Wall Street kicked off the week with a cautious tone, as major stock indices hovered near the flatline by midday in New York. Investors digested fresh signs of inflationary pressure in the services sector, raising doubts about near-term rate cuts and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">weighing on risk appetite.</a>
The ISM Services PMI for April pointed to only marginal growth, the slowest since late 2023, while the index for prices paid surged to its highest reading in more than two years, reflecting a sharp rise in input costs amid renewed trade disruptions tied to tariffs announced last month by President Donald Trump.
The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2% to 5,670, while the Nasdaq 100 matched the decline to 20,050. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, managed a modest 0.2% gain. If the S&amp;P 500 closes higher, it would mark its tenth consecutive session of gains, the longest winning streak since September 1995.
Rising bond yields pressured equities, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing 4 basis points to 4.35%, and the 30-year yield up at 4.83%.
Speaking at the Milken Institute, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. was nearing agreements on new trade deals, potentially as soon as this week. He indicated that 17 trading partners, excluding China, had presented strong proposals, and suggested that meaningful progress with China could also emerge in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, oil prices dropped 2% to $57 a barrel following OPEC+'s signal of a 411,000 bpd production hike starting in June, with further increases possible over the summer.
Gold rallied 2%, on track for its strongest session in two weeks, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady near $94,000.

U.S. stock futures fell on Monday after a nine-day winning streak on the S&amp;P 500 index. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket.
The S&amp;P 500 index notched a nine-day advance for the first time since November 2004 on Friday.
While aboard Air Force One, Donald Trump confirmed U.S. officials are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45188171/china-pushes-for-special-envoys-as-direct-deal-with-trump-deemed-risky-plans-fentanyl-concessions-as-negotiating-leverage-report">engaged in trade discussions</a> with Chinese counterparts, though he has no planned meeting with President Xi Jinping this week. 
While the Chinese have proposed the concept of special envoys, the U.S. is reluctant, favoring direct negotiations between Trump and Xi. However, the Chinese view this proposal as "risky and uncertain", <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3308919/us-china-trade-stand-ease-negotiators-must-be-agreed-upon-analysts">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
Investors will also keep an eye on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision on interest rates this week.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.31% and the two-year bond was at 3.82%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 98.2% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Brian Therien, the investment strategist at Edward Jones, the process of completing a U.S.-China trade deal would likely be complex and lengthy. &#8220;Any de-escalation in trade tensions should be positive for the economy and financial markets, in our view,&#8221; he said.
The solid labor market should allow the Fed to remain on hold a while longer, said Therien, as it will help the Fed to gain greater clarity on the impact of tariffs on inflation.
&#8220;Bond markets have pushed back expectations for the next Fed funds rate cut to July, from June, though total rate cuts priced in for this year remain in the 3-4 range,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Wider earnings growth should drive more balanced market performance across sectors, strengthening the case for portfolio diversification, in our view,&#8221; he said about corporate earnings.
Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted that the S&amp;P 500 has witnessed seven other nine-day winning streaks over the last 40 years.
&#8220;Only once did the economy move into a recession within six months, and that was in 1990 when oil spiked due to Iraq invading Kuwait,&#8221; he highlighted.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index was in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday following the release of jobs data, with the S&amp;P 500 recording gains for the ninth consecutive day to notch its longest winning streak since Nov. 2004.
All three major averages recorded gains for the second week, with the S&amp;P 500 adding 2.9% and the Dow gaining 3% on the week. The Nasdaq, meanwhile, closed higher by 3.4% for the week.

