<p>West Texas Intermediate (WTI) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">crude oil has</a> been struggling lately, breaking below critical support levels, and experts are taking notice. </p>
<p>According to <strong>Adam Turnquist</strong>, chief technical strategist for LPL Financial, "Oil has struggled recently as tariff-related demand concerns weigh on risk appetite."</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tariff Woes Weigh On Oil Prices</strong></h1>
<p>The U.S. government's recent 10% tariff on oil imports, combined with China's retaliatory 125% tariff on U.S. goods (including oil), has spooked markets, fueling fears of reduced global oil demand.</p>
<p>The impact of the tariff tensions is evident in the International Energy Agency&#8217;s (IEA) decision to cut its 2025 demand growth forecast by 300,000 barrels per day to just 730,000. </p>
<p>Turnquist noted, "The White House's recent tariff of 10% on oil imports &#8230; and China's retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods &#8230; have stoked fears of reduced global economic growth and oil demand."</p>
<p>With the global outlook dimming, oil prices have taken a sharp downturn.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>OPEC+ Adds Fuel To The Fire</strong></h1>
<p>The supply side isn&#8217;t providing much relief either. After months of delays, OPEC+ announced an unexpected supply increase of 411,000 barrels per day starting in May. </p>
<p>This is partly to punish members like Kazakhstan for not adhering to output restrictions. OPEC+ may even hike supply again at its next meeting on May 5, which could further pressurize the market.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Technical Breakdown: A Bearish Flag Pattern Emerges</strong></h1>
<p>From a technical standpoint, WTI has plummeted to multi-year lows, breaking key support near $64. Turnquist describes the pattern as a "bearish flag," indicating heightened risk for further downside. If oil closes below $60, he warns, it could signal a drop toward $55-$56 as the next level of support.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>USO ETF Follows Suit</strong></h1>
<p>The <strong>United States Oil Fund LP</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), a popular proxy for oil, has mirrored this decline. The ETF is currently down 11.30% year-to-date and 8.79% over the past month.</p>

<p>With the stock price of USO sitting below its key moving averages and a bearish MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator reading of a negative 1.29, the outlook for the ETF remains grim. </p>
<p>A continued bearish trend in oil could signal more trouble for USO in the near future.</p>

Oil Drops Below Key Support: Is $55 The Next Stop For West Texas Intermediate?

<p>Goldman Sachs<strong> </strong>analyst James Schneider <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">maintained </span>a Buy rating on <strong>T-Mobile US, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) on Thursday, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/T/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $285</a>, up from $280.</p>
<p>Schneider expects the stock to trade lower following results that reflected relatively in-line financial metrics and postpaid phone net additions despite a modest uptick in financial guidance.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The analyst noted that, based on his conversations, investors expected a greater upside in postpaid phone net additions and an uptick in guidance, following the company&#8217;s historical pattern, especially in light of the acquisitions closed in the quarter.  </p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44978343/comcast-hit-hard-by-subscriber-exodus-nearly-630000-customers-gone-in-q1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Comcast Hit Hard By Subscriber Exodus, Nearly 630,000 Customers Gone In Q1</a></strong></p>
<p>Despite the higher promotional activity and churn metrics reported by all wireless carriers in the quarter, Schneider continues to see the wireless market backdrop as very healthy, given the ongoing plan price increases implemented by all carriers in recent months.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The analyst expects the company to continue its core wireless growth algorithm, with broadband driving the next chapter of growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Between <strong>AT&amp;T Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), <strong>Verizon Communications Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), Comcast, and T-Mobile, industry phone net additions are +853k in first-quarter of 2025 or 203k Y/Y which compares to +1,056k in first-quarter of 2024. This implies that industry growth remains relatively healthy but with a slowing growth rate.</p>
<p>On the residential broadband side, AT&amp;T (including DSL), Verizon (total consumer fixed + FWA), <strong>Comcast Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), and <strong>T-Mobile US, Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) (FWA) net additions were +596k in the first quarter of 2025 or -33k Y/Y, compared to 629k in the first quarter of 2024.</p>
<p>This implies that the industry is slowing somewhat.</p>
<p>Schneider does not expect the tower stocks to move significantly, as CapEx guidance was consistent with prior commentary.</p>
<p>T-Mobile <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44995935/t-mobile-shares-drop-despite-better-than-expected-q1-report-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported revenue of $20.89 billion</a>, just above Schneider&#8217;s estimate of $20.78 billion and above the Street (VA) at $20.64 billion, with an upside in equipment revenue.</p>
<p>Postpaid phone net additions came in at +495k, which is just above Schneider&#8217;s estimate of +486k but below the Street estimate of +499k. Meanwhile, high-speed internet net additions of +424k were above the analyst estimate of +399k and the Street estimate of +396k.</p>
<p>T-Mobile updated guidance for 2025. Postpaid net customer addition guidance remains 5.5-6.0 million (5.5-6.0 million prior), versus the analyst estimate of 6.03 million and the Street at 5.87 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

