Anthropic co-founder Ben Mann says true "transformative AI" will arrive only after systems ace what he calls the "economic Turing test."
What Happened: Mann, in a recent appearance on the &#8216;No Priors&#8217; podcast, defined the &#8220;economic Turing test&#8221; as a workplace trial that forces hiring managers to choose between a month-long contractor and an AI agent for the same job.
Passing the test would mark "when things start to get really interesting from a societal and cultural standpoint," Mann noted.
Mann's yardstick swaps laboratory benchmarks for a market basket covering "50% of economically valuable tasks." Each human supervisor would "hire an agent" to perform the work. If, at the end of the month, the manager prefers the machine, "then it passed," he said.

Mann does warn that the exercise has its limitations. "Interviews are only a poor approximation of real-world job performance," he observed, dismissing current testing measures as limited and too theoretical.

Anthropic has already run its Claude models through internal interviews and found them "extremely good," though Mann conceded that the formal trial "hasn't started" and might not come until after the firm's next release cycle. He pegged 2028 as a "quite possible" window for artificial general intelligence but cautioned that precise timelines remain guesswork.
Why It Matters: Mann&#8217;s coinage of the phrase &#8220;economic Turing test&#8221; builds on the Turing Test, which is a simple method of inquiry in artificial intelligence for determining whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human being.
OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT 4 became the first AI LLM to pass a two-player Turing test, fooling human conversation partners 54% of the time back in July 2024. GPT-4.5 achieved a 73% success rate in a more formal test in March earlier this year. However, critics have posed several reasons over the years challenging the accuracy of the test in determining the true intelligence of machines.
A new Wharton study also found that large language models now create <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44369538/ai-just-passed-the-meme-turing-test-study-finds-llms-now-create-funnier-memes-than-most-humans">memes humans rate as funnier</a> than the average person's, effectively passing the "meme Turing Test."

$100 Invested In Amazon.com 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

President Donald Trump is set to host <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45894541/trump-sports-president-military-birthday-parade">a large military parade </a>in Washington D.C. on Saturday, June 14, an event that coincides with his birthday. It turns out big technology companies could be helping to fund the event alongside taxpayers.
What Happened: Trump's parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on Saturday comes one year before a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45512795/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-donates-15-million-lends-rare-us-constitution-and-bill-of-rights-ahead-of-americas-250th-anniversary">planned semiquincentennial celebration</a> to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Both events are bringing in a large number of big, well-known companies to make donations to support the efforts, similar to the companies that donated to Trump's inauguration ceremony.
A <a href="https://www.theverge.com/policy/685690/big-tech-trump-military-parade-america250">report </a>from The Verge citing statements from organization planner America250 names Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Scott's Miracle-Gro Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMG#NYSE">SMG</a>), FedEx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) as companies that are sponsoring the America250 Foundation.
This congressionally appointed nonprofit is in charge of raising funds for the 250th anniversary next year and also logistics for the parade and festival this weekend.
"Many of these sponsors will support the upcoming grand military parade being held in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, June 14th, to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th birthday," press <a href="https://america250.org/news/america250-announces-new-sponsors-championing-historic-celebrations-and-events-as-momentum-builds-for-the-countrys-250th-anniversary/">releases </a>from America250 read.
According to The Verge, Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) was previously named a sponsor by America250 before its logo was removed from the sponsorship page. Meta offered a response to The Verge.
"While we are not currently a sponsor, we have had a historical relationship with America250, and we are actively exploring potential partnership opportunities with them in the future," a Meta spokesperson told The Verge.
Many of the companies chose not to respond to comment to The Verge in the report, but Lockheed Martin confirmed its sponsorship of America250.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The U.S. Army estimates that the cost of the parade this weekend will be between $25 million and $45 million. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll defended the costs to Congress as "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fill up our recruiting pipeline."
The parade is seen as a precursor to next year's celebration and will mainly celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Army. The parade also takes place on Trump's birthday, which has led many to believe that it will be a celebration of the current president.
Donations to America250 for next year's event are likely being used to help fund this weekend's parade based on the wording in press releases. The question is whether companies that are donating for next year's event are aware that their money is being used for both.
The report of donations from large companies follows a similar path to the large technology and cryptocurrency companies that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42898021/google-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-plans-youtube-livestream-pleased-to-support">helped fund </a>Trump's inauguration. Some of the donations were made by companies that may have been looking to get favors or win political favor with Trump.
Companies helping fund the military parade and birthday celebration could be doing the same.