Tyson Foods, Ford And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Monday

Cummins's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.61% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.03 million shares sold short, which is 1.7% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.85 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cummins has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Cummins's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cummins's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.09%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Uncovering Potential: Cummins's Earnings Preview

Despite growing skepticism on Wall Street, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer remains optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence infrastructure and data center stocks.
What Happened: Cramer acknowledged the turbulence in AI stocks, especially following revelations from DeepSeek, a Chinese startup. On top of that, there&#8217;s anxiety about Donald Trump's tariff policies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44780349/trumps-tariff-policies-fuel-economic-concerns-economists-expect-slower-growth-ahead">potentially hurting the broader economy</a>.
However, he thinks the data center boom isn't slowing down, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/jim-cramer-explains-why-hes-still-optimistic-on-data-center-buildout-.html">reported</a> CNBC on Thursday.
The Mad Money host mentioned that executives at Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&nbsp; have said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44914250/amazon-follows-microsofts-lead-halts-some-data-center-deals-executive-says-routine-capacity-management">they're still spending big</a> on data centers.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) may be building <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44733013/microsoft-shelves-1-billion-ohio-data-center-plans-amid-global-project-withdrawals-we-are-slowing-or-pausing-some-early-stage-projects">fewer data centers</a> for OpenAI, but Cramer said that's likely because ChatGPT-parent is now raising its own money to do it independently.

He believes that if trade tensions ease and AI enthusiasm resurges, several sectors are poised for significant growth, including:
<ul>
<li>Semiconductors: Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>)</li>
<li>Server and networking gear: Arista Networks (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>)</li>
<li>Data center builders and power suppliers: CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>), Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Vistra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>)</li>
<li>Cooling and climate control: Carrier Global (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CARR#NYSE">CARR</a>), Trane Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TT#NYSE">TT</a>)</li>
<li>Industrial manufacturers: Cummins (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>), Dover Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOV#NYSE">DOV</a>)</li>
</ul>
"These are very much cyclical companies, so you can't just buy them if you think we're headed into a recession," he stated, adding, "But if we get a reprieve on some of…these tariff issues and investors return to the AI trade, I just gave you everything that's going to fly again."
Why It's Important: In January, DeepSeek's assertion that its AI model was built at a fraction of the cost of its U.S. competitors led to Nvidia losing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43876025/nvidia-ceo-attributed-the-deepseek-led-sell-off-to-investor-misconception-on-ai-spending-obviously-that-paradigm-is-wrong">$600 billion in market cap</a> in just one day.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, the International Monetary Fund <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44926902/imf-slashes-us-growth-outlook-as-trump-tariffs-bite-raises-recession-odds-to-40">significantly revised down its 2025 growth</a> forecast for the U.S., attributing the downgrade to President Trump&#8217;s broad tariffs and increasing economic uncertainty.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives the company a strong growth score of 94.78%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other top tech giants</a> such as Microsoft, Amazon, Broadcom, Arm, and more.

10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

In the current market session, Cummins Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) price is at $283.64, after a 1.10% increase. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 12.83%, and in the past year, by 1.36%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Comparing Cummins P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 24.3 in the Machinery industry, Cummins Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.89. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744916420_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed her significant stock purchases made just before and on the day of President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement to pause global tariffs. This announcement had a substantial impact on the stock market.
What Happened: Based on the information disclosed to the House, Greene bought stocks valued between $21,000 and $315,000 on April 8 and 9. On April 8, she also sold Treasury bills worth between $50,000 and $100,000, according to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Benzinga Government Trades tracker.</a>
Greene&#8217;s stock purchases included shares in several companies, such as&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which has since appreciated by approximately 5%. She also invested in other tech firms, energy companies like&nbsp;Devon Energy Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>), and pharmaceutical giant&nbsp;Merck &amp; Company&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>).
On April 8, Greene bought stocks in&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). These transactions occurred&nbsp;as government bond yields were&nbsp;on the rise amidst the tariff turmoil.
Here's a look at the stocks Greene purchased during the period:

Why It Matters: Greene&#8217;s stock trades have raised eyebrows, especially considering the timing of her purchases. The trades coincided with former President Trump&#8217;s tariff pause announcement, which led to a significant surge in the stock market. 
This has led to calls for an investigation into potential insider trading related to President Trump&#8217;s market communications before the tariff pause announcement. Key Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have expressed concerns about possible corruption. Schiff and Warren pointed out a post on Truth Social where Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44747573/adam-schiff-and-elizabeth-warren-call-for-investigation-into-possible-insider-trading-by-trump-allie"> encouraged buying stocks</a> just hours before the tariff pause announcement that sent markets soaring.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York&nbsp;urged a ban on stock trading by members of Congress following the revelation of Ms. Greene's investment activities. He told <a href="https://jeffries.house.gov/2025/04/14/leader-jeffries-we-are-going-to-hold-republicans-accountable-for-any-effort-to-dismantle-social-security/">MSNBC </a>on Monday, "We obviously have to continue to highlight why this is problematic."

