The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed almost no change in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Tuesday.
U.S. stocks settled mixed on Tuesday, with the S&amp;P 500 closing slightly higher during the session as investors awaited details on the tariff plans expected from the Trump administration on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, a Washington Post report suggested the administration is considering a sweeping 20% tariff on most of the $3 trillion in annual imports.
The S&amp;P 500 declined 5.8% in March, recording its biggest monthly decline since December 2022. The Nasdaq dipped 8.2%, while the Dow tumbled 4.2% last month. For the quarter, the S&amp;P 500 dropped, while the Nasdaq dipped 10.4%. The Dow lost 1.3% during the first three months of the year.
On the economic data front, the ISM manufacturing PMI declined to 49 in March compared to a reading of 50.3 in February, and also missing market estimates of 49.5. U.S. construction spending increased 0.7% month-over-month in February following a revised 0.5% fall in January. The number of job openings fell by 194,000 to 7.568 million in February compared to a revised 7.762 million in the previous month.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with consumer discretionary, communication services, and information technology stocks recording the biggest gains on Tuesday. However, health care and financial stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 12 points to 41,989.96 on Tuesday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.38% to 5,633.07, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.87% to 17,449.89 during Tuesday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from UniFirst Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNF#NYSE">UNF</a>), BlackBerry Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BB#NYSE">BB</a>), and RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 19.3, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Tuesday, versus a prior reading of 19.3.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

S&P 500 Settles Higher Ahead Of Tariff Day: Greed Index Remains In 'Extreme Fear' Zone

Palantir Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) has a lot at stake with the federal budget about to get slashed to the tune of $1 trillion by May this year, as part of the D.O.G.E. initiative, spearheaded by Elon Musk.
What Happened: The Alex Karp-led company has had a tough couple of weeks, with the stock dropping nearly 33% since mid-February, losing $90 billion in market capitalization, all in response to the ongoing efficiency drive within the US Federal Government that seeks to cut unnecessary expenses.
The DOGE team recently uncovered 1,000s unused software licenses within the government, and the Department of Defense went a step further and <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44559866/pltr-stock-falls-over-7-in-monday-pre-market-whats-going-on">canceled its contracts</a> with Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), citing delays and cost overruns. While Palantir wasn&#8217;t impacted by any of this, the intention was made clear, wasteful expenses will not be tolerated.

Adding to these concerns, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) analyst Gabriela Borges recently <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/stocks/PLTR/pressreleases/31650770/government-budget-cuts-and-goldmans-worries-weigh-on-palantir-stock-pltr/">reiterated her &#8216;Neutral&#8217; stance</a> on the stock, citing valuation concerns and uncertainties regarding its long-term competitive edge.
After exploring Palantir&#8217;s core platform and features, including the new Ontology platform, Borges felt that the company&#8217;s competitive advantages could erode rather quickly as AI continues to advance across the board. It certainly didn&#8217;t warrant a valuation of nearly 450 times earnings.
However, other analysts such as Wedbush have <a href="https://qz.com/gateway/trump-trade-war-tariffs-stock-market-1851774130">spoken out in favor of the company</a>, citing long-term tailwinds from DOGE and the broader pursuit of governmental efficiencies. Wedbush analysts said, &#8220;Palantir could actually gain more deals and IT budget dollars across various government agencies.&#8221;
Why It Matters: With 40% of its revenues coming from government contracts, Palantir is poised to experience at least some headwinds in the near term. 
The last time the US government decided to balance the budget was in the early 2010s, during the sequestration, when IT stocks with exposure to the government saw their valuations evaporate. Palantir could experience the same, not because it doesn&#8217;t add any value, but because its valuations are too high to justify any such volatility in earnings.
Benzinga Edge Rankings show Palantir having strong growth and momentum, scoring at 86th and 99th percentile, respectively, while being tagged as unfavorable in the short-term, but favorable in the medium and long-term.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) could drop to $1,500 before the repeatedly delayed Pectra upgrade launches in late April, according to MEXC Chief Operating Officer Tracy Jin, though long-term projections remain optimistic with <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43763591/ethereum-slashes-fees-by-70-ahead-of-pectra-fusakas-april-rollout">potential $8,000 highs by year-end</a>.
What Happened: The second-largest cryptocurrency has struggled in 2025, dropping 38% since January while investors redirect capital away from ETH exchange-traded funds. Network activity has reached historic lows despite past improvements in transaction speed and cost.
&#8220;A second decline to $1,500 by the end of the month is very likely,&#8221; Jin said, noting that despite transaction improvements, &#8220;the community has switched to using other blockchains.&#8221;
However, Jin highlighted positive indicators suggesting accumulation. ETH holdings on centralized exchanges have fallen to their lowest levels since November 2015, indicating investors may be purchasing coins at current price points ahead of anticipated improvements.