Big Tech Companies Helped Fund Trump's Inauguration, Now They Could Be Funding His Military, Birthday Parade

U.S. stocks retreated Friday as geopolitical tensions erupted following Israel's surprise airstrike on Iranian nuclear sites, sparking a sharp rally<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/guidance/25/06/45928561/gold-biggest-boom-in-decades-and-investors-are-still-missing-out"> in oil and gold.</a>
Crude futures surged to $77 a barrel overnight before easing to $72.24 by midday—still up 5% on the session—as fears grew over potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global oil flows.
Equity volatility spiked, with the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) – also known as the market &#8220;fear index&#8221; – rocketed 10% by midday, yet trimming an even bigger jump at the open. 
Gold climbed past $3,430 an ounce, rising over 1% and putting record highs near $3,500 into potential target. The U.S. dollar halted the bleeding as risk sentiment deteriorated globally.
President Donald Trump said he had given Iran a 60-day ultimatum "to make a deal," adding they may now have a "second chance." A scheduled U.S.-Iran meeting on Sunday is uncertain.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the strikes would continue until Iran's nuclear threat is removed, while Tehran vowed retaliation.
Meanwhile, U.S. consumer sentiment rebounded strongly in June to 60.5 from 52.2, beating expectations. One-year inflation expectations dropped to 5.1% from 6.6%.
Despite the risk-off mood, longer-dated Treasury yields rose by 8 basis points—an unusual move suggesting persistent concerns around U.S. fiscal risks. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) sunk 1.6%, its worst session in over three weeks. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slipped 0.6% to $105,000, suffering as risk sentiment fades.

Wall Street's VIX Jumps 10%, Gold And Oil Gain As Middle East Tensions Flare Up: What's Driving Markets Friday?

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New On The Block</h3>
Bankers say these biscuits are worth billions. The $1.5 billion asking price for Bojangles, the fried chicken and biscuit fast-food chain, is about triple what private equity firms Durational Capital Management and TJC paid in 2019—just four years after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/15/05/5492635/bojangles-prices-ipo-at-19-high-end-of-range">the chain went public</a>.
According <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/bojangles-is-exploring-a-sale-while-the-fried-chicken-market-is-hot-5cc6fb9e?mod=e2tw">to</a> the Wall Street Journal, both strategic restaurant operators and private equity buyers are interested.
The North Carolina–based fast-casual brand has been expanding thanks to U.S. chicken chain sales spiking 9% last year. 
The potential sale comes amid a broader M&amp;A wave in the restaurant industry. Recent deals include Roark Capital's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45829771/heres-how-daves-hot-chicken-went-from-humble-beginnings-to-a-billion-dollar-food-empire">acquisition of</a> Dave's Hot Chicken, Blackstone's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42167861/blackstone-takes-a-bite-out-of-jersey-mikes-with-8-billion-investment">stake in</a> Jersey Mike's, and Sycamore Partners' purchase of Playa Bowls.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h3>
Benzinga sat down with 28-year-old financial advisor Luke Lloyd, founder of the newly launched Lloyd Financial Group. Formerly a wealth advisor at Strategic Wealth Partners, where he helped manage $1.5 billion in client assets, Lloyd brings a sharp eye for macroeconomic trends, individual stock analysis, and deal-making dynamics. 
Now running his own RIA firm, he's focused on delivering personalized, strategic investment guidance with a deep understanding of today's fast-moving financial landscape, including hot takes on M&amp;A:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Benzinga: Where do you think the most consolidation is going to happen this year and next?</h3>
Lloyd: It&#8217;s going to be where all the money&#8217;s at. It&#8217;s going to be big tech. Take Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and add up all their cash accounts. If these tech giants are collecting 5% of their cash on interest, and interest rates drop at all, they will go out there and buy everything they can buy. I also think the most divesting will also happen in tech. These big corporations are too inefficient. They&#8217;re too big. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: What should they do?</h3>
Lloyd: The most efficient way is to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/18/02/11119830/6-analysts-react-to-the-paypal-ebay-split">do something like</a> eBay (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) and PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) did. There are all these ways you can break up your company and actually make more money and add more shareholder value. These guys can write $2 billion checks to these small, mid-cap companies and not even feel a single thing. They&#8217;re making more on their interest, on their cash accounts, than they are writing those checks. Divesting the big parts of tech will also happen, probably in the next couple of years. I&#8217;m not saying it will happen this year, but in the next couple of years — I talked about this on Fox Business, probably six months ago — Apple will get broken up to focus on growth areas, like AI. Apple is behind the eight-ball with AI compared to others. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: That&#8217;s something that Senator Bernie Sanders would like to <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/16/bernie-sanders-facebook-google-amazon-1416786">hear</a>.</h3>
Lloyd: I&#8217;m not saying the government&#8217;s going to do it. I&#8217;m saying I think it&#8217;s in the company&#8217;s best interest. Corporations themselves should want to break up in some ways because they make more money and become more efficient. If they can lean up certain sectors and areas, they can actually be able to deliver more shareholder value.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: We&#8217;re not hearing much of that conversation from big tech.</h3>
Lloyd: I&#8217;m not either. I just hope it happens to add more shareholder value. I think they&#8217;re too fat and fluffy, and I think that it&#8217;s definitely possible and something that could happen that I&#8217;m keeping an eye on.
Check back soon for our whole conversation with Lloyd; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/45822510/deal-dispatch-tv-stations-for-sale-this-buyer-wants-seconds-on-pasta">For last week&#8217;s edition of the Deal Dispatch, click here</a>.

