Renowned independent investment strategist Ed Yardeni, the President of Yardeni Research, has lowered his U.S. recession probability while raising his S&amp;P 500 target following the trade deal with China.
What Happened: After the U.S. and China announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day truce </a>on Monday, the markets cheered the development as the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rallied over 3%.
While this provides a short-term relief, Yardeni noted in his QuickTakes that the negative wealth effect of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs was &#8220;probably insignificant&#8221; after the announcement of the deal.
According to his earlier analysis, the tariff turmoil was having a &#8220;negative wealth effect on consumers, especially retired and soon-to-be retiring Baby Boomers, who collectively own about $25 trillion in corporate equities and mutual funds.&#8221;
This led him to raise the &#8220;subjective probability of a recession&#8221; this year from 20% to 35% on March 5, and from 35% to 45% on March 31 as stock prices tanked in response to the tariffs.
However, he said that &#8220;We didn&#8217;t cross over to the dark side subsequently, i.e., forecasting greater than a 50% chance of a recession. Instead, we lowered our recession odds back down to 35% on May 4. Now we are lowering it again to 25%.&#8221;
After Monday&#8217;s stock market rally, he also raised the S&amp;P 500 year-end target back up to 6,500 from 6,000.

Why It Matters: Concerning other metrics, Yardeni highlighted that he has raised the real GDP growth range to 1.5%-2.5% this year, up from our previous 0.5%-1.5%.
Also, he predicts the S&amp;P 500 forward earnings to rise to $300 per share at the end of this year.
&#8220;We now see the S&amp;P 500 forward P/E at 21.6 at the end of the year rather than 20.0 as we previously had projected,&#8221; he said.
Price Action: 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 track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, jumped with joy on Monday.

Former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli took aim at the quantum computing industry again on Monday, posting a series of critical remarks on X.
 What Happened: Shkreli, widely known as &#8220;Pharma Bro&#8221; for his controversial role in the pharmaceutical industry, dismissed the commercial promise of quantum computing as being several decades away, while also accusing publicly traded quantum firms of inflating their financial narratives to mislead investors.

&#8220;[The] Global Risk Institute interviewed 24 quantum computing experts who agreed it's 20-30 years before we see RSA2048 broken. 20-30 years before quantum works. I say 50,&#8221; Shkreli says, referencing the widely used encryption standard often cited as a benchmark for quantum disruption, along with a chart shared by the Global Risk Institute.

In a follow-up Tweet, Shkreli took on several publicly traded quantum computing stocks, starting with Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>), which announced its <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45360620/rigetti-stock-sinks-after-q1-revenues-miss-estimates-details">first quarter results</a> on Monday, posting a 51.77% year-over-year decline in revenues. &#8220;This is the real state of affairs in quantum compute,&#8221; he says, &#8220;nothing is happening.&#8221;
In the same post, he attacked others such as IONQ Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>), which he says is &#8220;making up&#8221; revenues via &#8220;desperate acquisitions. Followed by D-Wave Quantum Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>), which he accuses of getting lucky and selling a single machine, or generating revenue via &#8220;alleged fraud.&#8221; 
Benzinga reached out to IONQ, D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti, and Quantum Computing, and is awaiting their response.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Early this year, Shkreli published a comprehensive short thesis on quantum computing stocks on his X account, forecasting over 90% downsides for several stocks. The stocks covered in the thesis have witnessed a pullback since then.

More recently, Shkreli slammed Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) for its quantum chip breakthrough, Majorna 1. He added that the term &#8220;breakthrough&#8221; should be <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43840954/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-slams-microsofts-quantum-breakthrough-predicts-ionq-and-rgti-will-plummet-as-tech-falls-behind">used with caution</a>.
Following a strong performance in 2024, most quantum computing stocks have witnessed steep declines year-to-date in 2025, with D-Wave Quantum being the sole exception.

Economist and market commentator&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;projected Monday that the next Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) pullback would trigger an unrealized loss for Michael Saylor-led Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) on its BTC purchases.
What Happened: During his YouTube podcast, Schiff weighed in on Bitcoin recapturing the crucial $100,000 level and Strategy buying billions in the cryptocurrency funded by debt.
&#8220;His average cost now is almost 70,000 a bitcoin, so it&#8217;s getting higher and higher,&#8221; he said.
Schiff predicted that Strategy&#8217;s average acquisition cost might reach $70,000 by his next purchase, and the subsequent Bitcoin decline could push the firm &#8220;into&nbsp;the red&#8221; for the first&nbsp;time. &#8220;We&#8217;ll see what kind of fireworks that sparks,&#8221; he added.
Strategy didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Saylor&#8217;s company Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has been heavily investing in Bitcoin. The firm reported acquiring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45349057/strategy-buys-134b-in-bitcoin-at-99856-cites-155-btc-yield">13,390 BTC for approximately $1.34 billion at an average price of $99,856</a> per coin on Monday, pushing their total Bitcoin holdings to 568,840 BTC, accumulated at a combined cost of $39.41 billion and an average purchase price of $69,287.
Notably, the Bitcoin treasury company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44704504/michael-saylor-still-trusts-bitcoins-long-term-potential-even-as-strategy-risks-going-into-losses-on-btc-buys">came close to experiencing an unrealized loss</a> on its investments last month after the apex cryptocurrency slipped below $75,000 following President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariff announcement.
Schiff, a fierce critic of all things Bitcoin, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237876/peter-schiff-predicts-microstrategys-bankruptcy-due-to-bitcoin-investment-strategy">consistently questioned Strategy&#8217;s Bitcoin playbook</a>, arguing that its commitment to repay a large sum of money to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42186167/michael-saylors-microstrategy-convertible-notes-to-buy-bitcoin-offer-no-interest-so-why-are-investors-rushing-to-buy-them" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">debt holders</a>&nbsp;could be at risk if the leading cryptocurrency falls sharply.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $102,656.68, down 1.24% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Shares of Strategy rose 1.02% in after-hours trading after closing 2.67% lower at $404.91 during Monday&#8217;s regular session. Year-to-date, the stock has gained nearly 80%.

