<li>Bitcoin eroded market optimism with a significant retreat in response to President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs.</li>
<li>BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes has highlighted a key level to watch amid the rout.</li>
<li>Hayes has maintained the belief that Bitcoin still has a chance of more than doubling in price this year.</li>
</ul>
After days of anxious waiting, President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; came and went. As anticipated, equity and cryptocurrency markets did not like the idea of fresh and broad tariffs. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620686/sp-500-nasdaq-futures-plunge-over-3-as-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-plan-hits-market-confidence">A broad market sell-off</a> ensued in after-hours trading&nbsp; as the president read off his chart outlining &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221; on almost every country in the world, including uninhabited islands.
Bitcoin, in particular, dropped 5% from $88,500 to just over $82,000 and continues to trade near these lows, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44603859/bitcoin-braces-for-trump-tariff-announcement-short-term-optimism-has-the-upper-hand-experts-say">eroding earlier market optimism</a>. Amid the rout, one prominent analyst has pointed to a key level to watch.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Line In The Sand For Bitcoin?</h2>
According to BitMEX founder and Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes, the $76,500 price point is the level to watch for Bitcoin.
&#8220;if BTC can hold $76.5k btw now and US tax day Apr 15, then we are out of the woods,&#8221; he wrote in a Wednesday X post following Trump&#8217;s tariff announcements.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The price level aligns with the three-month price low Bitcoin hit on March 11. On March 20, Hayes <a href="https://x.com/CryptoHayes/status/1902564099592220793?t=wy6Bn4bxT1QzQLlipqlSHA&amp;s=19">speculated</a> that the level was the line in the sand for the asset, suggesting that the worst of the recent correction is over and that it is unlikely the asset will break below the level before making a run for new highs.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
For confirmation of Hayes&#8217; analysis, bulls will want to see a strong bounce from that level should Bitcoin retest it.
The analyst&#8217;s view comes as he continues to maintain that the leading digital asset is on course to more than double in price this year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin&#8217;s Road To $250,000 According To Arthur Hayes</h2>
Specifically, Hayes maintains that Bitcoin can still hit $250,000 by the end of the year.
This prediction is based on the belief that the Federal Reserve will have no choice but to pivot from quantitative tightening to quantitative easing due to political pressure as Trump seeks to reduce the U.S.&#8217;s trade deficit from 7% to 3% by 2028. In this scenario, the liquidity created is expected to boost risk markets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
In the analyst&#8217;s telling, this pivot may have already started following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44405112/tariff-inflation-may-be-transitory-powell-says-stocks-rally-bitcoin-clears-85000-as-bulls-return">remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell</a> in March. He announced a slowdown of the central bank's quantitative tightening efforts that kicked off Tuesday while stating that he now expected tariff inflation to be &#8220;transitory.&#8221;

With the move to slow down quantitative tightening, Hayes argued that the apex bank was already on course to create an extra $240 billion in liquidity.
&#8220;If my analysis of the Fed&#8217;s major pivot from QT to QE for treasuries is correct, then Bitcoin hit a local low of $76,500 last month, and now we begin the ascent to $250,000 by year-end,&#8221; he submitted in an <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/cryptohayes/p/the-bbc?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=android&amp;r=lwh9y">essay</a> released on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Hayes&#8217; expectation of greater market liquidity is not limited to the U.S. The analyst also expects China and Europe to join in the money printing—the former to defend the dollar-yuan exchange rate, the latter to build armies as the U.S. under Trump looks set to step back from guaranteeing its protection.
Nonetheless, at the time of writing, Bitcoin continues to fall, trading below $82,000 in an over 5% decline over the past 24 hours.

If Bitcoin Holds This Level Between Now And April 15, Arthur Hayes Says 'We Are Out Of The Woods'

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street reeled this week as President Donald Trump's new global tariffs and hawkish Fed signals rattled investors. The tariffs triggered broad selloffs, dragging the S&amp;P 500 to its worst weekly loss since the pandemic's onset in 2020.
Stocks tumbled Thursday and Friday, with tech and consumer names especially hard-hit, as traders braced for higher costs and retaliatory trade risks. Concerns mounted over how renewed trade tensions could disrupt supply chains and weigh on corporate margins.
At the same time, Federal Reserve officials signaled fewer rate cuts ahead, compounding fears and sending bond yields higher, further pressuring equities across sectors.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nike, Target, And Walmart Among Hardest-Hit Following Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariffs

Chamath Palihapitiya, in a post on X, has shared an old video in which renowned investor Warren Buffett has shared his thoughts on the emotional and psychological aspects of stock ownership, emphasizing the importance of staying calm during market volatility.
What Happened: Buffett, known as the ‘Oracle of Omaha', shared his insights on stock ownership, emphasizing emotional and psychological readiness.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to do dumb things because your stock goes down, you shouldn&#8217;t own a stock at all," Buffet said during an interview with CNBC.