T-Mobile Beats Estimates, But Customer Growth Leaves Investors Wanting More, Says Analyst

<p><a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/swiss-franc-soars-as-trump-tariffs?r=3nmatg">A rise in global trade </a>tensions and growing uncertainty surrounding US economic policies under President Donald Trump have spurred investors to seek safe-haven investments.</p>
<p>Investors have turned to the<a href="https://x.com/eurocapinsights/status/1915806434765291776"> Swiss franc </a>for safety, given Switzerland's economic stability and moat against geopolitical risk. They have also turned to German Bunds to protect their investments.</p>
<p>In 2025, the franc became the top currency performer among G10 currencies, outperforming even the Japanese yen. As of mid-April, the USD/CHF pair had exceeded the levels last seen since the Swiss National Bank (SNB) abandoned its 1.20 franc per euro floor in 2015. Hovering just above 0.80, this is the lowest US dollar traded against the franc in almost 14 years.</p>
<p>The surge in the Swiss franc reflects capital outflows from the US into Swiss assets following Trump's aggressive tariff policies. Between April 3 and April 6, Trump's trade restrictions wiped out over $10 trillion in global equity value.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb2482370-9eb9-48e3-8c82-969595b4f499_1443x857.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb2482370-9eb9-48e3-8c82-969595b4f499_1443x857.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Swiss franc performance vs the euro and the U.S. dollar, Source: Reuters</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>"Investors are looking outside of the US for a safe, rule-of-law and we-can-rely-on-it government, with a well-run economy," April LaRusse, Head of Investment Specialists at Insight Investment,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/88f47b5b-c12c-49f1-ad3b-61545510c80d">said</a>.</p>
<p>LaRusse pointed at the&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EMOVE/">ICE BofA MOVE Index</a>, a measure of Treasury market volatility, which recently hit a one-year high, reinforcing the sentiment about turbulent expectations for the US Treasuries.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Tariffs Spark Refuge in German Bunds</h2>
<p>In previous cycles, the US bond market offered a cushion against equity sell-offs. This year has witnessed both asset classes tumble in tandem due to capital flight from the dollar.</p>
<p>However, Switzerland's $1 trillion economy is too small to absorb all the foreign interest, despite its debt capital market being as big as its GDP and increasing.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0a8de843-d937-4225-8fba-e57d07ed22ef_1097x487.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0a8de843-d937-4225-8fba-e57d07ed22ef_1097x487.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">CHF-denominated Bond Listings, Source:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.six-group.com/dam/download/the-swiss-stock-exchange/listing/equity/ipo/primary-debt-capital-market-report.pdf">Six Group</a></figcaption></figure></p>
<p>Thus, foreign capital also sought refuge in the German Bund. They currently yield around 2.50%, significantly higher than the Swiss 10-year bonds, which yield around 0.42%.</p>
<p>Bunds have rallied despite being jarred by Germany's aggressive fiscal expansion. The 10-year US-German yield spread widened by 30 basis points, reaching a 207 basis point difference on April 11. This development showcased the Bunds' strength as a perceived haven.</p>
<p>The German bond market accounts for around €4.2 trillion ($4.77 trillion), significantly smaller than the $28.6 trillion in the US. It also has around one-tenth in volume, limiting its ability to absorb large capital inflows.</p>
<p>As Steven Major, HSBC's Global Head of Fixed Income,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/rates-bonds/safe-european-home-scared-money-seeks-german-bunds-mike-dolan-2025-04-10/">said</a>: &#8220;Bunds offer better value as a safe haven with yields still elevated after the recent shift in fiscal policy&#8230;But they simply can't match the depth and liquidity of US Treasuries.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Foreign Investors Undeterred by German Recession</h2>
<p>Not even the risk of a&nbsp;<a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/german-euro-area-economic-sentiment?r=3nmatg">German recession&nbsp;</a>has deterred foreign interest. The German Composite Purchasing Managers' Index&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/euro-zone-business-growth-stalls-april-pmi-shows-2025-04-23/">fell to 50.1 in March</a>, narrowly remaining above the 50 threshold, which divides expansion and contraction.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.euractiv.com/section/economy-jobs/news/german-economic-forecast-slashed-to-zero-outgoing-minister-blames-trump-tariffs/">Germany cut</a>&nbsp;its economic forecast from 0.3% growth to zero for 2025, predicting a year of stagnation after a two-year recession. Earlier this week, the International Monetary Fund also projected that Germany would stagnate this year.</p>
<p>Speaking to Bloomberg Television on Wednesday, April 23, Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/germany-facing-recession-risk-on-tariffs-bundesbank-chief-warns">noted</a>&nbsp;that Europe is in a "stagnating situation." He added that a jump in public spending should help the economy, taking an optimistic stance that such a plan is possible without an inflationary effect.</p>
<p>The European Central Bank cut rates three times this year, bringing the benchmark interest rate from 3.15% to 2.40%.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6de6a213-ea49-45d4-8afd-aca40f763ac0_1170x588.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6de6a213-ea49-45d4-8afd-aca40f763ac0_1170x588.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Change in central bank policy rates, Source: LSEG /&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/markets-see-door-wide-open-more-ecb-rate-cuts-tariff-hit-2025-04-17/">Reuters</a></figcaption></figure></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Swiss Central Bank Faces Rates Dilemma</h2>
<p>While the Eurozone believes it can handle its higher public spending without an inflationary effect, after last month's rate cut, the SNB faces a dilemma. A strong franc exerts downward pressure on import prices and could reignite deflationary trends that Switzerland spent years trying to escape.</p>
<p>&#8220;For us as a small, open economy, the negative interest rate instrument is important,&#8221; governing board member Petra Tschudin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/swiss-national-bank-generation-change-does-not-alter-policy-board-member-says-2025-02-14/">said</a>&nbsp;in February. &#8220;It allows us to manage the interest rate differential even in a low interest rate environment.&#8221;</p>
<p>After an eight-year stint, SNB ended its negative interest rate policy in 2022. However, speculation persists that the central bank could be forced to reconsider.</p>
<p>Switzerland experienced a far more stable monetary environment, with interest rates peaking at 1.75% before five rate cuts, including a 50 bps cut on December 12, 2024.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8ca23d4f-f858-43ca-9796-5dd22e6ae2fb_1014x579.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8ca23d4f-f858-43ca-9796-5dd22e6ae2fb_1014x579.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">ECB vs SNB interest rate trajectory 2021-2025, Source:&nbsp;<a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/euro-area/interest-rate">TradingEconomics</a></figcaption></figure></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Predicts SNB Cuts to Negative Rates</h2>
<p>Goldman Sachs considers SNB the only major central bank to resume&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-14/snb-seen-resisting-urge-to-go-negative-in-fight-over-franc-gains">sub-zero rates</a>. The US investment bank projected a 25-basis-point cut to -0.25% by June. In contrast, most market participants see the SNB merely lowering the policy rate to zero.</p>
<p>This development would be troubling for Swiss bankers and savers. Negative interest rates compel banks to pass on costs to their clients, as the interest differential that generates revenue becomes negligible. Credit markets get distorted and risk appetite surges due to cheap capital.</p>
<p>UBS economist Maxime Botteron noted that limited franc sales by the SNB could already be underway, but he did not expect systematic interventions.</p>
<p>&#8220;Interventions are more flexible than interest rate cuts – the SNB can go into the market, sell some francs to ease the appreciation, and then stop,&#8221; he&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/swiss-francs-surge-tariff-turmoil-pressures-snb-act-2025-04-23/">said</a>.</p>
<p>With inflation remaining low and the risk of deflation returning—especially if the franc continues appreciating—the SNB's decision could be urgent.</p>

