue to provide powerful tailwinds to investment demand,&#8221; he said.
Price Action: Gold was trading at $3,031.30 per ounce, down 0.46% as of the publication of this article.

Gold Nears $3,100 Mark As US Accelerates Repatriation Amid Tariff Fears, Possibility Of An Audit

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO, Jensen Huang admitted his comments about quantum computing developments in January, which led to a decline in quantum computing stocks were wrong. He discussed the developments in the field with the leaders of these companies during the GTC AI Conference on Thursday.
What Happened: Huang&#8217;s statements in January pulled the shares of quantum computing companies down, with some experiencing losses exceeding 40%.
During CES 2025, Huang stated that practical quantum computing is likely two decades away. Nvidia set a timeline of 15 to 30 years for "very useful" quantum computers, with a consensus within the company leaning towards a 20-year horizon.
During GTC on Thursday, he said, "My first reaction was, I didn't know they were public! How could a quantum computer company be public?" he said.
Huang said "They can explain why I was wrong," pointing toward the panel of speakers that he had invited from firms like PsiQuantum, D-Wave Quantum Inc., and IonQ Inc.
Despite acknowledging his previous remarks, Huang urged a reevaluation of quantum computing, suggesting it be viewed as a &#8220;quantum instrument&#8221; rather than a traditional computer.
He argued that applying conventional computer standards hinders the field&#8217;s progress, describing it as &#8220;an unfortunate expectation&#8221;. While panelists, including D-Wave&#8217;s CEO, questioned this reframing, Huang maintained his intent to advance the industry.

Why It Matters: Thursday&#8217;s clarifications and conversations around quantum computing stocks failed to lift them. The stocks fell on Thursday and were trading lower in the premarket on Friday.

However, despite his reservations, Huang envisioned quantum technology enhancing traditional computers by establishing foundational truths in science, driving advancements in drug discovery and materials.
He expressed satisfaction with the industry&#8217;s progress, even if his previous skepticism proved incorrect. "I think the progress of the industry is incredible," he said.

Jensen Huang Admits Mistake, Says 'I Was Wrong' About Quantum Computing: Apology Fails To Lift RGTI, IONQ, QBTS, QUBT

U.S. stock futures declined on Friday after tumbling in trade on Thursday. Futures of all four benchmark indices were lower in premarket trading.
While Jerome Powell&#8216;s comments on tariff-induced &#8220;transitory&#8221; inflation buoyed the market on Wednesday, the concerns about the projections of higher inflation and lower economic growth dampened the markets on Thursday.
However, the &#8220;dot plot&#8221; still projected two rate cuts in 2025, maintaining the Fed&#8217;s initial forecast.
The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.22%, while the two-year yield was at 3.94%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.htm">tool</a>, there is an 83.8% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep the interest rates unchanged during its May meeting.

Cues From The Last Session
Only energy, utilities, financials, and healthcare sectors advanced on Thursday, whereas materials, consumer staples, and information technology sectors led the decline.
Darden Restaurants Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRI#NYSE">DRI</a>) shares rose 6% on strong earnings, while Accenture Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>) fell 7% due to lower-than-expected guidance.
U.S. jobless claims rose slightly, indicating a stable March labor market, but rising trade tensions and government spending cuts cloud the outlook. Longer unemployment durations were also noted. Philadelphia Fed manufacturing, while still expanding, slowed in March, falling to 12.5, though exceeding forecasts.
February U.S. home sales rose to 4.26 million units, exceeding forecasts, as supply increased, though economic uncertainty poses a risk. Meanwhile, the U.S. Leading Economic Index fell 0.3% in February, continuing a decline, but the six-month pace of decline slowed significantly.
As of Thursday, the Nasdaq 100 remains in correction territory, having fallen 11.45% from its prior peak. Similarly, the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 have dropped 6.92% and 7.88%, respectively, from their 52-week highs.

Insights From Analysts
Analysts at BlackRock said that markets were doubting U.S. growth and equity strength. &#8220;Yet economic conditions don't signal a downturn. Resilient earnings keep us overweight U.S. stocks.&#8221;
The note added that the recent volatility was exacerbated by policy uncertainty and investors moving out of crowded positions.
According to them, &#8220;Over time, deleveraging will have run its course, and uncertainty will likely ease as we get more policy implementation details, such as the White House's full tariff plan due in April.&#8221;
&#8220;We think the biggest risk to U.S. growth is prolonged policy uncertainty. U.S. stocks could face more near-term pressure, but we stay overweight on our tactical horizon. We stay underweight long-term Treasuries as we see yields rising,&#8221; the note stated.
Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates reiterated that he expects four rate cuts in 2025. &#8220;I am anticipating global interest rates to crash due to the fact that economic growth in Asia is weak, while Britain, Canada, France, Germany, and Mexico are all in the midst of economic contractions. As a result, I am expecting that the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, and other central banks to continue to slash key interest rates, which in turn, will cause Treasury yields to decline. And since the Fed does not fight market rates, four key interest rate cuts are still on the table,&#8221; he said.
Meanwhile, Ryan Detrick of Carson Research highlighted that all bear markets start with a correction, but not all corrections turn into a bear market.
He highlighted historical data where 13 of the previous 39 corrections turned into bear markets. &#8216;