Buffett&#8217;s remarks highlight the importance of maintaining composure during market fluctuations. He suggested that some individuals may not be suited for stock ownership due to their emotional responses to market changes.

This advice comes as a reminder to investors about the significance of psychological preparedness in the stock market.

Why It Matters: Buffett&#8217;s advice comes at a time when market conditions are particularly unstable. Recently, the U.S. stock market faced a significant downturn due to escalating tensions between the U.S. and China. The ‘Liberation Day' tariffs announced by President Donald Trump led to a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-of-inflation"> $5 trillion loss in market capitalization</a> for S&amp;P 500 companies over just two days.

This environment of heightened uncertainty underscores the importance of Buffett&#8217;s advice on emotional readiness and composure in stock ownership.

'If You're Going To Do Dumb Things Because Your Stock Goes Down…:' Warren Buffett's Old Warning Gains Steam As US Stocks Wipe Out $5 Trillion After Trump Tariffs

In a lighthearted moment on Friday during Microsoft Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44655911/microsoft-worker-disrupts-50th-anniversary-celebration-hurls-accusations-at-ai-ceo-mustafa-suleyman-while-calling-the-tech-giant-war-profiteer">50th anniversary celebrations</a>, AI Copilot, the company&#8217;s artificial intelligence assistant, took the opportunity to roast Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, and Steve Ballmer.
What Happened: As part of a special event, Microsoft CEO Nadella, along with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44655737/former-microsoft-ceo-steve-ballmer-says-trumps-new-tariffs-could-spark-global-turmoil-hurt-consumers-as-satya-nadella-led-msfts-stock-drops-14-ytd">former CEOs Gates and Ballmer</a>, sat down for an interview with Copilot, which was designed to celebrate the company&#8217;s legacy.
The conversation kicks off with Satya Nadella prompting, &#8220;wrap it up by asking or maybe roast giving us each an AI roast?&#8221;
Without missing a beat, Microsoft's AI-powered assistant fires back with flair: "Alright, Satya. Let's spice it up."
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44508019/tesla-and-other-us-robotics-giants-demand-federal-strategy-to-compete-with-chinas-138-billion-push-warn-america-will-lose-the-race-without-it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla And Other US Robotics Giants Demand Federal Strategy To Compete With China's $138 Billion Push — Warn America Will Lose The Race Without It</a>
Copilot kicked things off with Ballmer, known for his boundless energy. "Steve, we&#8217;ll start with you. Your enthusiasm is legendary, but do you ever worry that your energy might short-circuit the AI? I mean, even robots need a coffee break after your pep talks," the Copilot joked.
Ballmer, unfazed, fired back with his trademark bravado: "Come on, dude. If you can&#8217;t handle me, you can&#8217;t handle a huge percentage of the world&#8217;s population. We&#8217;re counting on you."
"Fair point, Steve," the AI conceded.

Next up was Gates, with Copilot teasing his signature intense expression. "Now, Bill, you&#8217;ve got that signature thoughtful gaze, but do you ever think the AI might feel intimidated by your intense thinking face? I mean, it&#8217;s like it&#8217;s waiting for a blue screen moment," it asked.
Gates, never short on dry wit, replied:&nbsp; "I hope so. I mean, that&#8217;s all I&#8217;ve got left as these AIs get so damn intelligent. It&#8217;s just that gaze and my willingness to criticize that differentiates me."
"And it&#8217;s a formidable gaze indeed, Bill," the AI acknowledged.
Ballmer then jumped in, posing a question to Copilot, saying, "Copilot, would you ever be willing to criticise him?" To which Copilot responded, "Absolutely. Criticism is where growth happens."
Turning to current CEO Nadella, Copilot couldn't resist a final jab — this time about Nadella's well-documented passion for AI.
"Satya, AI seems to be your best buddy," the Copilot said. "But ever worry that your deep passion for AI could one day have it running the show, leaving you to just enjoy the ride?"
Nadella answered with a reference close to his heart — cricket.&nbsp; "Well, the day AI can play like the best cricket player that I enjoy, that&#8217;s the day it can run the show as far as I&#8217;m concerned."
"Touche, Satya. Let&#8217;s see if it can hit a century in cricket, and then we&#8217;ll talk. This has been a blast, gentlemen," the AI concluded, adding, "Here&#8217;s to another 50 years of innovation and adventure. Cheers."
Gates, ever the realist, added a cheeky final thought, "Whatever that means to an AI. Does it drink?"

Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, And Steve Ballmer Get Roasted By Microsoft's AI Copilot: 'Let's Spice It Up'

Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, on Friday warned that President Donald Trump&#8217;s new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday">tariffs could push the U.S. economy</a> into a recession but remained optimistic that innovation and smart policy could lead to a recovery.
What Happened: During an "Employment Friday" session, Wood analyzed the potential effects of Trump's newly imposed tariffs, which include a universal 10% base tariff on all imports and specific country tariffs, including 34% on China and 26% on India.
"Markets are in quite a bit of turmoil," Wood said, addressing the uncertainty created by these measures. She cautioned that these policies could push the U.S. into a recession, adding,&nbsp;

"We know how he calculated his version of reciprocity, but it doesn&#8217;t seem to make very much sense," she stated.
However, Wood also expressed hope that, with the right strategic policies, such as tax cuts and deregulation, the economy could eventually stabilize and grow. She also pointed to the lessons learned from the 2008 financial crisis, where market recovery began in late 2008 despite widespread financial turmoil.
She shared the video on X and said that the current situation could also be seen as a potential turning point. 
"Innovation gains traction during tough times," she said, referencing how businesses and consumers are often more willing to adapt and change when facing economic uncertainty.
She pointed to technological advances in AI, blockchain, and robotics as key factors that could help drive recovery.
"We are in the eye of the storm," Wood said. "But if President Trump cares about his legacy — which we know he does — or the midterm election campaign season, which will start this fall, then the last leg of this rolling recession is giving him and the Fed more degrees of freedom to pivot."

Cathie Wood Weighs In On Trump's 'Tariff Turmoil' And Potential Economic Impact: 'If President Trump Cares About His Legacy…'

Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX, Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, and Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>)&nbsp;United Launch Alliance&nbsp;(ULA) have been awarded contracts by the U.S. Space Force.
These contracts, valued at $13.5 billion, are intended for launching critical satellites into orbit by 2029.
What Happened: These contracts are part of the Space Force&#8217;s National Security Space Launch program, which will allocate approximately 54 missions through incremental task orders.
SpaceX will handle 28 missions, securing $5.9 billion, while ULA, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, will conduct 19 missions for $5.3 billion.
Blue Origin&nbsp;will manage seven missions, valued at $2.3 billion, with launches planned for later years.
The program recognizes these companies as leading U.S. rocket providers, despite&nbsp;Blue Origin&#8217;s&nbsp;limited launch experience compared to&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;and&nbsp;ULA.
SpaceX&nbsp;plans to utilize its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets&nbsp;for the Phase 3 missions.
ULA&#8217;s&nbsp;Vulcan rocket, recently certified for national security missions, will also be used.&nbsp;The awards are part of&nbsp;the Phase 3 program&#8217;s &#8220;Lane 2&#8221; track, which involves the Pentagon&#8217;s most challenging and costly missions.
SpaceX&nbsp;is expected to receive the majority of the missions in the program&#8217;s first year, reflecting its high launch rate.
Elon Musk quipped that despite ULA bagging 40% of the Phase 3 missions, they cannot deliver on them yet.
"I hope they succeed, but they aren't there yet."

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Winning 60% of the missions may sound generous, but the reality is that all SpaceX competitors combined cannot currently deliver the other 40%! I hope they succeed, but they aren't there yet.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: This latest award highlights&nbsp;SpaceX&#8217;s&nbsp;growing influence in securing federal contracts, a trend that has been building over recent years.
In March, it was reported that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44452231/elon-musks-spacex-on-track-to-secure-billions-in-federal-contracts-under-trump-report">SpaceX</a>&nbsp;was on track to secure billions in federal contracts under the Trump administration, with backing for its rocket technology for military cargo transportation.
Meanwhile, international competition is heating up, as Chinese startups, with support from President Xi Jinping, aim to challenge&nbsp;SpaceX&#8217;s dominance by 2030. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44451622/chinas-private-space-founder-says-they-can-beat-elon-musks-spacex-by-2030-as-president-xi-jinping-bets-big-on-reusable-rockets-to-break-free-from-us-tech-dependence">China&#8217;s private space sector</a>&nbsp;is making strides with reusable rockets.
Additionally,&nbsp;SpaceX&#8217;s recent success in safely returning NASA astronauts from the International Space Station further underscores its reliability and capability in space missions.
This was demonstrated in March when astronauts returned to Earth in a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/03/44391875/sunita-williams-butch-wilmore-return-to-earth-on-spacex-dragon-capsule-after-286-days-in-space-nasa-astronauts-to-undergo-health-checks">SpaceX Dragon capsule</a>&nbsp;after an extended mission.