Nouriel Roubini, the Iranian-American economist known as &#8220;Dr. Doom&#8221; for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, said that President Donald Trump &#8220;blinked and chickened out&#8221; in his trade confrontation with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
What Happened: In his recent X post, Roubini asserted that Trump received &#8220;almost no concessions from the Chinese side&#8221; in what he characterized as a decisive victory for Xi. The economist warned that continued escalation would have triggered severe economic consequences.
&#8220;The tit for tat trade war escalation started by the U.S. would have spiked U.S. inflation, led to massive supply chain disruptions and would have triggered a serious U.S. and global recession,&#8221; Roubini wrote, adding this outcome &#8220;would have doomed the GOP and the MAGA grand goals by the 2026 mid term elections.&#8221;
Roubini indicated modest Chinese concessions might emerge during the announced 90-day negotiation period to &#8220;reset&#8221; trade relations, but maintained that &#8220;so far Xi is the clear winner.&#8221;

Why It Matters: On Monday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45367206/sp-500-rallies-over-3-on-us-china-90-day-tariff-truce-but-experts-warn-it-doesnt-guarantee-a-complete-resolution-of-the-trade-war">the U.S. and China agreed to drastically roll back tariffs</a> for an initial 90-day period. U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods dropped from 145% to 30%, while China cut its tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%.
The economist&#8217;s assessment comes amid his shifting economic outlook. Despite his traditional pessimism, Roubini recently expressed optimism about U.S. economic prospects, citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44754363/dr-doom-transforms-to-dr-boom-nouriel-roubini-says-mickey-mouse-could-be-us-president-and-economy-will-keep-growing">AI advancements potentially driving growth </a>to &#8220;4% by decade&#8217;s end&#8221; and &#8220;6% by the end of next decade.&#8221;
This analysis follows earlier warnings from Roubini that markets were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44754363/dr-doom-transforms-to-dr-boom-nouriel-roubini-says-mickey-mouse-could-be-us-president-and-economy-will-keep-growing">&#8220;delusional&#8221; about Federal Reserve intervention</a> amid trade tensions. He previously described the situation as a &#8220;three-way game of chicken&#8221; between Trump, Fed Chair Jerome Powell, and Jinping, predicting Trump would likely concede first.
While critical of Trump&#8217;s trade policies as &#8220;crazy and unfair,&#8221; Roubini acknowledged that China &#8220;needs to reform its economic model,&#8221; noting global consensus on this point beyond just U.S. demands.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day pause</a> on tariffs between the U.S. and China has resulted in a rally and positive market sentiment. However, experts caution that this reprieve is not a definitive end to the trade war, leaving significant uncertainty over the long term.
What Happened: According to John Murillo, Chief Dealing Officer of B2BROKER, a global fintech solutions provider, the news triggered an immediate positive market response. &#8220;Stocks and oil prices have rebounded – apparently, in reaction to the news, which can lead to lower costs for businesses and consumers,&#8221; Murillo noted.
The mutually agreed-upon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war">reduction in tariffs</a> mirrors a similar scenario observed last week during negotiations between the U.S. and the U.K., raising hopes for a potential kickstart to global trade and economic activity.
Despite the initial positive action following the announcement, Murillo emphasized the temporary nature of the agreement. &#8220;Now, while the 90-day pause is a big step towards easing tensions, it's crucial to remember that it doesn't guarantee a complete resolution of the trade war.&#8221;
He underscored that the market will closely monitor the ongoing negotiations within the upcoming 90 days to determine whether the tariffs will be permanently reduced or reinstated.
Murillo stressed that some factors need to be studied and resolved before a conclusive end to the trade dispute can be declared. &#8220;There's undoubtedly an issue of the U.S. goods' competitive pricing and Chinese customers' propensity to consume them in bulk volumes, which have not been studied and addressed yet to call it quits,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: Economic indicators will be a reflection of how these negotiations unfold. &#8220;If they (tariffs) come back or if negotiations fall through, we could face market volatility and a downturn in economic indicators,&#8221; explained Murillo.
Looking ahead, Murillo anticipates continued volatility in Treasury yields throughout the 90-day pause. &#8220;Treasury yields might experience more volatility, becoming quite sensitive to any news – whether affirmative or refuting – related to the trade negotiations and shifts in investor sentiment.&#8221;
Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, reiterated the same. He believed that the so-called "tariff climb down" might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45345994/us-china-tariff-truce-will-alleviate-worst-fears-but-prevent-falling-yields-keeping-economy-under-pressure-says-craig-shapiro">prevent bond yields from falling</a>, thereby maintaining pressure on an already strained economy as the Federal Reserve remains on the sidelines. 
According to him, inflationary effects from existing tariffs on aluminum, steel, and cars could continue to push up prices and inflation expectations, and this will prevent bond yields from falling, as investors demand higher yields to offset inflation risk and perceived economic uncertainty.
