The team behind First Digital USD (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">FDUSD</a>) addressed concerns regarding financial stability Wednesday&nbsp;after the dollar-backed stablecoin briefly depegged following allegations of insolvency by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun.
What Happened: First Digital confirmed that it has processed the initial redemptions following the FUD. It also assured that FDUSD is fully backed 1:1 and that their redemption channels are functioning smoothly.

The controversy erupted when Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) founder Justin Sun raised concerns about the company&#8217;s solvency and its ability to honor client redemptions.
&#8220;I strongly recommend that users take immediate action to secure their assets. There are significant loopholes in both the trust licensing process in Hong Kong and the internal risk management of its financial system,&#8221; Sun said.

Following the allegations, FDUSD, currently the fifth-largest stablecoin by market capitalization, fell to $0.87, 13% below the $1 value it is supposed to trade at all times. It regained some of its value as of this writing.
Why It Matters:&nbsp; Launched in 2023, FDUSD is a 1:1 dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Hong Kong-based First Digital Labs, a subsidiary of the First Digital Group.
To ensure their value remains consistent, stablecoins are backed by reserves of the corresponding fiat currency, in this case, the dollar, held in regulated financial institutions. The 1:1 backing means customers can theoretically redeem one unit of the stablecoin for one unit of the underlying fiat currency at any time. 
Stablecoin depeggings have been rare. USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) lost its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-stablecoins-safe-right-now">dollar peg</a> for a few days in March 2023 after billions in its reserves were stuck with the collapsed Silicon Valley bank.
Price Action: At the time of writing, FDUSD traded at $0.9953, down 0.28% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

FDUSD Issuer Assures Funds Are Backed 1:1, To Pursue Legal Action After Justin Sun's Allegations Send Stablecoin Below $1

Former Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence H. Summers, also known as Larry Summers, described the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump as the &#8220;most expensive and masochistic&#8221; move by the U.S., which could roil the economy, erasing trillions of dollars.
What Happened: Summers explained the calculation behind the magnitude of losses that the economy can endure in a series of X posts. According to him, the stock futures fell 2-3% after Trump's announcement, erasing about $1.5 trillion, and the market had already priced in some of the impact in the days leading up to April 2nd.
Thus, he estimated losses of about $4 trillion in the stock market, which represents the lost corporate profits. Additionally, Summers explains that &#8220;Corporate profits are about 10 percent of GDP, so very conservatively the present value of economic loss is 5 times the stock market loss or $20 trillion.&#8221;

Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, said, "Trump's tariffs will result in a massive transfer of wealth from working people into the hands of millionaires and billionaires."

Trump Tariffs Could Cost $30 Trillion Or About $300,000 Per Family, Says Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers: 'Most Expensive And Masochistic'

Larry Fink, CEO of&nbsp;BlackRock Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), has proposed a novel investment strategy that could potentially reshape the traditional 60/40 portfolio.
What Happened: In BlackRock&#8217;s annual letter released earlier this week, Fink has put forth a new investment approach that could change the conventional 60/40 portfolio of stocks and bonds. The CEO of BlackRock envisions the future standard portfolio as 50% stocks, 30% bonds, and 20% private assets such as real estate, infrastructure, and private credit.
&#8220;Generations of investors have done well following this approach, owning a mix of the entire market rather than individual securities. But as the global financial system continues to evolve, the classic 60/40 portfolio may no longer fully represent true diversification,&#8221; explained Fink.
Fink contends that the appeal of investing in private markets is not about owning a particular bridge, tunnel, or mid-sized company. Instead, it&#8217;s about how these assets can diversify your portfolio. Although&nbsp;these private assets could carry&nbsp;larger risks, they also offer significant benefits such as inflation protection, stability, and returns.

Why It Matters: However, Fink also recognizes the challenges associated with this new approach. The industry isn't designed for a 50/30/20 framework. Traditional asset managers primarily concentrate on the 50/30 split (stocks and bonds), while specialized private market firms dominate the 20% allocated to private assets.
He also highlights that for most individuals, closing the gap between the 50/30 and the 20 is nearly impossible. Even those who can afford to do so encounter another diversification challenge within that 20%.
Moreover, investing in private assets could have additional challenges. Teresa Ghilarducci, a labor economist and retirement security expert, told Yahoo Finance that private equity involves &#8220;hefty fees," warning that after factoring in those fees and the additional risk, a 60/40 ratio could be a winner. Meanwhile, Ryan Haiss, A CFP at Flynn Zito Capital Management, told the publication, "Unlike stocks and bonds, these assets can't be easily sold if cash is needed, making them less suitable for those with shorter time horizons.&#8221;
Given the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44568282/blackrock-ceo-larry-finks-2025-investor-letter-how-the-company-will-navigate-ai-inflation-global-markets">strategic direction</a>, Fink&#8217;s proposed 50/30/20 portfolio could be seen as a part of BlackRock&#8217;s broader plan to navigate the economic landscape, especially in light of AI, inflation, and global markets.