'Spotify to raise subscription prices outside the US'- Financial Times

<p><strong>B Of A Securities </strong>analyst <strong>Ronald J. Epstein</strong> raised the price forecast for <strong>GE Aerospace </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) from $225 to $230 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ge/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">while retaining a Buy rating</a>.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the company reported first-quarter 2025 adjusted revenue growth of $9 billion, in line with the consensus estimate of $9 billion, and adjusted EPS of $1.49 (+60% year-over-year), exceeding the consensus estimate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44921124/ge-aerospace-expands-q1-operating-margins-ceo-talks-cost-control-to-mitigate-tariff-impact" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of $1.26</a>.</p>
<p>GE Aerospace expects adjusted revenue growth in the low double digits and adjusted EPS of $5.10 – 5.45 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">vs. the $5.10 consensus</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst writes that, unlike companies vulnerable to a surge in tariffs, General Electric appears well-protected thanks to proactive mitigation efforts, its market strategy, and operational resilience.</p>

<p>Although the company anticipates a $500 million tariff-related cost, it has maintained its guidance, notes the analyst.</p>
<p>Epstein continues to expect low-double-digit growth for General Electric in 2025.</p>
<p>The analyst says that General Electric&#8217;s strong aftermarket, with 90% of second-quarter spare parts orders already in hand, should provide a buffer against margin pressure from the anticipated acceleration in Original Equipment (OE) business.</p>
<p>While Epstein doesn&#8217;t foresee significant headwinds in the second half of 2025, the broader risk of softening travel demand could be a headwind for GE.</p>
<p>Further weakening of the macro environment affecting travel or additional aerospace trade restrictions could pose a headwind to GE&#8217;s commercial sector, Epstein added.</p>
<p>He raised EPS estimates to $5.45 (from $5.40) for 2025, to $6.65 (from $6.60) for 2026, and to $7.65 (from $7.60) for 2027.</p>