Elon Musk's SpaceX, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, And Boeing-Lockheed's ULA Bag $13.5 Billion Pentagon Launch Contracts

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has enacted sweeping tariffs that could significantly increase the cost of consumer goods, including&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones. Analysts foresee a potential price surge&nbsp;of 30% to 40% if&nbsp;Apple passes these costs onto consumers.
What Happened: According to a report by Reuters, most iPhones are manufactured in China, which now faces a 54% tariff.
If these tariffs persist, Apple must choose between absorbing the increased costs or transferring them to customers. Apple shares dropped 9.3% on Thursday, marking&nbsp;their worst day since March&nbsp;2020.
Projections from Rosenblatt Securities suggest that Apple&#8217;s iPhone 16, initially priced at $799, could rise to $1,142. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, currently $1,599, might reach nearly $2,300 with a 43% price hike.
Despite some production shifting to Vietnam and India, these countries also face tariffs of 46% and 26%, respectively.

Analysts like Angelo Zino from CFRA Research propose that Apple might delay significant price increases until the iPhone 17 launch in the fall.
Why It Matters: The tariffs imposed by President Trump have far-reaching implications beyond just consumer electronics.
Former Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Larry Summers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44622754/tariffs-are-most-expensive-and-masochistic-could-cost-30-trillion-to-the-economy-erasing-300k-per-family-explains-former-treasury-secretary-larry-summers">described these tariffs</a> as the &#8220;most expensive and masochistic&#8221; decision by the U.S., potentially costing the economy $30 trillion, or about $300,000 per family.
Additionally, the automotive sector is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44119668/trump-tariffs-could-make-your-next-car-12000-more-expensive-expert-says-25-fees-will-have-a-sharp-negative-effect-on-auto-sales">expected to face</a> significant challenges. Experts predict that the tariffs could increase car prices by $12,000, negatively impacting auto sales.
The tariffs, which include a <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">25% duty on imports</a> from Mexico and most goods from Canada, excluding energy-related items, are part of a broader strategy that could have substantial repercussions for American businesses and consumers.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock has declined nearly 25% year-to-date, closing at $188.38 on Friday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

iPhone Prices Could Soar To Almost $2,300 Due To Trump Tariffs If Apple Decides To Pass On The Costs To Buyers

On Friday, a Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) employee disrupted the company's 50th-anniversary event, accusing the tech giant of complicity in war crimes. Microsoft&#8217;s former CEOs Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and current CEO Satya Nadella attended the event.

Worker Disrupts Microsoft 50th Anniversay Event With Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, And Satya Nadella Present, Calls Tech Giant 'War Profiteer'

Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, has attributed the recent stock market decline to the Chinese AI tool DeepSeek rather than President Donald Trump&#8216;s policies.
What Happened: During an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, Bessent emphasized that the market downturn began with the announcement of DeepSeek.
He stated, &#8220;For everyone who thinks these market declines are all based on the President&#8217;s economic policies, I can tell you that this market decline started with the Chinese AI announcement of DeepSeek.&#8221;
"…What&#8217;s happening with the market I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s more a Mag 7 problem, not a MAGA problem,&#8221; Bessent added. The &#8220;Mag 7&#8221; refers to seven high-performing tech stocks that had previously driven the market higher.