Top U.S. technology multinationals, which have been the biggest beneficiaries of globalization, come to the fore as tariffs could heavily impact the cost of the goods sold by these firms.
What Happened: The data shared by Gina Martin Adams, the chief equity strategist and global director of equity strategy at Bloomberg Intelligence, shows the top tech companies in the U.S. that are likely to be impacted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">tariffs announced</a> by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
These firms &#8220;may suffer the most as tariffs spark trade turmoil and threaten the long-expanding margin domination of American companies,&#8221; explains Adams.
The graphic shared by her shows that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/44620411/mark-zuckerberg-led-meta-set-to-face-truth-at-senate-hearing-over-china-operations-and-communist-party-censorship-efforts">Mark Zuckerberg</a>&#8216;s Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) spends less than 10% of the total amount required for them to produce their products and services in the U.S., making it the most vulnerable to tariffs.
The top 10 firms also include Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>).
Adams says that these firms could face more challenges in the wake of retaliation by other countries, further influencing the global supply chain. &#8220;White House tariffs may only be the start, as retaliations further strain global supply chains,&#8221; she adds.

Why It Matters: According to Adams, &#8220;Contrary to popular belief, mega-cap U.S. tech may be at considerable risk, with extremely high valuations and assumptions that margin moats will remain intact.
Companies with high facilities exposure and elevated cost of goods sold outside the U.S. face the greatest direct threats in the short run, while those with elevated revenue exposure are not immune.&#8221;
However, she adds, &#8220;Non-domestic stocks and defensive U.S. sectors may provide some haven as U.S. companies adjust to the new regime.&#8221;
Wedbush&#8217;s Daniel Ives adds that &#8220;Negotiations the only option at this point for White House.&#8221;

Meta, AMD, Apple, AT&T Among Biggest US Tech Giants That 'May Suffer The Most' As Tariffs Spark Trade Turmoil: Here's Why

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 200 points during the session ahead of the announcement of trade tariffs by President Donald Trump.
Trump later unveiled broad new tariffs on key trading partners, sparking fears of a global trade war that could further weaken the U.S. economy.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rallied over 5% on Wednesday despite reporting the worst quarterly deliveries in over two years and missing analyst estimates.
On the economic data front, private businesses in the U.S. added 155,000 jobs in March compared to a revised 84,000 gain in February and higher than market estimates of 105,000. New orders for U.S. manufactured goods rose by 0.6% month-over-month for February compared to a revised 1.8% gain in January.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with consumer discretionary, industrials, and financials stocks recording the biggest gains on Wednesday. However, consumer staples and consumer discretionary stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 235 points to 42,225.32 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.67% to 5,670.97, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.87% to 17,601.05 during Wednesday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Acuity Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYI#NYSE">AYI</a>), Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAG#NYSE">CAG</a>), and Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) today.
At a current reading of 17.1, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 15.6.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Dow Jumps Over 200 Points As Tesla Surges Over 5%: Investor Sentiment Improves, But Greed Index Remains In 'Extreme Fear' Zone

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a subsidiary of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>), has entered into a multi-year partnership with tech giant Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) to transform fan engagement using Meta&#8217;s advanced technology.
What Happened: The UFC announced that Mark Zuckerberg&#8216;s Meta is now the UFC&#8217;s first Official Fan Technology Partner. The partnership will utilize Meta&#8217;s technology platforms, services, and products, such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, Meta AI, Meta Glasses, and Meta Quest, to deliver an unparalleled immersive UFC experience for fans.
Meta will also serve as the Official AI Glasses Partner of UFC, bringing the innovative application of its AI glasses to UFC events. &#8220;Mark and his team at&nbsp;Meta are going to do&nbsp;things that will blow away&nbsp;UFC fans,&#8221;&nbsp;said UFC President and CEO&nbsp;Dana White.
The partnership will incorporate Meta into UFC assets through extensive activations across all Pay-Per-Views and Fight Nights, featuring brand placement in the Octagon&#xAE;, multiple broadcast integrations, and engaging in-arena fan experiences. 
Threads, Meta&#8217;s text-based platform for public discussions, will be an Official Social Media Partner of the UFC, acting as the main hub for the UFC community and offering exclusive original content.

