President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on the U.S.&#8217;s three largest trading partners — Canada, China, and Mexico — over the weekend. Economists have warned about potential negative impacts on American businesses and consumers. However, this economist argues that these tariffs could serve as a tool for transitioning the U.S. economy.
What Happened: Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, outlined a bold hypothesis about the role of tariffs in reshaping America's economic future in a recent X post.
His argument centers around the concept of transitioning the U.S. from a high-time preference society, which according to him is focused on short-term gains and immediate profit maximization—to a more sustainable, low-time preference model.
A high-time preference is when someone is more likely to choose immediate gratification over future benefits. This shift, according to Shapiro, is crucial for the health and long-term prosperity of the United States and to bring back manufacturing in the country. 
According to him, tariffs are &#8220;a way to reduce wealth inequality from Wall Street to Main Street which is necessary to have a functioning society in the future.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Hypothesis: Tariffs are a tool to transition America back from its high time preference societal disaster to a more sustainable low time preference future.

&mdash; Craig Shapiro (@ces921) <a href="https://twitter.com/ces921/status/1886037535283143162?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 2, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Shapiro argues that the current state of the U.S. economy and financial markets is unsustainable, driven by an obsession with short-term results. This focus, he suggests, has been exacerbated by the government&#8217;s continuous money printing and ballooning deficits, leading to an imbalance in the economy. 
He warns that unless a major shift occurs, the country could face a &#8220;violent fourth turning,&#8221; a crisis that could permanently alter the fabric of American society.

Why It Matters: According to Shapiro, the key to averting such a crisis lies in the use of tariffs, particularly as a tool to address structural economic issues. He contends that the Trump administration by levying tariffs, in its second term can bring manufacturing jobs back to the country, reestablish a more balanced economy, and gradually address the wealth disparity that has come to define modern American society.
"They (tariffs) will begin to turn back the wealth inequality dial in favor of the 99% over the 1% and bring structural change that will eventually lead us to a better place."
He also acknowledged that the process will be difficult and may disrupt markets in the short term, he believes it is vital for rebalancing the economy. He argues that asset prices, particularly in the stock market, need to fall to reduce inflation and address the unequal distribution of wealth. In doing so, the economic benefits would be spread more evenly across society, allowing for a healthier, more equitable system.
"The folks around Trump this time around—Bessent, Miran, Lutnick, Rubio, and others—seem to understand that this time has to be different," Shapiro adds, referring to the president's advisers and supporters in the second term. &#8220;And so it will be.&#8221;
Tariff Details: The newly introduced tariffs on a third of U.S. imports, plus a 10% levy on Chinese goods, begin Tuesday, potentially driving up prices from agriculture to automobiles. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has warned of supply chain disruptions and higher family costs, citing concerns over trade with Mexico worth $46 billion in agricultural products, and Canada valued at $97 billion in energy supplied.
Price Action: The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed 0.53% lower at $601.82 on Friday, whereas Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) tracking Nasdaq 100 declined 0.15% to $522.29.

Tesla Rival Xpeng Outpaces Li Auto, Nio In January Despite Sales Dip From December

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) shares dropped over 4% overnight on the <a href="https://robinhood.com/us/en/stocks/PLTR/">Robinhood</a> platform, ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings report on Monday. This decline came after a sharp drop in index futures, triggered by President Donald Trump&#8216;s decision to impose <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">tariffs</a> on Canada, China, and Mexico over the weekend.
What Happened: After hitting a record high of $85.22 intraday, Palantir stock settled at $82.49, up 1.56% on Friday. It rose further by 0.09% in after-hours. On Robinhood, the stock was trading 4.16% lower during the publication of this article.
A leader in AI-powered data analytics, Palantir provides critical tools to government clients for intelligence, counterterrorism, and military applications.
However, despite the Chinese AI startup, DeepSeek-led frenzy in the U.S. market last week, the shares of PLTR gained 11.68% in the last five trading sessions. It was also the top performer on the S&amp;P 500 index in 2024.
Technical analysis of its daily moving averages shows a strong bullish trend for the stock with potential overbought conditions.
PLTR shares closed Friday at $82.49, significantly above its eight-day simple moving average of $79.25, and 20-day average at $74.18.

The relative strength index of 63.91, even though in the neutral zone, suggests the possibility of price correction in the near future.

New tariffs, effective Tuesday, will impact roughly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43425796/el-erian-warns-of-consequential-uncertainties-in-trumps-new-tariff-impact">a third of U.S. imports</a>, potentially raising prices across sectors from agriculture to automobiles.

Palantir Technologies Plunges Overnight On Robinhood: Trump Tariff Impact Or Investor Jitters?

