Compass Point Downgrades Independence Realty Trust to Neutral, Announces $22 Price Target

China firmly rejected responsibility for the U.S. fentanyl crisis on Tuesday, calling Washington&#8217;s punitive tariffs unreasonable even as broader trade tensions between the world&#8217;s two largest economies show signs of easing.
What Happened: &#8220;The responsibility of tackling the fentanyl issue in the United States lies within the U.S. itself,&#8221; Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated during a regular press briefing, according to Reuters. Lin was responding to questions about whether fentanyl would be discussed in future trade negotiations.
The comments come just days after both nations pledged to significantly reduce tariffs following productive talks in Switzerland. Despite this progress, the U.S. maintained its 20% tariffs specifically tied to fentanyl, claiming Beijing hasn&#8217;t done enough to stem the flow of precursor chemicals used to manufacture the deadly opioid.

Why It Matters: President Donald Trump&#8216;s Monday executive order decreased general <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45368852/trump-lowers-de-minimis-tariff-on-chinese-imports-from-120-to-54-pauses-200-postal-fee-amid-90-day-trade-shift">Chinese import tariffs to 10% for a 90-day negotiation period</a> and reduced the de minimis rate on low-value imports from 120% to 54%, effective Tuesday. However, the fentanyl-related tariffs remained intact.
Analysts suggest the fentanyl issue could become a <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">strategic bargaining chip in upcoming negotiations</a>. &#8220;Beijing is hoping to use fentanyl cooperation as either a catalyst for U.S.-China trade talks or a bargaining chip in a future round of negotiations,&#8221; Jeremy Chan of Eurasia Group said.
Morgan Stanley economists project that continued negotiations could potentially lower overall tariffs on Chinese imports to 34% by the end of 2025, which would indicate the eventual elimination of the 20% fentanyl-specific tariff if sufficient progress is made on addressing U.S. concerns.

The shares of Avic Chengdu Aircraft, known for manufacturing fighter jets like the JF-17 Thunder and the J-10C Vigorous Dragon, saw a 41.08% surge over the past five days since the commencement of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45335338/trump-makes-india-pakistan-ceasefire-declaration-in-casual-manner-thank-you-for-your-attention-to-this-matter"> India-Pakistan conflict.</a>
What Happened: This rise was amid growing tensions between India and Pakistan following New Delhi&#8217;s recent military actions to avenge the alleged killings of tourists by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45369837/piers-morgan-tears-into-pakistani-expert-who-says-isi-didnt-know-osama-bin-laden-was-living-near-military-base-all-they-had-to-do-was-get-a-pair-of-binoculars">Pakistani terrorists</a> in Pahalgam, Kashmir.
On Friday, U.S. officials confirmed that a Chinese-made J-10 fighter jet fired air-to-air missiles at Indian aircraft, reportedly resulting in the downing of a French-built Rafale jet. The Pakistani Defense Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, also said that the Chinese-made J-10 was used to shoot down three of India's newly acquired Rafale jets. 
Notably, the Indian military has not issued a clear response to the claim. "We are in a combat scenario and losses are a part of it. All our pilots are back home," stated Air Marshal A.K. Bharti on Sunday.
However, after a steep rise, the Avic Chengdu stock tumbled over 7% on Tuesday, possibly in response to a statement from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Modi on Monday announced the successful completion of Operation Sindoor. This statement triggered a massive selloff in Chinese defense stocks.

Why It Matters: If confirmed, this would be the first combat success of the J-10 family since the original J-10 was unveiled 27 years ago. Pakistan, a long-standing ally of China, is the only foreign country operating the advanced J-10C, with a fleet of 20. This incident also marked the first reported loss of a Rafale fighter jet in combat, according <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3309781/j-10cs-deepseek-moment-beijing-muted-china-cheers-fighter-jet-combat-reports">to</a> the South China Morning Post.
While Chinese citizens praised the J-10C fighter jet&#8217;s role in the India-Pakistan conflict as a milestone for China&#8217;s defense industry, Beijing maintained a cautious stance. Analysts attributed this to geopolitical sensitivities and military prudence. The only official response from Beijing urged both countries to show restraint and avoid escalating tensions, reported the publication. 
Meanwhile, this incident had sent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45342121/chinese-made-pakistani-jet-downs-two-indian-aircraft">shockwaves across defense circles </a>and rattled investors, causing shares of French manufacturer Dassault Aviation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUAVF#OTC">DUAVF</a>) to plunge.