Why It Matters: This partnership marks a significant step for Meta in its quest to expand beyond being a social media powerhouse. The partnership with UFC, which has a global fan base exceeding 700 million and over 300 million social media followers, could greatly accelerate Meta&#8217;s expansion into wearable technology, especially in virtual and augmented reality.
Meta&#8217;s Ray-Ban smart glasses, launched in late 2023, have sold over 2 million units. While not a major revenue source yet, they are strategically important for Meta's AI ambitions. Powered by the Llama AI model, the glasses and Meta AI chatbot aim to enhance user engagement and improve ad targeting.
CNBC&#8217;s Paulina Likos stated, &#8220;Big picture Zuckerberg has a long-term vision that smart glasses could be the next computing platform, much like the smartphone ushered in the mobile computing era.&#8221;
Interestingly, this development comes on the heels of the news that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44602810/metas-ai-chief-announces-departure-while-mark-zuckerberg-doubles-down-on-ai-investments">Meta&#8217;s AI Chief</a>, Joelle Pineau, is exiting the company in May. 
Meta holds a momentum rating of 80.75% and a growth rating of 74.80%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

Acuity, RH And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

As President Donald Trump lights the global economy on fire in his bid to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">reduce America&#8217;s $1.2 trillion annual trade deficit</a>, a few astute observers on X have uncovered the math that went into arriving at the tariffs that other countries charge the United States, which ultimately led to the reciprocal tariffs that the US will now be imposing on them.
What Happened: A post questioned Trump&#8217;s credibility on the subject of tariffs. James Surowiecki, a writer for The Atlantic and Fast Company had a tough time making sense of some of the figures shared by the White House on Wednesday evening, especially those about tariffs imposed by other countries on American exports.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Even given that it&#39;s Trump, I cannot believe they said &quot;We&#39;ll just divide the trade deficit by imports and tell people that&#39;s the tariff rate.&quot; And then they decided to set our tariffs by just cutting that totally made-up rate in half! This is so dumb and deceptive.
&mdash; James Surowiecki (@JamesSurowiecki) <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesSurowiecki/status/1907560211365167246?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 2, 2025</a></blockquote>

He knew something wasn&#8217;t adding up, since South Korea, a country with which the US has a trade agreement was not charging 50% tariffs on US exports, as reported in the graphic released by the White House. After initially chalking it all up to made-up figures, he soon arrived at the absurd calculations that went into them.

Surowiecki says that the tariff figures were calculated by merely dividing the US&#8217; trade deficit with a particular country by the said country&#8217;s total exports to the U.S. He even went on to illustrate it by giving the example of Indonesia, on which Trump now plans to impose 32% reciprocal tariffs.
He further adds &#8216;I cannot believe they decided to just divide the trade deficit by imports and tell people that&#8217;s the tariff rate,&#8217; and wonders how U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signed off on something like this. 
Why It Matters: Others are now waking up to these calculations, such as the <a href="https://x.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1907568233239949431">popular X finance influencer</a> Geiger Capital, and the Sri Lankan publication Economynext, which <a href="https://economynext.com/sri-lankas-88-pct-tax-on-us-arrived-at-by-dividing-trade-deficit-213077/">questioned</a> how the U.S. figures were calculated.

Neither the White House nor the United States Trade Representative responded to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comments on this story at the time of writing.
The tariff announcements led to the U.S. futures tanking at the time of writing. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were seen 2.5% lower at 41,433 while the Nasdaq dropped 3.45% at 19,076.75.

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Lamb Weston Price Expectations Ahead Of Q3 Earnings

Legendary stock picker Warren Buffett has refused to include cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), in his firm Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) portfolio, but the holding company, interestingly, has exposure to a firm that pitches the apex cryptocurrency as an inflation hedge.
What happened: According to the latest 13F filing, Berkshire Hathaway holds 433,558 shares of financial services company Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>), worth nearly $34 million.
The New York City-headquartered firm operates in investment banking and capital markets, and asset management businesses.
Notably, Jefferies holds a sizeable stake in iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), the world's largest spot exchange-traded Bitcoin fund. Filings with the SEC revealed that Jefferies owned 1,615,731 shares of IBIT, valued at over $85 million.