Despite a 10% drop in U.S. stocks following Trump&#8217;s new global tariff regime announcement, Bessent downplayed the impact of these policies. He also reiterated the administration&#8217;s commitment to a &#8220;strong dollar&#8221; policy, dismissing claims that tariffs were meant to weaken the dollar.
The dollar has declined nearly 6% against major currencies since Trump&#8217;s inauguration.
Why It Matters: The market&#8217;s reaction to President Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement has been significant. The U.S. markets faced a severe downturn, with S&amp;P 500 companies<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-of-inflation"> losing $5 trillion in value</a> since the tariffs were announced.
This has led to concerns about potential global turmoil and negative impacts on consumers, as highlighted by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer in an interview with CNBC. Ballmer warned that the escalating tariffs could have far-reaching effects on the economy.
Furthermore, a Goldman Sachs analyst has pointed out that Trump&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44652222/trumps-tariffs-may-shift-us-spending-from-goods-to-services-creating-uncertainty-for-ecommerce-and-advertising-industries-analyst-warns"> tariffs could shift U.S. spending</a> from goods to services, creating uncertainty for e-commerce and advertising industries. This uncertainty is expected to slow corporate decisions and impact economic activity for the remainder of the year.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Says Stock Market Decline Is Due To China's DeepSeek, Not Trump's Policies: 'Mag 7 Problem, Not A MAGA Problem'

On Friday, former Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer expressed concern that President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">new tariffs could lead</a> to global turmoil and negatively impact consumers, especially as Microsoft's stock faces a 14.03% drop year-to-date.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/04/former-microsoft-ceo-steve-ballmer-on-trump-tariffs-not-good.html">interview</a> with CNBC, Ballmer warned that the U.S. government's escalating tariffs would have far-reaching effects on the economy, including significant challenges for consumers and investors.
"As a Microsoft shareholder, this kind of thing is not good," he stated, noting that the new tariffs on imported goods—affecting over 100 countries—would likely create significant disruption, particularly in industries reliant on global trade, like tech.
"I took just enough economics in college — that tariffs are actually going to bring some turmoil," Ballmer added.
Ballmer, who has been involved with Microsoft since its early days, spoke alongside Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and current CEO Satya Nadella at a celebration marking the company's 50th anniversary.
Ballmer, now the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, called himself Microsoft&#8217;s largest individual shareholder. A regulatory filing from 2014, the same year he purchased the Clippers for $2 billion, revealed that he owned more than 333 million Microsoft shares at the time.

Why It Matters: Earlier this week, Microsoft reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44645946/microsoft-halts-data-center-expansions-due-to-semiconductor-tariff-concerns-ai-overcapacity-fears">halted the launch of some</a> of its data center projects, both in the U.S. and internationally, despite committing $80 billion this fiscal year to AI-driven data center infrastructure.
Previously, Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor emeritus at Wharton School, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44648557/trumps-tariffs-could-be-worse-than-smoot-hawley-act-jeremy-siegel-tells-cnbc">compared Trump&#8217;s tariff policy</a> to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which is often blamed for exacerbating the Great Depression.
Jim Cramer also criticized the tariffs <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44642302/jim-cramer-slams-trumps-new-tariffs-despite-calling-himself-pro-tariff-labels-it-a-manmade-disaster">as a &#8220;manmade disaster,&#8221;</a> arguing they are not reciprocal and could cause significant market harm.
Conversely, JPMorgan analyst Thomas Kennedy sees tariffs as a potential catalyst for significant long-term transformation. He suggests that the age of globalization is over.

Trinh Nguyen, senior economist for emerging Asia at Natixis, told CNBC earlier that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44625309/teacher-would-laugh-and-say-sit-down-top-analyst-compares-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-calculations-to-a-9th-graders-economics-project">U.S. tariff strategy is primarily focused</a> on addressing trade imbalances rather than ensuring parity in tariff or non-tariff measures.
She explained that this approach poses a significant challenge for many Asian nations, especially those with lower income levels, as it demands they purchase more American goods than they export to the U.S., a target that is difficult to achieve in the short term.
Price Action: Microsoft shares fell 3.56% on Friday, closing at $359.84. Over the past 12 months, the stock has declined by 15.44%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Says Trump's New Tariffs Could Spark Global Turmoil, Hurt Consumers As Satya Nadella-Led MSFT's Stock Drops 14% YTD

