S&P 500 Futures Turn Positive In Volatile Trading Session

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is being scrutinized by the courts over allegations that the current administration is unlawfully obstructing its grant-making process.
In February, under updated guidelines, NIH said it would now&nbsp;apply&nbsp;a standard indirect cost rate of 15% to all new and existing grants, replacing the previous practice of negotiating separate <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43618745/us-states-sue-national-institutes-of-health-over-4-billion-annual-cut-in-biomedical-research-grant-budget" rel="noreferrer noopener">rates for each grant</a>.
In March, a federal court issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the NIH following its abrupt decision to slash and cap indirect cost rates on&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44200499/national-institutes-of-health-terminates-some-research-grants-amid-political-and-policy-shift" rel="noreferrer noopener">biomedical research grants</a>.
The ruling prevents the implementation of the policy change, affecting billions of dollars in funding and disrupting ongoing&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43618745/us-states-sue-national-institutes-of-health-over-4-billion-annual-cut-in-biomedical-research-grant-budget" rel="noreferrer noopener">research and clinical trials</a>.
Last week, sixteen state attorneys general filed a complaint against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) over research grant terminations.
Plaintiffs argue that the White House has launched a coordinated campaign to delay and terminate NIH grants, undermining scientific progress and threatening the economic and health benefits that stem from NIH-funded research.
NIH is the largest public funder of medical research globally, credited with catalyzing transformative breakthroughs such as the rubella vaccine, treatments for HIV/AIDS, and the discovery of the BRCA mutation linked to breast and ovarian cancer.
In fiscal year 2024 alone, NIH distributed over $36 billion in research awards, generating more than $94 billion in economic activity and supporting over 407,000 jobs across the United States. According to the <a target="_blank" href="https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/court-filings/masssachusetts-et-al-v-robert-f-kennedy-jr-united-states-department-of-health-and-human-services-et-al-complaint-2025.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">lawsuit</a> filed on Friday, that progress is now at risk.
Since January, the NIH has allegedly halted or indefinitely delayed reviews of fundable grant applications and canceled critical meetings by review panels. Even applications that passed scientific and advisory review stages have reportedly been left without final decisions.
The plaintiffs claim this violates the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires agencies to act within a reasonable time and breaches constitutional separation-of-powers principles.
The legal filing also challenges NIH's termination of hundreds of existing grants.
Plaintiffs say these cancellations are politically motivated, citing boilerplate justifications tied to topics like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), transgender issues, and vaccine hesitancy—areas purportedly out of favor with the current administration.
The lawsuit argues that these terminations lack a lawful basis and fail to offer legitimate explanations or consider the broader implications.
These disruptions have already inflicted substantial damage. For instance, the University of Massachusetts has rescinded dozens of graduate school offers due to funding uncertainty, derailing its biomedical sciences program and jeopardizing ongoing research.
Plaintiffs warn that unless the court intervenes, the harm to public institutions and national scientific leadership will continue to grow.
The lawsuit seeks immediate judicial intervention to compel the NIH to resume its lawful grant-review process and reinstate improperly terminated awards.

NIH Faces Legal Battle Over Scientific Grant Cuts And Political Influence

Analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58485285ee7bf6000154d235/jamie-baker">Jamie Baker</a> of JPMorgan trimmed estimates for several U.S. airlines for the second quarter.
Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)
<ul>
<li>Rating: Overweight</li>
<li>Price Target: $83</li>
</ul>
Delta remains the "industry leader among full-service airlines," Baker wrote in the note. Before COVID-19, the company generated the highest margins among peers, which was "at least partly structural," and its balance sheet allowed it to be under less strain than others during the pandemic downturn, he stated.
After COVID-19, Delta witnessed "industry-leading loyalty economics, international travel tailwinds and robust premium product demand, trends we think will continue for the foreseeable future," the analyst said.
American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>)
Rating: Overweight
Price Target: $26
While American Airlines&#8217; balance sheet issues remain, "execution on deleveraging has effectively removed significant overhang, with the lowest capital spend of DAL and UAL in the near term providing runway for further improvement," Baker wrote.
American Airlines stands to benefit from the demand recovery being led by international travel, which continues to accelerate more than domestic, he added.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) 
<ul>
<li>Rating: Neutral</li>
<li>Price Target: $6</li>
</ul>
JetBlue has the ability to move past its failed acquisition of Spirit Airlines (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVEQ#OTC">SAVEQ</a>) and "recapture lost margin ground on Legacy carriers," the analyst stated.
"JBLU possesses all the tailwinds currently benefitting the sector: premium product, meaningful loyalty, and international travel, albeit all to a significantly lesser degree than the Big 3 of DAL, UAL and AAL," he further wrote.
Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)
<ul>
<li>Rating: Underweight</li>
<li>Price Target: $30</li>
</ul>
Southwest Airlines has "the industry's deepest track record of profitability, the highest quality balance sheet, and a loyal customer base," Baker said.
He added that the company faces operational issues and carriers with premium and international exposure should outperform Southwest Airlines in the near term.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)
<ul>
<li>Rating: Overweight</li>
<li>Price Target: $133</li>
</ul>
United Airlines "possesses exposure to the strongest industry tailwinds, primarily robust demand for international travel and premium products," the analyst wrote.
"With Legacy airlines widening the outperformance gap over LCCs (low-cost carriers), we expect trends to continue to favor the Big 3 (DAL, UAL, AAL) in the medium term," he further stated.
Price Action: At the time of publication on Monday:
<ul>
<li>Delta Air Lines shares declined by 0.16% to $37.19.</li>
<li>American Airlines rose by 1.56% to $9.61.</li>
<li>JetBlue Airways rose by 2.92% to $4.06.</li>
<li>Southwest Airlines declined by 1.74% to $25.42.</li>
<li>United Airlines Holdings rose by 0.31% to $58.01.</li>