The investment likely stemmed from its bullish long-term view about the leading digital asset.
Jefferies deemed Bitcoin as a "critical hedge" against fiat debasement and inflation, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/05/bitcoin-is-a-critical-hedge-against-currency-debasement-and-return-of-inflation-jefferies-says.html">according </a>to an October 2023 report by CNBC.
The investment bank said Bitcoin's insurance policy narrative gained traction following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32705921/us-banking-crisis-spurs-756-billion-capital-surge-into-cash-funds-says-bank-of-america">U.S. banking crisis</a> earlier in the year, and it recommended a 10% allocation to the asset for U.S. dollar-based long-term global investors.
This optimism sharply contrasted with Buffett&#8217;s dismissive attitude toward Bitcoin. The &#8220;Oracle of Omaha&#8221; called Bitcoin &#8220;probably rat poison squared&#8221; during Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s annual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37513063/warren-buffett-says-he-wouldnt-pay-25-for-all-the-bitcoin-in-the-world-he-considers-crypto-rat-poiso" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shareholder</a>&nbsp;meeting in 2018 and predicted a &#8220;bad ending&#8221; for the cryptocurrency.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $83,315.66, down 1.03% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Year-to-date, the asset has slid 11.84%.
Shares of Berkshire Hathaway fell 2.09% in after-hours trading, after closing 0.89% higher at 537.72 during Wednesday&#8217;s regular session. Jefferies stock closed 2.99% higher at $55.14.

Warren Buffett Avoids Bitcoin, But Do You Know Berkshire Hathaway Owns Stake In A Company That Pitches BTC As 'Critical' Inflation Hedge

Vinod Khosla, an early investor in OpenAI and the founder of Khosla Ventures, shared his views on what startup founders should expect from investors, criticizing the &#8220;founder-friendly&#8221; culture in the Silicon Valley.
What Happened: In a conversation on the Minus One podcast posted on Wednesday, Khosla said that while the term &#8220;founder-friendly&#8221; is often used in venture capital circles, it doesn't truly benefit entrepreneurs in the long run.
"I hate the culture — there&#8217;s a number of firms in the valley who push the idea we are founder friendly," he stated in response to a question about what founders should look for in investors. "What [it] really means, they're never going to challenge you. They want to be popular with you as opposed to help you."

Khosla, who has been investing in startups for over 40 years, described his role as a &#8220;venture assistant,&#8221; not a traditional venture capitalist. He argued that successful investors don't just write checks but provide invaluable guidance, especially when a startup is incomplete in certain aspects.&nbsp;
"Great founders, the majority of the time, are incomplete in some dimension," he stated, adding, "Your job as an investor is to help them with that."
He also touched on the importance of &#8220;brutally honest&#8221; feedback, saying that 95% of the feedback founders get from investors is often &#8220;hypocritical politeness&#8221; that feels good but doesn't help their growth.&nbsp;
Founders should strive for a real, well-intended critique of their strategy, something that challenges them to think, he said.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: As the founder of Khosla Ventures, Khosla has been instrumental in backing experimental technologies such as biomedicine, robotics, and AI. Notably, he was one of the early investors in OpenAI and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36056265/openai-investor-vinod-khosla-works-80-hours-a-week-will-use-peter-thiels-anti-aging-methods-if-they">invested $50 million</a> in the parent company of ChatGPT.
Khosla is also known <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36056265/openai-investor-vinod-khosla-works-80-hours-a-week-will-use-peter-thiels-anti-aging-methods-if-they">for his involvement</a> in Sun Microsystems, which he co-founded in 1982. The company was later acquired by Oracle. Khosla's work at Kleiner Perkins, before founding his own venture fund, further cemented his reputation as a visionary investor in technology.
With a reported net worth of $7.7 billion, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/vinod-khosla/">according</a> to Forbes, Khosla has built a career based on taking calculated risks in areas that other investors often overlook. His firm, Khosla Ventures, has backed major successes like Affirm and DoorDash.

Vinod Khosla Was An Early Investor In OpenAI But He's No Fan Of Founder-Friendly Venture Capitalism: 'I Hate The Culture'

President Donald Trump has reportedly imposed reciprocal tariffs on some of the world&#8217;s most remote and uninhabited locations, along with various global trade partners, on &#8216;Liberation Day.&#8217;
What Happened: The Trump administration declared a 10% reciprocal tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands, an uninhabited Australian external territory situated approximately 1,000 miles north of Antarctica, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/04/02/trump-imposes-tariffs-on-uninhabited-heard-and-mcdonald-islands-remotest-places-on-earth/">reported</a> Forbes.  The Australian government website describes these islands as &#8220;one of the wildest and remotest places on Earth&#8221;.
These tariffs also apply to other regions, including the British Indian Ocean Territory, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, which have fewer than 600 residents, Norfolk Island, and the Norwegian Arctic islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen, which have no permanent population.
The impact of these tariffs&nbsp;on the Heard and McDonald&nbsp;Islands remains uncertain due to their minimal economic activity, which is limited to some Australian commercial fishing in their economic zone.