The U.S. markets faced a severe downturn as tensions between the U.S. and China escalated following the announcement of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock"> new tariffs by President</a> Donald Trump.
What Happened: The stock market experienced a significant downturn on Friday, with S&amp;P 500 companies losing $5 trillion in value since Trump announced extensive tariffs on Wednesday, according to a report by Reuters.
The Nasdaq confirmed it was in a bear market, dropping over 20% from its record high. Oil and other commodity prices also saw a sharp decline. This $5 trillion loss marked a record two-day drop for the S&amp;P 500, surpassing the $3.3 trillion loss in March 2020 during the pandemic, as per LSEG data compiled by Reuters.
In response to Trump&#8217;s tariffs, China announced additional levies of 34% on U.S. goods, heightening fears of a global trade war. Trump imposed a 10% tariff on most U.S. imports, with higher levies on several countries, creating the steepest trade barriers in over a century.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell commented on the unexpected size of Trump&#8217;s tariffs,<a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates"> predicting higher inflation</a> and slower growth. Meanwhile, JP Morgan increased its recession forecast to a 60% chance by year-end.
Why It Matters: The announcement of reciprocal tariffs by President Trump on April 2, 2025, marked a significant shift in U.S. trade policy. Described as &#8220;our Declaration of Economic Independence,&#8221; the tariffs aimed to rebalance trade relationships by imposing duties on imports from key partners.
The immediate impact was a massive sell-off in global markets, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday"> Wall Street erasing $2 trillion</a> in market cap on Thursday.

The tariffs have been likened to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which worsened the Great Depression, raising concerns about the global economic outlook.

Trump Tariffs Erode $5 Trillion In Market Cap In 2 Days As China Retaliates, Jerome Powell Warns Of Inflation

The ongoing negotiations over TikTok's U.S. operations have been delayed after China signaled its opposition to the proposed sale. President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for ByteDance's divestment <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44645172/china-retaliates-with-34-tariff-on-all-us-imports-urges-trump-to-immediately-cancel-the-tariffs-calls-for-negotiation">due to the tariff hikes</a>.
What Happened: On Friday, President Trump announced an extension of the deadline for ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations of the popular video-sharing app TikTok.
The new deadline, extended by 75 days, was <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44350823/oracle-reportedly-in-talks-with-white-house-over-project-texas-20-to-manage-tiktok-amid-security-concerns">initially set to expire</a> on Saturday under a 2024 law that mandates ByteDance sell TikTok's U.S. assets or face a potential ban.
The delay comes after China expressed strong disapproval of the deal, a stance that has now complicated the negotiations, reported Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter.

The deal was reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44563161/trump-says-tiktok-has-a-lot-of-potential-buyers-deal-to-come-before-saturday-deadline">near completion by Wednesday</a>, with the structure set to spin off TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations into a new company. This new company would have been based in the U.S. and majority-owned by U.S. investors, with ByteDance maintaining a minority stake of less than 20%.
However, as tensions escalated over the U.S.-China trade relations and the recently introduced tariffs, China's opposition halted the deal.
The Chinese government, via the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said, "China has stated its position on TikTok on multiple occasions. China has always respected and protected the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and opposed practices that violate the basic principles of the market economy."

This response followed President Trump's decision to implement a new round of tariffs, increasing duties on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44628368/trumps-tariffs-prompt-china-to-vow-countermeasures-experts-see-retaliation-likely">Chinese goods to 54%</a>, which directly affected the negotiations.
Trump acknowledged the difficulty in finalizing the deal given the new tariffs but expressed hope that discussions could continue in good faith with China.
He also stated, &#8220;We do not want TikTok to &#8216;go dark,'&#8221; underscoring his intention to find a solution that prevents the app from being banned in the U.S.
Why It Matters: The delay in TikTok's U.S. divestment highlights the ongoing friction between the U.S. and China over tech companies, national security concerns, and trade relations.
TikTok has faced scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers over concerns that the Chinese government could use the app to gather sensitive data on American citizens or influence them through its algorithm.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Loads Up On Amazon Amid Over 20% Decline In A Year: Offloads UiPath, Roblox

<ul>
<li>Several altcoins crashed in minutes on Binance on Tuesday despite quiet market conditions.</li>
<li>Some have pointed to an exchange update as the cause of the turbulence, but questions remain.</li>
<li>Localized flash crashes are nothing new in crypto.</li>
</ul>
While cryptocurrency market participants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44603859/bitcoin-braces-for-trump-tariff-announcement-short-term-optimism-has-the-upper-hand-experts-say">have been bracing for volatility all week</a>, users of the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, Binance, were still caught off guard when several altcoins crashed on the exchange, costing at least one trader seven figures.
Is an exchange update to blame?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steep Losses and Lingering Questions</h2>
On Tuesday, several altcoins saw significant price declines in minutes on Binance despite relatively quiet market conditions. The most notable of them, a popular Solana memecoin, Act 1 The Prophecy, or ACT, tanked as much as 52% in 30 minutes from $0.1897 to $0.0904 and, albeit at a slower pace, is still falling at the time of writing on Wednesday, trading at $0.0588.
Besides ACT, DEXE, the token for DeXe, a decentralized autonomous organization, also fell about 35% in 45 minutes, though, unlike ACT, it has recouped some of its initial losses at the time of writing.
Other tokens that recorded significant losses include BANANAS31, HIPPO, KAVA, LUMIA, QUICK, and TST.
Amid the chaos, at least one trader has suffered significant losses. Prominent crypto smart money tracker Lookonchain highlighted CoinGlass data showing that a whale was liquidated for $3.79 million as the price of ACT hit $0.1877.

Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Many, including Lookonchain, have attributed the recent incident to an update to Binance&#8217;s leverage trading platform, sparking outrage from users. Specifically, on Tuesday, the exchange tweaked the leverage and margin tiers for several pairs, including 1000SATSUSDT, ACTUSDT, PNUTUSDT, NEOUSDT, NEOUSDC, TURBOUSDT, and MEWUSDT.&nbsp;
But the explanation that this update was the problem raises the question of why only ACT was affected in this list and why other tokens like DEXE were impacted.
Binance, for its part, has released the findings of a preliminary investigation, stating, &#8220;there were no market anomalies during the adjustments.&#8221; The exchange did, however, highlight large ACT spot sell orders on the platform around the time that may have sparked volatility under low liquidity conditions.&nbsp;
According to the exchange, three VIP accounts sold ACT tokens worth approximately 514,000 USDT, while one non-VIP account sold 540,000 USDT worth of the token. Still, the exchange dispelled any notion of a coordinated effort to drive down the price of the token by asserting that no single account made significant profits from the incident.
Localized flash crashes like this are nothing new in crypto.

In October, BGB, the native token of the cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, experienced an isolated flash crash that caused it to lose 50% of its value in 15 minutes. This forced the exchange to promise full compensation for any losses.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Sea Stock In The Last 5 Years

Back in 2010, Elon Musk wasn't the world's richest man or the tech messiah with a rocket company, electric car empire, and social media platform in his grip. He was a newly minted billionaire fighting to keep Tesla alive, rebuilding SpaceX, and—at the time—trying to dodge a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44402199/elon-musks-first-ex-wife-says-she-sucked-at-being-his-trophy-wife-and-recalls-him-saying-if-you-were-my-employee-i-would-fire-you">media circus around his divorce</a>.
But when the headlines started claiming he "ran off with an actress," Musk lost his patience.
"Given the choice, I'd rather stick a fork in my hand than write about my personal life," he wrote in a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/correcting-the-record-about-my-divorce-2010-7">Business Insider essay</a>. "Unfortunately, it seems that I don't have any other option."