Why It Matters: The Pectra upgrade, postponed twice already, aims to increase network scalability and decrease fees, potentially revitalizing network activity. If implemented without another delay, Jin believes it could catalyze Ethereum&#8217;s return to the $3,000 mark.
In the immediate term, ETH is expected to trade between $1,900-$2,100 through early April. The cryptocurrency traded at $1,857 Tuesday evening, up 0.43% in 24 hours, according to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/">data</a> from CoinMarketCap. 
The broader cryptocurrency market shows cautious optimism despite Ethereum&#8217;s challenges. Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dominance has reached 61.8%, its highest since February 2021, while Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44599257/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-edge-higher-as-market-braces-for-trumps-liberation-day-why-arthur-hayes-still-sees-btc-hitting-250000-by-year-end">struggles to maintain momentum above key price levels</a>.
Without unexpected market disruptions, Jin maintains that forecasts for Ethereum reaching historical highs of $6,000-$8,000 by year-end remain viable. She emphasized that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin&#8216;s team must develop innovative solutions to replace previous catalysts like ICOs, DeFi, NFTs, and metaverse projects to achieve these ambitious targets.

Ethereum Could Drop To $1,500 Before Pectra Upgrade, But $8,000 Remains In Sight

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban is arguing against the notion that artificial intelligence will be a primary driver of deflation and believes that it will be a massive driver of innovation and productivity.
What Happened: Anthony Pompliano, the founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management, in an X post claimed that AI will be the &#8220;strongest deflationary forces we will see in our lifetime.&#8221;
However, the American businessman and Shark Tank fame Cuban argued against this idea and said, &#8220;Disagree. Generative AI will be the greatest growth and productivity engine ever. We will see amazing new s&#x2A;&#x2A;t that replaces the old s&#x2A;&#x2A;t.&#8221;
He contends that entrepreneurs and investors will prioritize developing these new, high-potential AI-driven products over simply making existing products cheaper.
Cuban also defines deflation as a decrease in the price of existing goods and explains that AI will create new goods and services, for which people will pay a premium, rather than simply making existing goods cheaper. Therefore, he doesn&#8217;t believe AI will cause deflation.
&#8220;Deflation happens when we get more of what we already got at a cheaper price. When everything is new, entrepreneurs will charge what the market will bear,&#8221; said Cuban.

He also predicts that intellectual property will become increasingly valuable, as companies seek to protect their unique AI models and data. According to him, companies will start to paywall their IP, especially in fields like medicine, which will create many different models, instead of one model to rule them all.

Why It Matters: Apart from this, replying to other comments about AI taking up human jobs. Cuban claimed that he sees &#8220;more jobs&#8221; in the future. He explains that humans have a unique ability to capture and process real-time information from the world around them, which AI is not yet capable of.
Cuban also says new jobs will be particularly created in areas related to operating and managing AI-driven companies and conveying real-world information to AI models.

Mark Cuban Dismisses Concerns of AI Causing Deflation, Calls It The "Greatest Growth And Productivity Engine Ever"

On Tuesday, Val Kilmer, the legendary actor known for his role as Iceman in the Tom Cruise-starrer blockbuster film "Top Gun," passed away at the age of 65.
What Happened: Kilmer, whose career spanned over four decades, died after a battle with pneumonia, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/val-kilmer-actor-dead-pneumonia-7e8f27b1ec80f2940f7a7776f5f92804">reported</a> Associated Press, citing his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer.&nbsp;
Kilmer's health had been in decline since he was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, which led to a tracheotomy that altered his voice.
Despite his health struggles, Kilmer made a powerful return to the screen in 2022 with "Top Gun: Maverick," reprising his iconic role as Iceman.

Kilmer's film career included a wide variety of roles, from the brooding Batman in "Batman Forever" to the legendary Doc Holliday in "Tombstone."
People around the world, including Indian filmmaker Hansal Mehta, Rotten Tomatoes, Top Gun's official X handle, and many others, are flocking to social media and paying tribute to him.