Why It Matters: The imposition of tariffs on such remote and uninhabited locations raises questions about the rationale behind these decisions. For instance, Norfolk Island exported goods worth $655,000 to the U.S. in 2023, the main export being leather footwear worth $413,000, <a href="https://oec.world/en/profile/country/nfk">according </a>to Observatory of Economic Complexity data. However, the administrator of Norfolk Island, George Plant, refuted these figures and told The Guardian that there are no known exports from Norfolk Island to the U.S.
Similarly, the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, which are Australia&#8217;s &#8216;external territories&#8217;, reportedly exported products worth $1.4 million to the U.S. in 2022, primarily &#8220;machinery and electrical&#8221; imports, according to World Bank data. The nature of these goods remains unclear. In the previous five years, imports from these islands ranged from $15,000 to $325,000 per year.
The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, told the publication, "Nowhere on earth is safe."<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/02/trump-new-tariffs-liberation-day"></a>
China has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44620889/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-roil-markets-as-china-slams-typical-unilateral-bullying-asian-markets-plunge">most affected</a> by Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Liberation Day&#8217; tariffs, with a 34% tax on top of the existing 20% tariffs on Chinese imports. Meanwhile,&nbsp;Canada and Mexico have been&nbsp;exempted from the baseline 10% tariff rate as the U.S. considers imposing&nbsp;a 25% tariff on the majority of imports from these countries.

最近の市場の混乱にもかかわらず、ジム・クレーマー氏は現在の企業収益が景気後退を示していないとの見方を示し、投資家たちに安心感を提供している。
出来事：CNBCのホストを務めるクレーマー氏は、企業の収益の報告に関する自身の分析を共有し、それが深刻な景気後退の兆候を示していないと説明している。彼は、個々の企業のレポートによるマイクロデータが、まもなく起こるだろう景気後退という概念を裏付けていないと強調し、<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/06/cramer-says-tuesdays-earnings-dont-indicate-a-serious-recession.html">CNBCが火曜に報じたところによると</a>。
クレーマー氏によれば、「私たちが現在抱えている景気後退では、景気後退は起こっていないという考えに基づいている。というのも、私がフォローしているのは、実際にレポートを提出した個々の企業から出ているマイクロデータだからです。この24時間以内にレポートを提出した企業のリストを見てみると、景気後退に向かって真剣な状況にあるという主張をするのは難しいことがわかります」とクレーマー氏は述べた。
彼は、Caterpillar Inc.（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>）やBuilders FirstSource, Inc.（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLDR#NYSE">BLDR</a>）などの企業の強い業績を強調し、それらが予想を上回っていると語った。 クレーマー氏は、Uber Technologies Inc （NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>）、Molson Coors Beverage Co（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>）、Planet Fitness Inc（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNT#NYSE">PLNT</a>）、Yum！ Brands, Inc。（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>）などの消費者向けの奨励的な結果にも言及している。
「今朝は、素晴らしい四半期が続きました。時間がたつにつれて、素晴らしい四半期が続いています。そのことに気づかなかった人たちが中央銀行だけを信じるようなことをするかもしれませんが、それは本当に見込みがありません」とクレーマー氏は述べた。
関連記事：ファーウェイ、大規模な収益源確保に向けた米国一般企業からの収益
なぜ重要か： Cramer氏のコメントは、経済の不確実性と市場の変動の時期に発表されたものである。景気後退の恐れがあるにも関わらず、いくつかの専門家は逆の見解を表明している。
たとえば、Sahm Ruleを開発した経済学者Claudia Sahm氏は米国経済が景気後退しているとは<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40177780/i-do-not-think-the-us-economy-is-in-recession-sahm-rule-creator-refutes-claims-amid-market-turmoil">考えていないと述べている</a>。
同様に、ウォールストリートのベテラン投資家であるEd Yardeni氏も、景気後退の恐れに<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40170709/veteran-wall-street-analyst-counters-recession-fears-we-dont-expect-a-hard-landing-">異を唱え、景気後退を予想していないと主張している</a>。
この議論が続くなかで、市場は大きな変動を示している。連邦準備制度（FRB）が緊急金利を引き下げる可能性も<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/08/40203305/should-fed-make-an-emergency-cut-before-september-meeting-no-not-even-close-analy">最近の金利市場のショック波の後に</a>憶測されたこともある。 しかし、火曜までに、2024年にFRBが緊急金利を引き下げるとされる暗黙の確率は14％に急落した。