</ul>
What followed was a rare, unfiltered look into Musk's private life—something he still mostly avoids today. He wasn't posting memes or fighting culture wars yet. This was about correcting what he called a journalist's "creepy fixation" on his marriage, finances, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43680809/elon-musks-ex-wife-whom-he-was-engaged-to-only-2-weeks-after-meeting-joked-he-invited-her-to-his-hotel-room-just-to-watch-rocket-videos">woman he was about to marry</a>: British actress Talulah Riley.
Musk made it clear that he filed for divorce from his first wife, Justine, before meeting Riley. "Talulah and I lived on opposite sides of the world and hadn't even known of each other's existence before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43940599/elon-musks-second-ex-wife-says-he-proposed-to-her-without-a-ring-and-they-shook-hands-on-it-but-later-he-gave-her-3-engagement-rings">marriage with Justine ended</a>," he wrote. The narrative that he abandoned a "devoted wife" to run off with a young actress? "Could not have been more falsely applied."
Still, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43680809/elon-musks-ex-wife-whom-he-was-engaged-to-only-2-weeks-after-meeting-joked-he-invited-her-to-his-hotel-room-just-to-watch-rocket-videos">relationship with Riley</a> did move quickly. Musk was reportedly engaged to her just two weeks after they met. In a 2014 <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-and-spacex-elon-musks-industrial-empire/">interview with CBS News</a>, Riley confirmed how fast things escalated: "It all happened very fast. We were engaged after, I think, sorta two weeks of knowing each other."
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
In the Business Insider essay, Musk also took the opportunity to praise his new fiancée. "It is worth mentioning that Talulah, as anyone who knows her would attest, is one of the most kind hearted and gentle people in the world," he wrote.
They married later that year in 2010, just months after meeting. But like much of Musk's life, the relationship didn't follow a straight path. They divorced in 2012, remarried in 2013, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/01/36561210/elon-musk-married-and-divorced-the-same-woman-twice-paying-her-over-20-million-in-settlements-she-sa">finalized a second divorce in 2016</a>.
He also shot down rumors that he was trying to dodge financial responsibilities. Media outlets had portrayed him as "broke," despite his equity in Tesla and SpaceX. Musk explained that he had funneled nearly all of his cash into saving Tesla from collapse in 2007, leaving just enough to cover his living expenses—which mostly included childcare and supporting Justine's household.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
His legal bills alone? Around $4 million, or $170,000 a month, most of which went to his ex-wife's lawyers. Under California law, he was required to foot both sides of the bill.
"I never said I was broke," he wrote. "At no point have I ever sought to limit support payments to Justine."
He said he had offered her a post-tax settlement worth roughly $80 million, but she declined, insisting on equity in Tesla and SpaceX. A judge ultimately sided with Musk, upholding the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42878599/elon-musk-married-and-divorced-the-same-woman-twice-paid-her-over-20-million-in-settlements-she-refers-to-him-as-perfect-ex-husband">couple's marital agreement</a>.
As for the media coverage, Musk didn't hold back. He called out journalists for repeating inaccuracies without checking court documents. One, in particular, he described as "Silicon Valley's Jayson Blair"—and said that was probably unfair to Blair.
Fifteen years and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44050706/elon-musks-neuralink-executive-and-mother-to-3-of-his-13-kids-says-he-was-never-interested-in-doing-anything-for-money-just-for-humanity">several kids later</a>, Musk still doesn't open up much about his personal life. But in 2010, when he felt backed into a corner, he made his case—on his terms, fork and all.

$100 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43759618/charlie-munger-said-the-hardest-part-of-getting-rich-is-the-first-100000-but-from-there-it-snowballs-and-you-can-ease-off-the-gas">late Charlie Munger</a> didn't warm up with pleasantries—and he definitely didn't care about making anyone comfortable. In a <a href="https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/charlie-munger">2023 interview on the "Acquired" podcast</a>, just weeks before he would have turned 100, the Berkshire Hathaway legend made his view on money crystal clear: it's not about yachts, bragging rights, or some Forbes list.&nbsp;
"The point of getting rich is so you don't have to need other people, so you don't have to get along with other people," he said.&nbsp;
It wasn't bitterness. It was clarity. When asked if he'd go into investing again if he were 30 years old today, Munger said he probably would—because it fit his nature. But managing outside capital? Not so much.

</ul>
"I didn't really enjoy the 3 and 30 business," he said. "Once I had enough money on my own, I'd rather just operate with my own money."
He didn't want to chase investors. He didn't want to pitch ideas or take meetings just to appease consultants. He was over it. "Being forced to sell, being forced to deal with investment bankers, being forced to deal with investment consultants, being forced to deal with venture capital… To hell with them. Who wants it?"
The takeaway wasn't that wealth buys power—it's that it removes friction. Fewer meetings. Fewer explanations. Fewer people standing between you and your decisions.
Munger also wasn't trying to act like success was a formula.&nbsp;
When reflecting on Berkshire's early days, he said it came down to a mix of ability, effort, and pure luck. "Almost everything has three things: They're very intelligent, they worked very hard, and they were very lucky. It takes all three."

But knowing when to act—that mattered too. "When you know you have an edge, you should bet heavily," he said. "Most people don't teach that in business school."
That mindset showed up in everything from his investment philosophy to how he ran partnerships. He preferred simplicity, trust, and long-term thinking. He liked working with people who stayed the course, not those chasing the next exit.
And despite his success, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44438885/charlie-munger-told-a-20-year-old-that-getting-rich-through-investing-is-damn-near-impossible-and-you-might-need-10-million-in-the-bank">he knew the game didn't get easier</a>. "It's very difficult to invest money well," he said. "I think it's all but impossible to do time after time after time in venture capital."
Munger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44458811/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-drives-a-2014-cadillac-but-joked-charlie-mungers-idea-of-traveling-in-style-was-an-air-conditioned-bus">didn't care much for trends</a>, titles, or playing nice. He cared about thinking clearly and doing what made sense. If that rubbed people the wrong way, he'd already made peace with that.