Walmart, Amazon Eye Stablecoin Adoption In A Potential Shift From Traditional Currencies: Report

Larry Ellison, the co-founder and chairman of&nbsp;Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>), has surpassed&nbsp;Jeff Bezos&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;to become the second-richest person in the world.
What Happened: Ellison&#8217;s net worth soared by $26 billion to $243 billion on Thursday, marking the largest daily increase among any billionaire. This surge propelled Ellison past Amazon&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) chairman, Jeff Bezos, with a net worth of $227 billion, and Meta&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, with a net worth of $239 billion, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2025/06/12/larry-ellison-overtakes-jeff-bezos-mark-zuckerberg-as-worlds-second-richest-person/">Forbes</a>. He now stands second to Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk.
The significant increase in Ellison&#8217;s wealth came after Oracle&#8217;s stock hit a record of over $200 per share, following a robust earnings report on Wednesday. The report revealed stronger-than-expected profits and sales for the company&#8217;s financial quarter ending in May.
Deutsche Bank analyst Brad Zelnick called the earnings update a &#8220;watershed&#8221; moment for Oracle, highlighting the significance of Ellison&#8217;s vision in ushering in a new era of cloud computing, especially as Oracle plays a key role in the advancement of AI technology.
TD Cowen analyst Derrick Wood&nbsp;predicted that Oracle&#8217;s 2026 fiscal year, starting this month, would be a &#8220;major inflection point&#8221; for the company&#8217;s core cloud infrastructure service, driven by a surge in demand for AI training workloads.

Why It Matters: Oracle&#8217;s recent financial success can be attributed to its strategic positioning in the global AI race. As highlighted in its fourth quarter earnings results, Oracle&#8217;s Chairman, Larry Ellison, emphasized the company&#8217;s competitive strength in its deep integration inside enterprise data architecture. This has allowed Oracle to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/45909157/larry-ellison-says-most-of-the-worlds-valuable-data-is-in-oracle-as-ai-demand-skyrockets"> compete successfully</a> against other giants in this space.&nbsp;
Oracle&#8217;s stock gained after the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results and issued an upbeat outlook commentary. The company reported fourth-quarter revenue of $15.9 billion, up 11% compared to estimates of $15.58 billion, and adjusted earnings of $1.70 compared to estimates of $1.64.

This record cloud growth has fueled Oracle&#8217;s AI ambitions.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place Oracle in the 84th percentile for momentum and the 31st percentile for growth, reflecting mixed performance.

Larry Ellison Overtakes Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg To Become World's Second Richest Amid Oracle's 'Watershed' Moment

Coinbase Global Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CEO Brian Armstrong unveiled the company&#8217;s cryptocurrency credit card Thursday that will offer cashback rewards in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened:&nbsp;Armstrong took to X to showcase&nbsp;the new Coinbase One Card. The card, made of&nbsp;metal and engraved with Bitcoin&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42789566/happy-birthday-bitcoin-16-fun-facts-about-leading-cryptocurrency">Genesis block</a>, is&nbsp;powered by payments giant&nbsp;American Express Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>). The card offers users up to 4% in Bitcoin rewards for every purchase.
However, there are certain conditions. The card would be available only to those having its premium subscription service, Coinbase One, annual memberships of which start at $49.99/year.
Moreover, the size of rewards will be determined by the Coinbase balance, meaning the larger the balance, the more BTC one will get. The company also clarified that it reserves the right to decide which transactions are eligible for rewards.
The Coinbase One Card is set to launch in the fall of 2025.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Teases Crypto Credit Card Powered By American Express—Bitcoin Cashbacks Offered, But Here's The Catch