Which US Airline Faces The Strongest Industry Tailwinds?

Strategy Inc. (CRYPTO: MSTR) on Monday revealed $5.91 billion in unrealized losses on its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings for the first quarter of 2025, according to a recent filing with the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/content/44529421/sec-officially-drops-crypto-com-probe-no-action-taken-ceo-confirms">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a>.
The sharp downturn comes amid heightened macroeconomic uncertainty and a broader sell-off across digital assets and equities.
What Happened: In a Form 8-K <a href="https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf8d808d9b8cebd37/blt941a23a55f18d2b0/67f2f722e78a92adc130dcaf/form-8-k_04-07-2025.pdf">filed </a>Monday, the company disclosed that no additional Bitcoin was purchased between March 31 and April 4, citing lack of participation in its MSTR common stock and STRK preferred share offering during that period.
This marks a rare pause for the Bitcoin-heavy firm, which has been a prominent buyer since 2020.
Despite the volatility, Strategy added 80,715 BTC in Q1, spending approximately $7.66 billion through proceeds from its ongoing equity issuance program. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44670129/bitcoin-whipsaws-as-trillions-in-market-value-are-erased-on-fake-tariff-pause-rumor">Bitcoin Whipsaws As Trillions In Market Value Are Erased On Fake Tariff Pause Rumor</a>
The company paid an average price of $94,922 per Bitcoin, though the asset ended the quarter below $84,000 — an 11.82% drop, according to CoinGlass, marking Bitcoin's worst quarterly performance since 2018.
As of April 7, Strategy holds 528,185 BTC, making up nearly 3% of Bitcoin's total 21 million coin supply.
The company's total outlay since 2020 stands at approximately $36 billion, with an average purchase price of $67,458 per Bitcoin. Its holdings are currently valued at over $43 billion.
What&#8217;s Next: The losses coincided with the aftermath of last week's &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariff escalation, which roiled global markets.
Asian stocks sank and cryptocurrency markets shed more than 10% in value over 24 hours, slashing the total market cap to $2.5 trillion.
Strategy's own stock, MSTR, is trading down about 11% in trading on Monday.

Shares of companies in the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading lower amid trade war escalations and President Trump's sweeping tariffs, which are leading to a decline in consumer confidence. Some economists also predict that households will experience higher costs of goods as a result of these policies.

Hopes that President Donald Trump could delay the sweeping reciprocal tariffs his administration announced last week appears to be the driving force behind the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44670193/wall-street-turmoil-deepens-as-trump-threatens-massive-china-tariffs-bitcoin-wobbles-at-78k-whats-driving-markets-monday">wild volatility in markets Monday morning</a>.
What To Know: Trump announced aggressive tariffs on numerous countries last week, raising concerns about higher prices for consumers, weakening demand and a potential recession.
The tariff announcement sparked a massive selloff in broader markets with the S&amp;P 500 closing out its worst week since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Stocks entered bear market territory Monday morning but staged a sharp reversal after a headline circled suggesting Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs, citing National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett as the source.
Hassett was on <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6371177546112">Fox Business</a> Monday morning discussing tariffs, but he didn&#8217;t mention anything about a potential pause from the Trump administration. 
It&#8217;s not clear where the headline originated, but Carl Quintanilla, co-anchor of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk on the Street,&#8221; reported it shortly after the market soared. CNBC noted that it was working to confirm the headline and did not provide a source for the news.

Popular financial news accounts <a href="https://x.com/zerohedge/status/1909248325397643410">@zerohedge</a> and <a href="https://x.com/mattmfm/status/1909254546326421644">@deitaone</a> appear to have posted the headline just before CNBC reported it. The accounts attributed the information to Reuters. 
Reuters published a story on the 90-day pause around the same time, but cited CNBC as its source for the information, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Reuters officially withdrew the &#8220;incorrect report&#8221; after the White House confirmed it was false.