The cryptocurrency market saw multiple headwinds last week, resulting in a large decline in market value. However, a few coins overcame the slump to post significant gains.
What happened: HYPE, the native token of the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, topped the biggest gainers list, rallying 7.5% over the week. The coin accumulated massive gains of 586% over the last year
Hyperliquid is a decentralized trading platform that utilizes its own Layer-1 blockchain.
Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based DEXE token was the second-highest gainer, marginally trailing HYPE in weekly returns. Like HYPE, DEXE was coming off a successful 2024, with a 625% increase over the year.
DeXe is the governance token of the DeXe Protocol—a tool used for creating and governing decentralized autonomous organizations.&nbsp;
Similarly, OM, the token associated with the layer-1 blockchain MANTRA, rallied over 6% to become the third-most cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency hit a record high of $5.87 last week and is one of the few to record sizable year-to-date gains, at nearly 29%.

Former White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Jason Furman has pointed out potential discrepancies in Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s recent claims regarding federal spending reductions and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43391017/2-trillion-by-2026-elon-musks-ambitious-push-to-reinvent-government-spending-with-silicon-valley-powerhouses">proposed fiscal targets</a>.
What Happened: In a response on X to Musk&#8217;s statement about reaching &#8220;$4B/day FY2026 reduction,&#8221; Furman calculated that such cuts would amount to approximately $1.5 trillion annually. This would represent a 30% reduction in government spending, excluding interest and Social Security benefits from the expected $4.8 trillion federal expenditure.
The exchange comes amid Musk&#8217;s broader initiative through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to cut $2 trillion from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43391017/2-trillion-by-2026-elon-musks-ambitious-push-to-reinvent-government-spending-with-silicon-valley-powerhouses">federal budget by 2026</a>. The project has assembled notable Silicon Valley figures, including venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick.
During an X broadcast interview with political strategist Mark Penn, Musk acknowledged the ambitious nature of the target, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;ll aim for $2 trillion&#8230; If we target $2 trillion, I think there&#8217;s a strong chance we can achieve $1 trillion in spending cuts.&#8221;

The Federal government was expected to spend $4.8T (excluding interest &amp; Social Security benefits). So Musk is claiming a 30% cut in govt spending.

Why It Matters: The initiative faces significant challenges, according to experts. Richard J. Pierce, a Professor of Law at George Washington University, cautioned in the NYU Journal of Legislation and Public Policy that federal budget cuts could have far-reaching consequences. &#8220;Government spending is tied to laws, policies and public programs that people depend on,&#8221; Pierce noted.
While Social Security and Medicare are reportedly protected from cuts, questions remain about where the reductions would come from. The initiative has set July 4, 2026 – America&#8217;s 250th independence anniversary – as its target date for achieving these ambitious fiscal goals.
The project&#8217;s success could have significant implications for market investors, particularly in sectors heavily dependent on federal spending, such as healthcare, which comprised 17.6% of GDP in 2023 according to the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services, and defense contracting.

Elon Musk's Daily $4 Billion DOGE Target Will Lead To 30% Cut In Federal Spending, Says Economist Jason Furman

OpenAI is contemplating a shift in its open-source strategy as it faces <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43354099/openai-alleges-deepseek-used-proprietary-models-without-permission-as-microsoft-investigates-ai-secu">mounting competition from</a> Chinese companies like DeepSeek.
What Happened: On Friday, during a Reddit AMA, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that DeepSeek has narrowed OpenAI&#8217;s lead in AI.
"I personally think we have been on the wrong side of history here and need to figure out a different open source strategy," he stated, adding, "Not everyone at OpenAI shares this view, and it's also not our current highest priority."

&#8220;We will produce better models [going forward], but we will maintain less of a lead than we did in previous years.&#8221;
Kevin Weil, OpenAI&#8217;s chief product officer, mentioned the possibility of open-sourcing older models that are no longer cutting-edge.
OpenAI is also exploring ways to reveal more about its models&#8217; reasoning processes, a move influenced by DeepSeek&#8217;s transparent approach.

Why It Matters: The shift in OpenAI&#8217;s strategy comes amid a broader debate over open-source versus closed-source AI models.
Elon Musk and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has criticized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39925842/elon-musk-agrees-with-arch-rival-mark-zuckerberg-after-meta-ceo-slams-closed-providers-like-openai-f">closed model providers like OpenAI</a> for lobbying against open source AI.
This debate intensified when Meta supported Musk&#8217;s stance against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495758/elon-musk-finds-an-unlikely-ally-in-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-in-his-fight-against-sam-altmans-openai">OpenAI&#8217;s for-profit transition</a>.
Despite the competition from DeepSeek, OpenAI&#8217;s valuation remains strong. Earlier this month, it was reported that SoftBank Group was reportedly in talks to lead a $40 billion funding round for OpenAI, valuing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">company at $300 billion</a>.