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>) might just be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">the tech world'</a>s biggest bargain &#8211; and not because its products are free. While the AI hype machine sends Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ), and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) stocks soaring into the valuation stratosphere, Google's parent quietly trades at a discount that looks harder to justify by the day.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Google Stock Trades At 35% Discount To Mag 7 Peers</h2>
As of June 12, Google stock trades near $177 with a forward P/E of just 19.2x, per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0612">Benzinga Pro</a> data &#8211; significantly below its Magnificent Seven peers. Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) (25x), Microsoft (31x), Amazon (33x), Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) (167x), and Nvidia (33x). Even Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) (27x), the other ad-tech giant, is pricier. Yet Alphabet's fundamentals don't just hold up &#8211; they shine.
Excluding Tesla's outlier valuation, Google trades at a 35.6% discount to the peer average of 29.8x, with individual discounts of 23% to Apple, 38% to Meta, and over 40% to Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Google Stock: A Cash Machine With AI Tailwinds</h2>
Google Cloud is growing like a weed, logging $12.26 billion in first-quarter revenue &#8211; a 28% year-over-year jump, with margins rising to 17.8%. Its core ad business? Still a cash machine, pulling in $66.89 billion last quarter, well ahead of expectations. YouTube Shorts is finally making money, and Waymo is quietly scaling into a real business, now clocking over 250,000 driverless rides a week.
Meanwhile, Alphabet is threading AI into every product it touches &#8211; from AI Overviews in Search to Gemini-powered tools across Workspace and YouTube. It even designs its own Tensor Processing Units, cutting down reliance on Nvidia and boosting margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analysts See 14% Upside From Current Levels</h2>
And the valuation? Recent analyst ratings from JPMorgan, Oppenheimer and WestPark Capital see the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/goog/analyst-ratings">stock&#8217;s fair value</a> at $201.67. That's about 14% upside, even before factoring in the $96 billion cash pile or the $70 billion buyback plan.
Yes, there are risks: the DOJ's antitrust ruling looms, and Apple may be inching toward search. But Alphabet&#8217;s sticky ecosystem &#8211; Chrome, Android, Gmail, YouTube &#8211; still dominates digital life.
In a market obsessed with AI, Alphabet's stock appears to offer value. For investors looking to ride the AI megatrend without paying AI-bubble prices, Google stock may just be the tech titan on sale.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

As Donald Trump approaches six months into his second presidential term, four foreign markets he vowed to penalize with heavy tariffs have not only withstood the threat, they've outpaced the S&amp;P 500 and America&#8217;s biggest tech giants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">by a wide margin.</a>
Since Jan. 20, 2025 — Trump's inauguration day — exchange-traded funds tracking Mexican, Canadian, eurozone and Chinese stocks have posted significant gains.
Such performance defied Wall Street&#8217;s overly pessimistic expectations at the start of the year, especially as these regions were seen as directly damaged by Trump's protectionist agenda. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Equities in Mexico, Canada, Europe and China Defy Trump's Tariff Threats</h1>
The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWW#NYSE">EWW</a>) surged 28%, the iShares Large-Cap China ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) rose 21%, the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#NYSE">EZU</a>) gained 20%, and the iShares MSCI Canada ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWC#NYSE">EWC</a>) is up 11%.
Ironically, these four economies — responsible for the bulk of last year's trillion-dollar U.S. trade deficit — were key targets in the new administration's push to rebalance trade.
In contrast, the S&amp;P 500, as tracked by the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), has remained flat. 
Meanwhile, a widely followed basket of tech giants struggled to keep pace. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>) — which tracks the performance of 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/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon.com 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>) — declined by 3.4% over the same period.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Markets Reversed Course After Trump&#8217;s Swearing-In</h1>
Leading up to Inauguration Day, the trajectory of global markets told a starkly different story. From Election Day on Nov. 5 through Jan. 20, investors moved defensively on regions perceived to be in Trump's crosshairs.
The Mexican ETF lost 6.5%, China's declined 5.8%, and eurozone and Canadian stocks treaded water. 
Meanwhile, the S&amp;P 500 rose 4.6%, and the tech-heavy Magnificent Seven soared 15%, buoyed by artificial intelligence euphoria. 
But the moment Trump reentered the Oval Office, the narrative shifted. Markets began reacting not just to political headlines but to tangible changes in fiscal and trade policy. 
The result: U.S. equities stalled, mega-cap tech lost momentum, and capital rotated toward the markets that had initially been expected to struggle under Trump&#8217;s second term.
One of the most striking reversals was Tesla.
Shares of the EV-maker had soared more than 70% between the election and inauguration, fueled by speculation that Elon Musk's collaboration with the Trump administration — via the Department of Government Efficiency — would have given his companies (also including SpaceX) inside access to major federal contracts.
But the alliance quickly soured, and Tesla's stock began a sharp downward spiral. 
Musk exited the DOGE in May and began openly clashing with Trump over fiscal priorities. Tesla shares have since plunged 25%, wiping out post-election gains. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How The Dollar Slump Helped Flip Global Markets</h1>
Part of the market reversal that has occurred since January 2025 can be attributed to a sharp weakening in the dollar.
On Jan. 14, just days ahead of Trump's inauguration, the U.S. dollar index was at 110 — its strongest level since late 2022.
Fast forward six months, and the same index has slumped by 11%, hitting its lowest level in over three years.
This dollar drop is no coincidence. It reflects a growing market rethink around the U.S. relative economic strength, or what analysts call &#8220;American exceptionalism.&#8221;
Tariff tensions, a first-quarter recession, Moody's downgrade of the U.S. credit outlook and concerns over Trump's unfunded spending have eroded trust in the dollar's safe-haven role.
In aggregate, these dynamics have eroded confidence in the dollar as a safe-haven store of value, especially compared to equities in countries seen as "Trump's rivals."
The relative underperformance of U.S. markets and the dollar is forcing investors to reconsider a long-held assumption: that the U.S. economy and its markets would always lead during global uncertainty.
Foreign markets, once seen as fragile in the face of U.S. pressure, have emerged as relative winners, while America&#8217;s internal fractures raise doubts about long-term macro stability.
For now, markets have made their judgment: the real trade shock isn't abroad, it's at home.