Marjorie Taylor Greene Made Large Stock Purchases Ahead Of Trump's 90-Day Tariff Pause: Hakeem Jeffries Calls It 'Problematic'

Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44756353/xi-jinping-says-there-are-no-winners-in-tariff-war-as-china-slaps-125-tariffs-on-us-goods-urges-trump-to-immediately-correct-wrongdoings">growing concerns about renewed trade</a> tensions between Washington and Beijing, one analyst says the drama may be more performative than policy-driven.
What Happened: Marko Papic, chief strategist at BCA Research, downplayed the long-term impact of escalating U.S.-China tariff rhetoric, suggesting that the latest threats may be largely symbolic and unlikely to result in sustained economic disruption.
"As the kids would say — just for the LOLz," Papic said in an interview with CNBC on Friday, referencing what he sees as political posturing from both sides.
His comments come after China's finance ministry accused the U.S. of "bullying" and warned that aggressive tariff policies could make America look like a "joke" on the global stage.
Papic acknowledged that markets are reacting to fears of a policy-induced slowdown, particularly in sectors like commodities, but said those concerns may be exaggerated. "It's not like this is a great financial crisis," he noted.
He's also not convinced that these trade policies— tariffs and bringing manufacturing back—will actually work or happen as planned. "When was the last time any U.S. policymaker actually referred to them [tariffs] as revenue raisers?"

Why It Matters: On Friday, Xi Jinping sharply raised tariffs on U.S. goods from 84% to a record 125%. This came after President Donald Trump hiked tariffs on Thursday, pushing the cost of Chinese imports to at least 145%. This jump results from a new 125% retaliatory tariff layered on top of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44757476/asia-mixed-europe-slides-as-china-tariff-hike-escalates-tensions-gold-soars-dollar-hits-two-year-low-global-markets-today-while-us-slept">existing 20% duties</a>.
While these measures respond to Trump's tariffs, China itself isn't shielded from the fallout. Goldman Sachs has lowered its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44740040/chinas-growth-outlook-dims-as-trumps-125-tariffs-put-millions-of-jobs-at-risk-goldman-warns">growth forecast for the country</a> and warned that up to 20 million export-related jobs could be at risk. The investment bank, however, attributed this outlook not only to U.S. tariffs but also to broader global economic uncertainty.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44762211/10-companies-with-exposure-to-trumps-china-tariff-war-ford-tesla-apple-disney-and-more">Strategy Risks report has identified</a> major U.S. public companies most overexposed to China, evaluating them across categories like Business Fundamentals, Partnerships and Politics, Regional Issues, Supply Chain, and Capacity.

Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) U.S. energy division risks soaring costs from tariffs on Chinese battery cells, potentially doubling Powerwall and Megapack production expenses. Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) is facing cost pressures from tariffs on key ingredients like sucralose, which may impact profitability.
Cummins, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) maintains deep ties to China through joint ventures and clean energy initiatives. RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), with thousands of Chinese suppliers, has admitted that decoupling is unfeasible.
Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) has begun adding surcharges due to tariff-related supply disruptions.

President Donald Trump raised tariffs on Thursday, increasing the price of Chinese imports to a minimum of 145%. The move combines a 125% reciprocal tariff increase with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44757476/asia-mixed-europe-slides-as-china-tariff-hike-escalates-tensions-gold-soars-dollar-hits-two-year-low-global-markets-today-while-us-slept">pre-existing 20% duties</a>.