The lawsuit alleges Anthropic, which is backed by Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)), violated Reddit's user agreement and intentionally ignored robots.txt instructions, which is a standard signal to bots not to crawl a site,<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/04/reddit-sues-anthropic-for-allegedly-not-paying-for-training-data/"> TechCrunch</a> says. According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45858225/track-star-shacarri-richardson-partners-with-reddit-co-founder-alexis-ohanian-to-build-multicity-athlos-track-empire">Reddit</a>, the scraping began in July 2024 after Anthropic had publicly committed to blocking its bots from the site, Reuters reports.

</ul>
According to TechCrunch, Reddit says it approached Anthropic with licensing options, similar to those it already established with OpenAI and Google. Anthropic, however, declined to participate in any formal agreement, continuing to ingest Reddit content despite explicit warnings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Claude Allegedly Trained On Reddit Data Without Safeguards</h2>
Reuters says that Reddit cited <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45032450/how-and-why-brands-are-ensuring-their-visibility-in-models-like-openai-chatgpt-anthropics-claude-and-perplexity-as-these-ai-chatbots-challenge-googles-longtime-dominance">Claude</a>'s own statements admitting it was trained on "at least some Reddit data" and indicated uncertainty about whether deleted user content was included in the training set.
The online discussion platform claims Anthropic profited from this activity "to the tune of tens of billions of dollars," while refusing to offer compensation or uphold community trust. In its complaint, Reddit described Anthropic as styling itself as a "white knight" of AI ethics, while violating terms of service repeatedly, Reuters reports.
Anthropic spokesperson Danielle Ghighlieri told TechCrunch in a statement that the company disagrees with Reddit's claims and intends to defend itself vigorously.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A First For Big Tech And A Sign Of What's Coming</h2>
TechCrunch says that Reddit's lawsuit marks the first time a major tech platform has taken legal action against an AI model developer over training data access without a license.
This move comes on the heels of similar lawsuits filed by other content creators and publishers. The New York Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) for using its articles, while authors like Sarah Silverman and several musicians have launched lawsuits against Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and others for similar data practices.
Reddit, however, is focusing its legal argument on user agreement violations and unauthorized commercial enrichment, rather than copyright claims, according to Reuters.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Monetization Meets Moderation In The Age Of AI</h2>
Reddit&nbsp; Chief Legal Officer Ben Lee said that the online discussion board supports the open internet, but believes AI companies need "clear limitations" on how they use public content, Reuters reports.
"We will not tolerate profit-seeking entities like Anthropic commercially exploiting Reddit content for billions of dollars without any return for Redditors or respect for their privacy," Lee told TechCrunch. While Reddit has monetized access to its data through structured deals with other AI companies, it argues that Anthropic's refusal to enter such agreements represents a clear boundary violation.
The case could influence broader legal standards for data usage and reshape how generative AI systems engage with publicly available content at scale, Reuters says. With Reddit already forming paid partnerships with companies like Google and OpenAI, the outcome could signal a pivotal shift in AI content sourcing, investor risk, and the competitive landscape for startups like Anthropic.
